We’ve seen John Oliver explain why FIFA is run by a bunch of corrupt idiots who run the risk of ruining the sport that everyone loves so much. But the flipside to that coin is that, despite all their failings, if you love the game you’re still brimming with excitement at the upcoming World Cup. It’s undeniable. The business might be bad, but when the whistle blows, all that’s left is the pure, the good, the beauty of the world game.
And if you needed that point rammed home any further, check out this stunning 5 minute short film made by Nike in celebration of the World Cup. A reminder of all that is good and pure about the game made by a profit-chasing corporation. Two sides of the same coin. Love and loathe in equal amounts.
Viva football.
