The most expensive World Cup ever? (With Football Daily, part 3)

We’ve got together with Americast/Newscast and Football Daily for three special episodes on what could be the most political World Cup ever. How much will Donald Trump make it about him? Will the US-Iran war affect the tournament? And why are tickets so expensive? We tell you everything you need to know about what’s going on off the pitch. Adam Fleming joins from Newscast and 5 Live football commentary legend John Murray is on from Football Daily. In this episode we look at what the US-Iran war means for Iran’s team and what strict Visa laws mean for players and fans.
