So the US, Canada and Mexico get the 2026 World Cup.

That's Mexico's third bite of the cherry since 1970 and the US's second since 1994.

Looks like it'll be a while before we have a World Cup in a country that actually has a major football culture again. I'll be nearly 60 by that time, if I'm spared. :-(

And Canada utterly despises football, from those I've known (present company excepted). And three teams who don't have to qualify.

At least a WC in a proper football country starts tomorrow. :-)

Yeah, they didn't even bother, really, did they? Even the shape tells you they literally knocked it up on the back of a beer mat about 15 minutes before the deadline.

Exactly, they try too hard these days. The Russians have sort of gone with a wolf suffering from glaucoma

Seems a strange decision not to go with a bear, tbh. Or a double-headed eagle if they wanted to go proper retro.

I was just thinking that, even a Siberian Tiger. Don't really think of Russia and Wolves
