Honestly no idea. Voted England because...
But genuinely given how expanded it is now in terms of teams, and the issues around climate etc, I do wonder if an unfancied team might somehow make it to the final and win it. And by unfancied I'm talking someone like Belgium or the Netherlands, not a USA or a Scotland.

Isn't there some kind of record for host nations always making it to at least the last 16? Or did South Africa ruin that?
When the games were announced and Seattle was selected as a host city, everyone was excited at what it could bring to the city.
Now, I can't find a single person who cares about it.
They just want it over.

unlese they fill up the seats with ai and or with vr
or fill the seats with live action style cartoons characters
I can't get excited for this event. I'll watch if I am skipping through the channels, but everything I've heard going in is so negative that I feel like it has overshadowed what should be great about the World Cup. It's just so bogged down by the off field corruption.
Yep. After that bogus award they gave to trump, i lost all interest. Formula One is less corrupt.
So we have members of the Iranian delegation denied entry to the US, a referee who is due to officiate has also been denied entry.
The US is also refusing to allow the Iran team to travel and stay overnight for their games, they must enter and leave the US on the day of the game.
And FIFA will just bury their heads.

Iran's ticket allocation has been withdrawn, too, meaning their fans can't even go to the games (at least according to the Reuters app notification, can't read the article because it's paywalled).
My local news just ran a story that says hotel bookings in Seattle are down 5% from this time last year, with many reservations being canceled.
World Cup 2026: Somali referee Omar Artan to miss tournament after being barred from entering US
Omar Artan, who was set to be the first Somali to referee at the World Cup finals, is dropped from the list of officials after he was denied entry to the United States.

It's weird that a World Cup in North America might weirdly be seen as more (or at least as) problematic than ones in Russia and Qatar!
...and during the country's semiquincentennial celebrations. What an utter disgrace.
There's certainly a lot wrong off the pitch, but then, anything involving this crazy Trump administration was going to go badly wrong, sooner or later. It's pretty disgusting as to how it's all being handled.
On the pitch, I can't see past Spain. They ought to at least reach the final, anything less than that will be a diaster.
