Interesting discussion.

Anywhere there is money and fame corruption is normalised.

You have to first of all define "fix".
Do they have a big meeting and tell the referees not to be fair and also manipulate the VAR.
You think that's possible?
And why did Quatar not get a single point??

It doesn't work like that. If you read comments in the quora, you would understand. Manipulating games don't mean they would be stupid with it. Check the history of the world cup, host or nearby nations have been playing seminal final since 1998 exception is South Africa 2010. Ghana could have played semi-final instead of Uruguay.

It is called home ground/home crowd advantage. Works like magic. No one knows why.
If Nigeria hosted world cup, very likely an African team would win the cup!

Qatar 2022 was fixed

It was very obvious given the unnecessary high amount of Penalty goals ARG scored.

No VAR checks on Penalty awarded to them.
Almost irritating to see the one against FRA given.

The Offside rule is completely tossed away for ARG third goal.

Yellow and Red cards that ought to be given. Were not and you wonder why.

FRA penalty calls were not even reviewed.

I can 100 percent there was a FIFA and Qatar agenda to award the world cup to ARG

And that is very unfair to other teams.

My thought exactly.
