- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
Well, the Concacaf eliminatory season 2024-2025 it's going to be EASY. congrats to Mexico. Deserver it and to Canada's futball team as wel. I wonder when is going to be the time for Colombia. Hope 2030.
Well Trump can see which countries voted against and hold a lifetime gruge against them... and probably tweet shit about them being sore losers or whatever...
China PR are totally gonna get some shit from him.... And North Korea too lol.

According to wikipedia, Dallas is one of the proposed cities in the bid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–Mexico–United_States_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid#United_States
Fuck him he'll be long gone by then too good riddance in advance.
NDP things
makes me mad beyond belief. we (Vancouver) have a pretty newly renovated 52,000 seat stadium that hosted the Women's World Cup final, would've been perfect.
We have no field. Players don't want to play on artificial surfaces.
Fantastic, but will we actually be playing in it?
My sweet summer child, i'll be 40. That's terrifying.
Yep hopefully...
Also Russia voted for the Canada / Mexico / US bid.... of course.
Awesome! The kids will be old enough to enjoy going to the games and following by then ! Hope we get some good games in sf bay area
I see, I live in Toronto and I'm assuming they'll use BMO field. I doubt it's any better than whatever Vancouver has?
Apparently Vancouver dropped out voluntarily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canad...tarily_dropped_out_during_application_process
I am sure that is the reason. You don't choose Edmonton over Vancouver if that doesn't factor into it. The women complained and were upset about it too for the women's world cup.
For some reason I was reminded of the guy who own-goaled his team than apparently got murdered for it. RIP Andres Escobar. I can't remember who won or lost, but this tragedy was burned into my brain
Great if you have a rich country passport that allows you to travel without the need for a passport. Shit if, like me, you'll need three different Visas to move between the three countries.
I understand why Canada only has 10 matches, but Mexico should host more of them.
I agree, but it's about sponsors and ad revenue not about the actual games and atmosphere.
You will get way more hardcore fans in Mexico, but US stadiums have an abundance of private/corporate box seats, CEO/VIPs to wine and dine and deals to be made.
Awesome. Hope to see what matchups come to Boston / Foxborough and where they play them. I'm assuming Harvard's stadium is too small and that it'll be at Gilette in Foxborough, which already hosts pro soccer.
Putting my house up on AirBnb YESTERDAY and going on vacation for the week.

Awesome news. I was critical of this bid, because I'm not a fan of three country bids for stuff like this, but I must admit to feeling some pride when I saw the news this morning.
tell me about it. as a huge soccer fan in vancouver (see: avatar) who's been waiting to see the world cup in my city for basically my entire life, the fact that we're so fucking equipped to host it (our stadium is newly renovated, world class) and yet won't REALLY STINGS.
it is a factor, but certainly not the biggest. that was just the NDP's concern about FIFA
I can see it already. Mexico gets 2 host cities, Canada 1, and the US 13.
I think it's a terrible idea for 3 absolutely gigantic (size) countries to host the WC, but hey, at least it's the first (only?) WC that'll be hosted in my home country (Canada) and I should be able to see some games!
