Topic: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match - page 7. (Read 1813 times)

We have too many speculations and allegations from first day of this event while this was in hosting process so right now talking its speculation or right no one can give clear reply but for me, we can expect things like these from them because they have reputation for having use of money for their own cause and mostly this works for them even in this case if anything wrong happen then FIFA could be tough, and we can expect harsh punishments and other penalties as well because Qatar officials without any doubt are desperate for the win of first match.

Now, with this all if they won this match on merit then still many doubts and suspiciously is going to work around with surely this is going to be one of the most controversial events in soccer history because too many problems and now sudden ban on alcohol just before few days is also having another controversy.

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

Exactly, and if they are going to investigate they shoulf start immediately since the accusation is quite big and scandalous. what more is that if Qatar won the opening match, their win would be riddled with scandals and could affect the teams morale.

If this news come out to be true after real investigation is done, this tournament will be the most corrupt of match rigging in my opinion. Anyway you said it looks like so we are going to keep our eyes open to see how the opening match will turn out because that will be the first text of rigging. I expect that allegations of match fixing should be heard towards the end of the world cup and not at the start of the tournament and the first game for that matter.

I do agree though, FIFA as a sports governing body is very corrupt, even for the voting as we will be the President involves bribe money and even countries that want to host the event. So let's see how quick and swift their form of justice here, specially against Qatar.

Definitely, we may want to stay away from matches that involves the host city and Ecuador. Or we need a keen eye as who's athlete seems to be not bringing his A game here. For now, everyone is a suspect.

Anything can happen since they are not qualified to even host the world cup and now they are scared to play their opening match with Ecuador and win instead they want to use money to buy their winning. FIFA should make sure that this board is unique by avoiding bribes and punish any player or country that is caught in the act.

FIFA is also a corrupt body and I wonder how they can fight corruption, is it that money can  make impossibilities possible I guess no. I will advice everybody not to place a bet on that match because we can't predict the outcome based on the information on ground.

Im not surprised if this is actually truth but i think we wont actually know for sure unless there is some hardcore facts. If Qatar wins the first game everybody will think that it was fixed probobly. The odds on this match havent dropped so i think no body yet bited this rumour.

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.

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.

Many people are of the opinion that this could possibly be a rumor, but then, if this be true, I must say that it is highly disappointing, and this brings me to the question of why they would opted to bride their opponent when they had 12 whole years to prepare,? Even if I was going to bet for them since they are the host and can't afford to lose the game since its their opener, I would rather bet on Ecuador wining because Qatar bribing Ecuador already shows the lack the confidence required to win.
But like I said before, the whole bribery thing is still a rumor, only an official confirmation will determine which of the team to camp with.

What is the point you are trying to prove and is this the first time you are hearing of match-fixing, that is a common thing in football games as many global football games have been fixed several in the past and Qatar happens to be the spotlight of football events in this world cup and a lot of resources will be pushed in just to influence the outcome of some of their vital matches in the world up.

Am not saying the news is real because there has not been any price of that at the moment so the news remains just speculation.

I see these reports in many newspapers but i could not still find any evidence for these scandals but just a twitter message from a British based Bahraini who always turn up with controversial topics and the media is trumpeting this rumor. There is a lot of criticism showered against Qatar from the start when they won the bid and this is just a continuation of those attacks to tarnish their reputation because this is the first time the World Cup is conducted in an Arab country.  

FIFA as an organization does not take bribery allegations lightly because they can kill the beautiful game of football. We have also heard of many news bribe scandals that rocked FIFA during the host bidding stage and it was investigated accordingly. I am not also surprised about this news because Qatar is very desperate to make an impact in this world cup. Ecuador players might be tempted to collect the bribe if they have no intentions of making an impact in this world cup and if most of them have a poverty mentality.

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?

this news of bribing and match-fixing has gone so much viral, it is not a good thing for the body of FIFA, I believe this news would be investigated in a short period of time.
If this matter is left uninvestigated it will affect the general well-being of FIFA and will ruin the reputation of the players that are involved in this very saga. I will avoid betting on the opening match of the World Cup no matter how sweet the odds appear.

I'd love for this to be investigated and see whether it is real or not, I am not trying to defend Qatar or anything but players personally claiming that they were bribed is a big deal. they are a celebrity and they can influence a lot of people if they said something that could tarnish someone's reputation it should be taken seriously.

To be honest, if we refer to the statistics that we have indiscriminately with this blowing bribery issue. I'm pretty sure Qatar will provide a fierce resistance when they play their opening match against Ecuador. before this bribery issue blows, we have tried to predict in several previous posts.

If we compare the rankings and statistical records of these two teams, they do not have significant differences. from the FIFA rankings, only 6 points adrift. Qatar's 50th, while Ecuador's 44th. we try to compare from the matches they had before. Qatar is a 2019 Asian Cup finalist, they overthrew the strongest team in Asia, namely Japan with a score of 1-3.
after that, as a whole Qatar became the dominating team when playing with teams from Asia in various competitions. the latest statistical notes from the trial results with the friendly matches they played, the results are not so bad. out of 8 friendly matches, they got 2 defeats, 2 draws against Chile and Fiorentina. the rest, with 4 wins.

Note: Qatar has 13 naturalized players, and this is why they were able to beat Japan in the 2019 Asian Cup final.

On the other hand, Ecuador's statistical record is not very good in all the competitions they have played in. even the few trial matches they did this year, did not show that they were really strong and ready. of the 6 friendly matches that Ecuador played, Ecuador was only able to win two matches, namely against Nigeria 1-0 and Cape Verde 1-0, the other 4 matches were all draws with no goals created. uniquely, Ecuador against Saudi Arabia, Japan and lastly with Iraq all 0-0. We know this is not a real match, but at least this match is a trial match to see how ready and strong they are to compete in the world cup later.

with this assessment, I predict that the match will not be easy for these two teams. even Qatar has the potential to overthrow Ecuador, because after all they are playing at home. however, due to the issue of bribery, it seems that the opening match will no longer be interesting. at least, for me personally.

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

These things could neither be some;

-Speculation
-Leaked information from the players itself

But if we do talk about on sensible manner which it is really that impossible for this information to leak out.When you are a true fan of football then you would definitely
be able to witness in regarding on their actions which it would really be raises up those questions on what the hell is happening and it would be proven out that
they've been bribed on doing such thing.

Could be possible that they would be faced up some charges about bribery?

when the power of money speaks, for some players it will be very difficult to refuse. Ecuador's chances of winning the world cup are very small, so if there is news like this, it is not spread haphazardly

what I'm worried about is qatar who is one of the richest countries in the world, is actually using the power of money to get their country into further stages of the world cup

I'm never sure about betting when the Qatar host match because maybe it's hard to guess, it's not because of a problem I can't make predictions, it's just that I'm worried about cheating like this, but is the news valid and worthy of accountability, if it's true at least i don't regret with that because i didn't bet on Qatar vs Ecuador match and only bet on other matches
