I want to talk about the rules in Qatar for visitors who got use to have a lot of outside the stadium brfore or after and during matches, we got use to hooligans and European fans that drinks a lot of alcohol and go to the stadium, i want to say that this year in Qatar it’s different, drinking might be limited or even forbidden in public places some hotels may give some limited drinks for each person.
Also there will be no much women for fun and free sex Xd, Qatar is an islamic county and all inappropriate scenes and behaviors will be totally forbidden. The question is will the fans have fun like that with this inhabituel rules
I think with the strict rules Qatar exhibit it will cause them to miss some opportunities. Any country that is opportune to host the fifa World get financial benefit from visitors. People who travel to watch world cup always have plans for other activities but since Qatar is a strict country it will decrease how visitors will spend money to have fun.

Why does everyone think that having fun have to include breaking laws? If something is forbidden then don't do it. If drinking alcohol in Qatar is illegal, do something else. I'm sure we will see many news about foreign fans getting arrested for breaking their laws.

Do anyone else feels good about Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo ? Possibly winning the World 🌍 Cup .......  Hopefully, he'll help Portugal emerge FIFA World Cup winners.

I am happy to hear that Cristiano Ronaldo cs has the hope of being able to bring home the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Ideally, this would happen towards the end of Ronaldo's career, before he leaves the Portugal national team.

The golden generation players who won the 2018/2019 UEFA Nation League title are currently the majority in the Portugal national team. Portugal, are placed in Group H along with Ghana, South Korea and Uruguay, and if they qualify as the top two teams in the group stage, then they will play a play-off with the teams that qualified from Group G, which includes Brazil , Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland.

For me, Portugal is actually a big disappointment in the qualifications for this World Cup.
They were only second in their qualifying group, after losing at home against Serbia, and after that they had to play additional qualifications.
Their main player Ronaldo is also in a big crisis this season and practically does not play at all for his club.
I think they are playing in a very difficult group at the World Cup and I am not optimistic about their result at the World Cup.
Uruguay, Ghana and Portugal will fight to advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup in that group.

There are more countries that have disappointed in the qualification of the groups. Portugal was not good, but in the end they managed to easily qualify for the tournament. I recently read something that Italy might still be allowed to go to the World Cup, because there is a country that could not go to the World Cup due to dipomatic measures. Or because of some kind of danger/protest, but I don't remember which country that is. I think we would all like to see Italy in the final tournament, but they didn't manage to qualify, neither in the group nor in qualifying. So in the end Italy can only look in the mirror and blame itself for the failed qualifying campaign.

Talking about this topic of tradition and habits, I believe thebmost people already knew that several things could happen, because Qatar is a Muslim country, such as its customs related to religion.
I'm not criticizing the Muslim religion, but in fact they are extremely strict on several points.
I don't know if this will actually be the first and last world cup in Qatar, because they are extremely strict, especially in religion and beliefs

I do not understand your point. There are muslim countries like Saudia Arab and Iran which Play football. Even in other Muslim countries football is being played though they are unable to qualify for the world cup as we know every continent has some quota and only the top teams qualify for the world cup.

I fail to understand the link between Football & religion and how Muslims are affected by it ? If you can explain a bit, it will be better to understand for everyone.

I've been thinking to myself and I've come to the conclusion that an interesting variable is, the current germany team has undergone a huge modification, most of the players who participated in the previous cups that were reference for the team will not participate in this year's world cup .

With many novice and inexperienced players, this made it clear that Germany will have a good chance of not being champions this year.
But that doesn't rule out the possibility that Germany is a strong team, it still is, but not so much compared to the previous teams that Germany has had.

