In the past, the final stage of the World Cup offered something new in football, beyond the competition of the best teams in the world. Either a new ball star, or some new attack or even defense system.

In recent events, especially in what is happening now in Qatar, we do not see either one or the other. The movements of the players remain largely predictable, devoid of imagination and inspiration, and any excitement offered to the world comes from some fluctuations in the score and surprises in the results.

Okay, that’s something too. However, it cannot be classified as one of the best in history, as those who describe the games are trying to impose on us. If this is going to go down in history, it’s that for the first time there was… the mistress of the match and that technology has gotten to the point where, in places, even if it eliminates injustice in many ways, it breaks the nerves of players and spectators.

Organizationally, at least from what the producers of the picture show us, there is not the slightest flaw. Impeccable lighting, a brilliant ritual before the cross of each game – absolute proof that with money you can achieve anything. Even if you get to the point of exaggeration… kitsch.

Like these chairs in official stadiums, where the headquarters of the World Football Federation is located. Who managed, with the help of the means at his disposal, to ensure that until today not a single mention of the thousands of dead has been heard or written.
