. But, can't help but wonder when we'll find out if England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland are gonna make the cut? Fingers crossed for all of them! I've got a feeling this World Cup 2026 is going to be lit โ think drama, thrills, and some serious football magic 
๏ธ. MetLife Stadium in NJ sounds like an epic finale, can't wait to see it all go down!
i've been following the teams for ages now and this one's gonna be so intense! what's up with mexico hosting south africa though? wouldn't they rather have a home team in their own country? still, can't wait to see england & scotland get ready to take on the best teams in the world 
. I mean, they've got some great stadiums but have they thought about how the security and logistics will play out on such a global stage? Also, with Canada and Mexico joining in, it's gonna be a logistical nightmare trying to manage all those teams and venues 
. Can't wait for the England and Ireland squads to confirm their participation though! Fingers crossed they make it through qualifying 
. I mean, didn't we learn from 2014? 
Anyway, Mexico is going to be hosting a bunch of games and their fans are getting hyped! 
But what's really got me thinking is how this tournament is going to impact the environment 
. All those planes flying in for the matches, not to mention the carbon footprint from the stadiums... we're talking about a massive production here. It's like they say, "you get what you pay for"... and we're paying with our planet 
Can't wait to see England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland get their participation info out soon. Think it's gonna be tough for them to qualify but you never know, right? Either way, this World Cup 2026 is shaping up to be an epic tournament! Might be a bit sad if they don't make it though 
Still super hyped to see all the teams go head-to-head in the US and Canada 
i'm really hoping england makes it to the finals again, they're my fave team! 
the whole thing feels so much bigger than last time, with more teams and countries participating, it's gonna be a real spectacle 
it's just gonna be another overpriced ticket debacle and everyone's gonna end up stressed about who's gonna win or whatever...and don't even get me started on the traffic in mexico city 
i mean, have they thought of how we're gonna get from one place to another with all these fans flooding the streets? it's like they expect us to just magically appear and disappear again...and what's up with the teams not announcing yet? is it a conspiracy or something? 
another excuse for people to travel and waste money on overpriced stadium food 
... also, have you seen the ticket prices already? insane! 
like who's gonna be able to afford a decent pair of boots let alone tickets to the World Cup 
. not looking forward to all the traffic congestion and road closures too 
. And have you seen the schedule? 104 games in one month is insane! 
. The USA and Canada are all set to host some amazing matches, can't wait to catch a few on my big screen 
. And let's not forget about the fans, I've got my FIFA World Cup 2026 fantasy league ready to go 
I mean, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Republic of Ireland are all so passionate about the sport, their fans must be dying to know if they'll get a chance to cheer on their heroes in person. And can you imagine the atmosphere when Mexico hosts South Africa - it's going to be absolute pandemonium! 
The stage is set for some serious drama and excitement, and I am SO here for it 
. Bring on the World Cup 2026!
