"10 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT THE 2026 WORLD CUP"

The 2026 World Cup has been full of surprises — and I'm not just talking about the results.

[Haron @haronbrown_]

Why? One reason might be the ball. Players say it's faster and harder for goalkeepers to read . Austria's coach called it "as fast as a cannon ball" .

2026 WORLD CUP IS MISSING GIANTS

[Haron @haronbrown_]

Italy, CHILE, NIGERIA, SWEDEN ALL MISSING IN THE 2026 WORLD CUP

Not everyone made it to 2026. 🚨
While debutants celebrate, some of the biggest names in football are WATCHING FROM HOME.
Here's who failed to qualify and why it's absolutely wild. 🧵👇

🇮🇹 ITALY. Again.
Back-to-back missed World Cups. The Euro 2020 champions didn't even make it out of their UEFA playoff group .
Lost to Bosnia in the playoff final. Yes, BOSNIA.
Four-time World Cup winners. Watching from home. AGAIN.

🇳🇬 NIGERIA. Gone.
Africa's most talented squad? Didn't even win their CAF group.
Finished behind South Africa and lost in the CAF playoff tournament .
No Osimhen. No Lookman. No World Cup.
The Super Eagles are GROUNDED. 🦅❌

🇨🇱 CHILE. The golden generation's final nail.
No Sanchez. No Vidal. No magic left.
Finished DEAD LAST in CONMEBOL qualifying .
Two Copa America titles just a decade ago. Now? Nowhere near the World Cup.

🇸🇪 SWEDEN. Survived by a THREAD.
They finished WINLESS and BOTTOM of their UEFA group .
But the Nations League safety net gave them a playoff lifeline.
They STORMED through the playoffs and qualified .
So... they actually MADE it. Barely. But they're in. ✅

🇬🇷 GREECE. The 2004 miracle feels forever ago.
Finished behind Netherlands AND Austria.
No attack. No identity. No World Cup since 2014.
A once-proud football nation is officially in crisis.

And ONE that BARELY survived:
🇸🇪 Sweden (escaped through playoffs)

Japan faces Sweden next. A draw or win sends them through.

And Ueda? He's looking like their most dangerous weapon.

Ayase Ueda — remember the name 🇯🇵

"AYASE UEDA — JAPAN'S UNEXPECTED STAR"

Ayase Ueda wasn't supposed to be Japan's star.

He wasn't the biggest name. He wasn't the most famous.

But two matches into the World Cup, he's become the player everyone is talking about.

Let me explain 🧵👇

His numbers this season:

Club: 25 goals in the Eredivisie
World Cup: 2 goals in 2 matches

Japan's coach praised the preparation: "The coaching staff made it clear what we needed to do."
