I don't really pay attention to Soccer too much (Football to everyone else) until the FIFA World Cup qualifiers roll around every 4 years, I was sad after the US missed the world cup the last time when everybody thought we would qualify by getting a positive result against Trinidad & Tobago which didn't happen.
The US qualified last Wednesday due to a goal differential when they lost by less than 6 (2-0) against Costa Rica . which still has a chance in a playoff match to make it to Qatar. The US and Canada are in the CONCACAF qualifying region and Canada topped the qualifying rounds which was very surprising, but they are very good. 3 teams qualified so far, Canada, Mexico and then the US. Costa Rica still has a chance to make it. The 2026 World Cup will be held in Canada, Mexico and the US.
These are the groups which were assigned today among the qualifiers, the draw in Qatar came out today and the first match will be on 11/21.

I still think the defending champions France have a chance to repeat which is very rare.
Match Schedule:
Congrats to all of the nations that have qualified so far!
There are still 3 teams that will qualify, the next one will be between UAE vs. the Australia or Peru winner on June 6th!
Then Costa Rica vs. New Zealand .
The US's first match in the World Cup will be another European qualifier to be decided, it will be Wales vs. the Scotland or Ukraine winner.
It will be very hard for me to root against Ukraine if they make it!
