The Qatar World Cup has been quite something, especially off the field. I doubt anyone needs convincing that there are some dodgy practices at play behind the scenes, considering the host nation's human rights record and treatment of migrant workers. It's a tricky situation, but one that brings up important conversations.
On a lighter - or perhaps more escape-route note - I've been enjoying the actual football matches! It's such a relief to see underdogs like Morocco and Saudi Arabia pull off surprising wins. At this rate, who knows, maybe we'll have a first-time winner lifting the trophy?
