The World Cup That Should Never Have Happened | Qatar 2022 Documentary 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oof

😂😂😂

Joking aside, might not be a bad one to miss if you are not going to qualify in a World Cup. The Italians can ignore it.

@@matthewcoombs3282 you sound Italian

That´s how you get fast food chains and alcohol sponsoring a sports tournament (even when sale of alcohol in stadiums is banned in some of the host countries but FIFA pressured for it to be allowed) ^^

Ur whole country is built on the backs of slaves and corruption so calm your ass down

"the epitome of all the corruption, greed and evil in the modern world" that is your beloved USA.

Let it be last in a middle eastern country Just like Beijing 2022

There are so many things wrong in today's society that giving a world cup to qatar is an afterthought imo

@@Micfri300 No, you can't separate the two. It's not an afterthought, it's a symptom of the so many things wrong in today's society. And as the biggest sporting event in the world after the summer olympics, it's too big to be an afterthought. Why do you think these regimes spend hundreds of millions on bribe alone?

@@andrew7taylor business companies that avoid paying taxes and at the same time dictating what our social values should be is 100000x times more detrimental to humanity than a world cup being held in a nation that has traditional Islamic beliefs.

@@Micfri300 it's all part of the same pot of corruption, being angry at business exploitation doesn't mean we have to ignore a country doing similar things

Qatar was paying more 🤑🤑

@@milanlabus1582 the time zone is the only negative about Australia but still rather have it there than Qatar

@@romiarkan450 it would be amazing. People from all over the globe would flood there for the tournament.

Fifa has a history of corruption. The Korea Japan wc where South Korea unfairly beat Italy and Spain to reach semi finals.

Wow I didn't know that about Cruyff. Are England players going to "take the knee" in Qatar? That would be the ultimate sick irony.

Don't know if true but I read he and his family got threatened with guns

I don't know if I'd call it boycott, but that was such an ultra giga chad move, his family was threatened and they had to leave Barcelona. You know it's real when your family is in danger.

@@Anygodwilldo I also didn’t know that about Cruyff …huge respect to him. With all the so called support that footballers give to issues, who else really would boycott the said country and forego their own selfish aims.

If you think about it no nation is realy worthy of the FIFA world cup snce they all are involved in murdering or inslaving ppl. If for insance we are gowing to complain of Russia being the host and now invading Ukraine why not complain of the USA and the fact they have started the molst wars in the las 20-30 years or Mexico and its drug and wepons cartels that run the nation ( Canada is too nice to bother anyone i gues ). For me the sport is important not the host nation since that is politics not sport.

Look at his face at 3:37 . Alfie has been brainwashed by Reddit Atheism. It’s sad because he really sees himself and his ideology as the arbiter of morality on the globe. Little does he know that he ideology will be washed away by reactionary Christian forces that are rising throughout the Anglosphere. He’ll wish that he was friendly to these people when he is frozen out of this new beautiful system

Those who need to see it, won't

That’s a good comparison. He is like Christopher Hitchen. Look at this goofy Reddit atheists face at 3:37 . This is the face of the moral arbiter of human affairs on the planet. Too bad people like him will soon be washed away by a Christian and white reactionary tide that is sweeping the Anglosphere. He will be forgetting just like Christopher Hitchens will be lmao

Hmm hitchens. The biggest, worst over inflated ego of all time. But if you like him that's your ting

Garry Neville knows what he’s talking about. Have you ever been to an Arab state? Have you spoken to women there? (Trying to learn some Arabic would help). Have you thought that perhaps they truly believe that they need a man guardian because that’s what Allah wants? You’ll be surprised how wrong you are and patronising it is, by thinking that you know better about what’s good for them than themselves. If I’m not wrong, you’re from Hull and the vast majority of your neighbours voted to legalise racism in 2016 and to put a PM in Downing Street who calls those Qatari “poor women” (they’re actually very very rich. Not the foreign ones though) - letterboxes; then perhaps we shouldn’t really judge them. I think our dear leader is actually taking notes on how to rule a country.

