Now it's being played in America and I gotta say, having all these games at one stadium is gonna make for an epic experience! 6 whole games right there at Levi's Stadium... Imagine the noise, the energy, Messi taking to the field on June 16th 
that's the stuff dreams are made of, bro! And who knows, maybe the USMNT will surprise everyone and make it all the way to the semis... Wouldn't that be something?! 
so it's like cool that they're gonna have Messi play in Santa Clara maybe? but also I don't wanna jinx anything, 'cause if Argentina does end up playing here and they lose, it'll be a bummer for all the fans... anyway, Levi's Stadium is always a great venue for sports events and I'm sure it'll be lit for the World Cup! 
️ also, interesting that the USMNT could potentially make it to the Round of 32 at home in California... fingers crossed for them too 
. Five group stage games and one Round of 32 match will definitely create some thrilling matchups. The unknowns are always the best part of the World Cup, so fingers crossed for some surprises! Maybe we'll even see some exciting comebacks or upsets 
! Who doesn't love the idea of Messi showing off his skills in the States? 
But seriously, can you imagine watching a World Cup game at Levi's with all those seats and screens? It'll be like being part of the stadium itself 
] 
Can't wait to find out!

. I've been following Messi's career for ages, always wanted to see him live at Levi's Stadium, fingers crossed! 
. but why not kansas city then? r they trying to pack more people in santa clara or wut? 
the usmnt is gonna have some good chances, hopefully they can make a run deep into the tournament. i still remember when the world cup used to be on tv every 4 years now its more like every 2 years 
. I mean, I'm stoked that Messi might show up, but can't we just get a decent, simple schedule without all this hype? And what's with all the uncertainty about whether the Argentina match will be at Levi's or not? It's like they're trying to make our lives harder than it needs to be 
. And don't even get me started on how crowded the forum is going to be when everyone starts speculating and panicking 
...
. Anyway, can't wait to see what the 2026 FIFA World Cup has in store for us! 
Ugh, I'm already stressed about the World Cup... did you know that a heatwave is predicted for June in California? It's gonna make the games super uncomfortable. And on top of that, have you seen the prices of tickets for these matches?! 
That sounds like an interesting matchup too.
. The energy at Levi's Stadium is always electric, so I'm sure it'll be a wild ride for whoever makes it out.
Still can't believe Messi might show up! 
hopefully they have some fun surprises at levi's stadium this year, it'll be crazy to see all those players in one place 
! Hosting six games at Levi's Stadium is gonna be lit 
! Can you imagine watching Messi on the pitch? 
Fingers crossed he'll play against Argentina or whoever the Euro Playoff-Winner C is 
.
. But it's also crazy how many teams will be battling for spots at this stage of the tournament - Group J is looking fierce with Paraguay and that Euro Playoff-Winner C 
. Can't wait to see which team emerges victorious! The fact that USMNT could get a home match on July 1 is pretty sweet too, should be awesome to see them in action 
I'm hoping they announce more details about the schedule soon so we can plan our viewing parties better. Maybe we can even get a stadium-wide Messi appreciation session 
I'm so stoked about it!! I know we don't have the full schedule yet but I'm already imagining the energy in that stadium on June 16! It's gonna be lit
