The Men Who Sold the World Cup (2021) User Reviews

Shocking.

This really was an eye opening watch, I think a few eyebrows were raised when Qatar was named as the host nation, a country with an atrocious record on human rights. I'd be somewhat hypocritical if I said I wasn't going to watch the world cup because of my irritation at the host nation's record, but some of what came out here was just sickening.

Football, is business, and it's big business, but the beast is out of control, money and corruption are naturally rife. Heaven knows what went down for this event to occur, FIFA aren't the only ones to blame, other organisations and individuals are equally at fault.

You genuinely will be bubbling by the end of this, sadly, I along with millions of others are outraged, but will still be glued.

Is the hope that such an event with educate and change the country? Good luck with that, I bought the Danish black top.

8/10.

interesting...

Revealing and strangulating for the culprits, and be aware that more will come, also from other international sports federations like the iaaf, isu,ibu, and other regional federations especially here in europe.

My guess is that no fifa excecutive are innocent, including the former president blatter.im not a football fan and good is that, because it spreads its all-inclusive tentacles from a local to a international level and steals money and time in the limelight at the cost of other sports, like the small city i live in here in norway, its just football, 4 hectars of fields and a large indoor arena for lets say 300 more or less active members, overpaid coaches, having a team at the 4th out of 7 levels of divisions here in norway and they never advance. They tried to breed some icehockey fewer here with an ice rink, but the ice was gone after a year, they couldnt pay the guy who preperated the ice,green plastic grass laid out in the rink for 10 years for football, and now its gone being replaced by a new stadium for football. We have a 12.5 mtrs swimming pool, thats emtied for water, and norwegians drowns like a shark falling asleep. No, football rules the money thats for sure, corrupted or not its just made for the laid out on a sofa viewer as an instrument to recover after a hard week of work, therefore its the sport of the workers...

as a documentary you get just a pinhole insight what fifa really are, and its of course a very negatively loaded in all its prescence, and the corruption crimes is the plum of the egg. Couldve been more informational. A recommend for soccerhaters around the world...
