FIFA played their hands by giving the 2022 WC to Qatar while the US also bid to host the same tournament. You don't mess up with Uncle Sam.
so?
It's Asia time to host, after Europe, Africa, and America continent has their time. But going to Qatar, they wasn't ready. They need build their stadium first. That's why the worker slavery issue came from. Also no need to change the calendar to December. Better going to country with established football grounds like China or Saudi.
@@drivetrojan9612 the worker slavery has been happening for decades now nothing new
@@drivetrojan9612 in all islamitische countries you can find real slaves
@@gokusan1015 additional it's in China and Russia
Ironically all were given hosts
FIFA needs to be dissolved, as a governing body they do fuck all. UEFA isn't much better.
they need an outside government body to constantly check on them
super league
@@gold9994 a European super league would kill the sport in Europe, most people are fans of smaller teams.
UEFA is even worse.
I think we all the hosting is corrupt, the UK keeps getting rejected whilst being the only country in the world which wouldnt have to build any new stadiums and is clearly the most convenient country to host
I would like a UK World Cup with stadiums that will host Wembley, the Millennium in Wales, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, the Etihad, London stadium, Bramall Lane ect
No one can walk around a park like this guy.
Again come the that guy that likes to walk in the park while exposing some crime.. What shall we call him... Hmmm.... Parkbuster?
It's a historical site. Old Spanish fort
Thats Philippine journalism for you, I remember in my sophomore year we’d do the same thing.
Rizal Park is the most used place for journalists(atleast in early 2000)
😆🤣😂
ahahhahahahaha
The beautiful locations and amazing videography shots actually distract from the stories!
Great job guys I’m from Europe this should be on the main vice channel.
I got this by a lot of scrolling.
More people need to see this
0:51 everyone’s face expressions in that room says it all
Boycott this World Cup! It's a shame how it was awarded and built.
bruh no one gonna boy cott a wc u high we waited for 4 years for this thing
Stupid comment
did you boycott the 2018 world cup?
Probably you dont have a country to root for. Lol!!
Qatar was selected to host world cup in 2010 so it's obvious Sepp Blatter took good chunk of oil money to grant the WC hosting rights. Qatar has population of only 2.881 million only as in 2020
that population is including foreign workers and expats. local qatari citizens are only 300000
City/PSG same people buying football away from the people that built it, Europeans getting robbed
This would be news if Jon Oliver hadn't been telling us the same things for years.
+ 1
Or idk a buncha different footbal fans
You simps and your Jon Oliver lmao
John Oliver is just reading new reports to photos of fury pron.
FIFA are supposed to be a non profit organisation. Clearly they are not and that's a lie. I first knew FIFA was a corrupt organisation in the 2002 World Cup. The same Chinese ref who officiated the games between Spain v South Korea and Italy v South Korea. Anyone who watched those matches will know what I mean.
Can y’all do a series on Liga Mx ? And the pacto de caballeros ⚽️
All this money and we still get corrupt referees that botch the games...
I absolutely love the world cup but i wouldnt be sad if teams decided to boycott it and stand up for the human rights violations and fraud that this world cup was built on,i would actually feel proud if this world cup was cancelled because a few big nations backed out and others followed,all we need is a few brave nations to lead the way and others will follow,this world cup is a disgrace to football and what it should stand for and everyone including the players know it.
@@hulu8022 Ye true its sad.
@@masv2409 you know, like, there's a whole lot in life than being just a broken record 🙂
there is a lot more nuance to it than that. you have to keep the players in mind. for a lot of football players it is the highest stage and greatest honor to represent your country in the WC. and since they are only every 4 years and you arent guaranteed to make it in. some people never get to play a wc nothing is guaranteed. for some like messi this is their last opportunity. seems like a lot to ask of these athletes to sacrifice their dreams to fix some corrupt shit out of their hands.
@@jake57 Yeah, we have to worry about millionares rather than poor immigrant workers, you're right
What about the teams and the players that chose to partake in this corrupt establishment without saying a word..whats up with that?
