7/10
Good, but nothing more than propaganda
20 November 2022
Corruption is everywhere, specially in such a big organisation like FIFA which doesn't have a "referee, time limit and boundaries off the field". We all know about it but don't talk about it. We don't need to look past the last 10 years to understand what this show is trying hard to convey. The conditions of the workers who did an absolute fantastic job with setting up the infrastructure in Qatar were horrendous. But does that really mean we shouldn't expand the reach of this beautiful game to lesser known lands? Questions are asked as to why one of the world's greatest sports event should be hosted in a "desert country". Enough with this labelling please. Football is much more than the country it's played in, it's a way of life, a culture that unifies an otherwise divided world. A game with a player and fan base as diverse as football should be played in many many more countries other than those of Europe and North/South America. Yes, money may have been thrown around to win world cup hosting bids. But no money in the world can keep the world cup from moving to other lesser known countries in the future.

The series is well done with good substance. It does a good job of pointing out specific people who are directly involved in this farce. But let me end with a question. If this world cup was hosted in any western country this year instead of a "desert country" in the "middle-east", would this series still see light of day?