Sincerely if we talk about talent this current German team has it in folds but in international tournaments like this experience and leaders are needed. The 2014 triumph had the likes of Lahm, Shewnstiger, Klose and more who could inspire the team. But this current team is filled with young talents although players like Muller, Nuer and Kroos could be the leaders and skippers again. Another big issue Germany has is the lack of a proper center forward since the likes of Klose and Mario Gomez retired. The Coach has tried to slot in Havertz and Warner to fit in that position but its not working because the team style of play has always been a kind that has towering center forward. Recently I saw Hensi Flick watching most of weder Bremen matches maybe is keenly looking at the possibility of bringing Fulkrug the Bremen strike into the team. Fulkrug is already having a season to remember in German top flight competition and if he can bring that A game to world Cup then Germany might have a solution to one of there problem.

Nonetheless I expect Germany to top that group because Spain itself hasn't been that exceptional in recent years

I believe that the pessimism in Germany's betting is mainly due to the fact that they were eliminated in the 2018 championship still in the group stage, finishing in last place.
In addition, Germany's recent performance is also not the best.... being in a strong Nations League, Germany won only once, while Italy and Hungary, who will not be in the Cup, were fighting for the leadership.

Now, in 2022, Germany is in the same group as Japan, Spain and Costa Rica, where the first two are strong competitors to qualify for the second phase of the competition.

I checked the odds from various sportsbooks and Germany doesn't seems to be one of the favorites. Brazil and Argentina are ahead by a big margin and then France is a distant third. Spain is another country that is being regarded as favorites along with England. Other than any of these five countries, I don't think that anyone else is having a realistic chance of winning the world cup this time. Italy has failed to even qualify and teams such as Belgium, Netherlands are not in good shape at the moment.

Seems with performance at qualifying group stage and Brazil most success national unbeaten all games have favorite sportsbooks for winning at World Cup Qatar and under have Argentina. I don't really excited with CONMEBOL countries have chance to win World Cup after Brazil most long term become the winner at 2002. Seems European national team most favorite to win although not have in the list of sportsbooks like France or Germany.

Left 26 days later to watch World Cup and most excited how atmosphere with Qatar based on their domestic league not any excited from fans watching at stadium.

the world cup is only held every 4 years so i think people are obviously waiting for this to bet and i am also including going to make a bet on this event, even though my country didn't qualify for the world cup, but i support several countries to bet on later, we know not only online gambling and even land-based gambling will be crowded when this event starts, usually people bet for it
Interesting your observations!

I also share the same idea, even in this year's World Cup being on a different date from previous editions, it could be a watershed/game changer.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe, this 2022 World Cup will be held for the first time in history in a country in the Middle East with Muslim traditions.
That is correct they made so many changes in their muslim laws for the world cup
The land of the Qatar will be allowing the alcohol  even the gambling will be allowed.

@Agbe, your FIFA 2022 world cup poll is so biased or one-sided, am sorry to say  Cheesy, This is no Euro

How did you miss out the record world cup champions Brazil? Or even the likes of Argentina?
I am a Germany backer, but please, your poll does not represent what the world cup stands for.
It is better to ignore the poll, not only Brazil and Argentina are not there, which are two of the favorite teams to win the world cup, Italy is there even if we know that it failed to qualify for a second edition in a row, probably at the time the poll was made it was unthinkable that Italy would not made it to the world cup, but as we know everything can happen in a soccer match, and even teams which may seem to be way above their competition can lose given the right circumstances.
I also never check this poll and now today first time check this thread is also having poll, and it's showing funny stuff with Italy is also in winners list, and we have no Brazil and Argentina which is surely giving impression that OP feeling world cup is again going into Europe as they are controlling this all for last two decades, but things are completely different with Italy is out and Brazil and Argentina both emerged as hot favorite teams for this event.

As we all know it's first event which is going to play in Gulf region and things are currently not good for many teams and fans, so we can expect big upsets as well which is surely not new because we already have many surprises and big teams can eliminate without any big concern so who is going to win this prediction is never easy.

