#Qatar #2022FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022
ARGENTINA VS BRAZIL THE FINAL GAME.
They can’t be In a final together. Only in semifinals
Qatar is all set to host this fantastic sport event!
After killing thousands of workers
@Onward Gaming And ensuring none of the workers are lgbt or anything that offends allah, otherwise punishments must be held.
I believe they can do it. But what does it changes!
Tall buildings, fancy stuffs , rich lifestyles and now trying to make the west accept them. Even after all this , people living in this countries don’t live well. Islam needs to come back to our lives .
Amidst all the controversy and negativity thrown at Qatar as a Kenyan I wish the very best to Qatar and her people, the world cup shall be a success. Inshallah.
@ACE MAN I thought it was 2,000 workers…
Inshallah
Where is the negativity?
Am working as security in one of the stadiums that will host the world and you can’t believe the money that they paying us very minimal below average.. supreme committee are supposed to give us better pay
QATAR ACTS = SOUNDS LIKE CATARACT’S??? HOW DIFFERENTIATE???
How a corrupt nation can hold a great event like this boggles the mind .
@Sheikh Waleed Mir Al-Butin lives matter… Money is temporary
Literally Australia would’ve been better
@nigerian prince🤴🏿 Australia would’ve been awesome.
third world country with wealth in the pockets of a lucky few cavemen, sad how this went through. what happens after the cup is over? Most of this construction will remain empty for eternity. dubai already has the same empty hotel problem. what tourism? most football fans wouldnt enjoy this country, there isnt much to do
soulless cultureless country… enjoy your glass buildings and white BMWs
BOYCOTT INDIA
(WHO) Dr Tadros Adhanom general pandmic
WHO COVID19 pandmic
8/6/2022
For more then
Use to
Indians should ban qatar football
😅
safe place .
Qatar has murdered 7,000 African slaves in hard labor in order to build the stadiums for the World Cup and people want to celebrate on their own blood. How can it be that a rich country like Qatar with the highest GDP in the world does not pay its slaves and forcibly enslave them to the death of 7000 people just for sports. This World Cup must be boycotted
RSS supporters: no no no please stop this happening
Lol
Propaganda machine al bhikari
Aaaa Qataris preach one thing and do quite the opposite
. Worst country in the world for the human rights and the right of law
Shame on them
Qatar supporting terrorists all around the globe and their al jal jeera English speaking terrorists
Trouble with western media is they are always looking for a negatives in an Arab led events. What they forget to mention is Qatar has poured in billions of dollars towards brand new construction with state of art features in a very short space of time. Take five brand new stadiums with five star facilities and flights to take them back on same day without having to spend for accommodations. Great effort by Qatar Governments. *********** CONGRATULATIONS ********************
lets hope it fails for dignity’s sake
More than 7000 worker’s died for this wc. People around the world should know this
Only 7,000??
Is anyine talking about the high temperaturs in Aqatar,deaths brought by tempe,availability of water.
That’s why they are playing November-December.
Normally the World Cup is played June-July, but those months are too hot in Qatar, so they are playing in the “colder” months.
God bless Qatar
If South Africa hosted world cup and it was successful with all the negative views including poverty i believe Qatar will be much more successful than even Russia and each and every one will never forget about Qatar
What do you know about South Africa? Doos…
The UCL final was a disaaster cause Saint Denis is a rougher area around Paris. There are a lot of people living there under poor circumstances that tried taking advantage of fans coming in. I’m not saying people won’t be trying to steal tickets or anything in Qatar but I doubt it will be as bad as in Saint Denis.
It won’t happen in Qatar. Not even close
Different country, different rules, different population.
Like you said, all that happened because the people from that neighborhood tried to take advantage of the situation.
Qatar is a conservative country with a lot of wealth. There is no poverty and crime is strictly punished . It’s very safe to walk around wearing expensive things too.
Qatar people don’t know how to work that’s why they get in labourers from India and Asian countries
I hope Qatar national team can reach at least quarter final in this World Cup.
We need another asian football powerhouse other than South Korea and Japan.
I want to see Qatar beat Iran in World Cup match between group A winner against runner up group B.
Much love from Indonesia.
Qatar no way buddy
How about Australia?
Qatar world cup will be most futuristic looking world cup ever since all stadiums looks so modern, modern infrastructure hotels etc no shanti towns in around stadiums.
house rental getting higher too expensive
I am so excited! Much love from America.
Weren’t we terrorist 1years ago and get hate for no reason
Accommodation is expensive in Qatar. There is no free market and bookings are done through their official site. If you are a bigger group villas work out to be cheaper. We booked an 8 person villa for 2300 qar per night (630 USD).
$630 per night?????
For real?
U stayed at an expensive place
God bless u qatar.and God help you.thnx u so much qatar gov.from pakistan
Hope Qatar go bankrupt
Love sports
Love Qatar
Love multiculture
Love to repsect all and each other
Make this event wonderful… days ever we had.
@حاشر المصطفى٩١ lol you must be a comedian.
@حاشر المصطفى٩١ Is that why gays are punished there? I guess that’s not cultural, but not really tolerant of Qatar.
@Jesse Roberts Gays are against our religion amd since Qatar is a Muslim country it is banned in Qatar and when ppl from other countries come to Qatar they have to respect it and people from all most all parts of the world are living in Qatar if you have the guts go ask them their life in Qatar and first of all being gay dosent even make sense and people like you are just jealous because the world cup in Qatar is going to be the best world cup in the history
@حاشر المصطفى٩١ I don’t care about sports in the slightest, so all I’m seeing from Qatar is human right violations and poor worker conditions as thousands got killed building a stupid stadium which only hurts the earth a ton. But OmG sPoRtS. Btw I’m from Canada, not the nicest country still, but we at least get to enjoy not worrying about our own views/preferences getting us hurt.
Best wishes.🤲💕
Rules there are too harsh so protestors dare not be in their jail 🤣🤣
QUESTION … does anyone know how to watch the World Cup for free?
There are thousands of Cruise ships and Shipping liners that went bankrupt during covid. Why dont they just hire them to park and host guests on the shoreline??? This way the country doesnt have to scramble with hotels. When the Cup is over, send the ships back to where they came from. And they will have made some money to recover from their covid losses
The western people doing all they can just to make this World Cup dirty but I hope everything goes well because this game is for everyone around the world and each of everyone has right to.
Nice to know the country is going to have a skyline of empty luxury hotels from 2023 onwards – I guess they’ll just gradually crumble back into the desert, and mix with the bones of those who died building them.
BOYCOTT!
Improved 🤣🤣🤣
Insha Allah
Qatar will set an example of hosting and hospitality that never happened and never will.
We will proud of Qatar as a Muslim countrie♥️♥️♥️🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦
That same hospitality it showed migrant workers, yeah right. This is the most inhumane inhospitable world cup we’ve ever had
@M DGAF cry me a river.
People should visit Qatar this time to see arsb cultures and how Qatar managed this event. I5 will be a very successful event.
There’s nothing good to see or do.. And Arab culture idk what to say. Those people treats workers horrible.
Mr emir of qatar. Your region has suffered and will suffer due to your horrible mentality. You guys treat workers as slave. Slavery still exist in Arab world. My wish not so good for you.
i wonder what they are saying in Arabic
Im coming from Canada 🇨🇦
I can’t wait 🖤
You gonna be arrested
@Luis Fernando tell me you are jelouse without telling it..😆😆
Welcome.. We await you
Same! Still can’t get a hotel though 🙁
Let’s go Qatar, show’em that world cup will be success. Greeting from Indonesian
@NotToDay that was South Africa 2010 (vuvuzela) , and South Korea 2002 (cheating).
Qatar is the host and they won’t score one goal.
@ال الزدجال 2010 how
@ال الزدجال 😂It is already the worst before the event even started. They bribed FIFA to host the worldcup, moved it to winter, and thousands of workers died building stadiums
@ال الزدجال ur delusional
Building this has cost 6500 deaths of foreign workers treated like slaves. How come Qatar owned Al Jazeera have not said a beep about this?
How much did the Country pay to be shortlisted?
Probably this will be deleted…
No hotels available for booking in Qatar since 2 months
Qatar 🇶🇦 love ❤ 😍 💖
Mega pandemic during that time ! The world will be in total mayhems of war financial crash mega crash natural disasters etc! So welcome my son welcome to end world of machine! 🔥
all the best to Qatar 🙌🏽 well deserved. 😍
It will be the worst World Cup ever.
Wishing you guys All best from 🇳🇬
So the past 3 world cups have had at least 3 million people attend, but qatar only expecting up to 1 million? How does that make sence?
Qatar is pretty expensive.The fifa tickets, air tickets, accommodations,food,commute .Eevrything together its not gonna be every football fans cup of tea.
@G U E S S sounds like no one wants to go
Boycott Qatar …. Boycott Fifa…….Qatar supports muslim jehadi…. dictator Xitler Chinese propaganda
Hope Qatar world cup cases gone up and lockdown lol
They said South Africa wont be ready or safe to visit for the 2010 World Cup… Qatar can and will be ready… Show us…
For America such a big country they will share world cup venues across three countries as Canada ,Mexico and US ,whereas for qatar it hosts solely with just active population of just 2.5million less ,it’s a corrupt decision to give the rights to qatar ,and there is no purpose of improvement in football there ,and human rights violation against migrant workers ,,poor pay ,poor accommodation,and worst working condition with above 50deg Celsius hot temperature
Qatar forfeit the world cup, please many loves could be in danger or resign to save lives for love!
