There's so much allegations against Qatar that some of it has to be true. For instance they promised to allow alcohol at the stadium, gathered sponsorship money from beer companies and then banned them anyway. This shows that the people who manage the championship are liars and cannot be trusted.
Then there were rumors that they're paying people to create fake crowds at the stadium and cheer for their team.
Now we have rumors of bribes that Qatar is denying, but should we believe them with all the things going on?
I pity the people who paid to go there.
Topic: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match - page 6. (Read 1825 times)
First of all, to win a match you bribe an official, not a player, because unless you manage to bribe the entire team, even 1 suspicious teammate will bring the whole effort down. 1 official is enough. That was such a dumb news.
if they succeed in bribing a number of core teams of course it will also be difficult if Ecuador will not score goals let alone manage to bribe the main striker, I think that also has an effect, but again maybe it's just fake news and as hosts Qatar really plays well, no anyone knows the truth, all will be seen in a few hours when the game startsFew hours more to for the match to begin maybe like an hour more to see how the games turns out but I believe Qatar is the more competent side to win the match, I would like to watch the opening ceremony. Apart from the rumours of match fixing, the opening ceremony is having many artists to open the event with their show of artistry.
Today is the opening and the match against Qatar and Ecuador, since this news broke out, the world will watch how the game will proceed, and the world will be observant of both teams if they will deliberately fix the game and if there are true to the news that Qatar really bribe some players of Ecuador/
Our country has never been a part of these events because football is not popular here in our country, but this is the number one sport in the world and this is a big concern for participants and supporters of this event that is held every four years.

we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.
It is going to be the most controversial world cup event held, not just corrupt. I said controversial because there are going to be more revelations on what the country does not want or what it wants FIFA to do more. Already we heard about the ban on alcohol at the world cup by Qatar. It feels it can do anything it wants because it has the ticket and the world cup starts today. Qatar knows FIFA can not back out now even when the conditions are not favourable to them.
It's one of those hot news, and you can find in almost all the Newspapers.
It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the wold cup opener. And this isn't weird to me, i mean if they already pay a shit ton of money to have the world cup in their country then we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.

If this story is true then it is a shame for Ecuador that they are not representing their country and selling themselves to Qatar for some money. But still it is not right to make any bad comments by believing it. Because it will be understood on the field of play that they are playing with their enough effort or they are acting fake. Because if you're familiar with Ecuador team, you'll know for yourself how they're playing and what to expect from them.

I don't want to defend Qatar's issues with human rights etc as they are all out there but I really think the media has nothing better to do than to distract people from the real big problems that plague all nations. After all, because of World Cup, Qatar has been improving conditions for people there. My own country has many people working there and they agree, if not because of WC attention things would never have improved.
And as RealMalatesta said, if any other Europe team gets offer from rich state to buy their club and spend 100s of millions on new players without needing to borrow money, they would kiss the feet. See Newcastle fans after they got bought, suddenly all wearing the Arabic headgear happily.
So I don't want to defend any criminal but I really am getting tired of the double standards. Players talking about Qatar abuse played happily in Russia 4 years ago

Right now odds pays x3.26 if Qatar win, i know is a risky bet but i'm almost sure they will win. Will you place bets on this game after knowing about the bribe?
Qatar continues to be hit by negative issues even before the world cup starts, I think Qatar might not have any trouble paying the opposing team to give in but it looks like this will be very risky for the progress of football and also Qatar pride, I don't want to judge whether it is true or not that news because fully I just hope that this year world cup will run smoothly, I think there are many negative issues circulating from the western media such as only aiming to disgrace Qatar or maybe this is just political in nature because previously Qatar has stipulated a ban on LGBT and also alcohol for players or spectators who come to their country?It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the wold cup opener.

Before the FIFA Soccer World Cup 2010... South Africa paid $10 000 000 to FIFA officials to host the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-04-18-the-2010-soccer-world-cup-led-to-massive-fraud-and-corruption-within-law-enforcement-agencies-johan-booysen/
Guess what happened before Russia and Qatar got the Soccer World Cup? - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/sports/soccer/qatar-and-russia-bribery-world-cup-fifa.html
So.... is this news about the opening match a surprise? No!! it is not..... it is just one huge "show" and a pot of corruption. How many of the other games are being bought by the highest bidder?

If that's true then it's worse for football and remember what happened to some of the bribery cases I think this will be investigated if true, again if true, and I quite doubt it's true don't think Qatar will damage their reputation with corrupt behavior this is because they have spent so much money for this tournament so it's a bit impossible that they will ruin all their hard work just because they want to look great and win matches where their people might realize that they are one of the weakest teams not only in this World Cup but also in the group
Damage? Qatar literally bribed Fifa to host this world cup, then ended up killing THOUSANDS of people to build the stadiums, enslaved them, not even allowed them to speak to their families when something happened, all those workers weren't even compensated, neither their families, many injured, and you think that their reputation could be damaged?I tell you what, if an English team goes up on sale, and a person from Qatar wants to buy it, English fans will line up to kiss their feet so that they can get some money and success. Look at Newcastle, they got a literal murderer and someone who ignores human rights, and yet they loved it when he bought the club so they can see some success.
You really know Football and World Cup and the many corruptions attached to it, its the number one sports event and this is the prestigious sport in the world, so expect corruption but I'm surprised how corrupt the system is, and how countries will do everything to get into the top standing, there are still a lot of corruptions here that the general public is not aware of, maybe an independent media should do a documentary about this so they get exposed and there will be a call to revamp the system.

