The 2018 football World Cup is less than a week away. From the 14th of June to the 15th of July, 32 FIFA member teams will battle to be crowned the undisputed champions of football worldwide. That might seem like a silly statement given Real Madrid’s run in 2018, but The World Cup is about, you know, the world.

The excitement is reaching fever pitch, which is ironic considering the opening match is between host Russia, which places 70th in FIFA’s rankings, and Saudi Arabia, which is 67th. Not quite the crackerjack of an opening match one hopes from a World Cup. Let’s face it, you’ll be watching it only because it’s the tournament opener.
