From ISS, they have a small football match between three people, with ball-rolling and ball-passing moves in a zero gravity environment, to celebrate the biggest sporting event on the planet that will kick off tomorrow in Brazil. In the video, three researchers simultaneously sent good wishes to the teams participating in this year's World Cup.

Before working on ISS, astronauts had two years of training to live and work, research in a space environment.