One more thing… when we were selected to host the World Cup in around 1960 even being gay was illegal. The treatment of our hero’s even (Alan Turing for example) was so appalling that they chose to kill themselves over suffering as criminal test bunnies.

Mate ....your nonsense about "contrarians" and "whataboutism" are all just that. Nonsense. Those are idiotic tactics thought up by conservatives as a way to weave away anyone pointing out their hypocrisy and double standards. And that is as ever the case here. Here's the thing......I agree with you about Qatar. They never should have been given it based on FIFA's own supposed rules and values. But the problem as ever is that even if we apply the moral standard to Qatar.....which it most assuredly fails...... then that same moral standard has to be applied equally across the board to all countries. And you know damn well that it never will be. Especially when it concerns Western countries. If we actually applied moral standards that disqualified countries from hosting the FIFA world cup....as well as other major sporting events .....then the US should not be allowed to host it either given their military actions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The invasions, bombings of civilians and long occupations of these countries should by itself disqualify the US from hosting major sporting events. To say nothing of the fact they have the largest percentage of the population in jail of any country in the world. Most of those people being black. Who are forced to work for next to nothing in the US prison system making products for many American companies. But we both know damn well that the "rules" will only be applied to Qatar because it's a non Western, non white country. And that's one of the main reasons people like you advocate for it against Qatar even though you would never so for the US or other such Western countries. And you can spin that any way you want but it's bald faced hypocrisy. So....since clearly there are no standards (except for double standards) and clearly the rules are not applied to everyone equally then there is no point complaining about the ridiculousness of the FIFA world cup being given to Qatar. And it's not as if FIFA actually gives a shit now do they? FIFA is corrupt as hell and only cares about money. And since the West long ago lost any and all credibility, as well as any moral high ground on anything..... anything the West says is just empty and hollow.

No country of both region has made it to the world cup 😎

@Google User that has literally nothing to do with this video

@@GoogleUser-xd5fi not true. India qualified for the 1950 tournament. They just withdrew before the start of it

@@GoogleUser-xd5fi Indonesia actually did qualified in 1938 as a Dutch colony (Dutch East Indies), this is also the only time in history where both a colony and the colonizer country qualified for the same World Cup, I would honestly say that 2026 may likely see either Thailand or Vietnam qualifying for the first time and also the first time a Southeast Asian country (geographically) qualified since 1938 due to the 4 extra spots available for AFC nations,

I won’t be watching it either I usually do but because it’s in Qatar anyone that watches it is a disgraceful human being

Russians can blame their favourite person putin for that

Same thing 😂

i was about to say the same thing... thought i alone noticed...

Well fifa have 880 million reasons not to acknowledge it

Just like many other areas in modern society corrupt people will bemoan the corruption of others, except when (or, at least until) they get a piece of the pie.

Wazi mtu wetu

Fifa doesn't have a moral compase it has money laundret.

So your telling me that FIFA banned the Kenyan FA because they kicked out a team due to corruption?

The last two a good reasons but for me the first 2 are okay as for me since I live in Australia it is summer and the final is actually on my birthday. And Qatar did win the Asian Cup and did well in the rounds they played in wcq qualifying they finished above Oman who in turn had a decent 4th finish in the last round and also beat the likes of Japan

It literally being in one of the hottest and driest places should have been enough reason not to do it from the start

@Zack Smith Yes, your comment makes all the sense. 🙄

@Zack Smith How is the description like the usa?

@Zack Smith What's to counter? That you made a silly comparison between Qatar and the US?

Tifo yes but this channel is shit. His takes on footballers is alarming.

Football Iconic is pretty good too. But HITCSevens gives a fantastic broad coverage of the game.

Tifo without the Athletic was much better... The Athletic has actually dumbed down the channel.

Meh fuck no, Atmosphere was trash as fuck, Stadiums were barely filled, the Games weren’t competitive enough. Qatar National Team was laughable, the workers who died there under terrible circumstances. This can’t be the best WC of all time Lmao.

