Herculez Gomez shares his thoughts on how the United States would factor into a three-nation World Cup bid.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada announced their intention to submit a joint bid to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Monday.

The bid, announced atop the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, aims to be the first World Cup to have three host countries. If successful, it would mark just the second time that the tournament has had multiple hosts after the 2002 World Cup was co-hosted by Japan and South Korea.
