The United States are bidding for the World Cup,15 years after they hosted the tournament. World Football speaks with some of the most important decision makers in the country.

Presenter Sean Wheelock is in Washington DC, with Senate Leader Harry Reid and President Barrack Obama's press secretary to discuss their country's bid for the 2018 World Cup and to see if "soccer" can again capture the public's interest. 

They are joined by US international defender Jimmy Conrad, who has played in the last World Cup and who directly benefited from the United States World Cup in 1994.
