Daniel, you want to add something there?
10:41
Yeah, absolutely.
10:42
I think I would say we are moving towards a multipolar world of football.
10:50
And maybe the difference to international politics is that the great powers in politics are not necessarily the great powers of football, as for example, the example of China shows.
11:02
But the similarity is that, so there's not only, I mean, when it comes to World Cup champions, as Tamir mentioned, yes, but when we look at hosting and participation, it has become much more inclusive.
11:16
So every World Cup, was either hosted by Europe or South America with a notable exception of Mexico until 1994.
11:25
And then we got a much more diverse hosting.
13:31
So what about the three countries that are hosting the World Cup? Is football important there? Is it, what is the relations of sort of the politics and football? I know it's a very broad question, but what can you tell us there? What should we expect from those countries and what should people keep an eye on from the point of view of Mexico, Canada and the US?
