What we as fans do and how we react makes no difference. I don't feel enthusiastic, but you can't successfully boycott from thousands of miles away. England won't win it or come close. Interest here will peter out though TV coverage will desperately attempt to stir up our enthusiasm for watching better players than our own. The sports wash will at moments look like working, but we won't forget those from Nepal who died exploited and alone, or the gay people who continue to be locked up for being born that way, or the women whose lives are limited by the existence of men ...... Qatar can buy a few Kenyan athletes and Brazilian footballers, but it is still determined to be Qatar and we all know it.
