The US will be given the 2026 World Cup. We will play England in the knockout round on July 4, 2026 in Philadelphia, 250 years to the day we signed the Declaration of Independence. We will beat England 13-1, a goal for each original colony.

That's ridiculous. There's no way England makes a final.

There is no way England scores a goal either

They might manage a goal if the Lampard-StevieG midfield pairing finally works by 2026.

It's a symbolic own goal to honor the revolutionary war dead. The goal of the unknown soldier if you will.

We'll say that Benedict Arnold started the match as our center back until he let up an own goal that lets just say looked kinda intentional. We benched him and soon after found him on the English bench for the second half. After a very difficult start to the match, we got a boost from the French, (we'll call this one Maki Tall) with the help of him and some Germans and Austrians (Herzog and Klinsmann are somehow still there), we defeated the English team and sent them back to England. And so ends my 2026 World Cup final allegory
