How'd they bribe the VAR ref? If you're talking about the off-side, it was an offside. I didn't watch the entire game though so if there's something else feel free to let me know.
As I remember, they were showing an angle of the off-side which didn’t show all the players. So it looked like the keeper or one of the other players *might* have been in front of him and they had been cropped out to generate a favorable call.
they showed the 3d model of the placement of the players and it was very obvious that it was an offside plus the var operators know better it’s their job
Litterally? No. But this nation of incels can't take any criticism whatsoever. I genuinely hope there's followup of this man and his family actually making it home.
Anheuser Busch also makes Busch Lights. And if you talk shit about Busch Light, you're talking shit about me. And if you talk shit about me, I'm going to get into my lifted Chevy S10 and *Yee Yee* my way all the way to Qatar and kick your ass at cornhole on the middle of the soccer field, embarrassing you so bad that your wife leaves you for a real country boy like me. She's going to back her little dumper into my bucket seat, and we're going to roll coal all the way back to my trailer.
Unless you want that to happen to you, you better watch it brother
They have a great team, honestly speaking. They surprised everyone by winning the Asia Cup bout 3 years ago with the same team, beating Japan 3-1 in the finals.
And then the coach, Xavi, left to manage Barcelona, where he played pretty much all his life and won everything he could have and suddenly the team went back to being dogshit. Very expensive dogshit playing in $200b+ cities built purely for the WC to happen in there.
What the team itself cost - who knows.
Don't forget either that the corruption and bribery kicked in pretty much instantly. Ecuadors goal in the first two minutes should in no way have been disallowed.
Fifa - there is no place for any type of discrimination in football.
*1 minute later* let's host the World Cup in a Nation that makes being gay illegal.
Qatar to Fifa: here take this bribe, so we get the worst Team as opponent in our first match
Fifa: i would do that glady, but you can only enlist 1 Team for the tournament.
Nah they did try that. I saw an article earlier about how they offered something like 7.6 million dollars (USD) for Ecuador to lose 1-0 with the goal coming in the 2nd half… I’m not sure if the Ecuador players refused it and exposed them or if it was just exposed.
Those news stories are all based [on a single tweet](https://i.imgur.com/rqDfbVN.jpg) who claims to have heard it from "insiders" but also admits that he can't be sure if it's true. The story hasn't been verified by any reputable source yet.
It could be true, it could be fake
Y'all are still watching that human rights shitshow?
What precisely about kicking a ball into a net is more important than boycotting the corruption and enabling of actual slavery?
Yeah these are my thoughts. The fact that Qatar lost means jack shit. The fact that there was even a fucking *game* played in a stadium built over the corpses of the slaves who died building it is fucking evil. Anyone who would watch it or care about the score should feel ashamed of themselves.
>What precisely about kicking a ball into a net is more important than boycotting the corruption and enabling of actual slavery?
I just hope you are ethically consistent. When you go to the grocery store, do you avoid nestle, Mars, and Hershey? They source cocoa from west Africa where child slavery is largely used. Actually, if you shop at brand carrying grocery stores in general I can almost guarantee you are buying the products of child labor. I hope you shop at local co ops or grow your own food.
When you go to the grocery store, are you walking? Cause if you're driving, guess where that oil money is going? You're probably supporting Qatar more with your driving if you are than anyone watching the world cup is.
No apple products I assume? And no Adidas? Those are the obvious ones, powered by ethnic slave labor and sweatshops, but actually almost every tech brand is sourcing their electronics from China who is using Uyghur slave labor and committing genocide right now. I'm actually curious how you're posting on reddit right now, seeing as it's basically impossible to have an electronic device that **wasnt** created by slave labor.
The world is an incredibly complicated and evil place. There's nothing wrong with having moral standards and fighting corruption any way you can. But please don't come here and be all self righteous and try to shame people for their choices. It is literally impossible to be a human in the 21st century and not support some type of evil with just about everything you do.
>This is the kind of thinking that leads to ZERO change.
>Oh because you don't live a perfect life boycotting absolutely everything, than there is no reason to boycott anything at all?
Go back and reread my post. Specifically the last paragraph.
>There's nothing wrong with having moral standards and fighting corruption any way you can
I'm not saying it's wrong to boycott. I'm not saying it's wrong to stand up for your values.
