World Cup 2026 Tickets: If you still believe FIFA cares about Fans, you’re fooling Yourself
World Cup 2026 ticket prices aren’t a mistake. They are proof. Proof that FIFA no longer represents football fans, that national associations lack courage, and that we allowed it to happen.

World Cup 2026 Draw: The Day FIFA finally stopped Pretending
The World Cup 2026 draw didn’t just embarrass FIFA—it exposed a corrupt system that has completely rotted from within. Instead of a celebration of football, fans were served a political circus built on vanity, power, and Gianni Infantino’s shameless self-promotion.

From split strategies to enforced position swaps, McLaren routinely favoured Norris, costing Piastri an estimated 41–47 points. The article argues that the real damage wasn’t just lost results, but the erosion of trust — a driver can fight rivals, but not his own team’s decisions.
