Just picked up an e-book: “Red Card - The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine” by Jules Boykoff. Only start reading the book.
To be honest, I am really surprised that the stadiums (stadia?) at the current group phase are full (or at least claimed to be filled). What has happened to the complain about outrageous ticket price? I am seeing families with their small children at some prime seats and not nosebleed sections, that must have cost a small fortune.
It seems like no one is talking about the arresting citizens just because of their skin colour anymore. Epstein file has completely gone quiet. Society ills are not being talked about. People can’t afford food because petrol price are too high, or medical supports are being cut.
Still enjoy the football and fans having a blast in the city, but don’t let the joyous occasions mask the ugliness behind.
Oh, I fucking hate seeing Infantino on TV.
