it's funny to me that this is a big deal, what is alcohol going to bring or add to the world cup ? Absolutely nothing, it probably would reduce some crazy acts from drunk people and that's it, I think it will run just fine in Qatar without alcohol, it won't affect it at all.
It is a big deal if beer is being denied to football fans. And let's not forget the fact that Budweiser is one of the sponsors for this world cup. They paid big bucks for the sponsorship rights. Previously Qatari officials had stated that they would make beer available within the stadiums. They went back on their word, two days before the start of the tournament. Anyway, serves the FIFA right. Next time they should think twice before allowing such stone age nations to host a major tournament. For the fans, my advice is to watch the matches on television. It is not worth to travel to Qatar at this point.
Well, actually QATAR is a country that spent more than 220 million dollars and it is estimated that they will only be able to return approximately 20 million dollars, this figure was said in one of the ntociieros that I see on TV, there they emphasized that they do not care in this moment the money, but to show the world that this will be the most expensive world cup in all history and that Qatar is a very up-to-date country in everything, it should be noted that this country is relatively young, it was founded in 1970 and they are already organizing a world cup, I know that there are many criticisms, due to the issue of human rights, of what it means to have and be in a country where there is a culture with many rules, this is honestly something quite big.
regardless of the result, I think the use of VAR in this World Cup is better than the use of VAR in the Champions League. some people who agree with the use of this technology may be amused. but for those who feel aggrieved, of course, the use of this technology is very disturbing. we saw it in Argentina's first game, we know how the fans feel. but there will still be controversy after this event is over.
I agree it is better than in Champions League but you should know there is one supplemental technology is used in World Cup. It's
Semi-automated offside technology which is used the first time.
I believe that the new technology is helpful for VAR referee team and the main referee to make their decisions more precisely. More decisions are made with support from technology, less mistakes and regret occur in matches but it has a drawback which reduce emotion on field. I really miss the time with strict and precise referees like Collina. Nowadays, with technological supports, matches can be halted too long for VAR checking after complains and requirement from players. That is harmful for soccer beauty.
Undoubtedly, the use of VAR with complementary technology should be imposed in the games of all leagues, also if we start to see, the players accept it without making much claim, it has some things that only the arbitration system handles, it seems to me that it is very good and that it can be adapted even for the next World Cup qualifiers, which is not bad, I think that this time they are making the correct use of the technology, in the use of the previous VAR there were always points of view that the main referee gave and that was the law, now audios are not filtered and I think that in the most controversial plays the one with the greatest power is the refereeing body of the VAR, which in my opinion is very good.
