2026 World Cup bid proposes 60 matches in USA, 10 in MEX, 10 in CAN
— Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) April 10, 2017

All matches from quarterfinals on would take place in US #WorldCup 2026
— Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) April 10, 2017

Not even a proper joint bid, it's more like the US hosting it with Mexico and Canada getting 10 shit matches each. What a pathetic bid

I wonder where the 10 matches in Canada would be. We don't have that many World Cup-ready stadiums. Obviously there'd be Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, but what after that? Winnipeg, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, and Quebec City?

This hurts to say as an American who deeply loves the sport, I was too young for 1994 and desperate to see a World Cup on home soil, but I want this to fail. Much rather do it right in 2034/2038 than burn our one shot with this nonsense in 2026 and never see another one.

Qatar can host one, but we have to share it with two other nations. Makes me sick.

It's not like the US has to. They could bid on their own if they really wanted to.

I'd be willing to bet you've got more than Qatar

And that seems like a lot of cities for just 10 games. Wouldn't be surprised if the plan was to just use two or three stadiums or something, 10 games really isn't many...

Apparently, we only have 1 right now, in Montreal. I guess we could have it in less venues, but we'll see how they'll propose it.

3 stadiums is plenty for 10 matches.

Don't y'all have a bunch of Canadian football stadiums too? How hard can it be to change the pitch in them to use for regular football?

We do have some CFL teams, but most of them don't have the capacity for World Cup matches, and I'm not sure if they can fit a football stadium.

Neymar will miss the match against Barcelona. He's been suspended for 2 games, 1 for the red card and 1 for applauding the assistant referee.

Nothing with Wengar has changed. The players still need to stop being pathetic too you know. It's a team game after all.

Wengar would be silly not to leave at the end of the season, not for Arsenal's sake who will fail next season with or without him but for his, he should go to the south of France, relax and drink red wine.

Hmm, pie.
