USA vs. Mexico vs. Canada (Whose World Cup Disappointed the Most?)

The United States, Mexico and Canada all hosted the 2026 FIFA World Cup—and all three were eliminated in the Round of 16. But their exits did not feel the same. Canada lost 3–0 to Morocco after reaching what may have been the ceiling for this team. Mexico fell 3–2 to England in one of the best matches of the tournament, leaving the World Cup with pride despite another early knockout exit. The USMNT, meanwhile, made an entire country believe something historic was possible—then collapsed 4–1 against Belgium when the pressure was highest.
