Mark is an academic.

with a lot of ties to Colombia and Ecuador.

He knows Argentina and Uruguay very well.

So having those two voices, I think, has helped us tell the story.

And it's a story that I think needs to be told.

Very, very few people are aware of just the role that South America played in getting the World Cup up and running.

Were it not for South America, I don't think we would have had a World Cup until the mid-1950s.

The continent also has the country that's won it the most times.

And it has the current champions as well.

And it's just where it means more.

I think it's more, it's more, there's more of the country's identity invested in the World Cup.

So it's, Mundial is, one chapter, our book is one chapter about each World Cup.

So it's very easy to kind of dip in and read about any particular World Cup that you might have a special interest in.

But if you step back, there is an arc there.

And a lot of the arc is the story of Pele, I think.

I was thinking a lot about this recently with all of the Epstein file stuff.
