They will have enough money in Qatar, but such bribery scandals are too striking. Then players would have to consciously make mistakes, you can't do something like that inconspicuously. And what about the money the players get? Then there would be bank transfers or a large sum of money at once. Players from both Ecuador and Qatar also have a great sense of honor, you don't often hear about bribery at a World Cup. But when players are bribed, it is often because bets are being placed on those matches. Since that wouldn't be the issue right now, you could get away with it. But looking at the level of the first game, I think it was the other way around
seems that the rumour may not be true after all. we have seen how the game went down. so maybe, certain people or entities just wanted to spread the false news of this bribery. we don't know, especially if there was large sum of money involved. this is why, just trust your instincts esp. if you are betting your own money. we can't trust the hearsays. they usually turned out to be fake.
It is also possible that the agreement is on and the bribe money has already been given but due to this leaked news, the agreement is called off. We may have a different view on this since we really don't know the truth. Only the people involved and witnesses know if the rumors that circulate are true or not.
As the rumor create a huge ruckus at the sporting event, I think the source of the gossip where the rumors came is now being searched. The person will probably face defamation charges and possibly be given the penalty and probably need to pay on the damage it creates.
Politics and Sport are two different things and that is what FIFA has always kick against, no racism, no religion and no favouritism but it seems the more they try to avoid this things, the more they occur which makes me to remember the speech made by Morgan Freeman in the World Cup ground opening. he asked the boy that "what bring us together today here is bigger than what divide us and how long could we make it last?'' and the Qatar boy recite some quran a reference that it is through respect and tolerance, this message was made to counter this kind of rumours and hate among us.
Football has unite us all irrespective of our religion, respect other people religions and culture, we can't attack them because of their culture and looking at their performance so far, they will not be making it out in the group stage, just free Qatar and lets enjoy football for just this 1 month.
True! Politics and sports are two different things because in politics there are no sports while in sports there are lots of politics.
. No matter how hard FIFA denies that there is no politics in their sports, the governing itself is called politics. Please see the definition of politics.
