American money has really made football sickening, from advert breaks to half time shows to blatant bribery. Time to retire fifa.

I think FIFA has been doing blatant bribery for much longer than just this World Cup.

In terms of where to host stuff sure.

“Hydration breaks” were bad enough when it was too hot. when it’s 20C drizzle or in an air conditioned stadium it’s just for adverts.

Bribery to get players into the host country, or to get players unsuspended, it’s never been so blatant.

That disgusting half time nonsense hasn’t occurred before.

To say that it's American money in specific is laughable. The internet hasn't worked well on a matchday for quite some time in Spain due to their draconian laws around blocking piracy.
