The 2026 World Cup expands to 48 teams

 

Tournament Setup & What to Know First

The 2026 World Cup expands to 48 teams. That means 12 groups (Groups A–L), each holding 4 teams.

The three host nations — Mexico national football team, Canada national football team and United States men’s national soccer team — were pre-assigned to different groups: Mexico

Cary‑Hiroyuki Tagawa — and what his passing means for film, TV and many of his fans

 

Beyond Shang Tsung — a vast, varied career

While many remember Tagawa for his villainous role Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat (1995) — a character he reprised across films, TV-series and video games — that was only one facet of his long acting journey.

His breakout came with The Last Emperor (1987), a film by Bernardo Bertolucci that won multiple Academy Awards. That role helped open doors to a wide range of genres — from historical dramas to action films.

Over nearly four decades, Tagawa appeared in dozens of notable films: from action and adventure to period dramas, including titles such as Licence to Kill, Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes, Memoirs of a Geisha, 47 Ronin and more.
