CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani announced today that they expected the United States, Mexico, and Canada to submit a joint bid to FIFA to host the 2026 World Cup. Speculation of the rumored joint bid has been circulating for months, but as FIFA has started releasing their plans for expanding the World Cup to 48 teams beginning in 2026, it appears the joint bid will be a formality.
But, while it may be a good move for Mexico and an excellent move for Canada, it’s not the right move for the United States and fans of the game who would attend the World Cup for several reasons.
