2026 World Cup USA/Canada/Mexico

Sickened that DC or Baltimore weren’t chosen as would have been less than an hour from my gaff to either stadium.  Very unusual not to have games in the capital city of the biggest host country but FedEx is a kip and Audi Field not big enough I guess.  Shocked the Ravens stadium in Baltimore wasn’t picked though.

Would love us to qualify for this. Alas, we won't

Starts next March yeah and draw will be in December. With the expansion of the NLs to include relegation/promotion play offs, quarter finals for League A, and qualification group's now teams of five or four I think there'll b some teams who won't play qualifiers until September 2025 if they end up in a four team group which is mad.
