Generally, I regard FIFA with indifference or vague ill will. I am not into sportsball, the organization is widely regarded as corrupt, it paid fealty to Trump to by awarding him a nonsensical “peace prize” which meant so much to him that he immediately turned around and launched an illegal war with Iran. Host cities for the World Cup will see little benefit other than a lot of extra costs.
But in the spirit of looking at the bright side of life1If you know, you know, here are 3 good things about FIFA, specifically in regard to Vancouver being one of the host cities:
- A lot of people seem to genuinely enjoy the games
- The SkyTrain is running on a more frequent schedule, which is aces for me when I need to use it (I just need to not use it when there is a game pending)
- Science World admittedly looks pretty cute as a giant football/soccer ball
