This is not a drill. Mexico, Canada and the United States are hosting the 2026 World Cup. The three countries all banded together like the three amigos to give us one heck of a stadium lineup in eight years and people are pumped up. The three countries defeated Morocco for the highly coveted soccer event.
For those fans who struggle over supporting Mexico or the USMNT during the World Cup, 2026 is going to make it mush easier.

It will be the first time Canada will be hosting the event, the U.S.’s second time and Mexico’s third—an unprecedented number for a host country so far. It will also be the first time the playing field is expanded from 32 teams to 48.
In order to figure out how to get to each host country, people were already planning out their travel itineraries and some people didn’t. 👏🏾 come. 👏🏾 to. 👏🏾 play. 👏🏾

Will Mexico be able to pull its weight in hosting its fair share of 10 out of the 80 games that will be played?
Of course, there are already some savage memes calling Mexico weak.
