World Cup: The U.S. gets 2026, Russia gets 2018

The World Cup starts Thursday in Russia. But members of FIFA, the governing body that controls the World Cup, are already there. This morning, they voted the U.S., Mexico, and Canada would host the 2026 World Cup. It was back in 2010 that Russia beat England for this year’s World Cup. And Qatar beat the U.S. for 2022, which caused an uproar in the world soccer community.
