Professional football and its award winners – this is such a clear mismatch that all World Cup contenders should ask themselves how they can become world champions. By winning the final? Or by reciting Gianni Infantino’s “Today I feel” speech by heart?
A little tip for everyone who doesn’t know the latest award ceremonies: “today I feel disabled” follows “today I feel gay”. Because what does a president get when he lets paramilitary gangs drive through the World Cup country, who this week, disguised as always, used a five-year-old and had him knock on his parents’ front door as bait?
What does a team get if it takes part in the final by stealing the towel from its rival’s goalkeeper so that he can’t dry his gloves in the rain?
The Fair Play Prize of the Africa Cup!
And what does Yehvann Diouf get?
He, the Senegalese substitute goalkeeper, recently stood behind his team’s goal in the final against the supposedly fair Moroccans to protect the towel. He maintained it even when ball boys pounced on him. And because his goalkeeper saved a penalty with halfway dry gloves, he showed the world in the World Cup year that it was worth resisting.
