## Resource

The World Cup is the biggest annual sporting event in the world. And the first game is tomorrow . This year’s competition is being hosted by three countries for the first time: the US, Canada, and Mexico. Already, fans of Argentina , Cote d’Ivoire , and other countries have flooded social media with their journeys to watch their favorite teams play. But with the World Cup, as with most things, comes… a lot of politics. We spoke with Bill Connelly to find out how politics is impacting the event. He’s a staff writer for ESPN covering soccer and college football. And in headlines, Trump continues to threaten Iran , inflation hits its highest in three years , and Democrats “ nominate the guy with the nazi tattoo ” in the Maine Democratic primary for U.S. Senate .
