2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Sithara007]

Well to tell the truth, things are like that, I think that before being a disadvantage with the veterans I think it will be a very big advantage because the experience in high-pressure games they know how to solve any eventuality, and for anyone it is not a reason to see them as old, but as the best, a veteran gets a penalty than a young man, a young man's nerves can betray, I don't want to say that a veteran doesn't, but he has more experience and that helps a lot when it comes to To have more security and confidence, the problem of young people is that their nerves block them, but at the same time they have irreverence that can help them do anything.

Even if I don't agree with anything else, I will 100% agree on the penalty part. An experienced player is much more suitable to take a penalty kick, when compared to an younger one. England found that out the hard way during the final match against Italy in Euro 2020. The two experienced players (Harry Maguire and Harry Kane) put them 2-0 up, but then the next three shots were wasted by younger players (Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka). And rather than admitting their admitting their fault, the players went ballistic with racism allegations.

The passion is mainly because this is the biggest thing for everyone involved, which means that it is definitely going to be a rare thing to watch. This is the WHOLE world playing, how many things do you watch that includes the whole world?

I mean the champions league winners go out and play against other teams from other continents as well called "fifa club world cup" and the last time someone outside of Europe won that was in 2012, even though we had it every year. So, I am guessing that World cup is the only thing that brings the whole world together and that is why we are all interested in it, even though my nation is not in there, I still love watching it.

Since you're asking, I believe that the whole world watches the Olympic Games, and unlike the World Championships, athletes from all countries of the world participate in the Olympic Games 
The world club competition has a much lower rating than the world national team championship, and it is obvious that European teams are financially more powerful than South American teams and have much stronger club teams, so South American teams are no longer competitive in this competition.
The national team World Cup is a completely different story, and there we always have several strong national teams from Europe and South America who fight equally for the world title, although the South American national teams have not won the world title for 20 years, what is surprising.

There's probably going to be a lot of local security as well, and I reckon any cheaper security from overseas that they can get.

The amount of extra visitors that a world cup brings is insane, so the country must prepare a lot, and security in particular is a key thing to keep in check.

I'm sure they're going to be very organized though.

Security will certainly not be lacking, not least because the danger of a terrorist attack is high.
According to the latest news on the subject, it seems that NATO will provide assistance to the security of the World Cup. As well as Pakistan will provide military support in security.

FIFA President Infantino expressed that there will be no concessions in terms of security at the World Cup. He also discouraged those who want to come to Qatar to create any kind of unstable environment around the world's most loved event. FIFA and host country Qatar take a strict stance on the safety of their fans. He said that many more steps will be taken regarding the security of this World Cup. The Qatari authorities will also try to provide maximum security.

Qatar is well-developed and safe country in Gulf region because they are doing good for world peace as well in last few years but as this is first mega event which is going to be happened in Middle Ease many are rising their concerns about Terrorist activities as well because conspiracies and hypocrisies can play their part, but good thing is going with Qatar authorities they are not taking anything as their weakness and giving their best for having a well and good event in their country.

With the USA is also having their biggest arms depots here and too much NATO activity is also so with this all still they are giving the contract to Pakistani Army is good because they feel they can manage this much better than others now we can hope for better end of this event and this could be a great achievement for all region countries.

The world would be all eyes and ears for this world event in Qatar. This is the middle east we are talking about. Besides the case of covid-19 with rumors still trotting about, the case of security provisions as regards those in uniforms and without uniforms will be the main concern. No big name wants to get kidnapped or shot because of a world event that was inefficiently weighed. My pain is not seeing the Nigerian Super Eagles qualify, however, I think Qatar is a great place and would definitely give their best.

[wiss19]

Even the Indian officials were contacted back for providing security support during the event. 20 IPS officers from different domains attended the security seminar, but there is no official announcement about the personals getting involved with the event anymore.Indian officials to be part of 2022 FIFA World Cup security

A big event so Qatar and FIFA officials will be doing their best for having no flaw in security just because of this they are doing their work with different countries and agencies for better security with this all Indian influence is also having big impact on this all if they are working and having better ideas from them, it's good because this will bring better security and management in this event for host country.

But still as we all know NATO and USA are main parties for having all these arrangements because these are working here for long time just because of Qatar geopolitical situation and their relationship with different countries recently they have already done few big things which are also needed to check and can bring some big impact on this all here this event is surely going to have big impact on region for peaceful mission which is very important.

If there's no alcohol in the stadiums then the crowds will probably be a bit easier to control.

Not sure how alcohol will be handled in other locations thought.

I think there's going to be a few controversies in Qatar given all the restrictions they have at the moment.

