by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Are we about to witness the end of an era?  From November 20th to December 18th, people all over the world will gather around their televisions to watch the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.  It really is one of the very few things that unites the entire planet, and it is very sad to think that it could be the last one that we ever see.  After this one, the next World Cup is not scheduled to be played until 2026, and by that time our world will be a far different place than it is right now.  So this may be our last chance to see Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, Lewandowski and the other great players of this generation represent their national teams at the World Cup level.
