Show Notes

With the 2026 World Cup just 100 days away, organizers face significant challenges, including US-Iran tensions and cartel violence in Mexico. The tournament, featuring 48 teams across the US, Mexico, and Canada, is at risk due to Irans potential withdrawal following US strikes. In the US, fan festivals are shrinking due to budget cuts and a partial government shutdown. Meanwhile, FIFAs high ticket prices have drawn criticism, with some seats costing up to $8,680. Mexico assures safety for its four group games in Guadalajara, despite recent cartel clashes.