[rahmad2nd]

I also see Germany and Spain as the seeded countries in this FIFA world cup, but don't forget that everything is still very possible to happen in this world cup because other countries besides the two that I mentioned are also still possible to be better than Germany and Spain. Examples such as Portugal, England and also several others are countries that cannot be underestimated also in this world cup.

Yes, Germany and Spain cannot be separated from our attention, both squads are filled with very experienced players and at the same time project talented young players. even so, their squad is not too much of a favorite in the world cup this time. without taking Germany and Spain lightly at the football party this time. however, regardless of the statistics and depth of the players for now, some of the other country squads are more capable overall in terms of talent and team readiness.

I know there is no guarantee that the country that is more favored will become the champion, such as Brazil, France, Argentina, England or the Netherlands. but the struggle of germany and spain in the world cup this time feels even tougher in the competition to win the world champion trophy in qatar. One thing is for sure, in football anything can happen.

The problem is that they even classify beverages such as Beer as "alcoholic drinks". Given the weather conditions in Qatar, I am sure that most of the fans would like to have a can or two of beer while watching the tournament. Qatar has all sort of restrictions, not just on alcohol but also on unmarried couples, LGBT people, non-halal food.etc. It will be interesting to see how they could make the fans happy without breaking or tweaking any of these restrictions. If there are complaints, then the reputation of entire Arab world will be tarnished.

Do you consider beer a non-alcoholic drink? This is very strange, since those people who do not drink alcohol regularly (for example, I) can get very drunk from two glasses of beer. As for restrictions and reputation, I do not think that it will suffer - those who went to Qatar were aware of local rules in advance.
I'm interested in something else - is the preparation for the championship completely completed? I haven't seen (maybe missed) any news about it. There are 80 days left before start.

Things are not clear as they are increasing man power and doing their best for having one of the best tournament in recent times, but interesting media is not allowed at construction sides just because of this no updates are available what's going to on and how they are going to do in next 80 days.

With laws are surely stick about many things which are not acceptable for many peoples those are coming from Wester Countries as they will not give any permission for anything which is out of law specially alcohol is already announced not allow on roads and stadiums, but you can enjoy in hotels and rooms with few more things are until now no clear but FIFA officials are working with Qatar officials hopefully before thirty days of event they will give all updates and rules about this event because this is important for all parties those are going to visit to support their teams.

There is no way beer can be a non-alcoholic drink. If I know correctly it contains a really high amount of alcohol for a person who is not a regular drinker.
I really don’t understand the laws. In western countries, the rules are made so that the people who are making the rules don’t have any problems with them.
And if that is the case what’s the point of making rules?

Yeah, beer is an alcoholic drink of course. It's just lighter than hard alcohol, but you can definitely end up drunk or intoxicated with beer.

I'm sure that despite all the warnings we will still have a lot of news in the media about disobedient people being fined and even jailed for breaking local laws.
Did they know that even premarital sex is prohibited there.... so many people will have to control their drinking and also their parties, otherwise they will be able to stay a few more days in Qatar.

LOL.. that is strange. Beer is not a distilled drink, and it is fermented. Just because it contains some small amount of alcohol (as a result of the fermentation process), you call it as an alcoholic beverage? In that case a lot of beverages and items such as homeopathic medicines will come under that category. Alcohol content in beer can vary from 0.5% to 12%. I would be surprised if someone calls a drink with 0.5% alcohol content as liquor. I don't know much about the rules in Qatar. But if they do classify beer as alcohol and ban it, then I will be disappointed.

Of course it's alcohol! It is not the alcohol content that defines whether it is an alcoholic drink or not.

An alcoholic drink (also called an alcoholic beverage, adult beverage, or simply a drink) is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol that acts as a drug and is produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_drink

Beer is the best-known member of the malt family of alcoholic beverages, which also includes ale, stout, porter, and malt liquor. It is made from malt, corn, rice, and hops. Beers range in alcoholic content from about 2 percent to about 8 percent.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/alcoholic-beverage

Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage worldwide. In fact, after water and tea, beer is the most commonly-consumed drink in the world. Beer is also most likely the oldest alcoholic drink in history. A standard beer, whether it be a lager or an ale, has between 4% to 6% ABV, although some beers have higher or lower concentrations of alcohol. For example, “light beers” only have between 2% to 4% ABV while “malt liquors” have between 6% to 8%.

https://www.alcoholrehabguide.org/alcohol/types/

In addition, it does not have to be a distilled beverage to be considered an alcoholic beverage. Wine is not distilled and is an alcoholic beverage.

