2026 FIFA World Cup Final 8 Matches (Quarterfinals-Semifinals-Consolation-Championship Games)

20 of the 30 clubs had players. I forgot what the argument was now, lol!

 

Colorado Springs Switchbacks (2) had more players at the World Cup than Colorado Rapids (1)

I did miscount before:

Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, LAFC, Minnesota, New York City, Toronto, Orlando and Vancouver each had 3 current players at the World Cup.

Columbus, Philly and San Diego each had 2.

Charlotte, Austin, Colorado, Cincinnati, Nashville, New England, Portland and Seattle had 1 each.

The Red Bull New York New Jersey Metrostars suck!

Who would have thought that Minnesota would have more players at the World Cup than any of Anderlecht, Red Bull Salzburg, Rayo Vallecano and Panathinaikos?

 

RSL has JuanMa Sanabria who plays for Uruguay.

Luna should have been there too.

 

The first one is on the FBRef database.

The second one is on Poch.

 

Of course, Obed Vargas would have counted for Seattle if this were last year. Regardless, he was the first Alaskan to be in the World Cup.
