Thank you. Welcome to the Big Thing on Total Soccer Show, the weekly show where we dive into one of soccer's meatiest topics.

This week, we turn our attention to the World Cup.

No, not the one hosted in North America in 26, but the one that will take place in 2030 in Spain and Portugal and Morocco and Uruguay and Argentina and Paraguay.

So in this way, maybe they have sort of mended some fences. Maybe Gianni Antointo is, maybe Nobel Peace Prize, I think, is what we've landed upon. He deserves one.

I don't even go that. He's going to make his own one. That's not a funny joke. I don't want this anymore. All right, Graham, can you just give us the top line on what's going on here? 100th anniversary of the World Cup here, 1930, the first one. How is it going to work? There's lots of moving parts here.
