El Mundial del caos global: poder, política y fútbol en la vitrina de un mundo fragmentado

Más que un torneo, este evento deportivo refleja un mundo entre guerras, restricciones y disputas políticas. El fútbol deja de ser neutral y se convierte en escenario donde se cruzan poder, intereses y contradicciones globales. Todo, en un EE.UU. que busca reafirmar su liderazgo global.
