The problem with Saudi Arabia is all they have is money and they cannot use the potential they have. In fact, one reason for the Saudi Arabia teams to buy superstar players and spend too much money for these players is that they want to be a more powerful country and be a better host for the World Cup in the next years. This can help this country to earn to more money and on the other hand this can help Saudi Arabia to have more and better players in the country and attract more attention.

I agree with you. But I think another reason Saudi Arabia spends a lot of money to recruit veteran superstars is because they want to promote the Saudi Arabian League aka SPL throughout the world and at the same time promote football to all Saudi citizens so that they like football. I think their investment is working. Nowadays, at least people know Al Nasr and Al Hilal and almost everyone knows SPL because there are several superstars like Ronaldo and Neymar. It seems like they really have the ambition to become one of the best football countries in Asia and even the world.

Becoming one of the best countries in the world on football is a big dream that might not come through because their local players cannot secure the world cup for them, and also European competition is more advanced and superior to theirs. It is no doubt that they are improving in football but not to be among the best.

The reason why SPL is signing veteran players from European competition is that they want their country to also be known through football because football is what everyone world wide love than any other sports. This was why they had to bribe Fifa for them to host the world cup in other to expose Saudi Arabia to the world.

Qatar, which has strong finances, should be able to form a good national team squad with the investment they have made. Currently they have done the right thing by promoting football in their country. Qatar is not a football country but they can try to introduce football to the young people there. They can invest to build a world-class football academy. They can also do what Saudi Arabia did by bringing in world-class veteran players. Or they can also build connections with several football clubs in Europe by sending their potential players. Qatar should be able to do anything with the money they have.

Qatar qualification so far has been full of controversy and even during the match against India we could see a controversy about the goal created, so that many parties claimed that Qatar qualification was not purely because of their ability but rather the help of the referee who has often sided with them so far in the Asian qualifiers, but even so, of course, we have to admit that Qatar, which does not have a football culture, is now starting to turn into a country that focuses on football as their main sport, Qatar has formed a league that is indeed fulfilled and requires the presence of European players in the club, so that it will make local talents able to improve their performance and also of course it will be beneficial for the Qatar national team.

We cannot deny that the ability and financial strength that Qatar currently has makes it very easy for them to provide modern facilities and infrastructure to support their football development, so I think in the next few years we may see Qatar and Saudi Arabia become football powers that will indeed be able to compete with countries such as Brazil and Argentina.

Every country has money and political influence. If it was the case that referees could have qualified in the main stage of the World Cup, then there are many rich Asian countries who would have qualified in the main stage of the World Cup through money. There is no chance to feel so bad about the players that Qatar has because even though they were defeated in the World Cup matches, they performed well and were defeated there. If you put people who don't know the game on the field and if you put them on the field and dream of them playing in the main stage of the World Cup, then it would be wrong for us to dream that. Qatar may not be as strong as all the other teams but Qatar is trying to make their football stronger and they will succeed in doing so.

Saudi Arabia make huge investment by signing many top european players to make their competition become more popular and as the way for promoting capital become host of World Cup 2034.
Since signed top players last three years ago, Saudi Pro League competition have been popular right now and many players leaving their career with top European team after receiving most excited payment salary and some players reached the most expensive players since joining with Saudi Pro League team.

But top European players joined Saudi Pro League competition can't help more with Saudi Arabia national team performance in World Cup better, in World Cup 2022 failed in phase group although their performance make us surprised after success defeating Argentina on the first match.

If follow developments, this is very unfortunate condition, the conflict that occurs causes everything to be unable to be managed easily and football, which is the sport most loved by everyone, is also affected by the impact of the conflict that occurs.
Whatever it is, I think most people, especially the countries taking part in the World Cup, will definitely agree with it and indeed FIFA must immediately resolve it to be able to create more comfortable situation as time progresses towards the World Cup competition starting in 2026.
We see what will come out of FIFA decision in the future, what is clear is that if it has good intentions for the 2026 World Cup competition, I sure there won't be many people who will be able to dispute it or debate the results of FIFA decision.
Indeed, this is very difficult condition, there will be one party who will suffer loss and indeed there will be majority who will gain so, FIFA must be able to be fair in resolving it, but on the other hand, I think FIFA will get pressure.

I think it is more about getting consistent rules, that's the hard part. If you ban Russia from the games because they attacked another nation, then not banning Israel would be very tough, because they did attack another nation too, what would be their defense to keep Russia out but keep Israel in?

I am sure that many people will argue, after all there were some differences, but in the end it's still a tough and sensitive one, and not at all agreed by everyone. While some might be pro-Israel, some are pro-Palestine, whereas in Europe most are pro-Ukraine and can't find that many pro-Russian nations to be fair. This is why I think getting a consistent rule would make things easier, and would allow them to draw a line which would make things clearer.

