2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[martyns]

The Qatar world cup will take place on November 21, and there are already 32 teams participating in this 4th annual competition, it is a pity that Mohammad was wrong to not get a ticket to the Qatar world cup, because he was defeated by Senegal in the play offs, in this year's cup I I will place a bet for England, even though England have never lifted the world cup trophy, but I will still place a bet for England.

The red's Frontline player, Mohammed Salah will Missed the Water World Cup after his country was knock-out by Senegal in the qualifiers. This world cup season, it's not going to be easy for top countries like England and France. England might reach far in the world cup race but will not win because there are lots of strong squad out there that deserve the cup. Teams like Portugal, Croatia are eager to win the cup. Perhaps, England really impressed me with their remarkable performance and record in the last competitions they played, Euro2020, although they didn't lift the trophy. England boss, Southgate will choose good players that will anticipate in the world cup race.

[Boristhecat]

I am also of the opinion that England will go far in this World Cup. They have been doing an excellent job lately, and they showed it during the last Euro2020.

It will be difficult for them to win, but I believe they will be able to go far and maybe reach the final. If they go to the final and the coach doesn't invent much, they can win.

Of course, I would prefer Portugal to win  , but I doubt it.

It all depends on how the draw goes, if in the 1/8 finals England gets on a strong team, then both success and relegation at an early stage are possible. In general, I think that a fairly large group of teams will claim the championship and the result will largely be random. When I think about who would deserve to be a champion, I understand that whoever wins will be very sad for many teams that historically deserve to become champions, but there is only one "vacancy".

I guess that the high GDP of Qatar happens mainly because of the wealth difference. There are so many people who are wealthy beyond regular minds, whereas there are millions who are starving as well. They literally hired slave levels of workers who died while building these stadiums, literally thousands died to make this world cup happen, which is a proof that even though they have high GDP, they have many starving citizens as well.

Do not imagine them as a good nation, they are corrupted and they are a terrible place to be. I wouldn't go there as a tourist if I could avoid it, and I won't (for lack of funds reasons too of course) and would suggest everyone else to do the same.

England was good team , they always participate in final round of world cup. but they have no history to fight in final stage in every event. they also need luck to be champion , playing character was formed before finally i live. I dont see any special player in England team, and so team work should be main focus for coach team. maybe quarter final will enough for England

Qatar is the richest country and only has a population of less than 3 million, even the state of Qatar pays their workers wages of 350k per hour, even though the government does not give discounts to its citizens, I am very sure their citizens are not angry, the Qatari government only wants to profit from immigrants , they managed to host the world cup, their goal is to show the world that their country is a safe country and none of their citizens live suffering,

What do you mean by wages of 350k per hour? In Qatar most of the work force is made up of immigrants from South Asia. These workers earn in the range of $1-$2 per hour, if not less. And there are reports that around 6,000 workers died during the construction of stadiums for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. I am not saying that all of these deaths resulted from accidents at work place. A lot of them died as a result of sunstroke and cardiac arrest. But most of these deaths could have been avoided, if the Qatari authorities had provided better working conditions.

I believe for any team to win this World Cup, they should've had a good preparation, a strong mentality, and at least some level of madness to go at any length or do anything to see their opponents off. I think team England is a good pick, actually they are always one of the favorite to win the competition at every edition but tend to fail woefully though because most times they lack one or two of the things I mentioned for any team to have in order to win the world cup.

England do have some world-class players, and Harry Kane in particular can win any game. But I'd agree that England are unlikely to win the World Cup. Some of the players they've relied on in the past are just in really poor form at the moment, most notably their main defender Harry Maguire, who is not having a great time at all at Man U. And they also suffer from a ridiculous weight of expectation that is out of keeping with the quality of the players.

Here are the odds of who will be the champion:

Brazil 5.50
England 6.50
France 6.50
Spain 9.00
Argentina 10.00
Germany 12.00
Belgium 13.00
Portugal 13.00
Netherlands 13.00

Teams below these have odds starting at 29, so they can be ignored. As you can see, this is a fairly even distribution - the first three have only twice the chances of the best than the last. It can be said that Brazil has an equal chance of winning with a pair such as Belgium + the Netherlands.

