The World Cup in Qatar

70% of Germans do not want to watch World Cup games live on TV. Many people are not in the mood for the tournament or want a boycott. The German international team has been in favourites in international tournaments for a while.

The World Cup is controversial. Marlene Fries will watch the games because it's all about the sport. Evelyn Maß, captain of a Tier 4 German women's football team, does not experience the usual World-Cup-feeling for this year's tournament. Emelie Bernhardt, Frauen Bundesliga payer for Werder Bremen, doesn't plan to watch any games. Angelo Carillo is boycotting Qatar, but he considers the World cup the most important football event.

Bernhardt thinks awarding the tournament to Qatar is destroying football. Maß thinks it is almost impossible to boycott the games. Bernhardt feels sorry for the players who have spent years preparing for a World Cup and now find themselves in political debates.

The World Cup is taking place in Qatar. Brazil are the favourites. Angelo Carillo predicts a final between Brazil and France. The expectations for the German team are not too high. Most people think they can make it to the quarter-final or semi-finals. Maß's expectation from the team is that they come together as a united team. Berhardt believes they have a chance of reaching the semi finals.

As a sports journalist, he is not sure if he should cover the World Cup. He thinks Germany won't win the title, but they will make it to the quarterfinals. Argentina will probably win it. Lionel Messi is one of the greatest footballers of all time. His last chance to win a World cup is with Argentina.
