In last three decades we have too much money involved in sports just because of this now these sports organizations are completely changing their way of business and doing many wrong things which are not acceptable still running into them as we all now money is coming fluently which is important for weak and small countries as well, but they need to work on few things which are very important because if they are not going to do better things for changes then surely mafias are going to take good control which is surely never been ideal situation for sports and this game.

Now fair policy and sportsmanship things are part of books or old now money is having good power as many decisions are implementing just because of more money and power talent is going into backside with quality is improving with money which is also having decline in quality for many countries, and now they are suffering badly as moneymakers are doing their own business and having good profit with all trophies and best achievements.

I would say that football as a sport is popular, both individual players and clubs, not the organization itself.
FIFA favors big and powerful national teams, and it is obvious to everyone that Russia and Qatar did not get the organization of the world championships in a completely transparent and fair way.
FIFA as an organization spends money in a completely non-transparent manner. Don't forget that the last presidents of FIFA and UEFA, Blatter and Platini, were accused of corruption and misuse of money removed from their positions.

More about FIFA's crooked, bend rules and against sportsmanship just for money. International league or organization like FIFA has become really disgusted. No more sportsmanship to unite the world and connect countries, different people, cultures, and beliefs,... all set aside for sport. Someone has a different value, worships different gods, wears a different cloth, and such but once the game is on, things like that don't matter, everyone is welcome.

But no, FIFA doesn't care about enforcing that sportsmanship and unity anymore, all about the money now. Rich countries can now do whatever they want to push and flex their power, for the agenda just because they can with money thanks to FIFA's crooked.

I think there is a lot of evidence that proves that Qatar did in fact bought the World Cup, however one of the main reasons to host the World Cup is not only the prestige to do so but the economy gains that you can get with it, to try to limit the consumption of alcohol is going to be a big mistake, so I have no doubts that at least when it comes to the foreigners that come to visit the country the regulations are going to be relaxed during the event and once the event is over they will go back to their previous regulations and forbid the consumption of alcohol.

Well, I also think the same as you, for my other generation to come out like these two is very difficult, now the replacement generation is in charge of Haaland, of Mbappé and I think that these players do not have enough level to reach that of Messi and CR7, the only thing missing for them is to have or lift a world cup, this year could be the world cup for CR7 or for Messi, although Messi has let go of a world cup final, that at that moment he was so disappointed and what he said that he was going to retire from football, at that time Barcelona made him change his mind, and it is because of this that he still gives us those master moves at PSG, I sincerely would like Portugal to win because of the series of rudeness they have given CR7 .


Well you have to understand something, FIFA has always had a very broad business model, many acts of corruption were discovered, fixed matches, drug cases that were allowed to pass, a whole world of corruption, and there must still be some acts, but that it is more difficult to discover them, everything is more armored, however I have seen corruption even with the VAR itself when they have robbed some teams until the classification due to favoritism that now is not worth mentioning, I only know that there is still corruption, and I don't only in football in all sports is there corruption, the football business has a lot of money involved, and this is something that is unfortunately above sport.

There is no doubt FIFA is commercial company, and they are doing this all very good because with this they are having enough funds and good marketing which is helping them for having enough funds and other facilities which are giving them good access to all other things which are fruitful for this game soccer, and they are also good in their system and rules which are helping to stay completely neutral in many cases and if any federation is doing anything wrong they are capable of ban them even punish for better results for others and going strong into their system which is very important for this game's development.

Just no FIFA is the most corrupt organization we have too many but right now they are world's most popular, so peoples have more updates about this and I agree with their this all way of business because this is good for game and future of this game.

Probably corruption and greed have always existed on the backgrounds, although it didn't look widespread like right now, but I believe before athletes played for the passion for their clubs and countries, even because it wasn't a very profitable career, but now they play solely for money. Each nation had its own playstyle and it was nice to see the World Cup because it was an opportunity for the world to compare the quality and the differences between each country. The soccer we have nowadays is pretty standardized, because the techniques are the same used by everyone. Countries and regions have lost their original footprints and instead of improving it, they have adopted an external common playstyle common to everyone.

Brazil coach Tite did the list for the last 2 friendly matches before the cup, it's probably 90% of the list that will go to the cup
The matches will be against Ghana and Tunisia, 23th and 27th September, both will play world cup and we can have some clues about the teams in general

Goal - Alisson, Ederson, Weverton
Laterals - Danilo, Alex Sandro, Alex Telles
Defense - Bremer, Éder Militão, Marquinhos, Ibañez e Thiago Silva
Mid - Bruno Guimarães, Casemiro, Éverton Ribeiro, Fabinho, Fred, Lucas Paquetá
Atack - Antony, Firmino, Matheus Cunha, Neymar, Pedro, Raphinha, Richarlison, Rodrygo e Vini Jr

Some of these players won the Olympic games like Neymar, Matheus Cunha, Antony and Richarlison.
Rodrygo and Vini Jr are playing well in Real Madrid and helped the team to be the champion.

I'm confident with this list, this is the new generation of players, not too old but with lot of experience playing in Europe leagues.

The odds for Brazil are 6 x 1 and the favorite.

