World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

International football could be making a comeback imv.

With the robotic sanitation of the PL this season, where everything is so thoroughly thought out and highly programmed, it's nice to see some 'traditional' football.

Teams going for it (or even just going forward)... individuals playing off the cuff, attacking intent.

The standard of football has lifted though, as even teams that would be considered minnows can play a bit.

Maybe the Prem players find hooking up with their national teams a form of relief. Just a whole load more fun?

And from our perspective, considering what we have had to watch the last two seasons....I've almost forgot football can be like this.
I agree. Watching a PL game as a neutral bores me to tears. Whereas most games so far have had some excitement and more chances..

Exception being Czech Republic who seemed a play a carbon copy of the Frankball horse shoe. Made me laugh though.
 
So, according to this, the ball is creating more drag and is SLOWER than previous world cup balls.
there is also a sensor in the world cup match ball - which demonstrated in use in detecting a touch so that netherlands goal would not be ruled offside - surely the performance of a ball with and without the sensor (that charges wirelessly) will behave differently.
 
Check out the attacking options France have.. Crazy that Dembele is the oldest one there!