@@kevonseymourks2790 "games weren't competitive enough" maybe you should have actually watched the wc before commenting

@@yuhin4694 They weren’t as competitive as the previous ones due to the injuries but you might be to young to even witness 1998 or 70‘-80‘. Qatar WC was full of injured nations who weren’t even close to fully healthy. It was an entertaining WC but certainly not the best 🤣.

@@kevonseymourks2790 sure buddy

Amazed the main European footballing FAs didn't form a breakaway from FIFA after Russia and Qatar corruption. It is FIFA that needs boycotting not just the WC.

respect my guy, sorry you have to feel for your national team like this but at least you have the morality to accept that what your country is doing is straight up evil

Fifa no sports organisations only care about money sadly

FIFA only cares about one thing 🤑

It's not exclusive to football. Just this whole sanction thing isn't a moral outrage by the west, just interests being threatened (although these will hurt the West more than Russia but that's another matter entirely). US doing US things in the middle east for so long now , Azerbaijan waging war on Armenia that no one cares about, we just had a Saudi Arabia grand prix in Formula 1 , just a few examples.

@@lukashradecky5492 Just like IOC. Only about money.

@@MrTsogl How do you know that people aren't morally outraged by one country attacking its neighbour? What interests are being threatened? Why are they threatened right now if definitely not because of the war? Shutting off Russian imports might hurt European interest in the short-term. But as one of the biggest markets in the world, the EU has money to buy those products from elsewhere. In contrast, Russia's economy is too corrupt, politicised and energy-focused to not be hurt by sanctions. Who would have the same money to sell their fossile fuels to if 800 million Europeans turn away? Putin was asking that same question, although interestingly he never asked how would US doing horrible things in Asia allow Russia doing horrible things in Ukraine? If he condemns one, then he should condemn the other and not order the attack, shouldn't he? Or how only the US taking part in the Syrian civil war would destroy the country, but not when Russia helps Assad bomb his own country back into the Stone Age? Or how the Azeri-Armenian conflict is a century old, started by Soviet meddling that Putin is oh so nostalgic for, and as a proxy war between Russia and Turkey for a strategic upper hand in the Caucasus, Russia extremely cares about? I don't know whether you deliberately or subconciously did it. But good job mindlessly repeating Russian propaganda.

Why don’t you make your own video since you know so much

What are these habits n rituals?

For the record, I do not condone: slave labor or practices, shody business deals or bribes. But practically every major summer/winter Olympics has been scandalous. South Africia was boycotted and scantioned for apartheid. If individuals/players/teams/countries feel no strongly about Qatar, boycott and blackout game telecasts and advertising. No national who qualified will quit the tournament. Money, trade and politics are deeply interwoven. "Tailgating" - The coming together of throngs of people to eat, drink, sing, celebrate, dance, tell stories pre and post game. Usually in open areas like parks, parking lots. In developed cities - bars, cafés, pubs, staged areas around game day entrances.

rolandtb3 You worry abt a potential "upsurge"in crime? How funny that is after South Africa, Brasil and Russia! Let me guess...you are looking for cheap Qatari hookers?

@@mumar7867 Drinking, chanting, occasional brawling, pissing in public spaces.

Camel and potty parties.....I have heard the stories and will say no more. Let''s just say those instragram girls in Dubai are not always what they seem....

I believe it. My sister worked as a singer in Abu Dhabi - she saw rich Saudis and Qataris getting completely wankered in front of her as she was trying to sing! It was mainly rich Saudis, crossing the border so that they could get drunk ... then going back across the border to resume their role as the judgmental muslim that hates booze. It didn't help that she was extremely beautiful, in her early 20s ... but she managed to fend them off, on her own, in a foreign country thousands of miles from home. [you can guess I'm extremely proud of her]

Seen human trafficking victims in dubai (women) its a nasty nasty place it was actually too sad a place for me to stay to work ..false and no regards for human life

This all buildings in Dubai,Qatar, give a fake vibe

All that region is a cesspool of decadence, it's all about extreme hedonism even though they do love to lecture everybody else about Islam. You may say I am biased but I see these people as lazy, spoiled, twisted, soft and incapable of achieving anything unless westerners come to their help.

