Oh joy, Fifa!

Day -982. WorldCup2018‬.

I was in the mood for a feel-good story today so what better place to look then fifa.com. And they came up trumps with the wonderful tale of Bhutan playing and winning the first ever world cup qualifying match, and making it to the second round. And for a glimpse of the most interesting football stadium fast forward to 3.20-3.30. Those are some crazy stands.

Curiously though, Fifa posted this beautiful story this week, after Bhutan had already played a few of their second round matches. Unfortunately it's not going so well: 0-15 and 0-7 against Qatar and Hong Kong just a couple of their 5 defeats. But I assume that Fifa just wanted to go looking for a Bhutan-esque story at a time when the boys in Zurich needed a hit of positivity.
