PREVIEW: Preparing for a chaotic World Cup


Listen Later

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will take place in Mexico, Canada and the United State of America, is set to have its draw tomorrow. The leaders of all three countries will be in attendance, as will The Village People.

Darren Smith and John Gennaro talk for a few minutes about what they expect from the event before welcoming on independent journalist Karim Zidan, who runs the exceptional Sports Politika website, to talk about the World Cup draw, the dichotomy between Trump's policies and his desire to make money off the World Cup, Trump's friendship with Gianni Infantino, and if the UFC would ever distance itself from the President.

After Karim leaves, Darren talks about how FIFA is supposed to be an apolitical organization and John wonders what's going on with World Cup ticket sales.
