We've never seen anything like this, a host country being at war with a participant.
And you can imagine in other countries, the example of Indonesia hosted a sort of under-20s tournament a while ago and said, we're not going to let the Israelis in.
And then FIFA just said, yes, you are.
And then they had to.
But FIFA does not have that power over the United States of America, which is one thing I think is completely new about this.
Or locals.
So Los Angeles, where two of the games are, has a massive Iranian community.
Probably most of them would end up with those, but Iranian fans.
But they're terrified of these protests.
And one thing interesting is 30 years ago, you could just not put those on TV.
But now everyone's got a smartphone.
And so if there are protests, it will make its way into the world.
I haven't sold any tickets.
It's cheaper to get an Uber if you're in Manhattan and you want to go there.
They haven't sold any tickets for that train.
exactly I was in New York a week or two ago and had friends there who kind of want to go to the World Cup but aren't going to spend and it's just hold your nerve if anyone's watching this living in a host city just wait until the day before and you can't guarantee it but you might be able to get a pretty good value ticket because that's the way supply and demand works they don't want empty stadiums so probably just a few days before it might be quite affordable
I mean, I do think it will become a bit like that.
And I think the World Cup is fundamentally a TV phenomenon for 99 percent of people of the world who enjoy it and kind of always has been.
Empty seats in the stadium, people will notice that.
And I actually think with social media, these things are probably more pertinent than they were 10 years ago.
