North Korean television will only cover the World Cup if it shows North Korea is a favourable light. Can we only show the World Cup if it shows England in a favourable light, please? In other words, not at all.
Why do you think that, in particular, the BBC devotes so much coverage to football? Is it because the BBC is a working-class institution? No, it is because football is played, for those who can still afford the tickets (the sort of people depicted on Calsberg advertisements), by working-class Uncle Toms:
“Oh, look at the chav boys. They can barely read, and would never dream of actually doing so. They are chronic alcoholics and cocaine addicts. They have eye-wateringly poor taste, and are brash in displaying their decidedly new-found wealth. They beat their wives (if “wives” be the word), consort with prostitutes, and commit sexual assaults in nightclubs. But they are so very, very good at entertaining us by means of an ultimately pointless, purely physical activity.”
Both sides are equally despicable, like a prostitute and her client.
