They did the draw, im sure it is fixed still, favoritism, the final should be in Canada, european world cup is what it really is....

WASHINGTON — The nation's capital hosted the draw for the 2026 World Cup on Friday, determining the groups, matchups and venues for next summer's tournament in North America.

The United States men's national team has already been placed in Group D as a host and learned its three opponents in the draw, a high-profile affair taking place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump is in attendance and was handed the inaugural "FIFA Peace Prize," an award that was announced weeks after the president was not named the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

This edition of the draw featured some new wrinkles as the field expands from 32 to 48 for the first time, with 12 groups and separate pathways for the world's four highest-ranked teams.
