One of the most well-known football experts in England and former footballer Gary Lineker spoke about the upcoming World Cup.

The Englishman noted one of the hosts, the USA, which is currently at war with Iran – another country that will also be part of the football celebration.

In an interview with Inews, G. Lineker said: "This is one of the most unique tournaments, as I do not recall a championship taking place in a country that is at war with a country that is also competing in the tournament. This is indeed a bit concerning, and Trump is unpredictable.

Interesting are the ticket prices – will it be too expensive for people?

Still, over the years in football tournaments, including experiences in Russia and Qatar, I have realized that once football begins, everyone focuses solely on football,” emphasized the host of football shows.
