For those of us who don't yet have the means to travel around the world, we rely only on the media for happenings globally.

The message we got from the western media prior to the world cup was that Russia isn't fit enough to host the competition. With messages of racism, intolerance, politics etc. preached to us on a daily basis.

With the way this world cup is going so far with so much fun, and the fans enjoying themselves, I wonder how the west are feeling right now.

I can't wait for 2026 so I can make comparisons.

Moral is: Stop believing you own the world, and that others are not capable of doing great things.
