The Qatar 2022 World Cup is just around the corner.
The first two countries to host the World Cup (Uruguay 1930 and Italy 1934) were also the winners of the tournament. The next 5 tournament hosts (1938 - France, 1950 - Brazil, 1954 - Switzerland, 1958 - Sweden, 1963 - Chile) did not win.

Along with the announcement of the mascot, a video was released which can be seen by clicking here.
The video includes just about all previous world cup mascots (some can be seen more than once, while other have a extremely short appearance - such as France Footix) with the exception of the 2018 World Cup host mascot, probably due to current world events.
