8 years later, This aged like fine wine with the Watar WC coming up
This is like storing your wine for 8 years just to realize it has oxidized
@@justpoppinthingsand you knew it was going to oxidize, but you stored it anyway, and your guests will still enjoy every drop when you serve it to them.
Quartar enjoys to fick Fifa up the bum
...
Infantino is sooo happy with his gay slave
@@howardbrandon11 cheers
The years have only made them corrupter 😂
It must be killing John Oliver saying 'soccer' this much.
Daniel Wagner I bet he washed his mouth with soap after the show, like 'bloody hell, that was unbearable.'
+Daniel Wagner You should keep in mind that the word was first use in UK, so it's their fault for this.
+Daniel Wagner that is nothing, this year during Electronic Arts' E3 presentation they interviewed Pelé and had him say soccer.
+Federico Porcel OMG wow leave it to EA to do that shit. Just let the man say Futball and make a joke out of it.
+Daan892 And even if it wasn't an originally British term....so what? Why on earth do some Brits feel so entitled to lecture other English-speaking countries over what words they should or shouldn't use, especially considering the USA is just a minor, barely registering player in the world of football/soccer. Americans have something else called football (so do a couple other countries for that matter), which is by far and away the nation's most popular sport. Let it go.
"52 degrees celsius"
literally not a peep from the audience
"122 degrees fahrenheit"
*uproar*
Ya you'll have that here in america dude 😂
It's not our fault we weren't taught metrics
@fjf sjdnx I understand, but as I already mentioned, we aren't taught metrics
I don't really see an issue with this. If you made a German announcement in Australia, people wouldn't react either. I speak metric, but most of my idiot countrymen don't
@@blacktimhoward4322 please elaborate?
What is even funnier is that 8 years later, Qatar banned sale of alcohol in the stadium and FIFA responded with ''Not drinking beer for 3 hours won't kill ya''
They basically pissed off both teetotalers and people who drink alcohol
FIFA: We didn't take bribes...
Everyone else on Earth: *Sureeeeee...*
@@cdvideodump Me to FIFA: I don't believe you!
it's amazing how they finally do the right thing and somehow THAT'S the thing everyone gets so pissed off about
@@tuckerbowen4626 If you actually saw the video, you'd see why. Brazil had a ban on alcohol being sold in stadiums for years before the 2014 World Cup. But, because Budweiser sponsored the World Cup, FIFA forced Brazil to remove that law.
Now, Qatar banned alcohol being sold in stadiums for the 2022 World Cup and suddenly FIFA isn't making them step back on that.
Every time an Englishman says soccer instead of football/footy someone in England dies.
+Anonymous Coward Considering the English themselves invented the term 'soccer', I hardly think that's true.
+MrConstantine02 But they call it football
+MrConstantine02 No, the term was Association Football
+Alex They invented both the term Association Football and "soccer" as its nickname. It's just fallen out of use in Britain. It's not like the US is the only country that says soccer.
mixmastermind It is the only country that says soccer.Everyone else says football
I love how John had to convert the temperature of Qatar from Celsius to Fahrenheit just so the audience could shockingly get to grips with just how hot Qatar really is.
Im from Qatar and yes it's hot but not THAT hot you wont get a heatstroke or anything like that and they're building a full AC indoor stadium.
The investigation already "kicked in" but still nothing happened. sweeeeet :)
+bastardbeargmail Don't hold your breath.
+Chris Sullivan Why do you love how he had to say that? He's presenting to a largely American audience and we use Fahrenheit here. Nothing strange about that.
+Kellen Hunter-La Voy I know, and you're right - the conversion isn't the slightest bit strange. In fact, it's quintessentially needed. I just have a comic affinity for delayed reactions; one example being when someone doesn't quite get the punchline of a joke, and you can see the gears working in their head trying to figure it out... then the penny FINALLY drops. It really hits me hard for some reason, sometimes more than the actual joke! :')
“I would like to show you my sausage.”
*Wild applause ensues*
Pathetic yea
Let's ask Snowden what he thinks of John's sausage.
Damn, did johnny become an aussie?
I wish people cheered for my sausage.

