00:07We start by crunching some numbers as the 2026 World Cup has already set a new attendance
00:13record with over 3.6 million fans surpassing the previous record from the 1994 tournament.
00:20The attendance record was shattered during Thursday's matches in New York and Philadelphia,
00:24with the record being announced by FIFA during the match between Ecuador and Germany.
00:28This year's tournament also set a new daily attendance record on Thursday with 384,206
00:34fans across all matches, as it's on pace to set the highest stadium occupancy in World
00:39Cup history at 99.7%.
00:43And it's likely we could see the United States as World Cup hosts again in 12 years' time,
00:47as the White House World Cup Task Force's chief executive, Andrew Giuliani, has not ruled out
00:53a bid for the 2038 tournament.
00:55Giuliani said the U.S. has the necessary credentials to stage a further expanded 64-team World Cup.
01:01While he said it was still too early to commit, he expressed confidence that the U.S. has all
01:06the requirements already.
01:07The word fan comes from the word fanatic, and some South Korean fans are proving to be fanatical,
01:12as if they are taking out their frustration not only against their players, but also their spouses.
01:17South Korean fans are still fuming over goalkeeper Kim Soon-joo's error against Mexico, and while they
01:24have directed their frustration at him, his wife hasn't been spared. The goalkeeper is married to
01:29actress Kim Jin-kirin, and fans have flooded her social media with negative comments, even under video
01:34reporting her recent childbirth.
01:36And FIFA has rejected calls from Iran and Egypt to ban rainbow flags at their World Cup match in
01:42Seattle later tonight.
01:43Both nations lobbied FIFA to prevent any association with local pride-themed celebrations linked to the
01:49fixture, including rainbow flags inside the stadium. But FIFA has said pride flags are permitted under
01:55its code of conduct, despite different rules in Qatar's 2022 tournament, where team captains who
02:00planned to wear the One Love armbands were threatened with yellow cards.