Comment section just full of bots…
Always will be shadows by how bad they treat the workers who build the stadium and those who died building it
We are a French family, 8 plus, and we can’t wait to watch all of the French group matches. I booked my hotel at Doha 16 months ago, well in advance. People rarely adequately prepare for big events like this. Can’t wait to see our national team repeat as champs.
Ok baguette
Almost every road in doha has construction of some sorts and it stays like that for years. It’s a mess when comes to project management.
yes, when I was there, they build roads with sidewalk about at least 4-5 meters long, then they will destroy it after a month and make shorter. like a foot and a half.
then destroy it again when they think of another things to put into like sewage system. the country lacks centralize planning
RIP for workers who sacrifices their life for build Stadium of FIFA world Cup Qatar 2022😢
Yeah a lot of had sacrifice their life without even compensation
@SHARMA yes. Qatar also payed FIFA for hide for it
Shame of u you Qatar.
Not just one of the biggest sports events, it is the biggest sport event.
@Titus McCarthy 3.572 billion people saw the last world cup
@Luyz Qint There is a difference between “biggest” and “most watched”. Olympics has more sports and more money spent on it.
@Titus McCarthy Ok, whatever rocks your boat.
@Luyz Qint It is the largest one sport event in the world. That is true. It isn’t the largest sporting event in the world.
@Titus McCarthy When we are talking about the biggest sporting event in the world we are not talking about it’s sporting capacity, but things like it’s viewership, revenue, fanfare, legacy, hype, and overall cultural relevance – it’s grandeur. As a result the World Cup, although only one sport, most definitely takes that title, as nothing truly compares to the one month where people all across the world unite to support their country/region in achieving the biggest prize in sport.
I went to Russia 2018, but I will not go to Qatar for the way they treat women and foreign workers.
@Titus McCarthy No. Unless you saw something that I missed, because in my experience (and did not stay in a hotel, because I wanted to have the personal interaction with regular Russians), I didn’t see what I was told my whole life about Russia.
However, when it came to rights of gay people, that I was told by Russians that it was illegal to have a public display, however, there were places where they got together.
But for the most part, I didn’t see what the US propaganda kept telling us.
I wonder if they will ban unvaccinated players as well.
Qatar puts religion over diversity and human rights… a classic radical move
The worst world cup in history. No drinking, no chanting and 100 degree weather. Why why??
@Nelson Benavides well simple advice for you , do not come stay where you are.
Will bring no respect or wealth to gulf. Hosting fifa and Olympics destroyed host countries
Boycott this world cup as much as possible
Qatar has a terrible heat fo athletes
‘One of’ the worlds largest sports event? It is THE largest
Hey Al , please update on the number of migrant labour’s death during the forceful exploitation while building the stadium ..
Qatar murdered 100s of workers for this fraud cup. Players would be playing on the dead bodies of humans. Modern day slave work.
It’s 2022 and we let people with cavemen ideals host a world event. Insecure weak men in Qatar
I’ll be working in Rotana city center, doha during the world cup.. i hope to see you all there.
I hope things go well. It’s so nice of Islam to participate. “Labor” accusations should remember that foreign help creates a hunger to improve conditions back home . . . and regional finance is usually mere formalities.
2:10 estimate 5Billion will watch… that 3/4 of the world population watch football match …
impossible
🖕qatar equals slavery
The stadiums in Qatar aren’t located in crappy areas full of bored & unruly immigrant teenagers. It should be fine!
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩love quter
Ideal location for slave labor camps to build these rich venues that no one will use for years to come. No one is going to this world cup, dude. Prime example of a wasted bribery
There is nothing to see in qatar, dude. So many migrant slave labor camps that have failed so much. Bribery got them nothing

Less crime ratio, one the safest country in the world..
“ONE OF THE WORLDS BIGGEST SPORTING EVENTS”? It is the world’s biggest sporting event.
LGBTQ Rights in Qatar 🏳🌈
Human Rights ❌
Boycott Qatar World Cup ❌
There was hardly any migrant deaths caused due to building stadiums or infrastructure. People just like hating in this day and age for someone who is doing good. Yeah they bought the World Cup but so did Russia and so did USA. That’s Fifa’s fault.
Qatar World Cup 2022 – Built on the bodies of 6700 poor migrant workers.
They were trapped by seizing thier passport, so that, they can’t leave, then tortured and then forced to work 12 to 18 hrs a day in 50 degree Celsius heat until they died. If you’re supporting this country and the game, you’re supporting the tyranny and the cruelty…Boycott Qatar World Cup 2022…
oh boy. horrible.
The most stupid choice for a world cup its here in Qatar and has a lot of problem with human rights
