The 2018 World Cup from Russia is kicking off today, with an opening ceremony, followed by the first game between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

While most people in Europe and South America will be well aware of how World Cups work, North Americans may be a little confused by it all. Especially as the U.S. failed to qualify.

This video from Fox News does a good job of explaining the 2018 World Cup; what it is, when it’s taking place, and how the group and knockout stages work.

Now, all that’s left to do is watch the 2018 World Cup from Russia play out. And, in the spirit of sportsmanship, may the best team win.
