WORLD SOCCER TAKES THE STAGE — GOALS, GLAMOUR & A PEACE PRIZE!

Soccer — or shall we say Fußball — is about to take over the entire continent as the 2026 World Cup kicks off across stadiums filled with roaring fans from Vancouver to Guadalajara and coast-to-coast across the USA. It’s the world’s biggest game, starring the world’s most passionate supporters, and even disagreements over whether it’s “soccer” or “fútbol” won’t stop the cheering. All that matters is someone scores — soon!

Meanwhile, Washington, D.C. is polishing the red carpet for an unforgettable celebration at the Kennedy Center. Normally home to symphonies and standing ovations for Broadway stars, the iconic performance hall is about to welcome a new kind of drama — the kind that comes with bicycle kicks, penalty shots, and announcers shouting “GOOOAAAL!” loud enough to rattle chandeliers.

First and foremost, presenter Heidi Klum -she wore three outfits that evening: first the red and purple dress (M.), later all in black, and during the draw itself, she wore a gold dress inspired by the World Cup trophy.

But the headline sending ripples around the world? President Trump is taking center stage to receive a Global Peace Prize in recognition of the sport’s remarkable ability to unite billions of people — even if only for ninety glorious minutes at a time. The moment promises photo flashes, triumphant smiles, and perhaps one or two carefully rehearsed victory waves.

Trump simply hung the medal for his peace prize around his own neck.

Expect a scene where elegant gowns meet national jerseys, where classical musicians trade their tuxedos for team scarves, and where diplomats politely exchange high-fives while pretending they’re not nervously tracking their country’s group-stage standings.

• Each host nation brings its own magic to this massive sporting celebration:
• Canada offers crispy air, polite applause, and highly organized transit lines.
• Mexico brings the fiesta, fireworks, and a cornucopia of unforgettable flavors.
• The USA brings the stadiums, the screens, the nachos — and the confidence to dream of a championship finish on home turf.

With a peace prize presentation, a continent-wide party, and fans united in passion, joy, and occasional referee complaints, this will be a World Cup to remember: friendship, fun, football — all on the same team.

North America is ready. The world is watching.

Game on! ⚽🌎🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦
