In recent years it has been held in South Africa and Russia, hardly doyens of liberal democracy where gays and transgenders are treated with respect. Qatar got it because of massive corruption in FIFA, but most World Cups are awarded after brown envelopes are handed over somewhere along the line.

Just sit back and enjoy the football.
