I have a lot to learn about soccer, I'm happy to admit that. Happy to come back. That would be great. What is this World cup czar going to do for New York City business? The World cup is the largest sporting event in the world, and it's as if no one has been thinking or talking about it here in New York City government. It's coming next summer to this city. We're going to have billions of people watching. The World cup czar is going to ensure that this is a tournament that New Yorkers remember as well. (18:17–18:25)
