Whats the opposite of a legacy?

An unmarked grave

Infantino doing a great job of keeping politics out of sport. What a ******.

I want this tournament to crash and burn so badly. Some fan violence would be nice as long as nobody is seriously hurt, some dubious officiating/results, technical issues, all sorts of shenanigans to the point where national associations start talking seriously about abandoning FIFA. A pipe dream I guess.

He is stunning and brave...

Moving to a pro slavery position. European countries should take more in... well at a pound a day I could afford a couple myself. Id need to get a safe to store their phones and passports away first though... so they dont lose them. Very progressive.

What a knob!

I wonder how much money it would take to get someone to stand on a stage and actually say that in front of the whole world?

£3m a year plus expenses, seemingly.

They seem to be really struggling to work out how to make this experience enjoyable to those attending. So weird

I didn't know about deaths at Sochi, or even where it was.
The numbers have been massively covered up, it could be more than quatar

Abdujabbarov tells Theblacksea.eu that at least 120 Uzbeks were killed during the construction of Olympic facilities. "There is a mixture of reasons for workers' deaths," he says, "but the main culprits are employers. Dangerous work was conducted by people without professional education and without proper control.

And CHINA...
How many people died building Chinese Olympics?
Portraits of 143 migrant workers at the construction site were featured in the book Workers (Gong Ren) by artist Helen Couchman. On 1 January 2008, The Times reported that 10 workers had died throughout construction; despite denial from the Chinese government.

Just switched on Al Jazeera on Sky, World Cup Today is on so thought it would be interesting to see the BS on propaganda TV.

Two female presenters, what a surprise.

Viral video of a copper fixing an Ecuador fans headdress "showing such a welcoming atmosphere". Yeah OK hun, if it was a pride flag he'd have been in a cell by now.
