It's FIFA. Handing out a peace prize. They didn't do it because they love peace so much. It's one narcissist painfully realizing that the success of running his organization's biggest money grab depends on the whims of another narcissist. Because that's still true, nothing will happen until after the world cup finals. Then, they will work up another shortlist for the next one (Kim Jong-Un, Benjamin Netanyahu, whoever is still alive in Iran and in charge, etc.) or, which is more likely, there will be a press release issued on a day when the world burns with bigger news that the prize is on hold indefinitely.
