Since the Romans invented Panem et circus (Bread and Circuses) the political systems have many ways to entertaining people, the world cup can be one of them, in my country #Mexico are doing many things right now with our petroleum, while all the people thinks about world cup, but that have you been doing for centuries and whether with or without the world cup they will continue doing what they want... I´m not blind, i know and i not agree with that, but sometimes I prefer to have a great time watching something distraction with my people and not be fighting every time...
