Feedzy Read More Welcome to World Cup 2026! It’s the first year for this expanded tournament with 48 teams participating. That means a lot more teams that might not normally make the World Cup like Curacao and Haiti. It is also, I believe, the first time that the tournament has been hosted by three nations — the whole of North America is involved with the USA, Canada, and Mexico all co-hosting.The tournament starts in Mexico with Group A, the host nation playing against 2010 hosts South Africa this afternoon in Mexico City, followed by the nightcap of South Korea vs. Czechia in Guadalajara. Stay up late (or get up extra early four our UK contingent) and you get to see Son Heung-Min lead his nation for what could be the last World Cup of his career.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis is your open thread.
