The world cup finals take place every four years and - apart from a handful of idiots who are dealt with by local police and ostricised by everyone else - everybody gets on with each other and enjoys the event.
In recent years Iran and America have played games which have not involved anybody being shot or bombed, African nations have equal standing with first world countries and the Germans have got the hang of humerous songs.
Politicians have utterly failed to achieve this sense of worldwide community, resoting to air strikes, trade sanctions and general violence to try and settle their differences.
So why not send out football teams to play a match over political issues? Civillians will be entertained, rather than have their legs blown off by landmines and the chances of America being the winners are somewhat slim!
A case in point - the current world champions are Italy, who despite being a Catholic country, manage not to bomb Islamic countries on a regular basis!
