Summary
We’ve got together with Americast and Football Daily for three special episodes on what could be the most political World Cup ever. How much will Donald Trump make it about him? Will the US-Iran war affect the tournament? And why are tickets so expensive? We tell you everything you need to know about what’s going on off the pitch. Anthony Zurcher and Marianna Spring join from Americast, and 5 Live football commentary legend John Murray is on from Football Daily. In this episode we look at why tickets are so expensive, who’s making money from them, and whether the hosts are actually ready.
