I think the main issue with Qatar was that they don't have a football team that actually has the required level to play at a world cup.

They only had the money, which is why the tournament was hosted there, but in the games that Qatar played it was so clear that they don't have enough skill. They lowered the quality of the tournament.

But overall, yeah, it was a great tournament.
That's quite strange indeed because Qatar was chosen as the host of the 2022 World Cup not suddenly there was quite a long time from when it was chosen to the time it was held, and that was about 12 years, and in a decade they were not able to prepare a national team that could compete very well with other teams in the group phase, it even seems that their target is just how to score goals in every match and it turns out that that doesn't always happen. So it's enough to prove that they only focus on the fame that will be obtained if they host the world cup and also the money that will be obtained even though they are already a wealthy country without having to organize this big event not to develop football in their country even better, but in Asia, before the WC 2022 held The Qatar national team had obtained good results by winning the Asian Cup by defeating one of the other strong Asian teams, namely Japan, but at the World Cup Japan appeared more impressive as well as several other Asian teams such as South Korea and Iran.

So if there is a country that is not very good at football development and intends to host the World Cup, it should not only focus on infrastructure development but also its national team so that at the time of holding it is not just a weak team who can even get embarrassing results in matches.
