The Qatar World Cup will be the first winter World Cup, without barbecue beer, will there be less atmosphere? There were some more stories before the game.
Recently, Japanese media reported that the Japanese national team asked the Qatar World Cup Organizing Committee and the Football Association whether they could eat pork during the World Cup. Pork is rich in vitamin B1 and is believed to be able to quickly recover players' physical strength, but pork cannot enter the Middle East country of Qatar because of the national belief. That is why there was an inquiry about the above questions, but for the time being, there has been no response from the Qatari side. In fact, as early as the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar and the 2019 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates, Japanese players did not eat pork. This World Cup Japan and Germany, Spain two major championship favorites divided into the same group, out of the qualified is not difficult, I don't know if the Japanese national team can eat pork as desired!
Previously, Colombia decided not to qualify for the World Cup finals, with a direct loss of nearly $10 million, which could have been used to develop domestic football. Recently, there have been media reports that bar owners in Colombia complained that the epidemic had caused the business in the store to deteriorate, and it was expected that the flow of people during the Qatar World Cup would increase and business could improve. But now the Colombian national team is missing the World Cup, and in-store sales will be about 60% lower than the same period in previous World Cups.
Recently, south Korean media published that the World Cup between Japan and South Korea has been held for 20 years and will bid for the World Cup again in the future. Considering the expansion of the World Cup to the round of 48 in the future, it is hoped that China, Japan and South Korea will jointly host it. However, from the Chinese side, this is not a good idea. Considering the way the South Korean national football team reached the final four that year, the wind evaluation of the Korean sports world in the world is not good. In addition, given the current strength of the Chinese men's football team, perhaps the Football Association does not want to bid for the World Cup. Even if the Chinese side has the idea of bidding, so many cities in China are estimated to be not enough points, let alone a part of the competition site with the joint bid of Japan and South Korea. Combined with the above reasons, the idea of Korean media is unlikely to be realized.
After the Qatar World Cup draw, the odds for each country to win the World Cup follow, from low to high, Brazil, England, France, Spain, Argentina, Germany, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands. Apart from winning a World Cup in antiquity, England didn't do very well at other times. Does such a low odds mean that if you are optimistic about England winning the championship, you will lose 1 if you invest 1 piece?
In addition, the Golden Boot odds are led by Ronaldo, followed by Kane, Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Benzema and others. Paris Saint-Germain's frontcourt trident under the Qatari consortium is all on the list, and who can win the World Cup Golden Boot award in the end let us wait and see!
Argentine star Di Maria has announced that she will retire from the national team after the World Cup in Qatar. The schedule shows that argentina and Venezuela's World Cup qualifiers are Di Maria's last national team match in China.
According to British and French media reports, former UEFA president Platini was arrested on suspicion of corruption in Qatar's bid to host the World Cup. In addition, qatar is tight on the housing side, and it is not known whether it will be able to receive the food and accommodation needs of nearly 1.2 million fans.
The Qatar game has not yet started, there are already so many things off the field, I don't know what kind of story will happen after the game is officially played. Let's look forward to the World Cup in winter, hoping it will be a feast for football!
