The BBC ignored the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.


Instead of broadcasting the opening ceremony, the guests of the channel`s studio discussed the alleged political machinations and corruption that led to the award of the right to host the World Cup to Qatar, as well as the problems of migrant workers, human rights violations and the repression of LGBT people.


This World Cup was the most controversial in history even before the first kick of the ball.


Since FIFA chose Qatar in 2010, the smallest country to host football`s biggest competition has faced a number of serious questions, from allegations of corruption in the application process to the treatment of migrant workers who built stadiums where many died.


Homosexuality on our site is prohibited by law. [Issues of] women`s rights and freedom of expression are in the spotlight. In addition, six years ago it was decided to postpone the World Cup for the winter period.


Against this background, a tournament will be held that will be watched and enjoyed all over the world. Focus on football, says FIFA. Well, we`ll do that - at least for a couple of minutes, - said host Gary Lineker.

If they care so much about the workers and their families, why didn`t they agree to provide $400 million for a compensation fund at the request of Amnesty International? asked former national team captain Alan Shearer.


After half an hour of discussion, the guests switched to discussing the opening match of the tournament analyzed by answers for football picks between the national teams of Qatar and Ecuador.
