I think we can already see the pressure of World Cup approaching on internal clubs but also on national teams are tonight we have Nations League and big teams like England or Germany are really having a slow pace game in order to avoid injuries or anything similar. Also , with this Nations League games , South American teams are having an advantage because players are extra rested than some others.

This nations league is apsolute stupid stuff and just a waste of player strengths. Europeans best teams are really bad lately and i dont think they will reach their top levels once the world cup begins. Most disappointing are Germany and England. France played really good so we can see them going far but others i dont think they can do much

What happens is that it can be passed off as one of the ways to know the different strengths of many teams, yes, it is very likely that many players will get injured, but it is the only way that coaches have to realize who they are with and with who doesn't, this is something that can happen at any time, there are cases that players who go to the tournament and get injured in full training, with their own team friends, so this is something that can happen, of course there are some directors technicians who do not expose their top stars much, because they are the ones who can give their teams victory, but that is already their decision.

As long as we do not become self sufficient at everything as a nation, we will be depending others, and occasionally they others we talk about will be people who have human rights violations. Just last year during Saudi Arabia grand prix of formula 1, there were bombs going off very near the race track, you could literally see the bomb cloud in cars pictures during practice session, but they kept going. Because they want the money, and same goes here.

Qatar has LNG and everyone will be silent about whatever they do, because they need LNG, they can kill anyone they want, and west will not do anything about it. Hell owners of Newcastle literally murdered and chopped a journalist against them, and they still managed to buy Newcastle with no problem.

Agreed 100%. The world has become more money minded now, and there is no space for any sort of morals and ethics. And this is applicable to sports as well. My question is where do we draw the line? If tomorrow Saudi Arabia uses nuclear weapon on Yemen, still they will enjoy the same relationship with FIFA and IOC? Qatar is in a very advantageous position right now, as the EU badly needs their LNG. Saudi Arabia is one of the top oil producers. There is a sense of impunity and it is getting worse with every passing year.

Well, we all know that the current situation in the world is very diverse, only those that can offer certain services are the ones that can provide well-being and be free from wars and prohibitions, although this World Cup in Qatar is going to be very full of many fundamentals, there are nations that still have problems, nothing more than the problem that exists in Europe with Gas, with everything that they have in RUSSIA from the problem with oil, the different prohibitions that exist, that all these political problems have reached the world, more have been announced things with probable drums to war, all this has somehow affected.

This has been always about money and money has always decided everything, but only if it is someone's "good" money, or to put it even more simply, if in Washington someone approves or at least does not disapprove your moves, then you can do whatever you want. Double standards are a disgusting topic, but Qatar is just a student, nothing more. he didn't come up with these rules, but Qatar just learned how to use them competently.

Yes, everything is money, if it weren't for so much of the business model that will be generated, we wouldn't have so many problems in the world, in fact when we mention everything you have to live to generate money, the great nations just by making war They open many business centers, both for weapons, for all war material, for the permits that have to be given in NATO, everything represents money, and obviously FIFA are not holy angels, they also do their part, everything is managed as if they were puppets, for me everything is connected, and I think that when the World Cup starts it is the month that everything will be more neutralized.