It really should not be a tough decision. Russia had political problems with Ukraine. Russia also actually reached out to the United States and said that they had certain problems going on and certain disagreements with Ukraine being a member of NATO. If I’m not wrong, Ukraine also expanded five times while Russia was saying no. After that they attacked. But on the other hand, Israel has been committing war crimes since the last almost 75 years. Just because some people wanted to retaliate and show Israel that their actions would have consequences doesn’t allow Israel to go and commit genocide. And if FIFA is saying that Russia cannot play in the World Cup, how can they say that Israel can play? Somehow killing innocent babies and defenseless civilians is ok for FIFA?

These teams need to invest in youth divisions, like... starting from an early age in training children and young people, otherwise they will always just be participants in competitions, without aiming for anything other than participation... the future of these teams at world level is to try put sport in people's lives from an early age...and maybe in a few decades Qatar or other teams of lesser importance today could try to play on equal terms against the big teams.

Honestly, the problem is in recent times the people around the Arab area, I am talking about the Saudi, Qatar, and also the Emirates people, have actually become a little weak. It seems like they like to not do any physical hard work. It’s simply like that saying, hard time creates hard men, hard men create soft times, soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times. I think these people are going through a soft time right now. And that has created a lot of soft men who really do not want to work. But that is just my assumption. They are actually promoting football a lot in their country. Let's see if that actually makes a difference or not.

Well, that is one understanding of what has been said, hopefully the decisions taken will be truly fair and will not cause conflict or problems that are much more complicated, however in fact they all have the right to participate.
This is sporting event and it would be very unethical if external problems came in and had negative impact, not only FIFA which was affected but also several other countries competing in the World Cup.

What is clear is that only FIFA can resolve this and they must be able to take firm and truly fair stance in transparent manner without burdening or favoring just one party.
I not really interested in defending one of them but what is clear is that it would be shame if something bad happened when the World Cup competition started.
I hope that the competition can run normally and cleanly, there will not be lot of drama that occurs and bad things that could hinder the smooth running of the World Cup.

To be fair world stuff, basically political stuff, is a very hard one to judge without being in it, and harder to judge when you are in it. Who are the Fifa rule makers or decision makers to ban a team, or unban a team? Like if you ban a team, are you taking their own situation into consideration, how are you so quick to judge, let's take for example Russia, when you ban Russia, why are the players taking the blame for what Putin did.

But also, if you look other side, if you unban Russia, then which Ukrainian did you ask for it first? They are still dying for that matter, so how can you unban them.

This isn't really Fifas job to judge wars all around the world, they are not responsible for making decisions at all, that wouldn't be fine. Nations could get together as a whole, all of them have federations, and make it democratic and vote accordingly.

2022 World Cup was hosted by Qatar and they invested huge amount of money there. Qatar invests a lot of money behind football and yet their team does poorly in the World Cup tournament because Qatar does not have players in its pipeline like the big European teams who can support the team. As in Brazil, football is constantly being produced in Qatar, but not like this, that is why Qatar cannot perform significantly well in the World Cup

Qatar is not a country with a good football culture like Brazil. So for now I think it is still difficult for them to compete at the world cup level. But I see the Qatari government really cares about Qatari football and with their wealth they are really investing in football by hosting the 2022 world cup as well as hosting the AFC 2023. They have also invested in several football training camps there. Qatar will become one of the strongest countries in the world of football but this will take quite a long time because it takes years to build a strong football culture in a country.

First of all, Qatar qualified from the Asian region to play in the main stage of the World Cup. It is definitely a big achievement for them because India has tried hard but has not been able to participate in the main stage of the football world cup so far. Since they have so much potential, they can take their potential to a better level. As Qatar has been doing a lot with their football, it would not surprise us if Qatar does well in the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournaments. Qatar may now be trying to strengthen their country's football pipeline, which is why they have hired experienced coaches at the field level to find talented footballers. If they try and spend enough money, Qatar will be one of the strongest teams in football.

As a host Qatar performance in World Cup 2022 is compeletely messed up because their final position at the bottom of group standings because Qatar gets 3 losing streak but i think Qatar can learn from their previous mistakes and they improved a lot and the latest proof is Qatar has done well in Asia because currently they are defending champion of Asian Cup but they want more and they were targetting to participant on world cup 2026 and lately Qatar was succeed to advances to the 3rd round after finish at first place of Group Standings on 2nd stages

We are still wait for drawing stages on June 27 and Qatar was into pot 2 with Australia and Iraq and about their chances to advances to the world cup think it's very wide open considering for Asia there will be additional quotas for the current world cup moreover Qatar will into easy group on 3rd round but indeed maybe if Qatar can able to the world cup i think similar to other Asian Teams that i think it's hard for them to compete with other strong teams from Europa and South America teams

Although Asians do well in cricket, Asian countries do not perform very well in football. A few countries from Asia qualified for the FIFA World Cup and most of the countries that played in the main stage of the World Cup were eliminated from the group stage. Only Japan and South Korea performed slightly better than other Asian teams, still qualifying for the quarter-finals was the highest achievement.

