Three days before the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, major reports and rumors alleging the host country of Qatar bribing its opponent are making the rounds. The build-up to soccer’s biggest event being hosted in a country with a deplorable human rights record has been less than stellar.

This year’s World Cup is the definition of sports washing and these recent rumors of match-fixing only add a layer to FIFA’s corrupt event.

According to Amjad Taha, the regional director of the British Middle East Center for Studies and Research with over 430,000 followers on Twitter, Qatar has bribed opposing players. According to Taha and other insiders, Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opening game of the tournament.

Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener(1-0 ⚽️ 2nd half). Five Qatari and #Ecadour insiders confirmed this.We hope it's false. We hope sharing this will affect the outcome.The world should oppose FIFA corruption.@MailSport #WorldCup2022

Phrasing is important here as Taha writes ‘Qatar bribed’ as opposed to ‘Qatar attempted to bribe’ the Ecuadorians. Taha also claims that the bribe involves Qatar winning the match 1-0 with the lone goal coming in the second half.

At the time of this writing, no other journalist or media member has confirmed Taha’s exclusive report.

Front Office Sports, however, has reported FIFA is aware and concerned about match-fixing as it expects over $100 billion in bets to come in throughout the tournament.

Crazy if this is true

Do we still unload on a 1-0 Qatar win over Ecuador?

Do you trust Amjad Taha? I don't. He can be a plant by the books.

But if you trust him a safer bet in 1H draw or 1H under 0.5.

Why are Qatar so high priced at 2/1 odds to beat a Ecuador team that usually do good at home usually.

[lakerboy]

+715 for Qatar to win 1-0

100%. Why not throw down on it

I’m having Puppy Bowl flashbacks.

[k13]

He's not legit.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Nothing but trying to make Qatar look bad because they don't bow down to queers like the US and Europe. Remember all the reports about chaos inside Russia prior to the Sochi Olympics and yet they went off without a hitch? Same thing here. Gun to head, I'd take Ecuador because they might be underbet.

Also, sadly, we won’t be seeing Shakira shaking her ass on stage.

[slayer14]

All the big name entertainers don't want to be associated with this world cup

[wombat]

Why is the world cup being played in this shithole

Just bet on Qatar

[slayer14]

You would think if Qatar got knocked out first round it would make things look worse promo wise

Exactly…Netherlands and Qatar will be one and two…Senegal and Ecuador out of that group stage

[fried cheese]

[Darkside Magick]

​Ecuador -1.25 +394 vs Qatar

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Oh fawk. The man has spoken.

If it hits, the books will not pay and likely freeze the funds placed on the suspicious wagers.
Books will freeroll the punters

Cameroon fixed croatia in world cup. I mean small fry got paid, dunno big bets.
https://www.theguardian.com/football...world-cup-2014

this one is interesting because its more for pride of the country, rather than making money.

Cameroon diff story

[cashin81]

Wilson Raj Perumal, a convicted match-fixer, reportedly told a Der Spiegel journalist during a Facebook conversation that the game would finish 4-0 to Croatia and that the African side would have a player sent-off – both of which were correct.

FanDuel trying to get bettors to jump on the alleged bribe result lol

[cincinnatikid513]

wouldn't trust anything op says, he is a worthless pos


























Marc Owen Jones





@marcowenjones





















Just a heads up if anyone sees a story about Qatar bribing Ecuador 7.4 million to lose the opening game - it started here from a well-known disinformation account who is somehow also the main source in the story @amjadt25
. It's already got thousands of RTs though

[cincinnatikid513]

Although Marc Owen Jones later refuted Taha’s report. Jones teaches as an adjunct at Qatar’s Haman Bin Khalifa University. He asserts that Taha is an unreliable source who knowingly disseminates false information.

Up till now, no one has verified Taha’s allegations. However, Front Office Sports claims that FIFA is becoming more concerned about match-fixing and anticipates over $100 billion in wagers (bets) on the competition.

Has the referee been named for the game?

Despite promises to allow beer sales, Qatari officials have suddenly decided that no beer will allowed at the 2022 World Cup.

[milwaukee mike]

100%. Why not throw down on it

situations like this probably just give books a chance to free roll you though? i would never bet on a match with any sniff of a fix, even one like this that doesn't seem true

if its fixed... you will be free rolling them.

if it loses, thats the chance you took. nothing to do with book.
