Even I would baulk at sitting up till 3am to watch Zambia against Mozambique, and Bolivia play Benin

And this is before we get on to the fact that isn't FIFA absolutely loaded already, and I wouldn't touch GI as far as I can throw him to not be doing this to line his and his cronies pockets

The problem is, investment requires something in return, and you can guarantee this will take the form of, for example, certain countries guaranteed entry to the World Cup finals - look at the World Club Cup as a prime example

All in all a poor world cup, which i'm sure FIFA and Trump will now try and push as the 'best world cup ever'

Poor leadership from FIFA (e.g. Balogun)
No real shocks (surprise teams going deep, big teams going out in the groups)
A poor final
Very few really outstanding games
The US hosting (see Iran, the Somali ref etc)
