is a validating stamp like no other. The sense of anticipation along the boulevard bordering the Lusail Stadium was supercharged in a way that evoked the walk to the ring of the heavyweight champ.

The chasm between the political class, the intelligentsia and the people is never more apparent than at a football match. The idea that Neymar, Alisson, Thiago Silva or any other lavishly rewarded mega-star said to be, might be skewered on their first appearance at Qatar 2022 never made it past the turnstiles.