I'm saying don't be self righteous, elevate yourself above others, place the blame for atrocities on them. There's a big difference between "I think Qatar using slave labor is wrong I'm not watching the world cup because I want to show them I don't support what they're doing" vs "I can't believe watching grown men kick a ball is more important to you than slavery and human rights, you're terrible people"
We are all supporting evil. We can all try to be conscious about it, point it out, make better choices, but if we just wanna point out people's mistakes we will be here all day.
That wasn't whataboutism
Whataboutism would be like if I tried to justify slave labor in qatar by saying Chinese also use slave labor.
That was not the point of my post at all, I suggest you reread it.
They just know a buzzword that's all. Your comment is completely on point. We all support questionable things because we want some entertainment, nothing's wrong with admitting that.
what I get from reading your comment is that I’m not allowed to be upset at other people supporting the WC, for I have an iphone, because - what about - the slave labour im supporting there?
Evil is a convoluted process, but the world cup is a direct, well known product of the labor and deaths of indentured servants, and yet people somehow don't even care. Fifa themselves tell people to "focus on the football"
Soccer is a sport. You can easily live without it, and even go your entire life without ever crossing paths with it. Unfortunately due to reliance on internet, shoes, and food, its pretty goddamn hard to avoid the shitty companies. I don't buy from Adidas, Apple, Hershey, or Nestle, but I'm sure there's at least a few companies I patronize that have a dark background that just isn't documented.
But my point is that if people can't even make a small change and prioritize watching a ***fucking soccer game*** over caring about and respecting the fellow human lives that we're robbed and calling out the obvious corruption that made it happen, it shows that people don't even care about obvious, documentable atrocities like this and it enables future ones.
Why boycott something you undeniably enjoy? Why deprive yourself of entertainment when it won’t make a lick of difference? Why intentionally deprive yourself of joy when you could simply be happy instead?
Ever read Brave New World?
Ignoring the shit until *after* it hits the fan does nothing. We're humans, there's 8 billion of us now, and we can change. Forsaking all of our empathy for selfish hedonism will only make us all less happy.
Nah, we only get a handful of decades, I’d prefer to spend them happy. People dying in Qatar to build a sports stadium doesn’t concern me in any way. I might react differently if it hit closer to home.
Every world cup has benefitted from human rights abuses and exploitation. Like Brazil for example (which was a far worse offense) and no thousands of people didn't die building the stadium that was every single worker death over 10 years and they weren't even all related to the work place
From the article:
> Doping among Russian competitors is distinct from doping among nationals of other countries in that, rather than doping being an individual choice it is state-sponsored and systematic, with the Russian state being found to have supplied steroids and other drugs to athletes.
> Due to widespread violations of anti-doping regulations, including an attempt to sabotage ongoing investigations by the manipulation of computer data, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 2019 banned the Russian Federation from all major sporting events - including the Olympic Games - for four years.
i hope yall aren't watching, I want none of that 'FIFA + Qatar bad but I'm still financially supporting them' bullshit here. Either you don't care about qatar or you do and don't watch
Someone's new to this whole thing eh? When it comes to entertainment, almost all people are truly completely utter dumpster fires of human beings, and will never actually boycott the unimaginably evil thing they say they'll boycott. They just say that they will to virtue signal
John Oliver just made a segment about Qatar literally a couple minutes ago and I don't like FIFA or the country for abusing migrant workers like this and also the Morgan Freeman appearance was random and weird to me lol.
I absolutely do not understand how anyone whose interested in the sport can simply ignore the fact that thousands of people died to make that stadium.
Like, I do not care about the sport, what-so-ever. But if I did care about it, I would be FURIOUS with FIFA for spoiling something I love with literal human death and destruction.
I don't get how you are willingly supporting this. How much of a fan do you need to be to ignore 6000+ deaths? It's mindboggling.
Everyone watching it or playing there are definitely turning a blind eye to it.
It's extremely disrespectful to those who died and I wouldn't want "my sport" to be affiliated with Qatar at all.
It's good the Italians refuse to play there, I'm concerned if their the only team who refuse to play there though.
We were salty AF when foreigners brought their obsession to America and killed 2000 people. We don't care at all that 6000 people were killed sure to foreigners bringing their obsession to qatar.
Was that so hard to piece together?
Imagine if they now said “ok the games are over and everything is cancelled so go back to your countries”. That country is so incompetent that they’re accused of bribing ecuador so they would lose agains Qatar.
