Sir, – What an excellent article by Ken Early (“If capitalism was a country then Doha would be its capital” (Sport, December 16th).
If there is anybody left who has been watching this charade of World Cup football on their couch and who is not aware of how this country operates and what hypocritical values they espouse, then they should read this and reflect on how much this World Cup and Fifa have destroyed all sense of justice, equality and opportunity for the thousands of people affected negatively both in Qatar and worldwide by this outlandish, ugly and despotic regime. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Mbappe and Messi. Great vision and wonderful execution.
The same can be said of Mary Hannigan’s World Cup articles.
Irreverently sublime! – Yours, etc,
