Yesterday evening, in the first match of the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar,The USA lost 1-3 to the Netherlands and missed the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
What’s even more embarrassing is that after the elimination of the United States, just two weeks before the start of the World Cup, all three hosts of the next World Cup were eliminated: previously, Canada and Mexico had already been eliminated in the group The 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
This can’t help but make fans worried about the hosts’ prospects at the next World Cup. After all, in this World Cup, Qatar not only broke the law of “unbeaten in the first match of the host country” for the 21st consecutive World Cup, but also a winless host.
The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico is the 23rd FIFA World Cup.It is jointly organized by Canada, Mexico and the United States. But in this World Cup none of these three teams advanced to the quarterfinals.
Among them, in the round of 16, the US team was overwhelmed by the experienced Dutch team, and finally stopped the World Cup in tears with a score of 1-3, while the Canadian team was even more embarrassing.
As for the Mexican team, they scored a draw, a loss and a win, even if they didn’t qualify for the group stage, considering that the opponents are strong teams like Argentina and Poland, the result is still expected.
However, even so, the USA team managed to appear in the top 16, also setting a record in this World Cup. It is the first time that the top 16 teams have brought together teams from six continents, the first time in the history of the World Cup.
