How much will US President Donald Trump make the World Cup about him? Will the US-Iran war affect the tournament? And why are tickets so expensive?
Newscast, Americast and Football Daily got together for three special episodes on what could be the most political World Cup ever.
In this episode we look at why the US, Canada, and Mexico were picked as hosts, and who’s benefiting from the Trump-Infantino bromance.
We tell you everything you need to know about what’s going on off the pitch.
Anthony Zurcher and Marianna Spring join from Americast, and 5 Live football commentary legend John Murray is on from Football Daily.