These allegations are not new because we have too many cases for these things where many committees sit by FIFA and others, but they never prove things like this because we all know how they are doing these things and taking results which they want even in UEFA we have too many cases related to things like this, but they all are eating and doing with mutual understanding and same happening in case of FIFA where mostly they are using personal relationships and money for having decisions for their own sack.

But sadly for things like this which are happening in Qatar no one can do anything positive now they have to accept local rules and gone with them as it's just matter of few days, and then they will be back to their countries and can enjoy by their own rules.

The same doubts existed in the case of awarding the World Cup to Russia 2018 and of course FIFA covered everything up and nothing happened.
FIFA is actually a commercial company and the only thing they are interested in is the expected earnings from the World Cup, and Russia and Qatar obviously offered more money than other competitors, and that was the only thing that mattered in the decision-making process.
Sports motives, honesty, fight against corruption? Don't be ridiculous, FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world, just look at who the members of the FIFA executive committee are and everything will be clear to you 
Football is no longer just a sport, but exclusively a business.

Agreed. World Cup hosting rights were granted to Qatar in a hurry and without much introspection from the part of FIFA. Even back then, there were allegations that the Qatari officials were openly bribing poor members to vote in their favor. And ever since they won the bidding, there have been serious allegations of mistreatment of migrant workers and LGBT individuals within Qatar. FIFA has taken no action to this date, to ensure that adequate compensation is provided to the close to 6,000 migrant workers who died during the construction of world cup stadiums.

I believe FIFA knew about the problems regarding the laws it would face in Qatar, but most likely that country must deposit a lot of money in the hands of powerful people within FIFA, that's why they decided to make the games happen there.
Now that everything is set, FIFA is trying to make the laws more flexible, but I don't believe they will succeed.
Qatar is a strong, rich country with very influential people, so the games must take place respecting local rules.

The same way the country is sovereign on its decisions on what is better for their people, the federation of FIFA is also sovereign on its values and principles. If a country doesn't respect or follow those values and principles of the federation, FIFA shouldn't host any events on that country to not hurt their convictions and what they believe. I think it's contradictory to defend the country setting their own rules, while attempting to force others (in this case FIFA) to agree and indirectly endorse those rules. Not that FIFA is concerned about any of these points, as profit is everything what matters for them.

a big problem is that there will be a lot of money flowing in and only one or two people who complain about certain things will not be able to do anything about it, especially when the officials are even going to be paid quite well
unless it is a problem that is raised by a large number of people and unless something is done so that FIFA actually has to react to it, nothing is going to change

i think FIFA is going to play it safe by saying that they are giving a country that isn't that good at football the opportunity to host the world cup and through that, they are probably going to get a lot more interested in the game as a result, there is no doubt that the truth is known by all of us

This is completely nonsense why these countries are not allowed for this every country is having right for applying and going with their own rules and laws and FIFA or any other sports authority can do anything like this for banning countries those are strict about their laws regarding alcohol, homosexuality and sex outside marriage you are not going there for long time it is just matter of three or four weeks and just because of these crap things you want nothing entertainment happen in these countries are not good.

As they already announce few updates about alcohol and other things we all need to accept this and as this is matter of honor for any country he is going to do this all so fans and players can do adjustment for few days, and then they have right done things which they want to do after end of event in their own country if FIFA or any other sports authority will bring any rule or law for banning these countries then surely they can suffer badly for these shit things.

Regards the criticisms Qatar and this edition of World Cup are suffering, I think first of all it is FIFA's fault, because they knew or at least should know the local rules, culture and traditions of the Qatarian society before announcing the country would held the event this year. Since many of the local laws such as alcohol, homosexuality and sex outside of marriage prohibitions are frowned up by another participant nations, and I would say most of them, the event shouldn'd happen in Qatar, because of course a part of those guidelines will have to be followed even by foreigners. And it was FIFA which created this situation.

My thoughts as well. As we all know, there was massive controversy, when the world cup hosting rights were granted to Qatar in the first place. Now if the fans complain in the end, then FIFA may be more reluctant to give hosting rights to such countries in the future. Qatar officials are thinking that they will showoff with all their petrodollar wealth and that will stop people from complaining. But in the end, there will be at least a few brave people who are not blinded by all that wealth. Jordan Henderson and Gareth Southgate from England have already made their concerns public.

That may be the case in Qatar, but the Muslim population being is the largest religion in Qatar, I think alcohol will probably be prohibited there. But we know that the power of money can change everything and I'm curious if that's the case in Qatar or will revise it. The World Cup is a prestigious event that attracts many industries who want to promote their products and is one of the great opportunities they have. They are willing to pay expensive promotion fees at the World Cup.

To be honest, I'm not really interested in the discussion about beer or alcohol which is the theme of this discussion.

I'm not really interested in knowing how this mechanism will work, anyway I wasn't there when the world cup match started.  however the management of qatar itself has relaxed some of the rules regarding what is a problem with beer and allows it in certain areas and certain hours some examples have been explained by @sithara007.

However, I think after all every country has a different culture that everyone should respect, especially for those who will witness the world cup performances this year.
The important thing is that the spirit of football continues to unite all nations.
