The 3-year journey that was the 2022 World Cup was full of magical moments of magic, but this doozy from the Uganda vs Mali qualifier in the second round of African qualifying back in September 2021, when some guy decided to stand directly in front of the main camera, blocking the view for over two whole minutes as the match was being broadcast on live TV , even with all the greatness that went down at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, will always and forever be THE moment of the 2022 FIFA World Cup
With the first ever summer World Cup now in the books, the 2026 FIFA World Cup in USA, Canada and Mexico is approaching like a steam train at St Petersburg’s Moskovsky Railway Station about to run down and flatten Anna Karenina . And wow, it promises to be a real doozy.
World Cup history is a tale resplendent with stories of triumph against the odds, childhood dreams coming true and unsung heroes becoming legends. As well as dumb idiot losers, wanker fuck ups and teams that are just total bullshit.
But how shall ye learn about these legends, losers and teams that are just total bullshit? Well look no further my wayward friend, as here I profile all 211 FIFA nations about to embark on the 2026 World Cup journey .
