VIDEO: How Qatar Bought the World Cup
Added 2022-11-16 13:42:24 +0000 UTCHello again, Newsroom.
It’s a busy time on the channel. We have tons of videos in the works but even still, I really wanted to make room for a deep dive investigation into FIFA and the World Cup. For the last several months we’ve been piecing together two stories that take an in-depth look at FIFA and Qatar.
In this first installment, we piece together the complex web of influence and corruption that led to Qatar, a tiny nation with unfathomable wealth, winning the bid for the world cup. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t by playing by the rules).
I hope this video helps shine further light on how power and influence works, not only in football but in all things in our world.

2022-11-26 14:56:21 +0000 UTCI have been in the US now for 9 months and I feel like I can put up with the fahrenheit, miles, ounces, fluid ounces (wtf is that, btw) but football cannot be soccer! And I am so glad that you used the right term in the video, for the beautiful game! Peace✌🏻

2022-11-17 18:01:27 +0000 UTCIt is unfortunate that Qatar used underhand means to get the vote for the 2022 World Cup. But such is not rare. It is said South Africa also used such means to get the 2010 World Cup...

2022-11-17 04:35:13 +0000 UTCActually, I came here to say this, even in the case of betterhelp.com sponsorship I wondered how he accepted it since it reminds me of tens of videos describing how bad it is and it's a scam service for most of the clients

2022-11-16 20:54:20 +0000 UTCReally poor choice of advertising partner - I'd have expected you to do your research. https://andywightman.scot/archives/4816

2022-11-16 19:39:41 +0000 UTCAwesome work. Qatar is a topic I've been so pissed about and really deserves all the attention right now. Also really digged the bridges between the open AE and actual Motion Graphics!

2022-11-16 17:19:19 +0000 UTCI think this video waffled a lot in the first half, but the conclusion was really powerful. I've never been much into sport, but a friend who I travel with has gotten me into soccer (which is what we call the game in Australia). She brought me to a packed lesbian pub in London for the Euros this year, and the energy when England won that round is something I'll never forget—my ears are still ringing! She's brought me to similar experiences with Russians and French in Colorado, USA, Swedes and Dutch in Switzerland, and sent me to the right place to be in Buenos Aires. She'll be visiting me in Australia for the World Cup in 2023, and I look forward to it.

2022-11-16 15:08:59 +0000 UTCVery impressed with your in-depth research in today's episode, and looking forward to part 02 as the World Cup opening day approaches. Btw, I just noticed your videos have auto-generated translations. Spanish subs are good, so I will be sharing your channel with my colleagues. Thank you!

2022-11-16 14:58:53 +0000 UTCGreat video and Wow..! I perfectly predicted the title last week when I made my own thumbnail for this. I still think it's a better one than the one in the video. https://imgur.com/a/MkiqGwf
