Don Garber has bribed Infantino to let Messi win the World Cup so that he won't need to introduce pro/rel and can profit from all his pay to play academies.
Donovan kept saying that Paredes was coming in fast and with force, which is why Embolo dove (to avoid getting slammed into). But the replay shows Paredes was well in control, allowing Embolo to go away from goal in a harmless position. That he was a looming danger for Embolo is a false narrative. (I get that sometimes this is the case, that hard tackles endanger attacking players at times.)
Stadiums will be full, prime time in Europe, Africa and the Middle-East, late afternoon in Argentina, breakfast time in Eastern Asia. FIFA will post an impossible number of viewers and the sponsors will be happy. Screw the locals.
Most of them are probably not locals. There were allegedly 30,000 England fans in Miami and 50,000 Argentina fans in KC.
Which also doesn't screw the locals, unless I'm missing something. Just how are locals being screwed in this scenario?