If any change should be made in the lengt of matches, should be make them shorter

Nope, like giving it to Wigan and Burnley.

You can’t compare Winter Olympics with World Cup. I would like to see World Cup in Middle East, but maybe in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco (countries with a rich football history) not Qatar

@Zack Smith are you trolling

@Zack Smith Where does he mention race? This is about corruption, LGBTQ+ rights, death of migrant workers.

@Zack Smith You ignored the points I made about stadium quality then? USA gets away with it? They are currently looking at their ex president's corruption and crimes. Please give fact checked examples and sources for where they get away with it and other countries do not?

Hopefully we see a change! great opinion btw

@@petesmart1983 Yep. But at that time, it was obvious, evidence was huge, people got banned and everyone knew about it. I'm sure it still goes on now, but they've learned their lesson on how to keep it quiet. Russia and Qatar picked for consecutive world cups. Wow! The money and 'gifts' swapping hands must have been huge.

The way you say “three” though kills me lmao It’s aggressive as hell

If you are looking for a niche but non football example, the Asian Mixed Martial Arts games in Turkmenistan is a good one to look into. 50,000+ stadium and a complex built in a country that’s less free than North Korea.

@@chriswoodtoarsenal 💀☠️

You bring up a great point, one that I've wondered as well: Why do Qatar even want to host it to begin with? Sure, it'll be a great event for the 4 weeks in which it's happening, but after that you have everything you've mentioned that will hardly ever be used again. It's like the Qatari government has infinite money and just decided to use an absolutely sickening amount of it for their own entertainment.

@@Joel-js2gk it will have no impact on the take up of football anong their citizens and will have jo impact with regards to a boost to their economy. In fact why would they even need a boost? They don't. I conclude therefore that it is strictly an ego stroking thing among the powers that be.

Look at Shariah, it is there for the protection of 6 things: Religion Life: no murdering, etc. Property: no theft, usury, etc. Lineage: no premarital sex, adultery, polyandry, homosexuality Intellect: no intoxicants or gambling Honor Homosexual acts is in clear violation of 4 and possibly 6 if premarital. Look, there are people in society that have NO problem with consenting premarital sex, or harmless drinking alcohol, etc. It is so commonplace especially in the West, but these are also against Islam. You can go ahead and do it, but it is against the teachings of the Quran. Also, it is not just homosexuality but it is also sodomy and certain other perversion people of Lot did. Two halal married people cannot have anal sex. With that said, muslims should not ostracize or insult those who sin, we should forgive and help if they are genuine. Allahu A'lam

Any type of discrimination, is still discrimination. Doesn't matter if it was written in the Qur'an or in my 5 year old's notebook, it's still discrimination.

Its 2022 dude. Wake up. Its just a silly book.

Bro, it doesn't matter, would you say its okay if The bible said to eliminate all muslins? Of course not, same thing with The quran, being a religion is not a "get out of jail free card" for being a cun'

even alcohol isn't allowed in your religion yet Muslims still drink it.

Indeed, most people don't care. Some even roll their eyes or get angry at me when I point out how this WC should be boycotted.

Yep. The first WC after many years I will omit to watch completely and have no regrets about that.

I know people will mention the one in Russia but at least people weren’t killed over there this one is probably the worst in terms of the country it’s held at by some distance

@@psykkomancz I won’t be watching it either for the 1st time as well

@@LiamK-ep6fs On the other hand, the Russia Cup did help booster Putin's popularity within his country, as well as distract the world from his threats to Ukrainian sovereignty - two things that, even if to a lesser extent, helped lead to the current situation we have in Ukraine. Qatar deserved to have been stripped off the Cup, but by similar standards (namely not allowing the WC to be used by corrupt, authoritarian, discriminatory regimes to booster their own popularity) so should Russia.