But the irony is that nobody voiced for such deaths that resulted just because of abusive use of labor. This abusive use of labor is not only limited to Qatar, almost all gulf states have such attitude towards poor immigrants from south Asia. Few months later everyone will be busy enjoying and betting on FIFA worldcup matches, no one will remember such deaths.

Unfortunately this World Cup has many things wrong, allowed by FIFA in an indirect way. And there are just no more things, because public opinion has exerted some pressure and they have adjusted something. Despite being the biggest event in world football, it will also be marked as the most controversial World Cup.

There will be plenty of people like you and me who will remember. In fact it is such a big deal that Fifa actually fired Sepp Blatter who if I am not wrong ended up being the reason why we are having a Qatar World Cup this year because he took bribes. It was such a big news that we had interim president for a while and now have a new one.

The new one will have to give it to nations with democracy and no slave labor just to make sure that they are going to the right direction and current president doesn't get impeached as well. So, we are going to see new decisions made for better nations and that will be better for everyone who watches it as well.

I think what people are not realizing is that the country itself is a hot area and the weather in the daytime is Israeli hot there. And it is very much possible that the people who went to work there from another country are not able to cope with the weather there and that can cause some serious injury and also death in many cases.

I am not saying that there was nothing to be done for the workers but what I am trying to say is there cannot just arrange air conditioning for the workers working under the sun. But they could certainly have arranged at least a hut if you know what I mean.

The world has been through a lot in these years and people all around the world had to get adjusted to a lot of things. And after what the world has seen in the last few years the controversy around the FIFA world cup is not something that people will not be able to get their head around.

Anyway, after a lot of controversies and waiting the world cup is going to happen and I can say that a lot of people are really excited about it.

What happened in Qatar is modern day slavery. It's sad that the cost of this world cup was people's lives. I really can't blame Sepp Blatter because he was only been fair to the Arab nations and in the bid of developing the game in those affiliated countries, the world cup has to be awarded to Qatar. I think the US and most European countries were angry because the world cup didn't favour them this time around.

What he says about not favoring Europe is also somewhat true.

But on the other hand, we also have to see that many moral values that FIFA has been promoting have been put aside. And that is regretful.
It is true that FIFA's idea, without raising the question of money, was to try to make these countries change their attitudes a little. But to do that, they should have been stricter in their demands, and not turn a blind eye to many human rights violations.

One thing is certain, despite all these controversies, it will certainly be a very emotional and interesting World Cup to watch.

These deaths may overshadow this world cup in Qatar. The death of 6,000 workers stands out as a very high figure. Qatar should explain the reasons for this. The best conditions had to be provided for workers working for 1-2$ per hour. Although, in my country, the monthly salary of a minimum wage earner is $275. I wish a fairer wage was made and everyone lived under the same conditions.

[VanityWallets2015]

It is very unfortunate that there have been so many casualties and deaths in this country. But canceling or boycotting the tournament wouldn't make things any better. At least not at this stage anymore. And the footballers can't help it either, they basically just go there to work like in football. The unions should have acted better and harder.

Being from India, I have heard about horror stories told by people who have been to countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Tens of millions of expats work in these countries and the treatment varies from one employer to the next. Tens of thousands of such employees vanish all of a sudden, with their family members unable to find out what happened to them. And in most cases, these individuals are listed as "missing" rather than dead, and therefore no monetary compensation is being paid to the family.

Scotland vs Ukraine is now getting closer, only a couple of weeks for it to start(June 1st). It's probably going to be an interesting game to watch, not sure who will end up winning though. Who do you think will win in Glasgow?

Bookmakers give a clear preference to the Wales team, but in my opinion they greatly underestimate Ukraine:

1,72 - 3,50 - 4,35

Probably Wales is really the favorite in this match due to the home game and some other factors, but these are teams of about the same level and in my opinion it is wrong to give such a strong difference in odds. Maybe it's because of the ongoing war? But does it have such a big impact on the Ukrainian national team, most of whose players play abroad?
