At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina were set to face Brazil in the semi-final. They just needed to beat the Netherlands. FIFA informed the Netherlands that they'd be permitted some drama, but they had to lose by whatever means to Argentina. Argentina led 2-0, pretended to lose concentration and it went to 2-2. But Argentina had been arranged to win anyway.
FIFA quietly informed Brazil that they had to lose to Croatia. That is how Argentina ended up playing Croatia instead. In that game, FIFA instructed Croatia to fold completely. They duly collapsed 3-0.
For the final, FIFA informed France they had to lose by at least two goals. It was becoming too obvious though, so FIFA told the referee to manufacture two penalties for France to make it look competitive.
Kylian Mbappรฉ's hat-trick was authorised. Kolo Muani's one-on-one miss in the final minute of extra time was not an accident. Why do you think France didn't ban him from playing football after that miss? He was wearing a secret earpiece. FIFA called him directly and told him not to score, because a 4-3 France win would have blown the whole operation.
During the penalty shootout, France were permitted to score exactly one of their first three. FIFA did not want Argentina needing a fifth penalty; too much drama, too much risk of someone going off-script.
Africa also had its share of the arrangement. FIFA contacted Portugal and informed them they had to lose to Morocco to guarantee African representation in the semi-finals. Why do you think Cristiano Ronaldo was weeping? He could not believe his own teammates had agreed to the terms.
The evidence is everywhere. You just have to be willing to see it.
This is why Kenya needs to qualify for the world cup. Imagine a club like Fc Lepards ama Gor Mahia getting that money from fifa. Would be massive for their growth
