This years World Cup has been very exciting so far. From Richalisons bycicle kick, to Morroco's incredible run, this world cup has easily been one of the most exciting world cups of all time. This is also the last world cup for many great players like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and Cristiano Ronaldo. At the time of me making this, Neymar Jr and Ronaldo have both been knocked out.
But, Qatar being chosen has been a huge controversy for many people. This is mostly because of Qatars rights. For the first time ever, alchohol isn't allowed inside the staduims during games and a lot of fans didn't like this rule. Qatar's goverment doesn't support LGBTQ and isn't allowed in the country, which has caused an uproar in fans from around the world. Also, when you host a country in the World Cup your team autamaticly qualifies for the World Cup. Qatar has never made it into a world cup, and fans think that the World Cup hosts should have some history with the Cup. This showed in the group stage of the cup because Qatar was knocked out, losing all three games versus Equador, Senegal and Netherlands. One of the largest controversies was the harsh conditons of the workers who built the staduims. Around 400-500 workers died building the staduims which is a very large number. This is because of the extreme heat and long days of working, and the Qatar governemnt doesn't have a rule on the number of hours you work.
