The thing about FIFA is that every single thing about it sucks so hard...and then the game starts.

my fundamental position on this
FIFA tries every tournament to develop a power structure so heinous, a fan experience so maddening, a revenue plan so exploitive that it will ruin the World Cup
and they never succeed. the football always wins.
I'm not exactly happy about it? but it's consistent.

A dispiriting contradiction: The World Cup is supposed to unite the world in a spirit of brotherhood & joy, yet it’s being hosted by a xenophobic, bigoted president who has done everything in his power to shut America’s doors to the world.

If there's a way to spoil it, the FIFA Peace Prize winner will find it.
