This Sunday afternoon the FIFA Men’s World Cup finally comes to a close. Ending a month of forgettable football. In the most corrupt sporting contest ever to exist, in any sport. After a bribed bid brought the most iconic male tournament to Qatar. With hopes of covering up human rights abuses. Costing the lives of over five thousand migrant workers who passed away in sacrifice to build the playing surface. Alongside fans who will never return home having lost their lives whilst away. ‘Health reasons’ the official verdict by the state.
On the pitch. Argentina faces off against France in the final. Les blues aiming to be back-to-back champions at the Lusail Stadium, after securing success in Russia last time out. Beating Croatia by four goals to two that day. Star man Mbappe taking centre sport in their line-up again. La Albiceleste the last team standing in their way, with hopes of giving Messi his last glory. Cementing his story as the greatest Argentina footballer of all time. Leaving him narrowly behind Pele for the south American title.
However, the match has had a detrimental effect away from the middle east. Football fixtures across the United Kingdom cancelled, letting the tie take centre stage. Robbing supporters and groundhoppers of an enjoyable afternoon of sport. The last before the Christmas break. Forcing people to give attention to the murderous match up against their will. Proving money manages to ruins the game, for the very people who created it all those years ago.