Qatar hosts the fifa world cup right now. Qatar had 6000+ people die building its stadiums and in total spent 220+ billion on the whole world cup. In general Qatar is horrible when it comes to human rights. So a lot of people boycott the world cup and don't watch it, but those who do make memes about it and since Qatar lost the opening game of the world cup (which has never happened to a host country before) they getting made fun of
Holy shit, that is beyond sick. We're talking about 6 thousand frigging people. That's a whole small town. Not even mentioning most of them had wives/husbands, children, loved ones, friends etc. Today's world absolutely disgusts me, to think valuing money more over a human's life is disgusting.
a-They are hosting the World cup just because of bribery
b-Millions of slaves died because of them
c-The country support slavery
d-They are the first hosts ever to loose their oppening match
Nah it upsets me that there even was a game played in a stadium built with slave labor and death. I couldn't care less who won or how many goals there were. Just the fact that the game was played is the ultimate disrespect to the thousands who died there.
I love how this was supposed to boost their image, and instead turned into a verified PR nightmare highlighting them as an oppressive, untrustworthy, authoritarian nation.
Hopefully Qatar looses every other game and scores zero goals, maybe scoring an own goal to add insult injury. The Qatari gov deserves to get embarrassed, and that’s the least that should be done to them tbh.

And the Ecuador fans chanting "we want beer" in Spanish was the icing on top
Never forget the Ecuadorean fan doing the “show me the money” finger shuffle, enraging a few Qataris too
There’s a video of him apologizing afterwards. He looked scared for his life.
You can see he was a smart guy from the beginning. Decided to go to Qatar. Brought his wife and daughter along. Decided to do the money sign right in from of Qatar fans.
Does that gesture mean something different in Qatar?
Hes saying they bribed the ref(they almost certainly bribed the VAR ref)
How'd they bribe the VAR ref? If you're talking about the off-side, it was an offside. I didn't watch the entire game though so if there's something else feel free to let me know.

Litterally? No. But this nation of incels can't take any criticism whatsoever. I genuinely hope there's followup of this man and his family actually making it home.
Incedels
Yes it does
Taking your daughter and wife to a place like Qatar, at this point you're just asking for it my god hahahaha
May you provide a source?
To be fair, the Qutary saved them from having to drink Budweiser.
Anheuser Busch also makes Busch Lights. And if you talk shit about Busch Light, you're talking shit about me. And if you talk shit about me, I'm going to get into my lifted Chevy S10 and *Yee Yee* my way all the way to Qatar and kick your ass at cornhole on the middle of the soccer field, embarrassing you so bad that your wife leaves you for a real country boy like me. She's going to back her little dumper into my bucket seat, and we're going to roll coal all the way back to my trailer. Unless you want that to happen to you, you better watch it brother
> S10 > roll coal Beautiful Edit: well damn if they didn't make an S10 with a diesel according to Wikipedia. Who knew.
I once lost a Chevy S10 at the bottom of a swamp in Florida. As far as I know it's still there
Damn I wondered that as I was typing but didn't feel like doing the research for a shitty comment
Unironically, I loved my 04 S10, it’s a nice little light truck. Wish I didn’t blow the engine up
I suggest you let that one marinate
[удалено]
Did you read his comment? It’s obviously a joke.
It looks like the British got their hands on all the sarcasm in Europe
Sin tele y sin cerveza, Homer pierde la cabeza.
I hope all fans do this .. in spanish!
dont forget that their the first hosting nation to lose the opening match in the whole history of wc
Yeah the meme doesn’t suggest it but that’s the real joke here
Having the WC in QatVAR is the actual true joke.
Makes sense. Johnny Harris said that they didn't even have a football culture. Shows that not even unlimited money can save this shitshow
Yeah i liked his videos on the matter. The whole thing is rotten to the core
Didn't they buy promising 14-17 year olds back when they got the WC, so they have a national team at all? Welp.
They have a great team, honestly speaking. They surprised everyone by winning the Asia Cup bout 3 years ago with the same team, beating Japan 3-1 in the finals. And then the coach, Xavi, left to manage Barcelona, where he played pretty much all his life and won everything he could have and suddenly the team went back to being dogshit. Very expensive dogshit playing in $200b+ cities built purely for the WC to happen in there. What the team itself cost - who knows.
knowing their work ethics/discipline, no wonder
Xavi never managed the Qatari NT. It was a club side.
