TV Problems for the 2026 World Cup in India and China
Introduction
FIFA does not have a TV deal for the 2026 World Cup in India and China. Many people in these countries might not see the games.
Main Body
In India, FIFA wants 100 million dollars. Two companies, Reliance and Disney, only want to pay 20 million dollars. The games are in North America, so people in India must watch them at midnight. Also, people in India love cricket more than football. In China, there is no deal yet. This is strange because China has many football fans. In the past, the TV station CCTV always bought the rights early. Now, there is no news. The World Cup starts on June 11. There are only five weeks left. FIFA needs more time to sign papers and set up the TV equipment.
Conclusion
India and China do not have TV deals for the World Cup. We do not know if people there can watch the games.

π‘ The Power of 'More Than'
In the text, we see: "people in India love cricket more than football."
When you want to compare two things you like or dislike, use this simple pattern:
[Person] + [Like/Love] + [Thing A] more than [Thing B]
π οΈ Simple Examples for A2:
- I love coffee more than tea.
- She likes dogs more than cats.
- We love summer more than winter.
β οΈ Quick Tip
Don't say "more better" or "more love." Just use more than to show your preference clearly!