Yes, now many say Portugal can speak more in this edition of the World Cup. And that is expected because there is one of the world's star players that we usually see with the achievements he has achieved. But it's not an easy job for them especially because of the current World Cup the strength of the national team is unpredictable, and I see the strength of the teams that will compete in the World Cup can be said to be evenly distributed.

When we talk about Germany, that is a team that can become world champions but occasionally has really bad matches lately. That wouldn't have happened a few years ago. In Brazil they became world champions and pulverized Brazil with big numbers. 4 years ago in Russia they didn't even make it through the group stage and that was a complete fail. They will want to take revenge. At the European Championship in England they lost to England, but they all played home games. This Germany can also beat anyone. Will be a serious showdown in the group stage against Spain. There they lost 5-0 a while ago? from. And if you come in 2nd in the group, you automatically play against a number 1 from another group. That can be a very difficult draw with a bit of bad luck.

you yourself have already pointed out the disasters that germany has been, honestly i do not see germany as a candidate team to win the world cup and i doubt that germany can get far, something like reaching the semi finals, for this world cup france, brazil and argentina are the favorite teams to win this world cup in my opinion. teams like germany and spain and african teams and some other teams have little chance of getting far, the only teams that i consider strong enough to get far are the 3 teams i mentioned that are argentina, france and brazil

I would not completely agree with you.
I assume that you made your opinion based on the last results of Germany, Spain, England in the League of Nations, but it is a less important competition and the coaches used those matches as preparations for the World Cup.
The World Cup is a very difficult, tiring and uncertain competition. The world champion has to go through 7 very difficult games, in the group and in the knockout phase of the competition, and the champion becomes a team that has a uniform and experienced team, that knows how to play under pressure and is mentally strong.
That is why the chances of Germany, and also of England, Belgium, Spain, Holland etc.  should not be ignored.

If they don't organize it properly, then this "first time" can easily become the "last time". World cup is not a platform where the hosts are allowed to impose their political views and preferences over the fans. Host nations need to treat tourists and fans with respect, because they will be spending huge amounts of money in the country while the tournament gets going. In the previous editions, Russia (2018) and Brazil (2014) successfully ensured that the fans don't face any issues or difficulties. I am not that sure about Qatar this time.

Yes it is the first time where people gathering from all over the world will not be allowed to drink alcohol because of those traditions.The Qatar normally is missing out on a lot of money to be made here but they have money I believe for eternity because they are one of the richest countries in the world so they don't care much.

For the betting though,that is absolutely right,during such event even those people who are not regular gamblers because of the widespread of the event some time they bet little money.My colleagues which don't gamble at all during all year usually they bet on this event for fun and to watch the games and the team they support with more emotions.

Yeah.. the poll doesn't make any sense since the favorite teams are not there. How can anyone exclude Brazil? Argentina's case is debatable, but there is no doubt that they are the only team capable of challenging Brazil at this moment. And now coming to the UEFA teams, none of them are in good shape. Some of the top teams, such as Germany, France and England performed pathetically during the recently concluded UEFA Nations League A. England actually got relegated to the UEFA Nations League B.

David De Gea might not play in the world cup in Qatar since Luis Enrique's list of players for Spain's world cup preparation was missing his name. By now, Kepa Will be pleased if David De Gea misses the world cup, which I hope is not the case since I would want to witness this Manchester United goalkeeper in Qatar.

Good things also comes to an end, is that the end of his career ? Off course not. He'll continue to be a too and world class Goal Keeper.
It's been announced already, the 55 man list brought out by Luis Enrique doesn't include David De Gea and if I'm also correct Sergio Ramos. David De Gea has been in a good form since the arrival of Lisandro Martinez at Manchester United, some sentimental behaviors from Luis Enrique, David should have been included. It's room for him to keep fit for Manchester United then.


 



 Happen to have the statistics with me for a long while now, do anyone else feels good about Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo ? Possibly winning the World 🌍 Cup .......  Hopefully, he'll help Portugal emerge FIFA World Cup winners.
