By

Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
The article discusses the opening match of the Men's World Cup (Mexico vs. South Africa) and uses it as a springboard to address heavier topics surrounding the event: Gianni Infantino's public support for Donald Trump, the Somali referee Omar Artan being denied entry to the United States, and criticism of the environmental pollution generated by such a large-scale sporting event. The article appears to be a newsletter-style piece presented by CORUM L'Épargne, written by Élisa Bertholomey with contributions from Sarah Paillou and Matthieu Verrier.
