World Cup 2026

I mean you can be incompetent at hiding it like 2022 and not even bothering to hide it like 2026

I think Trump taught us that trying to hide corruption is taking valuable energy away from the acts of corruption.  I'm sure he and Infantino are not just talking about world peace and soccer when they chat.

I'm quite enjoying the Mexican 4th official in the SWI-COL game  (Katia Itzel García)

I hated it and now absolutely love this in this World Cup. They keep cutting to American sports celebrities and there's just awkward silence - totally dead air - because the commentators have no idea who it is, then ten seconds later when the camera's back on the pitch someone's clearly given them a note and they'll say "that was x, from the NFL, here to watch the game".

Annoyed me to start with, but now just quite funny.
