John's World Cup video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B10QWgsAWzw

I often have an impulse to discount anything that is broadly popular as being obviously "lowest common denominator" kind of content. But in math, the lowest denominator is the ideal one...do you want everything we enjoy to be some kind of ridiculous non-reduced fraction!? That denominator is something that unifies us, and so I'm going to try to watch some World Cup this year. I don't know how on Earth I'm going to find the time to do that, but I did just buy a temporary TV subscription so I could get it. 

Thanks John.

I hope this video is broadly unifying. I recognize that the title, and the thumbnail that disagrees with it, are confusing and meant to draw attention, but hopefully the message they send make sense by the end of the video.