Oh, what a shock.
The tragedy is that the Middle East is buying football and we are hopeless to stop it.
200 Billion to stage? Wow! Overkill!
They basically had nothing when they "won" the hosting job so all of their fund has been used to essentially build the needed infrastructure from zero
Infrastructure that will be left abandoned once everything is done and over with
@@farhanatashiga3721 After the event the stadiums will be demolished
The participant countries should just boycot the tournament. Yes you loose out on playing the world cup but you maintain your dignity and you can't put a price on that.
Over 200 Nations have their own association,a new board should be picked randomly out of a Cup every 4 Years
Now they reported that there's not enough hotels in QATAR and some will be living in tents LMAO
Qatar World Cup is the biggest FIFA's mistake
russia world cup 2018 was FIFA's biggest mistake
What was with that weird random walk segment where it was far away. That’s so weird. What was that?
you could sense whats wrong in this world when millions of kids are dying without food and at same time , 6000 dollars apartment for a cat!!.
zero correlation
Did you do anything about it? If not, then shut the f uck up.
@@akolyt
200 billion dollars to host for a stupid game while millions are hungry.
@@pureinfinite1453 the fifa world cup wasn't made to feed hungry children
@@akolyt
Well I am guessing maybe hosting the world in established countries like the UK is a better idea than needing 200 billion USD to start from scratch. That 💰 can solve a lot humanities problems.
Why is this filmed in Portugal?
I’ve just watched the whole Netflix doc. It never says if any fifa executives actually served any time in jail. Which seems baffling to me. Whether they did or didn’t. Why wouldn’t it say, at the end of the film? And now I’m trying to google this, and can’t find a thing. Anybody know ? Also, is it a little curious that the US gets the 2026 cup, and then all these trials never lead to any actual prison sentences? I’ve never seen anyone bring that up before. How can hundreds of millions of dollars be missing, and nobody goes to jail?
We need a new footballing governing body.
Jesus they have the World Cup in Qatar that tells you how much bravery money must’ve gone in To choose that place
I love football (or for Americans, soccer). Still, I wouldn’t watch or even pay too much attention to this year's world cup, because the 2022 world cup is the highest level of the bribes & corruption in FIFA, as well as the violation of the human rights & living that happens at the host nations makes me feel like, Nah I would skip this one.
I don’t think you had to say the first part about soccer, kind of dumb to add it in when the video is discussing it lol.
did you watch the full video, the corruption didnt start and end only with this years world cup, all of the older and new world cup bids were corrupt too, so dont be a hypocrite and dont want the next one in your country
Lol you say this and then you probably watched the 2018 world cup in russia. Hypocrite 🤡
Clearly you didn't see the Korean world cup🤣
lots of world cups have been mired in controversy unsimilar to this. i dont like it but ill still be watching.
'Slush fund' at its best
why the constant slow motion walking lol
I would prefer more visual transitions than the host walking about.
FIFA has put south africa more in debt. Took the money and ran.
Why is there so much footage of this guy slo mo walking?
So in conclusion water is wet
AND ITS ALL DONE LEGALLY BY LAWYERS.
so soccer (fifa) is more corrupt than mlb, nfl, nba, nhl combined... or is it?...
Of course
cash stuffed envelopes lmaoooo this guy thinks his in a movie
Eso que le hicieron a BLATTER estaría Muy Bien que ahora se lo hagan a Infantino 4:06
Fifa needs to be reformed, they are full of corruption
Corruption and Trump Tower, no way.
Gerrit Holtmann as Vice correspondent?
Soooo some change?
World Cup could have started in mid-July. If it was hosted by a country that already had plenty of stadiums, but no they need all the oil money they can get.
😡👎 FIFA ⚽️ IS CORRUPT...BUT THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE IS FAR WORSE 😡👎
Rare Vice W
when did "0" become "o"
?????????????????????
