Klopp in trouble again, the new criticism of FIFA and the World Cup that could cause him to be punished

Joseph Blatter, the former FIFA president who endorsed and promoted Qatar as the host country for the World Cup, confessed that it was a mistake to choose Qatar as host. "The choice of Qatar was a mistake and I assume my responsibility because I was the president of FIFA at the time," he said on Tuesday. In parallel, several football personalities spoke out, including Jürgen Klopp.

Klopp, the Liverpool manager, strongly criticised the World Cup organisers and the press, who he felt did not cover the issue sufficiently. "There have been many opportunities to denounce it since the World Cup concession. Two and three years to say, 'By the way, the process is not right'. But a lot of people have made money for the wrong reasons," he said.

In addition, the German emphasised the construction of the stadiums, in which more than 6,500 workers died. "It's difficult to build stadiums in Qatar because you have to do it in summer at 50 degrees. That's not good for a person, to be under the sun doing physical work. It's impossible, to be honest. But nobody has thought about those workers," Klopp alleged.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Sevilla's Argentinian manager Jorge Sampaoli also spoke out against Qatar hosting the World Cup. "Everyone has accepted and FIFA determined that it should be played in a place and on a date when it should not have been played. But it's all about money. It's all business. We accept the business and we all go along with it. This is the stupidest society in history," he told a press conference.

"Now no one can complain, this should have been resolved long before. Play a World Cup in an Arab country in November? Stop the competition and play? Now it's done," he added. Amnesty International was one of many organisations calling on FIFA and the World Cup sponsors to act immediately, specifically to protect Qatari migrant workers from abuse and end human rights violations.
