I think FIFA has been doing blatant bribery for much longer than just this World Cup.
In terms of where to host stuff sure.
“Hydration breaks” were bad enough when it was too hot. when it’s 20C drizzle or in an air conditioned stadium it’s just for adverts.
Bribery to get players into the host country, or to get players unsuspended, it’s never been so blatant.
That disgusting half time nonsense hasn’t occurred before.
