World Cup 2026: Superstars on stage in the US

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is a spectacle that cannot be missed. This tournament combines iconic names and new discoveries with the unique atmosphere of a competition that takes place every four years. This year, despite the expansion of the format to 48 teams, there is no shortage of emotions, thanks to the football stars who attract the attention of fans around the world. Lionel Messi, although almost 39 years old, still impresses with his finesse on the pitch, scoring goals that resemble moves known from computer games. Kylian Mbappe, with his powerful shot, and Erling Haaland, like a rushing bulldozer, also provide unforgettable impressions. Messi could have scored more hat-tricks if his penalty kicks hadn't let him down. American fans spare no expense to see such stars live. The dynamic performances of the players are a response to the high interest and expectations of the fans. Let's look at Cristiano Ronaldo, whose presence also arouses emotions.  Harry Kane from England and Vinicius Junior from Brazil have so far scored two goals each, and Spanish talent Lamine Yamal, despite an initial injury, has already opened his scoring account. Mohamed Salah, playing in his first World Cup since 2018 with Egypt, also scored in the match against New Zealand. The atmosphere in the USA, Mexico and Canada is full of joy, and the hosts - despite organizational difficulties - are maintaining the wave of sports successes. Each of these countries remains undefeated after two matches, which increases the enthusiasm of fans even more. We cannot forget about the lesser-known heroes of this tournament, such as the 40-year-old goalkeeper from the Cape Verde Islands, Vozinha, or Eloy Room from Curacao, who equaled the record for the number of interventions in one match. These types of stories add charm and diversity to the World Cup. Only 13 days have passed since the start of this 39-day tournament, and emotions are still growing. There are still many extraordinary moments waiting for us that will remain in the memory of fans around the world for a long time. --- ## Related Articles 1.
