' Well this was where the president of FIFA (controlling body of Gianni is on stage alongside one of the hosts; we are treated to a stirring montage of the last World Cup. “Qatar 2022: the most questioned World Cup in history,” begins the voiceover. “A tournament surrounded by doubt. debate. And the weight of the world’s eyes, but when the whistle blew something changed. The noise turned into emotion, the controversy into connection. Under pressure, Gianni Infantino stood at the centre leading with resolve – proving that leadership isn’t about avoiding the storm, it’s about standing tall within it and as the world watched. The same World Cup became the most emotional, the most unifying, the most human of them all.” The room breaks out into healthy applause. That is certainly one review of Qatar 2022. Others might want to add a little more nuance. Anyway on to the Fifa “I Can’t Believe It’s Not The Nobel Peace Prize” peace prize. “Our motto in Fifa is that football or soccer unites and that it brings people together from the entire planet,” Infantino said. “When we see what is happening in our world today. which is a very divided world, we need to find more occasions to bring people together, because when these people come together, they speak to each other, they understand each other. We believe that peace in the world is something which is so important. “We have to support it because it’s about unity and we have to support anyone who is doing something special. So we thought we have to bring to life the Fifa peace prize. The first edition will be happening this year with the awarding on 5 December in Washington DC on the occasion of the draw for the World Cup, because we will have a global audience with 1 billion people watching the draw. This is the right platform to award somebody who has done so much or is doing so much for peace, because we need that. Football helps a little bit, but then we need leaders who push it into the goal.” Well now, does anyone know anyone who might in the market for a global peace prize? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Can I shock you? ' Yes, long story short, they invented a 'Peace Prize' they can award the Clown to make things go smoothly at the US/Canada/Mexico World Cup. Corruption loves corruption..