Inspired by Saavadhan India maybe 😂
Proud to be Filipino! 🇵🇭
no money no party
Did fifa kick out England and the USA when they invaded iraq 🇮🇶 nope
Double standard and hypocrites
Where is this guy walking
Exactly! They should write the location in the description. They use lovely locations!
atom the walker😂✌
Corruption and Trump Tower, goes together like the devil and the abyss.
Broo it's Atom Araullo
First, 6 minutes is too short to exposed fifa corruption
Second, you got that little footage and graphic to display your host walking around in the park? You can do way better vice asia
if Qatar showed them the labour exploits but give them money the officials would still shut up and act like nth happened
The fittest journalist at Vice got that way because of the amount of walking done in each of his videos.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. What's with all the b-roll of this guy walking?
Again, these criticizes mainly motivated by hate towards that region and being able to accept that there is someone who can do better and different culture, that’s why we get uncomfortable and shout this kind of crap.
This reporter doesn't know why qatar spend so many money for this event.
The host country is still in the WC. Please get your facts straight
The fact that fifa isnt a eu corporation is just An F tbh . Its a European sport and culture
interesting
Vice should buy you a shirt that fits properly if you're going to be on video.
JAJAJAJAJA ‼️ omfGAWD 😜🤑🚀😈👽
Man you need a life
Woah, it’s just a shirt bud. Some people like them with that fit.
The wild thing is even with all this the world cup will continue in Qatar and everything will move on lmao
i wont criticize fifa . humans make mistakes and errors too so but own your mistake stand back and be a good leader next time. infact they shoul make fifa every 3 years so that it can boost economies in different parts of the content and it will help promote unity and peace
Super distracting when they just show clips of presenter just walking
Nice shirt... does it come in your size?
I had planned to go Qatar for World Cup but now I'm Boycotting!
😂😂😂😂
nice racket dont hate player hate the game
Its going to be a spectacular world cup
You’re not understanding I think
Spectacular failure and probably the least watched world Cup in history that is my prediction
@Swarti 100 percent

Wtf?!
AS USUAL !
Nah FIFA is absolutely corrupt with VAR! | seriously - look at how the French could win the world cup with VAR + a stupid referee!!
Could? You mean they did in 2018
@@useless3897 yes [ could for the future as well to say the least ] because we know FIFA will be on the side of Big team! _

This people are absolutely disgusting and yet one on says NoThIng
FIFA is its own mafia. Period.
What happened to the love of the game
Qatar should've been a host for World Cup, it's an embarrassment to football.
This Glazer shite is the reason manutd is so downgrading.
It's soccer.
Fifa is corrupted
No more football
It’s Qatar not qitaaaar like it’s not I RACK it’s e-rock and no it’s not I - Ran it’s e-run. Drives me nuts sorry. 😂
Get those animals. They are not professional. Not good for the world
Cantona was right!
Money talks and the Arabs know how to talk sadly.
Bullshit!!! ... The often repeated falsehood of the $200 billions cost of WC need to be put to rest. The $200B are capital projects (new airport, seaport, road improvements...etc) which were planed before winning the bid and would have been built even if we lost the bid 12 years ago.
your thoughts on the 6000 dead migrant workers?
And After all the lies you published under the pretext of freedom of the press, is The Guardian newspaper a reliable source to be relied upon for facts?
boycott qatar 2022
Stupid comment
Snitches get stitches…
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ‼️👽
Fifa 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
INFANTINO=BLATTER 2.0 🤡🐷💰
russia should be banned from all international sport
Boycott Qatar .... Boycott Fifa.......Qatar supports muslim jehadi.... dictator Xitler Chinese propaganda
No matter how many reports you show. Nothing will change. You Asians play better football, then you can have a say
Well a small change at a time could lead to a better future. This report got nothing to do with who play better football. I guess you support the corruption that they did.
I have no doubt this guy is excellent at doing research. However, I just can’t stand is fake accent. And why he has to do all the reporting; India, Political turmoil in Pakistan, FIFA, etc!!!
What’s wrong with this dude ? His Vice Videos seem toxic .
It's just too real!
Thanks you Gerrit Holtmann 💪🇵🇭⚽🥅
