very excited for us to be a part of this. the growth of the sport in our country has been immense over the years. TFC has become one of the most popular teams in the MLS which is a pretty positive influence on it all. |
Ten games in three cities in Canada, same for Mexico, USA will host the remaining 60.
48 teams, 16 groups of three. This means that one team in each group will play their first match against a team who has already played, which will be a disadvantage. I guess they may reform it.
I think it will be a good World Cup, and the facilities are already there. So looks good.
I do feel a bit annoyed that Mexico will be hosting for a third time (1970, 1986, 2026) and the USA a second (1994, 2026), all hosted since England had their only World Cup (1966). I really don't think that's fair.