Match fixes are quite common with that and there is even a documentary about it in Netflix, so you just know that if they have that they have substantial evidence with how corrupt it is in general. Having it titled as FIFA uncovered, it already says, corrupt I think. Lol
They are quite common but I don't believe with such a high profile event such as this one that only occurs every 4 years it happening.If there is any corruption then I would assume the proper actions would be taken if there is any clear evidence of colluding with match fixing for the host.
The odds were 3.25x earlier today for Qatar but last I looked they have been increasing by 0.10x every so often.
So I don't think people are buying into the news of anything like this is actually happening. Especially for the very first match of the tournament.
I really don't think people are buying it and they shouldn't either, I'm sure there are even be bigger parties (like odds maker) at play that would put even more than that on the one the line to get a fair tournament.
As I always say, that these days the bigger the event the lesser the chances of it being fixed, perhaps I'm just that naive. If they're able to buy their way against Ecuador, and it's probably easier for some people to believe for such simply because how they probably rate the Ecuador team, I mean no disrespect to the aforementioned team and theirs, but would the story and amount in question if they were playing against a team like Brazil, Engalnd or France where most of their players are earning close or more than what each of those supposedly bribed players would have gotten from that money in less than a month at their various clubs.

For me after all of this news im honestly confused. I have Ecuador to win but now im confused and dont know what will happen. Now probobly the players of Ecuador are scared so even if the bribe was real that wont happen now. So really looking forward to seeing what will happen
I didn't expect World Cup to start this way with bribing of players, but this was always happening in all competitions.
Maybe it's good that this news was exposed and published, players could reject any deals they made previously, and this should be investigated later.

if this is just a rumor, then i can say, where there's smoke, there's fire. we may not see the proof but such issue will stick to the minds of the people. not a good start, but i believe, the winner for this world cup will do their best to achieve such title. we may see anomalies if we will look hard about the performance of each country as compared to their previous performance. but of course, it depends also on the lineup of their athletes.

Yeah, lets not jump ahead of ourselves. It's being reported by newspapers, rather than reputable sources. Until it's proven, we won't know. At the moment, it's just allegations, and there's no way that they've already proven this.
It's a Qatar, so there's going to be all sorts of drama's over the next month. We already know what's happened prior to the event, which has obviously fuelled these allegations, and I suspect it won't be the last. I do think there needs to be a thorough investigation done to the people who died building the stadiums, that goes without saying. However, I'm not just going to believe allegations based on that.
I am still neutral here about Qatar and maybe you are right that we will see a lot of drama during the event. I will not immediately believe that these bribery allegations are true until proven by a direct investigation by FIFA.It's a Qatar, so there's going to be all sorts of drama's over the next month.

Well, there is no evidence of the transaction that will prove that Qatar bribed those 8 players. If there is no proof then it is just a rumor. Not because many news articles picked up on that malicious tweet, it is true. So it is right to just be on a neutral stance here unless the person who tweeted produces evidence that will prove his tweet to be true. I bet, that person will be facing criminal charges soon.
Despite all these accusations, I believe that football always involves money, but it may not involve the state directly, but certain individuals who have an interest. However, we will get to know the facts later because now no one should need to believe in unproven accusations.
Game fixing already exists in sports whatever it is kind. It is that the agreement and process are kept secret so there are only a few cases[1] that were known to the public.

It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the world cup opener.
If Qatar could bribe Equador for the first game, it is also likely that they bribed their way through to win the rights to host this world cup. I thought they were a really religious country with strict rules. If they really bribed their way through and made this bribe to Equador players, then they are just mere hypocrites. Bribing will not get them far since they cannot and it is impossible to give bribe to all the team that are in the world cup to represent.I really don't believe the accusation and even if the result would turnout to be in favor of the Qataris with the 1 Nil predicted scoreline, I would still love to believe that it was just all a mere coincidence, that we all come about when making predictions and bets, I supposed there is way on the line not just for the players or team in question and $7.4 million despite being a significant some in even first world countries, in exchange for winning the match, seem way more less to the damaged and unrest that such an antics would cause to the already controversial winter-hosting of the event.
I also heard this news but I'm still not sure about the truth, therefore I still believe Qatar will win with a narrow score of 1 - 0 against Ecuador later in the opening ceremony of the world cup because this is a prestigious event, of course Qatar wants its country to qualify for the last 16, soon world cup is about to start
There have been numerous rumors spreading regarding Qatar buying off FIFA officials. I sincerely hope that Qatar did not buy the match. For many of those Ecuadorian footballers, $7 million is a huge sum of money. But if Qatar actually did that, it wouldn't surprise me. Despite this, my bet is on Ecuador to win the game, if you ask me. Because of how weak their team is, Qatar will not move on to the next round of the competition.It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the world cup opener.
