Power Ranking The 12 Teams From The Americas At The 2026 World Cup

Twelve teams will be at the World Cup from North and South America. I have the reigning champions as the best.

Argentina will be one of the teams to beat at this World Cup, with Lionel Messi returning to defend the trophy he led his country to back in the winter of 2022. There are other teams from Central America and South America, though, that could also be a spoiler at this tournament.

Here's how I rank all 12 teams from the Americas ahead of Mexico's World Cup opener on Thursday against South Africa.
