But OMG why does :USA get such an easy one compared to ours?

After all the sucking up to Trump, making an award for him, and giving him the stage for 10 minutes, I AM SHOCKED! 

 

I would think foul play was afoot if not for FIFA's stellar reputation of being adverse to corruption.

It’s literally the easiest group in the history of the World Cup >.>

 

TBH I don’t think any of the hosts have room to complain.

Canada is the only one who got two European teams. USA got the weakest team in Pot 2, Mexico got the weakest team in Pot 3. All three got UEFA picks, the strongest possibility for Mexico is Denmark (ranked 21), the strongest for the USA is Turkey (25), while the strongest for Canada is Italy (12).

 

So, if we add up current FIFA ranking of the three hosts' oppositions (including their strongest possible placeholders):

 

USA = 88

 

Mexico = 104

 

Canada = 80

 

USA's group is really up in the air, tbh. Any of the 4 could move on. Mexico should move on with SK and, if they qualify, Denmark fighting for second. But could be any of the three. Canada got lucky with Qatar, not denying that, but it'll be tough against Switzerland and obviously Italy if they move on. We might have a shot against any of the others, though.

With 48 teams, it's much more diluted now. So when you look at some of the groups, it looks easy for several teams. Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand. Group E, Germany, Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Curacao.

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