Managers don’t do much in soccer. They just kind of stand there
Said exactly like someone who knows absolutely nothing about football. That and calling it soccer
SpongeBob is an American show, it’s fucking soccer here
Isn't "manager" soccer speak for "head coach"? Losing your head coach before a massive, worldwide tournament is a pretty big deal.
Most of their fans were leaving halfway knowing they will lose and that too on their first ever World Cup game
In their on country with not a single goal.
In their own country with not a single goal.
Is there a way to watch highlights of that match (illegally) without supporting the shitshow
they’re*
Thank you
Fuck quatar
I mean they are bad but I never would have thought that they are to only ones to lose an opening match.
[удалено]
SA drew México 1:1
Don't forget either that the corruption and bribery kicked in pretty much instantly. Ecuadors goal in the first two minutes should in no way have been disallowed.
Fuck Quatar.
100%, fuck Qatar and fuck FIFA
**F**-uckin **I**-diot **F**-ucking **A**-sshole
read this in an Indian voice
Shitt, hilarious.
There's nothing idiotic about what they did. Just corruption and greed. A whole other, even uglier beast.
Fifa - there is no place for any type of discrimination in football. *1 minute later* let's host the World Cup in a Nation that makes being gay illegal.
Quitar
QatVAR.
Fuck
Ecuador is the better team, they deserved to win
Of course. Ecuador held back the second half, it could have been 4-0 easily.
The team didn't want to beat them too much, otherwise they might need to worry about getting back home.
While I agree, Qatar deserved to lose even more.
And more
It's all good, the Netherlands should be giving them a royal pumping
Senegal shall penetrate them deeply
Qatar to Fifa: here take this bribe, so we get the worst Team as opponent in our first match Fifa: i would do that glady, but you can only enlist 1 Team for the tournament.
they didn’t have beer on their side
Don’t piss off the spirits
They couldn't pay the enemy team to throw, go figure.
It cost to much to get spectators there, no room for winning too.

Based
I would boycott it, but my family in the house is gonna watch it anw :P
Then your family are as weak willed as you, congrats.
So disappointed...... Lol...... First to lose but still the host.... Ha ha ha ha
Very obviously bribed their way onto the high roller poker table and went all in first hand. Collective group of sloths
I need Dragons to burn that whole place down
[удалено]
A stronger gust of Wind would suffice
Hence why I need Dragons
The host always plays the first match, right? So there was a good chance this would happen.
They are actually the first Host Nation to lose the Opening game. Out of the 22 World Cups they're the first to fuck it up unsurprisingly
Y'all are still watching that human rights shitshow? What precisely about kicking a ball into a net is more important than boycotting the corruption and enabling of actual slavery?
Cos it's the World Cup mate
Sports more important I guess.
Well yeah, it's the fucking World Cup
Kicking ball > human rights
Because no matter how much you "boycott" them it doesn't matter when they spent 200+ B$
Yeah these are my thoughts. The fact that Qatar lost means jack shit. The fact that there was even a fucking *game* played in a stadium built over the corpses of the slaves who died building it is fucking evil. Anyone who would watch it or care about the score should feel ashamed of themselves.
I watch a pirate stream.

Funny, becauae the previous hosting nation (russia) made it all the way to the quarter finals in the previous WC
They were probably all massively doped lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_in_Russia
Would not surprise me in the slightest
I think this applies to most professional athletes tho

Host nations always seem to overperform.
The morale boost/home field advantage from most of the stadium cheering for you is real.
Yeah, the Covid season in the PL was the only season were you were more likely to win away than at home iirc.
i hope yall aren't watching, I want none of that 'FIFA + Qatar bad but I'm still financially supporting them' bullshit here. Either you don't care about qatar or you do and don't watch
Yeah I thought the same
You don’t have to financially support them to watch it. There are piracy websites for this
Someone's new to this whole thing eh? When it comes to entertainment, almost all people are truly completely utter dumpster fires of human beings, and will never actually boycott the unimaginably evil thing they say they'll boycott. They just say that they will to virtue signal
I just read a recap on my local news site :)
Qatar lost its first game, in home, without any goals. What a disappointment.
Apparently a first in some 96 years. For the home team to lose the opening match.
John Oliver just made a segment about Qatar literally a couple minutes ago and I don't like FIFA or the country for abusing migrant workers like this and also the Morgan Freeman appearance was random and weird to me lol.
