Fifa World Cup: is this fair play?

The World Cup can also help refute the anti-immigration rhetoric of right-wing populists, writes Visão:

“Sport can’t change the world, but in some cases it helps to explain the reality in which we live. The best football teams are increasingly perfect examples of multicultural integration, where every player knows how to play their part in pursuit of a common goal. … Isolationist populists may know how to play with words, but in truth they understand nothing of the game that really matters: that of development and progress, with opportunities for everyone. Let’s hope that for at least a month, as the World Cup unfolds, we can learn this lesson on the pitches of North America.”
