## Resource

FIFA council member Randy Harris raves about the recent World Cup, calling it “99 percent well organized” and hailing the historic 48-team format as a success that gave more nations a global stage. He celebrates Spain’s well-earned second title while acknowledging the disappointment that none of the host nations reached the semifinals—praising Mexico’s performance but noting Canada and the U.S. weren’t quite ready. Still, Harris highlights CONCACAF’s pride in multiple regional qualifiers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
