FIFA 2022 world cup

[rdluffy]

There has always been a debate about the curse of the title-winner at the previous World Cup. But if we look further into history, we will never see the curse. I myself am one of those who doubt about this, on the one hand I wonder if the curse is true or not, on the other I think it's just something that just happened by chance. But indeed many people believe that the curse is really real. We'll see what happens to France.

the first thing that comes to my mind is not a curse, the more logical thing is that its just a coincidence, and the second thing that comes to my mind is that it could be rigged, i'm with the conspiracy theory that says that some matches or even most are rigged, i've been watching a lot of football since a very longtime and i can't deny that possibility.

In my coutry people take these coincidences too serious, that affects the gamblers and their bets
This is a strong one, usually the last champion will not win again, this only happened twice in history with Italy 34 and 38 and Brazil in 58 and 62
Brazil almost did another huge thing, won in 94, 2nd place in 98 and champion again in 2002
if we consider modern times, the last time it happened was 60 years ago
Strong reason to not bet in France this year

People are very optimistic about Argentina, but my bet will on Brasil this cup.
In a few days coach will reveal all the squad.

Qatar 2022 world cup is the first to be held in the middle east, with the majority of people being Muslim, is there a local government policy to limit alcohol and the like, for example, is it done or not to interfere with the freedom of visitors to the 2022 world cup grand event?

Qatar is the first Islamic country to host the World cup - they have made a lot of changes to cater the guests and the players coming to Qatar for the world cup.
THe alcohal has been banned for good - but it is allowed for 19 hour a days

Something that hasn't been talked too much is that all these allowed things are for people with tickets to the actual game of the day, not everyone.

FIFA have confirmed that match ticket holders for World Cup games will be allowed to purchase and drink alcohol in "select areas" inside the stadium perimeter before and after games.

However, the majority of the rule relaxations relate only to fans with official tickets, and drinking outside of pre-approved zones will not be permitted by Qatari law.

Since not everyone will have a ticket to every match, I'm sure there will be issues given that thousands of people all around the world would be there trying to grab a drink.

Also there's this:

Living together whilst unmarried is prohibited in Qatar — with an exemptions in place for hotel stays — and sex outside of marriage, regardless of whether same-sex couples or opposite-sex couples, is illegal.

Breaking of these specific laws can lead to fines, imprisonment and deportation for visitors.

I can guarantee we'll hear about at least a few cases of people deported or thrown in jail...

Adultery is punishable by death in Qatar (same with homosexuality as well). Theoretically any of the unmarried couples can be arrested and sentenced to death. However, this law is not very strictly implemented, especially for Western tourists. However, such couples may face difficulties, in case they need to access medical services or health insurance. A few years back, one woman was arrested after she got pregnant, since she was not married at that time. Anyway, all I am saying is that Westerners need to be careful while being in Qatar.

Now we have less than one month and still too many rumors and confusion is around with this we need to be had some rules in FIFA about these events if any country want to host then surely he needs to have strictly few things allowed for fans which surely accepted even any country because right now as laws and news coming nothing is clear, and we can't talk about this what will happen and how things will be manageable for both parties like FIFA and Qatar authorities.

But, as you mentioning Westerners I am not worrying about them because I have experience of Gulf region their mostly laws are stick just for Third World countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan with few more like these but for Westerners they are having exemptions because they also understand they have to live with them and their technology in this hell.

Previously, such a historical pattern was with the European Championship, there were no exceptions, but in 2008 and 2012 Spain broke the pattern. So I wouldn't rely on history when betting - in fact there is no correlation that would prevent the previous champion from repeating its success. I would even say that the champion (the team cannot accidentally become the champion in the vast majority of cases) has more chances, since it was already the strongest.

[Patrol69]

The excitement of the World Cup has already started. Just a few more days until the curtain rises on the event that is the focus of most interest on the world stage.  The journey of the World Cup will begin on November 20 with the match between Qatar and Ecuador. 2022 Qatar World Cup to create a different kind of excitement among people I think the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is going to be the most expensive and exciting World Cup in football history. But at the end of the day we football lovers can definitely say we hope to see something good in this World Cup.

Yeah, historical data is a bit unreliable. For example, Italy didn't qualify for this world cup, but the last time that happened was in 1958. Most people would have assumed Italy would qualify and make a bet that shows that.

On the other hand, Brazil has qualified for every single world cup, and they qualified for this one unbeaten. History does have some weight, I would say Brazil is one of the best teams in the world cup.

