Ok I didn't know about the fact they didn't bid, I haven't been keeping up with this. Milwaukee? I meant the Green Bay Packers stadium, which covers the whole state of Wisconsin pretty well.

I'm also shocked Charlotte didn't get any games either. Hell, even Denver could've got some games. The host cities for the 2026 WC are a huge let-down imo. The only city that's appealing is KC.

Lol. I lived in Wisconsin for a time. Loved it up there aside from the winters which are pretty tough. But suggesting Green Bay, WI which is a two hour drive from Milwaukee should’ve been considered to host a World Cup match is a wild shout, even for you Emir.

I think the 2026 WC should be used to bring soccer culture to a lot of smaller cities and parts of middle America, that never had a previous soccer fanbase. Bringing the WC to these cities will do exactly that to drive up the popularity of soccer. It's all well and good having games in Seattle, where the city already has a thriving soccer culture as supposed to somewhere like Cinncinati, which could do with extra exposure.
 
The Monterey stadium with the backdrop of the mountains is stunning.

I'm surprised Mexico which is a Football mad nation only have a few games.

The Toronto stadium is awfully small and average for a World cup.

World Cup final will probably be in Metlife Stadium, will probably be a typical sticky NYC/NJ humid July hot day as well which wil make the final a struggle.

It was always going to be a US centric bid, but they incorporated Canada and Mexico for a sure fire way to guarantee it.

Canada only has two venues, but subsequently will qualify automatically as a host now. BMO Field will be expanded and renovated for the tournament to meet FIFA conditions.

That Monterrey stadium is fantastic, but so is the Estadio Akron, In Guadalajara.

I’ll hope we draw ourselves in a Mexican group, personally.
