Road to the 2026 World Cup Thread ( Discussion, Analysis, Schedule etc)

[Keano]

!??
I’m not the most tech savvy
But perhaps check to see if you have any pop-up blockers or stuff like that and pause them on the FIFA website see what happens.!?
Good luck

By the way, how is Argentina?
Nightlife Hoochie mamas!? Things to see or do?
I heard they’re a bit racist towards us brownies?
Me and my friends are thinking about taking this years boys trip out to either Argentina or Colombia..!?

I am in Buenos Aires and tomorrow flying to Bariloche, Patagonia. My second time in Buenos Aires, both a month-long visits. Last year I was here in November and fell in love with it. The city never dies, I stayed in Palermo and Recoleta and all residential streets blocks are filled with Cafes/restaurants and literally full Breakst/Lunch/ dinner till late at night. This year it's more expensive than later, literally everything I buy costs me more than what it costs in US and Canada. Certain things are relatively cheap though, like AirBnB and Uber, etc. Girls are off the hook!

The Argentines I know here say that there is alot of petty crime. Is that true?

Also what do they think of Iranians?

[IRAN_TILL_I_DIE]

Apparently Iran playing Tanzania in Dubai on 14th October (4 days after Russo game)

Idk if ppl here been listening to the new or not ;

but UN meeting been going , journalists asked Araghchi, Iranian foreign minister, about the WC2026 and if USA will give TM visas to play in the USA ; he said some very surprising stuff

He said … “ Iran is going to play it group games in Mexico so we don’t have to worry about visas for the 1st round , hopefully if we make it to the 2nd round then we probably play in the USA , only if we make it to the 2nd round, then we will work on getting the visas”

idk why he would say that , if you ask me this shows that FIFa draw is not fair and random like they let you believe it to be

goes to show the 2 times Iran the USA are grouped together probably fifa did that on purpose to make the games more exciting….

Idk if it is a good thing or not if we groups we Mexico , they obviously a better team than us , and we probably lose that game, but if fida plan is to give Mexico and the USA easy groups maybe it will work in our advantage, idk !!

anyone else heard anything,, maybe why Mexico wants to play a friendly games with US now …

The reason he said that is because FIFA general assembly is holding a session to debate whether to place Iran in spot A2 due to the tensions between countries. Everyone else is *random* (who knows). But this has been being discussed by FIFA for a few months now

Thanks for clarifying, I hope honestly we get placed in a group that avoids USA, Mexico and Canada, and also England! Some random group like

Argentina
Serbia
Iran
New Zealand

Looks like GN and 7 other IFF officials got denied US visa for the draw

It's fake news, but as much as most of us dislike GN and his assistants, they should be given visas.

Its wild that for four of the US cities hosting I would know which kebabi to camp at. In the event Iran does play in the US I would run into GN eventually

I am not sure if it is fake though. Lets see.

The closest thing I’ve seen in terms of actual reporting says they were asked to provide more info and that things may change in 2 weeks.

GN is also a big fan of McDonald’s.

But seriously, does Guadalajara have any Iranian restaurants ?
