the team should certainly be looking to build on the overnight performance and 3-2 would be a good foundation to build from for the future (and important for WTC ambitions) but making it a "good series" is worryingly delusional

if it was just a question of corruption then FIFA would be fine, they know how to play that game, my guess is they are genuinely worried about ICE targetting some of the delegates or sponsors (or teams I guess but not sure FIFA cares so much about those)

My first ever job (after hours shelf stacking) had a "work after hours, paid as >= 18" rule when I first started (~17yo) - so they hired 17/18 y/o
Daytime (who could attend the vote) traded it for a few extra $0.0x/h so we go an influx of 15/16 y/o who couldn't lift some of the boxes

Personally I do quite like the bang part of the light-show, but it will be interesting to see the extent to which drones will change that over time as well, esp if get consumer level ones
