i can’t believe this version of FIFA from 12 years ago is less evil and corrupt than what it is now 😩
Even if the crowds and the vibes are great at the WC now that games are going, there are still plenty of people who do not get to participate in any of this because of the draconian and racist policies of this administration. The pomp and the sport makes it too easy to forget about/overlook them.
Also the world's first trillionaire directly responsible for the deaths of potentially millions around the world due to the illegal destruction of USAID

Put differently, if you made a dollar EVERY SECOND, you would be a millionaire in just under 12 days.
It’d take you 31.7 years to become a billionaire.
You’d have to have been born 31,709 years ago — in the Upper Paleolithic era — to become a trillionaire.

Counting to a million, if you count one number per second nonstop, would take you just under 12 days.
Counting to a billion would take you about 31 years.
Counting to a trillion would take you 31,709 years.