But then again, from time to time the unexpected might happen. That's partly why football is so entertaining. Even the best team can lose to the worst team because of one mistake. You don't see that in some other sports in which one mistake doesn't matter too much.

The wort cup is coming up and alot of players are getting ready for the game, some are even injured and they still expects to be fully fit before then, while others can't make till next year, I would say that's rather bad news for them and they will keep hope alive for the next one. We would be witnessing some star players who have marked this world cup as their last international duty. The world cup in Qater would be one of the most entertaining world cup in history as many average players have turned professionals and have place style in high-class football.

[Sithara007]

Yes, I also think that many players are getting ready to play in the world cup. But in this world cup, we will see a different kind of game. I think that the new players will play very well in the world cup.  It is not understood that the team will play well in the world cup. It is not too late to start the world cup and it will start very soon.

I disagree. Actually I believe that it is the veteran players who are going to do well in this edition of the world cup. I am talking about players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski and Gareth Bale. On the other hand, this time I am not hearing much about the younger players. And some of the most promising younger players, such as Erling Haaland and Giacomo Raspadori won't be participating in this edition of the world cup, as their teams haven't managed to qualify.

Whoever is thinking on going to the world cup needs to at least make an effort to research the most common things that are allowed where they live but which are illegal at Qatar, after all whether they agree or disagree with them it is the law and if they do not want to have their experience ruined it is important to follow the law, since going to jail is already bad enough, but it is many times worse if you happen to go to jail in a foreign country.

I think this is just a matter of western culture that is used to their free life, if they want to be respected as tourists then there is nothing wrong with complying with the policies that exist in that country, what's more, that country that we know is a Muslim country that adheres to its religion. , why is there a problem when it is clear that they know that Qatar is a country with a population of almost 100% Muslims, so why not respect the procedures that have been in place for a long time, even though the World Cup was held there at least we can understand what the government is doing , I support the policy of Qatar which does not allow the rainbow flag to be flown or promote it and adultery in the State of Qatar, because every country has the right to its own country..

I think that anyone who visits any country in the world should adapt to that country's nation way of living and their laws. Nations and countries all over the world are quite different and one can't say that his way of living is better just because he or she is used to it. If something is against the law in Qatar, then don't do it. It doesn't matter if you agree with the law or not.

I'm a little curious about the live television broadcast of the World Cup match later in every country. Are television stations in your country broadcasting live World Cup matches for free? or do you have to pay TV subscription?

In my country, usually live broadcasts of the World Cup can only be enjoyed for free using UHF and Digital signals. while using a satellite signal via satellite dish is not free or paid. I want to know. is it the same in other countries?

In my country all residents who have a TV must pay a subscription for the national television. It's mandatory by law. They will broadcast all national team's matches and other interesting matches. It has been like that since I remember.

I don't think it's just for the world cup, if we're someone who likes to travel abroad.

at least, we must first find references regarding places and destinations, culture and all that, this is important for someone who will be traveling. moreover in this case the destination is Qatar, where they have rules and culture that are very different from the west.
something that must be respected for visitors who travel to the place.
as for the world cup, at least as you say. someone who wants to watch this world cup event firsthand, should first study the local culture and the laws that pass so as not to make mistakes that violate the regulations in the area.

In my country, previously we used to have such a system. Private sports channels were forced to share the live content with the national broadcaster (and that too without any payment). The only thing that the private channels got in return is that all the advertisements that are shown by them need to be shown by the national TV as well. But after a while the private channels complained, since they were spending such large amounts to get exclusive access to the live content, and therefore this arrangement was cancelled.

Yeah, this kind of agreement doesn't make sense because why should anyone have to pay a subscription fee if they are not watching a national TV program? But unfortunately where I come from people don't have a choice but to pay for the national TV subscription.

It sounds too strict. We pay for TV subscriptions monthly, but it is not mandatory. There are free channels also that you can watch without any form of subscriptions, but TV Subscriptions give you access to more options on your TV. For worldwide events like the world cup, it is usually broadcasted both on the subscribed and free channels which is think is okay because these kinds of activities contribute to the social welfare of people in a country, and since it is also a responsibility of the government to assist in ensuring that the social welfare of citizens in a country, this is something that they can give freely, people don't always have to pay for everything. Countries especially that their national team is playing in the world cup, free airing should be normalized for the duration of the world cup.

Just to be clear... Everyone in my country can plug an antenna and watch free national and few private televisions that broadcast for free. The problem is that the law says that everyone who owns a TV or a radio has to pay small fee out of which the national TV is financed.
