Jebbo for England!

Aren’t they jointly hosting it in 2026? Do they have to qualify?

It's not been confirmed by the FIFA Council if the hosts receive automatically qualifications yet.

If not why not!

Brilliant. Lived up to your forum name though!

Brilliant one word answer

He has dual nationality so you should have said Canadian/British then in one word

“QUALIFIES”

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Canada have a couple of decent young players currently, notably Alphonso Davies at Bayern Munich and Jonathan David at Lille.

David would have been my choice of striker in the summer in an ideal world.
I think Tomori at Chelsea is also Canadian, but has chosen to represent England.

Yes Tomori is Canadian and played for their U20s previously before deciding to represent England.

He had the choice of Canada, England or Nigeria but is now an England player after being capped against Kosovo on 17/11/19

There is still a possibility that he can switch to Canada or Nigeria under FIFA rules brought in last September.

Didn't know that, good to know!

I'll have a look at that, cheers

He puts the ball in the back of the net faster than you can say Jack Robinson

Not every time !

Canada have been my adopted nation for the last 12 years, I always keep an eye for their results or watch the highlights.

They have had a few decent players in the past but Davies and David look the real deal for Canada, unfortunately Jonathan David couldn't play in the March games. There is also Cyle Larin who plays in Turkey, he looks decent aswell.

Hopefully I will be able to see Canada in a world cup soon.

Well done for pointing out Larin as one to watch.
I saw him playing for Besiktas in a European game against Torshavn and he got a hat trick.
He's been all over and has had a decent scoring pedigree,and then he's picked up by Southampton and does well for them.
It ties in with the foreign players thing which has raised its head for us,he has been,at various stages of his career,well within our financial possibility but if we never have a radar out to identify players like him who have been all over Europe,we are losing out to one of our rival, Southampton in this case,how does he appear on their radar?
I'm pretty sure he'll have been known to them for a period of time before they made their move,but we aren't even at those races to identify them.

Larin goal scoring record is very good.
