Hey there, I tried to make a realistic draw for the 2026 world cup. All continents get the current qualifying spotsx1.5, hosts are the most likely ones (joint /CUM/), the teams with the highest elo rating are the ones advancing from every continent, Iran and Syria are replaced by UAE and China since the former two are probably not going to exist in 2026, pot 1 is top teams and hosts, pot 2 is europe+conmebol+concacaf, pot 3 is the lowest ranked euro team, afc, caf.
Honestly the expansion is shit, amazing amount of shit games in the group stages
Group A: USA, Ecuador, Morocco
Group B: Mexico, Turkey, Cameroon
Group C: Canada, Poland, Senegal
Group D: Uruguay, Ireland, Ivory Coast
Group E: Netherlands, Peru, Egypt
Group F: Colombia, Panama, Serbia
Group G: Argentina, Switzerland, Australia
Group H: Brazil, Croatia, Saudi Arabia
Group I: Spain, Iceland, Uzbekistan
Group J: Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, UAE
Group K: Germany, Slovakia, Burkina Faso
Group L: England, Honduras, South Korea
Group M: Belgium, Costa Rica, South Africa
Group N: France, Ukraine, Japan
Group O: Chile, Sweden, China
Group P: Portugal, Wales, Nigeria
Bloody hell. There are at most 1-2 watchable matches per group. It will be like Euro 2016, where everybody just parks the bus and the hooligan fights outside of the stadiums are more interesting than the games themselves.

>There are at most 1-2 watchable matches per group
Well, there are only 3 matches in each group
The elimination stage would start from 1/16 though
>>74876139
These were random draws though, you can make much worse
>Canada-Senegal
>Panama-Serbia
>Slovakia-Burkina Faso
So many comfy match-ups.
Canada still wont qualify even under new rules, replace us with trinidad and tobago or jamaica

I went by the elo rankings, you're just in the range of sneaking in
BTW you're most likely to be the joint host with the US and Mexico anyway, all the big news sites are hyping up that bid.
>canada top seed in a worldc up
Imagine if it actually happened
>>74876371
H O S T S
It is the most likely scenario
It'll probably be the only wc with this retarded system
>>74876483
>USA
then.
I just read that the top two teams and not just the top team in each group goes through. The first round is fucking meaningless
>Iran won't exist in 2026
What?
>>74876087
>>74876322
Who's the person you draws all these I wonder
