Previously, such a historical pattern was with the European Championship, there were no exceptions, but in 2008 and 2012 Spain broke the pattern. So I wouldn't rely on history when betting - in fact there is no correlation that would prevent the previous champion from repeating its success. I would even say that the champion (the team cannot accidentally become the champion in the vast majority of cases) has more chances, since it was already the strongest.

Yeah, historical data is a bit unreliable. For example, Italy didn't qualify for this world cup, but the last time that happened was in 1958. Most people would have assumed Italy would qualify and make a bet that shows that.

On the other hand, Brazil has qualified for every single world cup, and they qualified for this one unbeaten. History does have some weight, I would say Brazil is one of the best teams in the world cup.

But then again, from time to time the unexpected might happen. That's partly why football is so entertaining. Even the best team can lose to the worst team because of one mistake. You don't see that in some other sports in which one mistake doesn't matter too much.

Looks like your data is a bit out of date ;-) Check out how Italy performed at the World Cup 2018 and you will be surprised. But by the way, this is also a good example - after all, Italy consistently got into the finals of the World Cup and no one could have imagined that in 18 and 22 years it would collapse. And obviously this had nothing to do with the quality of the game of the Italian national team - in 2020 they became European champions and then in 2021 they took third place in the League of Nations. It turns out that this result was completely illogical and unpredictable, but it happened as many as two times in a row.

I can guarantee we'll hear about at least a few cases of people deported or thrown in jail...

Adultery is punishable by death in Qatar (same with homosexuality as well). Theoretically any of the unmarried couples can be arrested and sentenced to death. However, this law is not very strictly implemented, especially for Western tourists. However, such couples may face difficulties, in case they need to access medical services or health insurance. A few years back, one woman was arrested after she got pregnant, since she was not married at that time. Anyway, all I am saying is that Westerners need to be careful while being in Qatar.

I think this is just a matter of western culture that is used to their free life, if they want to be respected as tourists then there is nothing wrong with complying with the policies that exist in that country, what's more, that country that we know is a Muslim country that adheres to its religion. , why is there a problem when it is clear that they know that Qatar is a country with a population of almost 100% Muslims, so why not respect the procedures that have been in place for a long time, even though the World Cup was held there at least we can understand what the government is doing , I support the policy of Qatar which does not allow the rainbow flag to be flown or promote it and adultery in the State of Qatar, because every country has the right to its own country..

I think that anyone who visits any country in the world should adapt to that country's nation way of living and their laws. Nations and countries all over the world are quite different and one can't say that his way of living is better just because he or she is used to it. If something is against the law in Qatar, then don't do it. It doesn't matter if you agree with the law or not.

Even though the world cup will be held in Qatar, of course there will be many pros and cons, from the west which is true with their free lifestyle, actually this is just a matter of regulation, what's more, this show is held in a Muslim country, it doesn't mean we are presumptuous immigrants to people's homes, of course we must have good manners, I hope there is a solution to the problem of visitor rights or obeying the existing regulations in that country, so that this world cup show continues to run well and successfully...

Australia team has issued a video condemning the human rights abuses in Qatar, becoming the first participants to do so. I appreciate the courage shown by the Australians, when stronger teams such as Germany and England have remained silent on this issue.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63407407
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63066393

In the video message, the Australian players criticized Qatar's inhuman treatment of migrant workers and LGBT people. The video is available here:

https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/watch-statement-socceroos

BTW, players from nine of the UEFA nations will wear One Love armbands during the tournament, to protest Qatar's treatment of LGBT people. Also, Danmark players will be wearing "toned down" jersey to protest the human rights abuses. 

It's interesting to read that as Australia has similar issues with migrants:

Backpackers described backbreaking work at farms around the country, toiling in 40C heat without enough water or proper health and safety training. Some had their passports taken away or employers blackmailing them by refusing to sign off days worked.

I'm a little curious about the live television broadcast of the World Cup match later in every country. Are television stations in your country broadcasting live World Cup matches for free? or do you have to pay TV subscription?

In my country, usually live broadcasts of the World Cup can only be enjoyed for free using UHF and Digital signals. while using a satellite signal via satellite dish is not free or paid. I want to know. is it the same in other countries?

In my country it will be broadcast for free, which will allow the delight of not missing a long-awaited event like the 2022 World Cup, this event is as important as it is unusual due to the fact that it is held in the winter season to avoid the high temperatures of the weather from Qatar. I find it extraordinary that television stations give the possibility for all soccer fans to watch and support their team from a distance.

