Yeah I think it's one of those songs where although not that many people really love it, no-one really dislikes it either. For me there were definitely six songs that I preferred in the final (maybe more depending on my mood!), but the highest of them only placed seventh overall so there was always something for me to downvote ahead of Dare. I think if everyone who voted ranked the finalists, Dare probably wouldn't be top of more than one or two at most, but probably wouldn't be outside the top ten of any - whereas most of the songs that topped those lists would be near the bottom of a significant number.

After Russia and Qatar, nothing FIFA do will surprise me. I imagine they'll also claim it'll be a carbon-neutral tournament - in fact they'll probably claim it will somehow solve climate change and world hunger...
