The biggest World Cup tournament in history has arrived in North America, and soccer fans across the globe are buzzing with excitement for the opening matches and star-studded ceremonies on Thursday and Friday.
From Mexico City to New York to Toronto, millions of spectators draped in their country's colors will gather to watch as 48 national soccer teams compete at the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. It's the first time the tournament will use the newly expanded field, up from the previous 32-team format that had been in place since 1998.
It's also the first time three nations are hosting one of the world's most-watched sporting events.

(yawn...)
I cannot wait for 90 minutes of scoreless action.
Then you can always watch a basketball game last 60 seconds when the outcome is decided. Of course you'll miss all the 4 step traveling non calls.

240 minutes would be awesome!! ⚽⚽⚽
4 hours of uninterrupted vuvuzelas!!
I guess you’ve never watched a baseball game?
Is Shakira one of those Euroweenie players that always falls down to try to force a foul? I can’t wait to troll post until this gay sport stuff is finished and goes back to commie lands.
“It’s also the first time three nations are hosting one of the world’s most-watched sporting events.” I’d rather watch Caitlin Clark play basketball or Nelly Korda play golf.
She went from playing at the Super Bowl to...this

Shakira and Burna Boy will perform “Dai Dai,” the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, at the opening ceremony.
So fitting...not real talent for not a real sport.
Hey!!! My Detroit Tigers occasionally score a run!
True, but you can watch 30 free throws in that final minute.
Or they can get a few games worth all at once like today’s 11!
They’re pretty close to the Royals.
(3) No other “sport” ends in as many scoreless ties as soccer. This was an actual marquee sign by the freeway in Long Beach, California, about a World Cup game last week: “2nd period, 11 minutes left, score: 0:0.” Two hours later, another World Cup game was on the same screen: “1st period, 8 minutes left, score: 0:0.” If Michael Jackson had treated his chronic insomnia with a tape of Argentina vs. Brazil instead of Propofol, he’d still be alive, although bored.

240 minutes is enough time for every player on both teams to flop. And enough time for President Trump to get a full night’s rest. No extra time needed.
What is a Fifi world cup?
