So his answer for creating this incredible amount of cash has been just more football.

What that means for what we'll see on the pitch this summer, I'm not quite sure because players are definitely tired.

But he has delivered on the two things that he said he would do in 2016.

He's cleaned up FIFA.

The sort of the scandals and the awful stories of bribery and corruption are gone.

They feel like they belong to a previous era.

And he is giving more money to the federations.

So in a way, he's done what he said he would do.

Yeah, I was at the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C.

before Christmas and it really was an extraordinary moment.

And yeah, handing over the first FIFA Peace Prize to President Trump and then in the next breath saying that politics and soccer don't mix.

You can't equate the two.

So FIFA are very hot, for example, on what flags you can bring into a World Cup stadium.

So they're saying that because politics and soccer don't mix, you couldn't bring in an Iranian flag that reflected the old regime.

But at the same time, they can give a peace prize to the president of the United States.

It does feel like it's one rule for one person and one for another.

Yes.

Yeah, I think another factor as well is travel, transport to the games itself.
