It's normal for the head of state of the host country to attend the final. The heads of Mexico and Canada should be there too, as they are joint hosts - as long as they're allowed in by immigration, that is...
8 of the finals have featured the host nation:
Uruguay, Italy, England, Germany, Argentina and France won,
Sweden and Brazil were runners-up.

USA 2 - Australia nil

I'm sorry sir you seem to be mistaken, Fox news is reporting that the US is hosting the event solo and that Trump has already won the world cup personally due to his achieving the unconditional surrender of Iran. There may be some soccer happening in Mexico but it's really just illegal immigrants that were deported and are having a friendly match while they wait for the coyote to help them navigate the impenetrable wall. With Canada being the 51st state now, any games up there are officially American as well.

idk about all these previous host countries you've mentioned. They don't seem like real countries to me, just mainstream media lies... I mean common, Uruguay? You are telling me that is a real country? I'm pretty sure it's just a giant hole where you dump shit.

Of course, what's really bizarre about the Trump Cup is the scheduling. Who on earth wants to play, or indeed watch, football at 5am?

More seriously - nice to see some of the smaller nations justifying their inclusion by taking points off the big boys. There have been a couple of wallopings (Germany/Curacao, Canada/Qatar) but at least as many unexpected draws (Spain/Cape Verde, Uruguay/Cape Verde, Portugal/DR Congo, Ecuador/Curacao).

Yes, that aspect of upsets and the Unexpected keeps Sports interesting for many to watch and enjoy.

Goooo...! U----S----A.....!

Canada (1 win and 1 draw, of of NOW) and Mexico (2 wins, 2-0-0, as has the USA) have done well, too. What about England (1-0-0), and Scotland (1-0-1; W-D-L))? I know that New Zealand (0-1-1) lost its most recent games, to Egypt.

Finally, Egypt claimed their first-ever World Cup victory by coming from behind to beat New Zealand 3-1.

I don't really care about soccer, but I heard on the radio today that some retard put $1 million on Spain over Cape Verde, and lost the whole thing. That made me feel good! Teaches a lesson about gambling. A fool and his money are soon parted!

What was highly unusual was to see a game (involving France) paused due to threat of lightning. It makes sense in golf, and obviously other sports aren't playable in the rain, but I don't think I've ever seen a game halted over here due to that. We just carry on. I'd have thought that the stadia would have suitable lightning protection and that no-one would be in any danger.

I can't imagine the odds would have been that great.

Turkey defeated the USMNT 3-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The match concluded with Turkey scoring a last-minute goal, ending the United States men's national team's hopes for an unbeaten group stage

Match Highlights

The game was competitive, with the USMNT initially leveling the score at 2-2 in the second half

Kaan Ayhan was pivotal, scoring the decisive goal for Turkey

Implications

This loss means the USMNT will advance to the round of 32, but with a blemish on their record

from AI Summary

[Apatheist]

The US has Bosnia in the next round. The group stage concludes on Saturday (or Sunday, depending where you are), then we're in to the last 32.

Mexico 2 to 0 halftime

That would be Morocco then.
The most important thing though - Germany are out! ON PENALTIES!! This never happens.

England would like a word about Mexico's next game...

Home teams invariably do well, as I posted previously. Home advantage, particularly at altitude such as in Mexico, can be huge and make the difference. England will do very well to get through that game, considering they haven't had a chance to acclimatise by playing their group games there.

Mexico

Some Mexico fans want to face Portugal based on the Simpsons.

Spoiler

The viral Mexico vs. Portugal theory originates from the 1997 episode "The Cartridge Family" (Season 9), where a TV ad promotes a fictional match to determine "which nation is the greatest on Earth".

USA wins 2 — 0, over Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite being a man down one man for most of the second half.

Was the Red Card against Balogun warranted?
"around halfway through the second half, star forward Folarin Balogun picked up a red card after coming down on an opponent's heel."

Overall the refs are being very easy. The players are getting bruised up.
