At the time of publish, we are 3 weeks away from the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar. At this stage for past tournaments we’re at the height of World Cup hype, fans are excited about team selections, journalists are reporting from training camps and tabloids are on WAG watch.
This year is very different. Nearly all lead-up stories have been negative; covering the human rights issues, corruption, timing and infrastructure problems.