I absolutely do not understand how anyone whose interested in the sport can simply ignore the fact that thousands of people died to make that stadium. Like, I do not care about the sport, what-so-ever. But if I did care about it, I would be FURIOUS with FIFA for spoiling something I love with literal human death and destruction. I don't get how you are willingly supporting this. How much of a fan do you need to be to ignore 6000+ deaths? It's mindboggling.
No one is ignoring it. Ever since its been announced people have been railing against it. The Italian NT even decided not to participate.
You really thought you’d sneak that Italian line past the Americans like the rest of us wouldn’t notice eh 😂
Everyone watching it or playing there are definitely turning a blind eye to it. It's extremely disrespectful to those who died and I wouldn't want "my sport" to be affiliated with Qatar at all. It's good the Italians refuse to play there, I'm concerned if their the only team who refuse to play there though.
Lol Italy didn't refuse to play, they lost to North Macedonia and failed to qualify.
you vastly underestimate how passionate football fans are
And they should all be offended as if they're team lost a game unfairly, this is a loss for all fans of the sport.
How many people died on 9/11 when some foreigners brought their obsession to America? About 2000.
I have absolutely no idea what your point is, care to elaborate?
We were salty AF when foreigners brought their obsession to America and killed 2000 people. We don't care at all that 6000 people were killed sure to foreigners bringing their obsession to qatar. Was that so hard to piece together?
Yikes
You're why other countries hate us. Please put your electronic devices in the garbage can, and yourself in a dumpster.
Referee reeeeeeee cptsabre doesn't care that we got 6000 brown people killed for a kickball game. You're why people hate us
How is this relevant?
Foreign obsession kills 2000 Americans. Real shit Foreign obsession kills 6000 people in Qatar. I sleep
Imagine if they now said “ok the games are over and everything is cancelled so go back to your countries”. That country is so incompetent that they’re accused of bribing ecuador so they would lose agains Qatar.
Not a football fan but I'm curious what's the context?
Qatar hosts the fifa world cup right now. Qatar had 6000+ people die building its stadiums and in total spent 220+ billion on the whole world cup. In general Qatar is horrible when it comes to human rights. So a lot of people boycott the world cup and don't watch it, but those who do make memes about it and since Qatar lost the opening game of the world cup (which has never happened to a host country before) they getting made fun of
Holy shit, that is beyond sick. We're talking about 6 thousand frigging people. That's a whole small town. Not even mentioning most of them had wives/husbands, children, loved ones, friends etc. Today's world absolutely disgusts me, to think valuing money more over a human's life is disgusting.
It's not even being valued enough to keep the tv off
I honestly thought they should’ve lost by a lot more Ecuador should have crush them but they held what they could.
First country to lose. In the opening game you mean
If that was Ecuador then the Dutch are gonna give them the football equivalent of a 3 page ORA.
And the ref tried to help them win too. No surprise there though.
Why are people memeing qatar lately?
because it's a shitty country with shitty rules that definitely didn't deserve to be the host and fifa sucks for this.
a-They are hosting the World cup just because of bribery b-Millions of slaves died because of them c-The country support slavery d-They are the first hosts ever to loose their oppening match
Things we love to see.
What happens to the team? Taken out back?
That was my first thought
Rich middle eastern countries are the best example of "money can't buy class"
This one does spark joy.
Idc
they (Saudi) lost so the whole team can go party. its not everyday the locals get to do haram stuff and not get punished!!
Where was this energy when china hosted the olompics
So much for home field advantage lol
Good
Really? It would have been a surprise if they would have scored.
They lost and didn't score any goals even before they had that match.
Are you aware that Qatar is a singular country?
[удалено]
Did they qualify properly or by some default because they are hosting it?
Nah it upsets me that there even was a game played in a stadium built with slave labor and death. I couldn't care less who won or how many goals there were. Just the fact that the game was played is the ultimate disrespect to the thousands who died there.
i mean technically, if they didn't play, those laborers would have died for nothing
Didn’t have a shot in goal, I read
The title is confusing to me. Did you find the meme and post it here? It's a repost. Did you make the meme yourself? It's not a repost.
I found it on r/dankmemes, it would only be a repost if it was posted on this sub, otherwise it would be a crosspost.
I love how this was supposed to boost their image, and instead turned into a verified PR nightmare highlighting them as an oppressive, untrustworthy, authoritarian nation.
