These are just "some" of the sources and if it's coming from a prominent sports news media, I think that we can have that idea that it actually happened.
But the other side of this is that, it's possible that they can also be paid to tell to deny the allegations as there's no proof. Well, these days, it's hard to get on these medias without valid proof to support on claims and accusations. But I understand that it's being published like this as if they're the first to provide it so they get the visibility and exposure.

It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the wold cup opener. And this isn't weird to me, i mean if they already pay a shit ton of money to have the world cup in their country then we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.

Right now odds pays x3.26 if Qatar win, i know is a risky bet but i'm almost sure they will win. Will you place bets on this game after knowing about the bribe?

I'm not sure if this alleged scandal is true or not, but it makes Qatar a terrible host, beforehand there was news of Qatar bribed FIFA. This time the host was accused of bribe again to win, looks like this world cup will be full of news like this for host if success qualify for round of 16.
Already bet fun on half time with special odds, I'm not sure bet for home "Qatar", although the odds are good but on my side there are many other options I could pick to bet on.

From the very first match things have got to be more hot. The news itself urges everyone to watch the match. Nothing is clear and if Qatar have bribed surely they would've done it in a much secure and in a high confidential way. Based on the article we can't get into conclusion. The match is being scheduled within few days, we'll get the true answer.

[jakdanyel]

It's bad that this kind of news even appeared. Yes, a situation that is likely to be real. However, there may also be speculation that this news is to stir things up. Because media companies love chaos. But I still think it might be real. There have been many international tournaments played before this, but we have not encountered this kind of news. As a result, an unforgettable tournament awaits us in every aspect.

It's one of those hot news, and you can find in almost all the Newspapers.

The fifa world cup was never supposed to be held in Qatar.
It's ridiculous to hold a football event in a country that doesn't even practice this sport.
Obviously this is just another marketing event that Qatar holds like any other, it has nothing to do with football.
About bribery, I believe that this did happen .... because it is a country with money to spare trying to buy another financially poor country.
I'm not going to bet on Qatar, I don't want to feed this mafia!

[yahoo62278]

This is the same country that's spending tons of money invading professional golf, isn't it? The country has a load of oil money so 7.4 million is like a quarter to us. Not a good way to get press for the event though and pretty disrespectful to their own team.

Everything impossible will going to be true (Winning and Champions) if money does the talking. Qatar is one richest country that has money to pay anything, but I'm not sure the government facilitate this for the biggest corruption, maybe this is just a person like their soccer head to retain a handshake, If QFA (Qatar Football Association) make the biggest achievement on world cup, a person as head will be promoted to a higher position.

[Hispo]

I would not be surprised if this news ends up getting buried for the sake of the integrity of the world cup itself.
Let us assume it is true and some member of the Ecuador team decided to leak the offer to the press anonymously, in order to discourage more bribery in the future days; it does not matter, the FIFA won't let these rumors to spread and impact negatively the event.  

[coinerer]

I also heard this news but I'm still not sure about the truth, therefore I still believe Qatar will win with a narrow score of 1 - 0 against Ecuador later in the opening ceremony of the world cup because this is a prestigious event, of course Qatar wants its country to qualify for the last 16, soon world cup is about to start

Both Qatar and Ecuador are likely to win.  So this match is more likely to be a draw but if we want to think on the other side then Ecuador is also a good team as far as I know and Qatar is also known as a good team so predicting between the two teams is becoming very complicated.  But I personally think that tomorrow's match will either be a draw or Ecuador will win from here but let's see what the result is after the match end tomorrow.

Qatar spent $200 billion to renovate stadiums and other needs during the World Cup so the money they promised Ecuador players (if it is true) is still very small. Qatar has not yet responded to this news but I believe it is true what happened (they do bribery). I will still choose Ecuador in this opening match.

this is not good as this event is the most expensive world cup we ever had and seeing these kind of news takes away my trust to the best result of this Cup , How I wish that this is just a bad news and there is no true behind this because this will bring bad effect to the respect of the world in this prestigious events.

You know what will be the effect of that bribery to their players?  do they not trust the ability and capacity of their team? they are the one who represent the competition now and yet they are the one who is breaking the rules?
if I were the players of Qatar ? I think this is the best chance to leave and do not represent the country because this is disrespectful in their part as one of the best team in worldcup.

This is the same country that's spending tons of money invading professional golf, isn't it? The country has a load of oil money so 7.4 million is like a quarter to us. Not a good way to get press for the event though and pretty disrespectful to their own team.

