The 2022 FIFA World Cup finally ended after Argentina defeated juggernaut France in a penalty shootout. This would only be the third time in World Cup history that a match was decided in a penalty shootout. The lead up to the multibillion-dollar tournament was plagued with controversies after FIFA granted hosting rights to both Russia and Qatar way back in 2010. Both countries have some of the worst human right records according to Human Rights Watch.
FIFA managed to overcome such charges such as racketeering, conspiracy and corruption brought to by the U.S. Department of Justice back in 2015 against nine high-ranking FIFA officials.
