FIFA relies entirely on massive brands to sell their expensive tournament. They desperately need Brazil to generate lucrative television ratings today. The five-time champions face Morocco in a highly hyped group match. However, the current Brazilian squad looks incredibly weak and deeply fractured. They barely survived the brutal South American qualification rounds. They hired an Italian coach to fix their completely broken system.

Selling a Ghost Town

FIFA markets the legendary Brazilian flair, but the reality disappoints. Aging superstar Neymar will completely miss the crucial opening game. He barely plays for his country anymore due to endless injuries. The team relies entirely on Vinicius Junior to provide the actual entertainment. Fans pay thousands of dollars to watch a shadow of a former dynasty. Morocco knows they can easily exploit this weak, vulnerable Brazilian defense.

Ignoring the Ugly Truth

Meanwhile, FIFA actively ignores massive scandals surrounding the tournament. Ghana furiously protested Canada for denying a visa to Thomas Partey. The player currently faces a brutal rape trial in British courts. FIFA smiles for the cameras and counts their massive piles of cash.

Football is a corrupt corporate machine. Find the real sports journalism at The WAU today.
