Reply to comment by postmawho in 2026 World Cup Will Have Four-Team Groups and 24 More Games by newzee1

I should explain further. In the years since El Salvador's civil war started, a lot of it's able-bodied young men fled the country for their own safety.

Fewer young men in the country means that there's a smaller talent pool to field a team from. As such, the quality of El Salvador's teams have declined over the past 40 years.

As far as sounding like an AI robot, I guess I write at a level that is both generic enough and good enough for a bot trying to be a good writer.

Fair enough. I believe you're real (can't be too careful. Idk where El Salvador is with AI tech).

I'm sorry to hear that. I always like seeing El Salvador in the World Cup and I hope they can prosper from this.

They've been in it twice. Once in 1970 and again in 1986. They've been close a number of times, but it usually has come down to winning one more game in their conference and it's usually been against Mexico - which is to say that they get trounced before they make it to the Cup.
