to say straight away, this isn't about the beer.

This was about the fact that FIFA has lost control of this World Cup.

So, Hey there, boys and girls, welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew Brand.

Hope you're well.

We are produced by Jack Connell, musical producers Sam Brent. I am Andrew Brand, his father. We're joining each other on Thanksgiving. And we are presented as always by

Draft Kings. Hope you're well. We got a special edition for you today. We have, I wanted to get into

the World Cup, a lot of issues about the World Cup. The business of the

World Cup, the issue with alcohol at the World Cup, is it allowed? Is it not allowed? Where is it allowed?

What was the deal? What was the deal before? What was the deal coming up? What was the deal when

they changed things? All those kind of things. Plus, an inside look at the U.S. team, their chances as we get into Black Friday in the

big game against England. I just thought we'd do a World Cup edition of the business of sports,

and I reached out to two people that I thought would be very interesting to talk about it.

Nancy Armour, who's over there covering it for USA Today, does a great work about this kind of stuff.

And Doug Greenberg from front office sports, who did a long column this weekend,

about the whole U.S. team experience over the past several years, but also leading up to this year.

So they will join us, and without further ado.

Let's get right to it then.

A discussion of the World Cup with Nancy Armour and without further ado. Let's get right to it then. A discussion of the World Cup

with Nancy Armour and Doug Greenberg. It's great to have you both. Nancy, I've been reading

your stuff forever, especially this week from Qatar. And just great to have your perspective from

being over there. And Doug Greenberg article this weekend about the U.S. team, about the

history of the U.S. team and the prospects going forward. So welcome to both to the podcast.
