Yet, now what we're hearing is a joint bid with Mexico/United States/Canada which I hate. Even with the nonsense of going from 32 to 48 countries, there is zero reason the United States couldn't host the event on its own. This is salt in the wound and robbing us to show just how far we've come since 1994 in so many ways. Part of me honestly be fine losing this bid and getting a 2034 or 2038 US only World Cup. |

IMO countries which are capable of hosting the World Cup on their own shouldn't be allowed to host the World Cup joint with other countries. Whenever countries submit a joint bid FIFA should investigate if those countries can host it on their own, and if they can host it on their own the joint bid shouldn't be accepted by FIFA. It's just taking tickets out of the qualifiers. |

Maybe Donald Trump is preparing to annex Mexico and Canada, so by 2026 it'll only be one country?
