13. This is the CLUB WORLD CUP, not next year's actual World Cup

FYI, for those who don't follow soccer.

Club teams (i.e., Miami) don't play in the World Cup. National teams (i.e., Italy, Germany, Argentina) do. Tickets for the World Cup are not on sale yet, much less discounted.

The headline here is deceptive because it doesn't distinguish between the actual World Cup - the most important and watched sports tournament in the world, scheduled for next summer in the US, Canada, and Mexico - and the Club World Cup, a tournament in its first run going on right now that nobody really cares about that much.
