Lots of grabbing and pushing and diving. Very few shots at goal.

Overreacting to a foul is cheating. Grabbing and pushing is against the rules of football.

Very disappointing.

People want substance, not theatrics.

The match is symbolic of the world right now.

I was hoping the world’s regulators might learn from a fair-play sports competition:

Sovereign Tech Fund: Better market structure is the way the world brings global peace and prosperity by the end of the 2026 World Cup

I was wrong to be optimistic.

The final is boring so far ….and it is because of the cheating.

Maybe Trump, sitting in the audience for the first time during the tournament, will learn something about how the world sees him? About the importance of fair play?

Don’t hold your breath.
