          Yes. Also, field will be 48 teams not 32 by then, so I’d hope we would have anyway.

            So Canada will get automatic qualification as well.

              So, this is Mexico, Canada, and the USA hosting. I don't know who gets the automatic qualification.

              Do all three get in automatically? That seems like a lot.

                No, they don't. FIFA must determine separately which one, two, or three of these countries gets automatic qualification.

                  Is that a fact? I haven’t seen that. The field will be expanded by 16 additional teams.

                    Actually CONCACAF decides. CONCACAF has been supportive of the bid

                    Nothing has been announced but it's being speculated that all three countries will get automatic qualification

                      Yes, that is all fact. There are 16 additional teams. And, it is a fact that one of the three countries, USA, Mexico, and Canada, will get automatic qualification, it is up to FIFA which one, but, also, FIFA can (and probably will) decide to give automatic qualification to two or all three. It's FIFA's discretion.

                        Is it Concacaf and not the larger, FIFA, mothership that decides? Maybe. Anyway, it's not decided yet, there's no vote, it just gets decided by deciders.

                          Yes that's what's been reported by soccer journalists, Concacaf gets to decide

                          It's a moot point with the bump up to 48 teams

                            Interesting to see who voted for the United bid
