Qatar launches its World Cup in the face of criticism

Qatar 2022 smells burnt. We feel the burnt smell of Qatar 2022. The World Cup, which opens on Sunday, November 20, is expected to be the most rowdy ever. It is to be feared, however, that the 64-member program will be marked strongly by the outbursts and protests of activists determined make the small emirate (1,500 km2 and 2 million inhabitants) pay for its human right violations, its arrangements regarding sports ethics, and its sleight with ecological probity.

If such incidents happen and outweigh performance of the more 800 players expected in the eight stadiums, football will suffer twice. A chaotic “during” following a controversial “before”. This would be a shame for a sport that, despite its many flaws (racism and abuses of the football business, corruption, discrimination etc.), is still thriving.It makes hearts beat, brings people closer and allows many micro-States to shine (economically).

Corruption, human rights, ecology

In a letter addressed directly to the 32 qualified countries’ federations, Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, and Fatma Saamoura, Secretary General of FIFA, invite you to participate. “focus on football” During the World Cup. “We know that football does not live in a vacuum and we are also aware that there are many challenges and difficulties of a political nature around the world. But don’t let football get dragged into any ideological or political conflict.implore these two leaders.

All grievances against Qatar 2022 are not included in this category. “ideological or political battles”. They are more serious and tangible. According to The GuardianIt is a tragedy that so many people died on the World Cup construction sites. Although the International Labor Organization (ILO), disputes the figure, any death from appalling working conditions will be considered one too many.

It is alarming to see the suspicions of corruption that surround the attribution of the Mondial in 2010. These suspicions deserve to be clarified.

Nor can we ignore the 3.6 million tonnes of CO₂ (according to FIFA) that will have been emitted to, in particular, build air-conditioned stadiums and transport on board 168 flights the million supporters who go tour the five host cities during the tournament.

We welcome small steps in the right direction.

These difficult subjects should be approached with courage and clarity, even when competing. However, football must be given the respect it deserves in the hearts and minds of the billions of fans around the globe. To make sure that the World Cup runs smoothly, the discussions will be more focused on technique and tactics rather than flat militancy.

This balanced position is even more admirable because the host country has made some effort that deserves to be commended. Even if it is to improve the working conditions for migrant workers. In The TeamThe coach of England is on November 5 Gareth SouthgateAfter visiting Qatar three more times to meet workers on the controversial sites, he felt reassured. “They all told me that we had to play this World Cup, Because it has already promoted positive developments (for them)»Confided in the English technician.

For his part in, PointTamim ben Hamed Al Thani, Emir Qatar, had been involved in a veritable My culpa. He said: “We understood that we had a problem with the work on the construction sites, and we took strong measures in record time. We changed the law and we punish anyone who mistreats an employee; we have opened our doors to NGOs and we cooperate with them.”

Right to your dreams

Qatar will not become the country of human right in an instant. THE model in ecology. While the World Cup has allowed him to make a small step in this direction, the country is still a long way from the finish. Let’s keep raising our voices to encourage him not to slow down the football party.

Although it is unlikely that this wish will come true, it is possible to dream. Dream like France, who would like to keep its title as world champion. This performance was not possible before, with Brazil (1962) and Italy (1938). Researchers from the prestigious British University Oxford have predicted that the Blues will be defeated in the semi finals by the Red Devils from Belgium. The latter will, if necessary, exact revenge on their missteps at the 2018 World Cup.

The British researchers simulate the group stage matches one million times, and each probable knockout match 100,000 times.

Their results will thus destroy France’s dream, but consecrate Brazil’s dream, which it has chased for 20 years after the sixth star of the world champion. Oxford researchers predict that Neymar and Co. will win on December 18 after flying over their group (G), and removing Uruguay (8th), Spain (1/4) and Lionel Messi’s Argentina (1/2).

What about the five representatives from Africa (Cameroon Ghana Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal Senegal? They were eliminated by the British researchers in the first round. Worse, except for the Teranga Lions, which were ranked third ahead Qatar and behind Paraguay (2nd), and the Netherlands (1st), the algorithm returns them to last in their respective pools. To see an African team reach the quarter-finals at a World Cup, they will need to go back.

How much is enough for Africa not to participate in the tournament? No! Oxford researchers speak mathematics, but football is not an exact science. It is highly likely that their algorithm will be wrong for the next 29 day.

First test: Sunday, November 20, at 4 p.m. GMT with Qatar-Ecuador (Group B). The inaugural meeting at the World Cup of Controversies.
