Tommy Martin: Fifa truly tireless in reminding you what a shower they are

Frankly, this World Cup is the most exhausting thing you can do without getting off the couch.

If you were, out of moral conscience, of a mind not to watch this World Cup, I don’t quite know how you’d manage it. 

Qatar 2022 is impossible to avoid because there is so damn much of it. Four games a day is super-size even by the standards of international soccer tournaments. Conscientious objection has never been harder. It must feel like a polar bear trying to boycott snow.
