    I have lived in Qatar for 12 years and I think your video is a measured response to the World Cup, the build up and the last decade. Is Qatar perfect? No....but what country is? If you look at other host countries over the years, most have had their issues (Russia for example) but Qatar has faced theirs and continues to do so. For me, I think this has been an excellent achievement and I am delighted to see that you have picked up on the plus points (of which there are many) without shying away from the negatives (which are relatively few). Thanks brother.

    As a British person living in Qatar, I can honestly this is the best World Cup I’ve seen so far. Super organised and very clean and safe.
    Edit: Mike the reason why there are not a lot of people in the day is because it is still hot and most of the matches are organised during the evening. So there is more emphasis on night life. Most people go to the malls during the day or places where there is air conditioning. If you’re interested in visiting after the World Cup, hit me up and I’ll show you around properly

    In Qatar, government projects are awarded to big contractors - mostly managed by foreigners. They hire workers from overseas through agencies in south East Asian countries. The agency takes fees from the companies/contractors. As a result Contractors expect the workers to not work elsewhere once the workers arrive in Qatar.
    The government cannot control every single recruitment happening in the private sector - which is run by foreigners themselves.
    For decades, workers have been coming to Qatar from south east Asia willingly (nobody forces them on planes). The workers know that conditions in their countries (and in Europe) are worse than in Qatar.

      @@Macchan0830 Qatar was at fault for having laws that allowed the exploitation, just like Bangladesh is at fault for allowing its citizens to be exploited, but that doesn't absolve the foreign contractors from their fault.
      As far as the reporting and journalism goes there has been some extreme exaggeration. For example the 6500 dead workers figure doesn't actually refer to workers who died constructing the World cup stadium, but rather the total number of construction workers in the entire country over a 10 year period (even outside of work or due to other causes), which actually should have been reported on in a positive light rather than a negative one and here is why:
      - Qatar has a total population of 2.91 million, consisting of 0.34 million citizens and 2.57 million migrants
      - Migrants have an employment rate of at least 91.2% (lowest report i found) and about 44.2% of those work in construction, thus about 1.04 million migrant construction workers
      - Qatar has a mortality rate of 0.1% per year (for comparison the UK is at 1%, Switzerland at 0.8%, Germany at 1.2%), thus over a 10 year period you would roughly expect 1% of all migrant workers to die
      - The math works out to 10400 expected death without accounting for age
      - Adjusting for the fact that construction workers are slightly younger than Qatar's median age of 32.2 years old, we would expect somewhere around 8000-9000 deaths, thus 6500 total death is actually significantly less than expected, indicating that Qatar took the safety of its workers quite seriously

      Qatar** hmm interesting! I checked Quatar's pronunciation over google translate. Sense ur native ur won't likely misspell the word. I found it interesting that Quatar and Qatar are pronounced similarly. For us non-native speakers this is what we find most confusing about English. I studied Turkish, Spanish, and Italian all languages have cohesive spelling and speaking systems. Including my native, Arabic.
      But English, geez! you can write your name in 5 , 6, 3, 4 different ways.

    I’ve been to Qatar last winter, its so quiet I thought everyone had a secret gate or somethin until i visited souq wagef and plazas. People are not active urbanely but socially, yes. Also, they’re rich enough for all to spend their winter in london, not anymore after british campaign against them.
    Also, human rights is controversial, Osha which is Occupational Safety and Health Administration declares that more than 80% of world deaths is from construction world wide. It is a tough job. If you wouldn’t work in heat in the middle east you’d work 2 months in the year. better not involve football in all that.
