The story that this World Cup presents is in the most patriotic sense possible, as the national team of the United States could play the Round of 16 on July 4, 2026, the same day as the Independence Day of the United States. 

With this, the national team could celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence in the city of Philadelphia, the very place where the declaration was signed on July 4, 1776.

One of the many stories that the 2026 World Cup, with three host countries – the United States, Mexico, and Canada, could give us. The United States might make history once again in Philadelphia.
