There has always been home or advantage on every country hosting a cup finals just because they want them to go far abit in the tournament but they may not actually win the final stage because by them things could have been gone tougher than expected, i so much believe that that's just the only way to encourage and compensate the hosts as it may not sound well getting knocked out at the early stage, it's a on rare case seing the host country getting to final or winning the cup.

Qatar are in a group with opponents like Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal, to be honest those three teams are very strong in my view. Even though Qatar is the home team but still, if Qatar always loses points then Qatar will not qualify for the next round. Unless Qatar can at least get points in every match even though it is a draw then there is a possibility that Qatar will qualify, but if I consider the opponents in the group, Qatar will only be a point barn for the three opponents, especially regarding the Netherlands.

I know that a lot of people really don't like watching smaller or weaker teams playing in the world cup just because they are hosting the tournament. But I personally don't have any problems with that because it at least gives them a chance to show their talent on the big stages. And this is the biggest stage of all.

So it is always great for a team that is not doing well at the moment to show some great skills and get noticed by the whole world. If that was not the case two things could have happened-

The country which is hosting the world cup probably would have been out of the world cup before even actually playing in the world cup.
Smaller teams or weaker games would never be able to host any world cup.
