And a new survey has found a growing number of Australians are wasting hundreds of dollars a year on unused subscriptions and memberships.

The Compare the Market survey found unused gym memberships were top of the list, costing some members more than $90 every month.

Disney+, Amazon Prime and Spotify were also in the top five unused subscriptions.

Now it's time to get into our deep dive on the major scandals rocking this year's FIFA World Cup.

Joining us is Professor of Cultural Research at the Institute of Culture and Study at Western Sydney University, David Rowe.

David, thanks so much for joining us.

Who would have ever thought there could be politics involved in sport?

You wrote a great piece in The Conversation talking about the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

We know there are literally hundreds of millions of fans right around the world.

Now, it's being hosted partially in the US.

Tell us about this new development today.

We understand that a Somali football ref just days out from the World Cup set to start has now been denied entry to the US.

The US authorities have said, quote, he was determined to be inadmissible because of vetting concerns.

So would that be not only political by President Trump but also strategic if you're allowing the Iranian players to come in but not their support crew or their coaches?

That's a huge disadvantage to a team competing, isn't it?

Tell us about the interesting relationship between the US President Donald Trump and the FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Interesting prize.

And also there's been a lot of criticism recently, David, about the fact that so many of these tickets have become so incredibly expensive to the World Cup that they're unaffordable for so many passionate fans.
