In the end it’s the WC, once every 4 years even though it’s years since there’s been a WC which has been free of 100 percent corruption and political torment. Unfortunately, the mega-rich have used sport as a covert cover to probably extend their own means — whatever that could be.
I’ve previously lived in the Middle East for several years and enjoyed the experience, and I don’t think for one minute that it’s as bad as the media portrays it.
Moreover, the Arabs gave us so much to get to this moment in the life of the earth so perhaps they also deserve respect for the past and support in regards to building a better future, which if you look at the clean air and energy projects the Arabs are very much the leaders in the climate effort technologies.
So why don’t we just enjoy the moment for what it should be — love for the beautiful game.
