Football Daily has officially ended the Geopolitics World Cup, declaring France the winner.
The tournament has dragged on too long, disrupting sleep, eating, and drinking habits while leaving fans exhausted and poorer.
From the first kick, France's front four—Mbappé, Olise, Dembélé, and Barcola—proved unbeatable.
No other team can match their skill, making every match a futile exercise for opponents.
Why Stop Now?
Ending the GWC now saves other teams from needless heartache. Players can rest, and traveling supporters can reunite with loved ones.
No more press conferences where coaches pretend they can win.
Every team is essentially playing for second place. Sharing silver medals among remaining teams would be more sensible.
Atlanta could save on air conditioning, Mexico could celebrate a perfect home record, and other nations could bring their players home as winners.
Paraguay's defense might seem capable of stifling Mbappé, but nothing can stop France's sharp attack.
Olise's stunning overhead kick against Sweden nearly went in, and Dembélé's creativity leaves defenses in shambles.
Mbappé praised Olise's skill, saying, "It was a fantastic bit of skill.
Unfortunately it didn't go in, but people come to the stadium to see that kind of thing."
He added, "I did say that I wanted to enjoy this World Cup to the fullest."
England, despite having Kane and Bellingham, have no chance unless they build a wall in the net. France's dominance is absolute.
The GWC is known for pragmatism, allowing mediocre teams to qualify and park the bus. But even a points system would leave France untouchable.
Senegal, Iraq, Norway, and Sweden all failed to lay a glove on Les Bleus.
One reader suggested handing the trophy to France to save carbon emissions and spare other teams' embarrassment.
Another noted that just one of France's stars would be enough for most teams, calling them the "Duplantis of the football world."
