Neymar has by all accounts been PSG's best player this year, which is why there was so much Mbappe drama before the World Cup.
That club's a circus, but the trio has at least performed when on the pitch at this World Cup.

Which I guess is kinda good for Qatar given that they're all part of PSG.

Everything's broken right for Qatar this World Cup so far, seems like the sportswashing is gonna work because for most we're just going to remember this being a fantastic World Cup with loads of memorable upsets, but the big teams in the quarters.

Worst part about that is seeing people praising the organisation of it like that was the problem. Of course the organisation was good when there's infinite money, no unions, a risible minimum wage, few health and safety laws and the government centralising everything. You can just hire every fucking body and overstaff every event and there's no competing interests to compromise with.

That doesn't make awarding them the tournament a good idea, and there's already been a few worrying attempts to reframe the tournament as "good" because the transport links were relatively efficient. That was never the problem.
