Arsène Wenger FIFA World Cup 2022 official took a shot that teams who tried to make political statements in Qatar.
Arsène Wenger said teams who had a good opening game were mentally ready to focus on the competition and not on political demonstration.
Germany and Denmark both teams were performed in their first games. Germans lost to Japan 2-1 and the Danes drew 0-0 with Tunisia.
Wenger overlooked the part FIFA played in the dispute by avoiding the issue before teams arrived in Qatar World Cup 2022. Then, seemingly under pressure from Qatari authorities.
Hours before England and the Netherlands match FIFA forced a climbdown from the European federations by threatening to ensure Netherlands counterpart Virgil van Dijk and England captain Harry Kane would be shown a yellow card.
Wenger is a long-time commentator for Qatari broadcaster beIN Sports said the FIFA World Cup 2022 games had been popular around the world despite all the negative publicity we got before.
Wenger said the teams who were not disappointing in their first game performance because when you got to the World Cup you know you have not to lose the first game - are the teams with experience, they have results, they played well in first game.
He also added the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has seen an unusual amount of political discussion from teams, with some voicing concerns about the host's treatment of migrant labour, its approach to LGBT rights and FIFA's threats to penalise players for political statements.