Same view here mate as I am also a sports player and if this happens to me ? i may lose my confident forever as my own country does not trust my skills .

If they offered more money to the Ecuadorian football players when they spent so much money, they would definitely accept it
It's disgusting that they do such a thing. The World Cup had to be one of the most beautiful football organizations in the world. But they are doing unbelievably bad things, bribing football players is not acceptable

[ethereumhunter]

In every event, there will be things like bribery to many people involved in the event and it's not surprising if that also happened at this world cup because we know this world cup requires a lot of money. But if that happens in the match, it isn't good news because it means the match won't be fair and honest. But hopefully, the referees who lead the match can remain fair and honest so that unsportsmanlike things will not taint the match.

But being the host? they should have been careful about this act because as now it is broadcasted then this will damage their reputation and their players emotion , because they are the one who will suffer from this.

is there any chance that we can see if the bribery was accepted ? because if they are going to bribe just for the opening match then they should offer more.

[mindrust]

Didn't surprise me one bit. The other day I saw the news that Qatar is hiring people from Pakistan to create a fake fan audience.

Look at this shit:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11429323/World-Cup-2022-Qatar-accused-paying-hundreds-fake-fans-Tiktok-video.html



And then they banned beer sales...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11442203/Qatar-want-alcohol-sales-World-Cup-stadiums-BANNED.html

Hopefully no sane person will watch these games or bet on them.

A corrupted country like Qatar didn't deserve to be the WC host in the first place. They banned beer, nobody likes them and they are trying to hire people to give an image that they are a lively country which everybody loves and want to visit.

No, Qatar is a shithole which nobody wants to visit or care about.

[swogerino]

They banned beer sales,no kisses allowed and at least 10 other things that are normal and common in our Western society,I was just reading the morning local newspaper and they had opened it with the title "Qatar:The world cup of the wonders" referring to these things that are not permitted.

Now to act like "saints" in doing this and from the other side to go and corrupt and bribe Ecuador players this is truly a horrendous scandal if it is true and this is truly going to be "the world cup of the wonders" if starts in this way.

[Slow death]

I am not a football fan but this is not good for Football sports and the World cup the organizers should do an investigation into the credibility of the events in doubt who would want to see a sporting event where you already know the result this is the number one sport in the world the football community should move to stop corruptions the event will end up not who's the better team but who's country can afford to bribe players, we'll see in the actual game if they will deliberately lose to Qatar, but if Qatar loses then the rumor is not true.

this is probably some rumor just to discredit the ecuador or qatar team, we all know that for this world cup the games will be made and monitored by a vast cutting-edge technology, there will be VAR so there would not be like 8 players or even that if 11 players from ecuador played badly in favor of qatar without everyone realizing that and another point is that even if qatar wins in the first game, nothing guarantees them that they will win in the second and in other games, so it is wasting time and money to try to corrupt some team in the world cup in the group stage, it doesn't make sense to do that

is there any chance that we can see if the bribery was accepted ? because if they are going to bribe just for the opening match then they should offer more.

ecuador plays well, if they are playing very badly, something like intentionally letting goals in then we would presume they were bribed, but i doubt that smart people from ecuador would make a senseless mistake of paying opposing players only to win a game, they know that doing this is useless, there are still many games that they can lose or win, they have no reason to pay players from ecuador

They banned beer sales,no kisses allowed and at least 10 other things that are normal and common in our Western society,I was just reading the morning local newspaper and they had opened it with the title "Qatar:The world cup of the wonders" referring to these things that are not permitted.

these countries of religion could not organize the world cup, they have their habits and strange laws so why did they organize the world cup knowing that they are bringing people with different habits? fifa should review this, so that in the future only countries that have normal laws organize the world cup, that's not possible. I keep asking myself: how many people are going to qatar and will be arrested? because without a doubt, with the stubbornness of people, they will drink and be arrested

[len01]

when I heard the news I preferred not to bet on the match. because for me it is still a suspicion of whether Ecuador really wants to give up the game.
It's normal for everyone before betting to hear the news and cause questions and suspicions that are a little confusing and decide not to bet.
but in my opinion, if indeed Ecuador wants to be bribed, I think it is a mistake. How is it possible that in a world cup match a team chooses money over making their country's name proud (Ecuador)

[RaltcoinsB]

Such a tournament is unacceptable.  Qatar needs to be penalized and disqualified.  If this news reflects the truth, Fifa should investigate it and give the necessary punishment to Qatar.  I wonder how much did those who bribed the opposing team players $ 7.4 million offer to have it in the world cup country?  Never before has a world cup been so poorly managed.