You can find a detailed list of the 2022 FIFA World Cup broadcasters and Media Rights Licensees here: https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/203f2697ad928edb/original/FIFA-World-Cup-Qatar-2022-Media-Rights-Licensees.pdf

As far as I can see, most countries (especially in Europe) will be able to watch the 2022 World Cup for free on their public broadcasters (as it is the case with most major football competitions). For example, in my country, we can watch all the matches of the FIFA World Cup or UEFA Euro championships for free - either through a free-to-air digital TV signal, or through a live stream online, thanks to our national television broadcaster. Although, as slackovic mentioned, we do have a mandatory monthly TV subscription, but this is due to the legislation on financing national television.


Excellent link, thanks for that document.

Yes, many national channels have the rights. But there's also private companies, like beIN Sports, etc, so it's a bit of a mix. Some countries will get full free access while others will have to pay.

In my country all residents who have a TV must pay a subscription for the national television. It's mandatory by law. They will broadcast all national team's matches and other interesting matches. It has been like that since I remember.
In my country, previously we used to have such a system. Private sports channels were forced to share the live content with the national broadcaster (and that too without any payment). The only thing that the private channels got in return is that all the advertisements that are shown by them need to be shown by the national TV as well. But after a while the private channels complained, since they were spending such large amounts to get exclusive access to the live content, and therefore this arrangement was cancelled.
Yeah, this kind of agreement doesn't make sense because why should anyone have to pay a subscription fee if they are not watching a national TV program? But unfortunately where I come from people don't have a choice but to pay for the national TV subscription.

Oh... I forgot to add. National TV is completely free here. So we don't need to pay any subscription fee, if we are watching the national broadcaster. But then, it is detrimental for the cable channels. If large number of people chose to watch the live sporting events on national TV, then they will lose out on both subscription fee and advertisement revenue. But then, the quality in national TV is not that great and only those without access to cable TV usually depend on the free channel. Anyway, it's all history. The arrangement was cancelled many years back.
Likewise national TV is free here in our country
But the quality of video is not good - Most of the people watch it online.

Yes, I also think that many players are getting ready to play in the world cup. But in this world cup, we will see a different kind of game. I think that the new players will play very well in the world cup.  It is not understood that the team will play well in the world cup. It is not too late to start the world cup and it will start very soon.

I disagree. Actually I believe that it is the veteran players who are going to do well in this edition of the world cup. I am talking about players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski and Gareth Bale. On the other hand, this time I am not hearing much about the younger players. And some of the most promising younger players, such as Erling Haaland and Giacomo Raspadori won't be participating in this edition of the world cup, as their teams haven't managed to qualify.
Veteran players or young players who will appear in this World Cup will attract attention with their respective styles. I can't compare who will do well, but I believe that they will do their best and put on an interesting match. Besides, I don't really think about it myself because I prefer to enjoy what kind of football they will play, especially the collaboration between seniors and young players in this edition.

It sounds too strict. We pay for TV subscriptions monthly, but it is not mandatory. There are free channels also that you can watch without any form of subscriptions, but TV Subscriptions give you access to more options on your TV. For worldwide events like the world cup, it is usually broadcasted both on the subscribed and free channels which is think is okay because these kinds of activities contribute to the social welfare of people in a country, and since it is also a responsibility of the government to assist in ensuring that the social welfare of citizens in a country, this is something that they can give freely, people don't always have to pay for everything. Countries especially that their national team is playing in the world cup, free airing should be normalized for the duration of the world cup.

Just to be clear... Everyone in my country can plug an antenna and watch free national and few private televisions that broadcast for free. The problem is that the law says that everyone who owns a TV or a radio has to pay small fee out of which the national TV is financed.

Whoever is thinking on going to the world cup needs to at least make an effort to research the most common things that are allowed where they live but which are illegal at Qatar, after all whether they agree or disagree with them it is the law and if they do not want to have their experience ruined it is important to follow the law, since going to jail is already bad enough, but it is many times worse if you happen to go to jail in a foreign country.

I don't think it's just for the world cup, if we're someone who likes to travel abroad.

at least, we must first find references regarding places and destinations, culture and all that, this is important for someone who will be traveling. moreover in this case the destination is Qatar, where they have rules and culture that are very different from the west.
something that must be respected for visitors who travel to the place.
as for the world cup, at least as you say. someone who wants to watch this world cup event firsthand, should first study the local culture and the laws that pass so as not to make mistakes that violate the regulations in the area.
