When a host is planning a party built around a special televised event, a number of questions can zoom through the mind.

What sort of foods should be served? How should the eats relate to the special televised event? And does the time of day matter when it comes to the meal that's ultimately chosen?

World Cup, though, makes it all rather easy. If you're rooting for a particular team, you'll probably want to cook some of the classic dishes hailing from that team's country. 

If it is morning, you may want to go with a breakfast-type dish. (And, yes, many of the matches at FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 will air in the very, very early morning in Southern California.)

And if you crave cute doughnuts that look like soccer balls, you'll want to go straight to Trejo's Coffee & Donuts, which will making these timely treats during the duration of World Cup, which opens on June 14 and finishes on July 15.

What's inside these edible soccer-ball-esque doughnuts?

Chocolate pudding, as if an exciting morning spent rooting for your favorite players couldn't get any better. Maybe all doughnuts everywhere should automatically include chocolate pudding in their centers, from here on out? Just a thought.
