Canada/USA/Mexico awarded the 2026 World Cup, whilst this is a better option then Morrroco it's still yet another fucking stupid decision by FIFA especially as this will be the first WC to be a 48 team final!!
3 Canadian City's
3 Mexico City's
14 US City's (not sure all will host) which are across the width of the country so multiple time zones come into play.
Yep Absolutely stupid idea.
Three countries, three possible visas to get.
Any idea how long it takes to drive from Toronto to LA ? ( fekkin Days at 55 miles per hour)
Then you possibly need different currencies and as most know you cannot get cash in the states because the cash machines are all being abused by Ruskies.
Can't hire a car in the US and drive to Canada or Mexico without extra insurance. A complete bollox by FIFA.
On top of that you have the US Bars and Restaurants with the balls to ask for service tips up to 22% . City64's Beer tab will be enormous !
I am sure many on this site have been to the US or Canada but it's like having a game in Turkey , followed by a game in Oslo and then traipsing down to Sicily for the last game before England fly home.
