#binancepiceAndWin You might not believe it— the top star of the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico isn’t Messi, and it isn’t Ronaldo. It’s a country that didn’t even participate: China.
That’s right— the Chinese national team is once again left out of the World Cup “watching tea while others play,” yet football fans around the world are going crazy, chanting: “Please, China, host one!”
On overseas social platforms, things have totally gone off the rails. The topic “Let China host the World Cup” has climbed to the trending lists in a straight line. Fans from different countries are all urging for updates online, turning “someone else’s World Cup” into a full-scale “global crowdfunding for China to host” event.
The most heartbreaking contrast is this: China can’t qualify for the World Cup, but China is getting singled out by the world to host it.
This plot is so outrageous even writers wouldn’t dare to write it.
There are just too many issues with this World Cup.
Netizens have started doing “reverse comparisons.”
This global outcry isn’t mindless hype— there are simply too many “disaster moments” with the US–Canada–Mexico World Cup.
As netizens put it perfectly: “The biggest scale in history, with the worst hosting experience.”
Tickets once soared to $10,990, traffic was so bad it makes you question life itself, and in Mexico, many infrastructure projects weren’t finished even as the tournament began. Even more absurd is the visa chaos— it’s bad enough that ordinary spectators get stuck, but even participating teams and referees were detained and questioned.
Uruguay’s coach Bielsa outright blasted it, saying: “Everyone is complaining about supporting facilities, event organization, training venues, and airport arrangements. This edition will become the worst hosting experience in history.”
Watching matches across cities is like going to war; the surrounding amenities at the stadiums are subpar, and public convenience services are basically nonexistent… All kinds of problems kept detonating one after another.