No, the highest performance in the World Cup for an Asian nation is the semi-finals in 2002 edition hosted by Japan/Korea. South Korea made it to the semi-finals defeating teams like Poland, Portugal, Italy, and Spain. Africa also has a single country that has gone to the semi-finals when Morocco surprised the world with an exceptional performance in the last World Cup.

I don't think Qatar invested so much in the World Cup because they want their national team to win the competition. The Maroons is not a team that could compete with big football nations. Qatar hosted the competition for other reasons like publicity, business, and global acceptance. Most Islamic nations are trying to modernize and showcase themselves as a potential tourist and business hub. They don't have good players and their society is not friendly to migrants. Most countries depend on migrants in their national teams

If you look at the current FIFA rankings, based on the official FIFA website, Portugal is ranked 6th in the world and 4th in Europe. That is not a small number and it does not make sense to say that Portugal is a small team if you look at their ranking. I wonder why there are some people who say Portugal is a small team in football just because they haven't won any world cups. When they won Euro 2016 they were ranked 8th in FIFA.

If there is a small team that is surprisingly capable of winning the Euros then I think it is Denmark and Greece. I don't think anyone thought they would win the Euros at that time. In my opinion, what makes someone think that Portugal is a small team is because of the high expectations of the public or because they brought in players who are not well-known enough in the big European leagues. Correct me if I'm wrong.

FIFA ranking won't tell you everything you need to know. In fact, there are many teams with good ranking in FIFA ranking but they are not good enough. I think still Portugal is not a good team to even win the World Cup at least they can't do that with the current team they have because Portugal is nothing if they don't have Ronaldo in the team.
We recently saw them losing the game against Croatia when they didn't use Ronalod while they won the game against Irland with Ronaldo in the team which is a great weakness in Portugal.

2022 World Cup was hosted by Qatar and they invested huge amount of money there. Qatar invests a lot of money behind football and yet their team does poorly in the World Cup tournament because Qatar does not have players in its pipeline like the big European teams who can support the team. As in Brazil, football is constantly being produced in Qatar, but not like this, that is why Qatar cannot perform significantly well in the World Cup

Qatar is not a country with a good football culture like Brazil. So for now I think it is still difficult for them to compete at the world cup level. But I see the Qatari government really cares about Qatari football and with their wealth they are really investing in football by hosting the 2022 world cup as well as hosting the AFC 2023. They have also invested in several football training camps there. Qatar will become one of the strongest countries in the world of football but this will take quite a long time because it takes years to build a strong football culture in a country.

I have heard that FIFA is still not certain about the participation of Israel in the World Cup 2026. I saw somewhere that they are seeking "expert help" or something like that about this. I do not understand how they can just directly say that Russia is not going to participate in the World Cup but hesitate about Israel. They are literally committing genocide. And somehow FIFA is not concerned about it as much as they were concerned about Russia invading Ukraine. Ukraine actually have the support of the USA and other big countries and also getting support in terms of military aid and other aid as well. However the Palestinian people are being deprived of basic human rights. Israel is literally killing children and civilians by targeting children and civilians. It's not like they are trying to kill military personnel and the civilian deaths are just the casualties. No, they are literally targeting and killing babies. But for some reason, FIFA is not sure what to do.

Hopefully FIFA can set the same rules, without making distinctions or in other words without using double standards. It is reported that FIFA has received several proposals regarding the request to suspend the Israeli national team from any competition, and will follow up and decide on them next July at an extraordinary congress.

If FIFA does not act in the same way towards Israel, their image will be bad in the eyes of the world, and of course the Russian national team will be the disadvantaged here. I think everyone understands this, without exception, sometimes we need to open our eyes, to see the situation fairly. Of course, football which has nothing to do with politics, but what it did to Russia, FIFA should also do to Israel.

If follow developments, this is very unfortunate condition, the conflict that occurs causes everything to be unable to be managed easily and football, which is the sport most loved by everyone, is also affected by the impact of the conflict that occurs.
Whatever it is, I think most people, especially the countries taking part in the World Cup, will definitely agree with it and indeed FIFA must immediately resolve it to be able to create more comfortable situation as time progresses towards the World Cup competition starting in 2026.
We see what will come out of FIFA decision in the future, what is clear is that if it has good intentions for the 2026 World Cup competition, I sure there won't be many people who will be able to dispute it or debate the results of FIFA decision.
Indeed, this is very difficult condition, there will be one party who will suffer loss and indeed there will be majority who will gain so, FIFA must be able to be fair in resolving it, but on the other hand, I think FIFA will get pressure.

If you look at the current FIFA rankings, based on the official FIFA website, Portugal is ranked 6th in the world and 4th in Europe. That is not a small number and it does not make sense to say that Portugal is a small team if you look at their ranking. I wonder why there are some people who say Portugal is a small team in football just because they haven't won any world cups. When they won Euro 2016 they were ranked 8th in FIFA.
