⚡ Quick Verdict
This page uses USA and Mexico as the main visual debate, but the broader host-nation conversation includes Canada too: three hosts, three very different red-or-blue identities, and no single shared template. USA bring the sleek navy, Mexico deliver the classic green, and Canada sit just behind them with the purest red-flag statement of the trio.
USA and Mexico already make this a natural comparison, while Canada’s presence in the intro turns it into a full host-nation ranking discussion rather than a simple head-to-head.
