There's been plenty of controversy about this particular event, from the participation of Iran to sky-high ticket prices.

My personal favorite was when the governing body, FIFA, gave Donald Trump a peace prize that it kind of created out of nothing.

Never given one before.

Gave him a peace prize.

Brands love the event because even if they're not official sponsors, often they partner individual teams.

So the likes of Coca-Cola, Nike, Adidas, McDonald's, Visa, all involved one way or another.

It will be a challenge.

There are thousands of tickets still unsold.

Soccer ranks about eighth in terms of fandom in the US, according to a recent survey.

So you have not just the major sports of football, as in American football, but

Baseball and basketball.

You've also got college sports there.

Tennis is more popular than soccer over there.

Good one for you, Michael, in your Wednesday nights.

Yeah, good.

The Australian team, first game, Sunday afternoon against Turkey in Vancouver.

Four tournament favourites, Michael.

Can I tell you who they are?

Try and take a guess.

Take a guess.
