Hey everyone,
Just saw the news drop! The big one is set: December 5th in D.C. That’s when we finally find out who our team is going to be facing in the group stage. Honestly, the draw is almost as exciting as the tournament itself, but with the new 48-team format, it feels like a total lottery.
I’m trying to be optimistic, but you know how it goes. You always end up with that one group of death that just ruins your summer.
Here’s what we know about the tournament so far, just to get the blood pumping:
- The Hosts are In:USA, Mexico, and Canada are already qualified. Good for them, but it means three fewer spots for everyone else to fight for!
- The Dates:June 11th to July 19th, 2026. Get your vacation time booked now!
- The Final:MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Imagine the atmosphere!
I’m already sweating about the pots. I’m not even worried about the big, obvious teams. It’s always that one dark horse from a different confederation that comes out of nowhere and messes everything up.
My personal “Avoid at All Costs” list right now:
- That one African team with crazy pace: They always catch us off guard. Give me a tactical battle over a track meet any day.
- Any team from the AFC that has qualified early: They’ve been playing competitive games for ages while we’ve been doing friendlies. They’ll be sharp.
- The hosts (USA/Mexico): Not because they’re the best, but because playing a host nation is always a nightmare with the crowd and the refs. Just a logistical headache, you know?
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I’m hyped for the draw, but also dreading it.
What about you guys? Which team or which type of team are you praying we don’t get drawn against in December?
