So you could say $3 in every 10 in the resale site goes to FIFA.

It's hugely...

It's hugely unfair, and fans around the world are complaining.

This will be the most expensive World Cup ever.

This is the second one that's been held in the United States.

1994 was the last time.

That was only the United States then.

What FIFA says, and I'm sure you'll be amused by this, that they're a non-profit organization.

And everything that they earn, all their profit goes back into the members.

They have the best part of 200 member nations, and they have six confederations, and the money goes to them.

So here in Australia, for example, we would get maybe a slice of that, even if Australia wasn't paying.

Interestingly, as you may know, Australia was once part of the small Oceania Football Confederation with basically Aotearoa, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.

But it decided in 2006 that it was too small a pond.

So for footballing purposes, Australia is part of Asia.

It joined the Asian Football Confederation.

So there's more money washing around there, more competitive matches and so on.

And more money will go to the Asian Football Confederation from FIFA than Oceania.

But of course, there are also many more teams competing for those funds.

Oh, without question.

I mean, he claims credit for the United States getting the World Cup in the first place during his first presidency.
