2026 World Cup Will Be Hosted by United States, Mexico & Canada

With the World Cup about to start in less than 24 hours, some big news has hit America even as our own national team will not be competing in this year’s global event. Fast forward eight years, and for the first time in FIFA history, three nations (United States, Canada and Mexico) will be the host of the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

The vote by 200 national soccer federations for FIFA’s annual Congress came earlier today in Russia, as North America defeated Morocco for the bid.

During the tournament in 2026, the field will expand to 48 teams instead of the usual 32.

60 of the 80 games will be played in the U.S., including everything from the quarterfinals forward. Canada and Mexico will host 10 games each, with the final to be hosted at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

America has not hosted a World Cup since 1994. The bid today should give the United States a big incentive to step their game up for the future and make sure the national team competes in the next World Cup and beyond. This year, the team failed to make the cut for the tournament, which significantly stalled the development of the young talent currently on the squad.

‘NBA Live 19’ Introduces New Dribble Crossover Combos

With EA Sports successfully rolling out NBA Live 18, the west coast team is readying their next basketball simulation title. Last week, EA presented LIVE 19 to the public, which featured drastic graphical overhauls for in-game fluidity. Luckily, gameplay is also getting several tune-ups this year, including a new dribbling system for deadly crossover. Through compiled media footage below, the game introduces a variety of double crossover and between the leg crossovers. However, those moves will be limited to just players like Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford and maybe at times, Steph Curry for certain moves. Outside of those four, if you try with any other point-guard around the league, they’ll likely lose the rock and possibly even turn it over. Take a look at the clips below and let us know in the comments what you think.
