World Cup 2026

Over here we’re getting a lot of stories about inflated prices for tickets/transport/accommodation and the suggestion that many games may not be well attended?

I do wonder if a 48 team tournament is a step too far but I’m sure I’ll be watching several games.
 
The group of death distinction is a bit weirder with this one since 2/3 of the groups will have three teams advance out of them.
Yep more teams this year.

  • Knockout Progression: The top two teams in each group, plus the eight best third-place teams, advance to a new Round of 32.
 
Yeah it's an entire extra round for knockout. If you can get even just one win in the group play you have a good chance to advance
