Topic: Qatar Footballl World Cup - People decided not to watch (Read 280 times)

There is no doubt that Qatar has paid hugely to make its way into being the organiser of the World Cup this year. It is against any reason to give such an opportunity to launder their society and their abuses if it not were for the huge amount of money handed. The vice-president of the EU parliament has been directly sent for prison for related issues.

This World cup is too much controversial. Some people believe that Qatar send a huge amount of money to FIFA President to give them chance to host this WC. There is a documentary named "The man who sold the World Cup"!  You can get much information there!

First of all, I don't like to involve football with politics. Supposedly, football can unite all nations. But the fact is, FIFA is an exception and they tend to do a double standard with what happened to Ukraine and Russia. on the other hand, the western invasion of middle eastern countries. but okay, because our theme is not that.

To be honest, what happened to the Qatar world cup cannot be underestimated. there were many cases that occurred there, various bad news related to violations in the world cup this time. and some of the points that you have conveyed in your thread here. the question is, is this really happening? as a layman naturally I want to ask it. the reason is, everything related to Qatar has always been slanted news.

Let's remember again, the opening ceremony of the world cup ceremony. between Qatar vs Ecuador, 3 days before this event was held, several rumors had been very intensively reported that Qatar had bribed Ecuador to lose in the opening match. in fact, Qatar fell 0-2 Ecudor.

I believe this is a proxy war carried out by political competitors. like Amjad Taha who spread such irresponsible rumors. So who should we believe, the western media, Saudi Arabia, or. but that's for sure. that the Qatar side has successfully organized this world cup event, and that is a fact.

When you come across someone who already missed this year FIFA world cup match series then such person is not a football kind of person or isn't disposed to have time to watch, I've learnt about some occasions whereby when your country got knocked out that marks the end of your watching, but this have gone beyond ordinary watch, it a live entertaining event that put one into high expectations for a long anticipation.

As part of political and administrative situations and country norms, football lovers still watch, and lovers are interested in footballers' policies regarding the games. So I do not disagree with any part of your post, but my point here is despite all the mentioned situations football craze hasn't got down.

Yeah, at first Some person decided not to watch because they never believed QATAR will host the world Because of so many restrictions surrounded the event.  But it's turned out to be the best world cup ever. Every thing was coordinated and classic. Congratulations to Qatar,  at the finals match those that didn't watch , do watch the finals match.lol.

Please op change the trend name,the world cup is over

The FIFA organization gives permission to control different countries to run the World Cup.  This time, FIFA has given them the responsibility to conduct the World Cup in Qatar because despite being an Islamic country, Qatar has been given responsibility for this World Cup.  All these responsibilities can be fulfilled only in developed countries because there are various kinds of problems.  No other country could have prevented FIFA from practicing this even if it wanted to.  But good luck for Qatar.

Well, now that the world cup has ended is there going to be an improvement in workers conditions?
What I mean is that, since some of the stadiums will be dismantled will the condition of the workers who will be involved improved?
The best thing I would say right now is that people who go there to accept work under such terrible conditions should just stop because there is no end in sight for such terrible working conditions.

You don't have to be a football freak or fan to watch the game of football, some people just choose not to because of personal reasons. Is a choice to watch it or make it a habit. If you follow the way things are being done in the game of football, like I've mentioned before, politics has a strong role to play in this tournament.

Personally, I don't like decisions to allow countries like Qatar or Russia to held World Cup, but I still watch. These protests of individuals is such pointless thing. It won't achieve anything, that's just showing your position.
Much bigger impact would be if powerful countries like England, France or Germany wouldn't agree to play in competitions held in such countries.

Same as Russia did for 2018 World Cup or even Germany in 2006. Money doesn't smells. Hell, if they would get big enough offer, FIFA probably would agree to make World Cup in North Korea.

