This is the second episode of our three-part miniseries we're doing as a collab. Oh, I hate saying that word. I sound like I'm in a mandaland. Although I like the idea of collaborating. The actual thing is good. Because we're working with AmeriCast and the Football Daily to look at some of the issues around the World Cup. So not necessarily the actual football, but the things that we'll be talking in addition to the football. And with Donald Trump involved, there's obviously going to be some politics and some diplomacy happening there. And helping me out is somebody who...
Watches a lot more football than I do. Mariana. Yes, I'm here to chat football and America and social media. And we are very lucky to also be joined by Anthony, who presents AmeriCast with me, and also by John Murray, who presents Football Daily. And John, I wonder if, because in this episode we're going to be talking about the tensions between the US and Iran.
Onko muissa World Cupissa, joissa osa-arvoinen kansa on ollut... Tai ei vain osa-arvoinen kansa, vaan joissa erilaiset joukkueet ovat olleet vallassa yhdessä? Yhdysvalloissa ja Iranissa on historiaa. Tämä ei ole ensimmäistä kertaa, että he ovat olleet osallistuneet World Cupiin. He olivat olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet olleet.
Iranian hostage-taking crisis, you know, so they were still in the relatively recent memory. I can also remember the Euros when Denmark stepped in to replace Yugoslavia at the time of the civil war in the Balkans in 1992. There were also tensions between Argentina and the teams from the UK at the World Cup in 82 and still in 86.
After the Falklands War, and as well a very famous one was the match between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969, which helped along, it was the Hundred Days War between El Salvador and Honduras, and tensions were raised by a World Cup qualifier between the two of them, just when things were really reaching boiling point, and after that match they spilled over and they actually went to war together.
John, you are the least du set of the football commentary box. There is no higher praise. Well, we'll be putting all those skills to use in this latest episode, looking at some of the political issues and the international issues and the issues of war and peace around the 2026 World Cup. Newscast. Newscast from the BBC. It's going to be the world's largest sporting event ever hosted. But when the time is up,
They'll have to go home. FIFA is making 11 billion dollars off of this World Cup. If somebody buys a ticket for the final two million dollars, I would personally bring him a hot dog and a Coke. It is such a unifying event. It is also about winning. I may put on shorts, I look extremely good in shorts, and join the play.
