The much-anticipated draw for the 2026 World Cup took place at the Kennedy Center in DC on Friday. Did Team USA end up with a favorable grouping? A total of 48 teams, drawn into 12 groups of four nations each, will compete in Canada, the US and Mexico for the World Cup soccer title next year, representing a significant expansion from 2022 which had only 32 teams. What role will the groupings play in positioning the various teams in the tournament? Managing Editor for USA TODAY’s Pro Soccer Wire Seth Vertelney joins The Excerpt to discuss all things World Cup. Plus, USA TODAY White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers walks us through the latest from the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup and the political backdrop to the games.