It's not the same in other countries. In most countries you are free to drink alcohol if you like and you won't get in trouble for walking around with your shoulders or knees visible
I would probably still watch it if it was only about their restrictions but the most important aspect is Qatar bribed FIFA to get the votes and be chosen as the host for the cup.
FIFA is so dirty and nobody does anything about it as long as the money keeps flowing.

I would say when we go to Europe or USA we are bound to follow there rules. Then why not do the same in Qatar, honestly I don't see too much restriction in Qatar. Just there is a ban on alcohol consumption in grounds and that's giving a sense of security to females. Qatar has spent 234 billion usd for this World Cup, let's appreciate there efforts rather then criticising them.

If anything its broadcasting rights that are preventing me to watch. In my country not all matches were aired due to those restrictions. A couple of decades ago not just one but two separate free to air TV networks would show it. And no, I'm not paying premium whatever for it. Of the matches left it appears they will allow broadcast of the reminder except 3rd and 4th place match (the losers of the semi finals).

These big international sports events are good to show the rest of the world when some countries are restrictive. In the meantime the Morocco fans are making a mess in France, why don't they make a mess in their Kingdom? Also China learned that the rest of the world is no longer wearing masks or being quarantined inside their homes...

Anybody that is not watching the world cup is not a football freak or let me say fan,if not nothing is going to restrict you from having fun or entertaining yourself with the matches. The world cup is once in four years so if because of some other countries practice,you are depriving yourself from fun,it means that you don't love football at all. Religion should be respected but not using it to give excuse based on your personal reasons.

Its their religion so it should be respected, Even region has what the tolerate within their country. I don't know if FIFA will look into all this before hosting the next world cup to make sure there are no religious limitations that could hinder the fun of the tournament. So far in the world cup all we see are fans who try to stay entertained despite the restrictions.

Have you seen fortification bringing better lives to the people that did it in the end? Yes, every good deed always come with a prize to pay but in the end it is always worth it.

It is hard to know what is true about this story, yes the country can be strict with its rules and regulations but that doesn't mean they don't have human feelings.
One thing we should know is that when things happened there are always some people that will always add their story to what really happen just to make some cash.

Is it what's happening all over the world, the big brother sitting in his office with a cup of coffee and receiving the highest cut while the workers hired for the job execution are receiving pennies out of their own sweat.
This is why some unions in Starbucks, rail workers, and the staff at The New York Times are somehow fighting for lately.

Hey, it is there country and you don’t expect them to stop what they’re practicing the whole time for just few months of the World Cup. Do you know the after effect of it if they do so, No. Despite the fact that FIFA was aware that Qatar was a Muslim country, they granted them the right to host the World Cup. Let no country or external body impose regulations on individuals they do not govern. If you can't live by their rules, simply boycott it. It happens all across the world; you can't go to another country and decide to do whatever you want because your home country enables you to; you'll just end up behind bars for it.. If they don’t want it, then let it be.


Let them be; it is their nation and their laws. They are free to do whatever they choose.

.You're right; the world cup is a significant sporting event, and nothing should deter people from watching. People need to realize that every nation has its own cultural traditions and religious systems. Hosting the World Cup shouldn't force people to abandon these traditions and values. The world cup is about a month away, therefore everyone should get used to Qatar's prohibitions on certain items that go against their religious beliefs. After that, everyone can resume their regular activities.

All these are just allegations and most likely propaganda. Nobody has really brought proof that these things really happen. It's all hearsay. It's very hypocritical for people from Western countries to try and act like they're saints. Qatar has been hosting a very nice world cup since but since it was announced that Qatar would be the host of the world cup different people have been fighting them.
Human rights are trampled on in every country of the world including the UK and US. Qatar never said you can't go to Qatar if you are gay, just don't bring flags and all what not.

Whoever will not be watching the world cup should know that they would not be missed. Sports brings people together and so far in this world cup it has done that. You can use your platform to speak out against injustice but don't make accusations you can't defend.