All over the world, beer is considered an alcoholic beverage.
There may be some countries that do not classify it as an adult drink, which is different.

There are even things like bread that contain alcohol. Up to about 1% of alcohol (beer usually has around 5%)

Here's one article discussing other common food and drinks that actually have alcohol: https://steadydrinker.com/articles/foods-drinks-alcohol/

yes, I agree. Spain squad is currently undergoing a phase of renewal of players, many of whom are young projections of the future of Spain. but in this world cup event, I don't expect more from their squad. the only experienced striker in the world cup is Alvaro Morata, and the rest are young players, while Pablo Sarabia is not too prominent in his career.

as well as the german squad, in their attack line filled with young players, as for the experienced players dominated by bayern munich players. their chances in the world cup is not too in the favourite.

Many of the younger players have experience in playing with some of the top Spanish clubs, such as Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Pablo Sarabia plays for Paris Saint-Germain along with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. They have a relatively young squad, but I wouldn't label them as "inexperienced". They have some very experienced players in the defense and mid-field, such as Sergio Busquets, Koke and Jordi Alba.

Now coming to Germany, they will be sending a squad of 30+ oldies to this world cup. Thomas Müller, İlkay Gündoğan, Marco Reus and Manuel Neuer are all in their 30s. Now I don't know whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage.

we know that. Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, is a young player who is projected for the future of the Spain squad and they join Barcelona, ​​besides that there is another young striker from Real Madrid Marco Asensio. the spain squad has three young stickers that are quite potential, but they don't have much experience in the world cup event, as for experienced strikers only alvaro morata and pablo sarabia, these two stickers don't shine like other stars.

However, the Spanish squad has many of the best midfielders, Sergio Busquets, Marco Alonso, Rodri, Koke, in the defensive line there are Erik Garcia, Jordi Alba, Cesar Azplicueta. with the depth of the current Spanish squad can be quite good. however, to make them world cup champions this time, I'm not too sure, because after all there are other squads that have better depth than Spain.

For me, Spain scores high on several aspects. They have a number of very experienced players. They are not overdependent on individual players (such as Ronaldo for Portugal and Lukaku for Belgium). And their team bonding is very good (unlike the case with teams such as France). And since Spain is a Mediterranean country, I am sure that it will be easier for them to adjust to climate conditions in Qatar, when compared to the other European teams. Now the question comes to team balance. This is my concern. Forward is not as strong as midfield or defense.

Surely big plus point for few top European countries because they can't depend on one or two players they have enough power and skilled players those can do much better in this event because they have enough experience in clubs which are going to help them in this event as well.

As team event and have too many quality players are surely big advantage for many countries instead of few countries those depend on just one or two players just because of this we are sure teams like Spain, Germany, France and Brazil can do much better than expectations they are coming with their squads and have nothing with just one or two players.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The opening ceremony is probably going to be spectacular, the crowds are going to be there supporting their local team, but honestly, I don't think Qatar has any chances of winning against Ecuador.

In my mind the best result they can get would be a draw, probably 0 - 0.

Remember the match between Cameroon and Argentina in 1990 (and that was despite two of the Cameroon players getting red card in the second half)? Or the match between Senegal and France in 2002? Or do you remember Hristo Stoichkov's Bulgaria defeating Germany in 1994? Upsets always happen during the world cup. Ecuador is not among the top-10 teams and there is a chance that Qatar may manage to defeat them. But the chances are low. At least on paper, Qatar is much weaker than Ecuador.

Well for Andie it is a secret that the opening ceremony will be on another level, I look forward to having the privilege of seeing it, although it would be much more exciting to see it there in Qatar on the same stage, the same stadium, some who will have that joy they will enjoy it to the fullest, I also wanted to point out that the opening matches are the prelude to everything, people get excited and Qatar is a team that can win this World Cup and go far, Ecuador is not very good, sometimes when they say deflection They do it in a great way, I think this match will be good, although to be honest I would like a victory for Qatar.

For me, Spain scores high on several aspects. They have a number of very experienced players. They are not overdependent on individual players (such as Ronaldo for Portugal and Lukaku for Belgium).

Of all the countries that are for the World Cup, Spain had not sounded much to me either, we all talk about Brazil, Germany, but it is true, for now in all of Europe the champions are the Spanish through Real Madrid and that is one of things to take into account.

Of course, I liked Spain a lot when Xavi was there, Iker Casillas, among others who were from that time, for me now I don't know how good the boys are, I haven't seen Spain play much but they must be playing very well, it will be interesting to see this team play against all the others. Spain can very well reach the final, I think they have it all.
