The afternoon Mailbox wants the US to have the same scrutiny as Qatar ahead of the 2026 World Cup...
Date published: Tuesday 20th December 2022 1:35 -
My mail however is to assess how ready is anyone to win the next one its only 31/2 years away. Let’s assess it per continent.Kiwis will become World Cup regulars, Solomon Island will probably lose 427 -0 in the continental playoffs neither really has a chance of winning the tournament. Will be happy to win game.
England will probably have to restructure their defence and replace their record goalscorer, Germany need a new spine, Italy need to start taking World Cups seriously again. The likes of the BBC and Guardian must report this instead of say the World Cup opening ceremony, and while the tournament is on they must start every question to officials that have worked on the World Cup about these issues.…The question of hosting the World Cup in Qatar has been subject to considerable conversation and rightly so.
As galling as it was to have such a fantastic World Cup hosted by a nation with such a civil rights record, I hope that final will live in our memories long past the point when Qatar affords all its residents full human rights. Here in the US, the response was a little astonishing. Perhaps Ted Lasso softened up a lot of people who previously dismissed soccer as irrelevant, but I saw countless social media reactions from people I could hardly believe were watching at all. It was just lovely.
Messi is absolutely magnificent, and is the best attacking player of his generation, but of all time?It was wonderful, but it was also shite. Does that matter? Not particularly, unless you’re more interested in debating the meaning of the word greatest than you are in just enjoying something for once in your life without having to overthink it, you fool. It’s too late for me. But you’re young. You’ve got time. Go. Don’t look back.
Anyway, my real reason for writing in is this: so when we succumbed 1-0 to Madrid in last year’s Champs League final, the loss stung on a multitude of levels.
Prior to this World Cup there was little to no awareness of working practices or the social and political policies of Qatar. Now there is an awareness, a spotlight that has shone ever so brightly this past while.
