We know where the #FifaMensWorldCup #WorldCup will be hosted through to 2034, and now where the final will be held in 2026: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/04/new-jerseys-metlife-stadium-to-host-2026-world-cup-final-as-azteca-gets-opener

We do not know where the 2027 #FifaWomensWorldCup #WomensWorldCup will be held, with the announcement planned for May 2024. The bidding process started in 2023 (ie. the year of the last WWC).

Too bad the #WorldCupFinal has gone to #extratime. It allows for more of those bullshit #Qatar #propaganda commercials. It is only appropriate that it is being aired on #FOXTV and dildo #elonmusk is attending at the expense of the people who made #twitter a once great platform.
I want the #SuperLeague. #FIFA is nothing but a celebration of the #crooked. No wonder that twat Elon Musk has a seat at the game.

Really looking forward to this game!
But perhaps I should temper my high expectations? With both teams and certain players under so much pressure, instead of a classic, we are more likely to get a cagey underwhelming match.