8 years later, days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar... You´re still right, Oliver.
Fun fact: United Passions is the lowest grossing movie in American box office history. It cost $29 million to produce, and earned a grand total of $918.
beleive me on this we in america don't give a single shit about soccer and you expect todo well in america hahahahahahah
Ghkjdf Hbjhffh That's not why it failed. xD
Soccer is actually one of the fastest growing sports in the US (in terms of popularity) among the youth. The reason nobody went to see it is because it is just... such a bad idea in so many ways
artsy_artist132 yeah like we don't give shit about it but still we won a lot of worlds cups
The US has won no World Cups
Spork yes it did women worlds cups cause you know soccer is for girls
See this is why I love John Oliver. In your traditional American talk show, such an issue will never, ever be brought up. But Last Week Tonight is just amazing. Yes, our health care system sucks, we're billions of dollars in debt, and neither the Democrats nor the Republicans inspire confidence in anybody, but we often forget about problems abroad, and why we should actually care about them. Thanks to this show, in addition to the many problems at home, we've learned about an Indian election, the gay debate in Uganda, a push for Scottish independence, right to be forgotten, a far right in Europe, a Hungarian internet tax, an inept Thai monarchy (and their efforts to curb speech against it), Doug Ford in Toronto, Tony Abbott in Australia, Francois Hollande in France, and yes, the dark side of FIFA. All done in a humorous manner that I find funny, and if you don't find it funny at least you'll know a little bit more about the world by watching this show. Keep it up, LWT.
Hun sorry to burst your bubble but America is trillions upon trillions of dollars in debt. If it was billions then lord this country might actually be able to fix some problems.
Dude ever hear about Colbert? These kind of issues are always brought up in comedy-news shows like these.
Colbert for sure, but if you watch Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, etc., their talk shows definitely lean more towards things that are going on here. Also, The Colbert Report doesn't run anymore.
What got me about Oliver was that he was bold in covering the Indian election. In just his first season, he ventured a lot into international politics, whereas Colbert took some time to do that. Guess Englishman are more aware of foreign politics than we are.
Definitely won't disagree with you about our lack of international news coverage.
Well hes English, thats why.
Fast forward into future.. They did a complete 180 on that "Non negotiable alcohol in stadiums " thing in Qatar world Cup....What a bunch of hypocrites..
Rewatching this just reminds me again how brilliant Oliver is.
Oliver and his writers ARE good at presenting information to the tune of their jokes.
And also FIFA sucks.
Same it was brilliant
The same problem is happening with the Olympics, with cities and countries voting AGAINST holding the games within their borders, for fear of the massive expenses they would have to take building things that will never be used again.
2004 Olympics in Athens...best example of the ill-effects.
Used to awesome artistic effect in the movie Akira.
notbobby125 Very true. With the World Cup in Brazil many people were upset that the government was spending these ungodly sums to build these facilities for the benefit of huge multinational corporations, despite the enormous problems facing the country such as the high cost of living (food, shelter, transport, healthcare) as well as the corruption already present in government. There were full on protests as these problems were being deliberately ignored by the media to keep the spotlight on the games and hide any negative effects. Even with the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, many Aboriginal groups were forcibly moved so the Olympic Village could be built, all for the benefit of, again, the multinational corporations who sponsor the games.

Qatar in 2022: HOLD MY BEER....
That was one of the best endings I ever heard:
"Soccer is like an organized religion

It compels South American countries to build opulent chathedrals
And it will ultimately be responsible for shocking numbers of death in the Middle East
And yet for millions of people, it's the only thing that gives people any meaning."

Wow, I never knew this about FIFA, goes to show how much shit can brew under your nose before you can smell it.
I give up world cup, i always enjoyed it, a family tradition and now its a memory for ever!
Yep, it's time for awakening, there's no more excuse for ignorance...
Yeah, if you're interested there's a great article by the sunday times on it! It turns out a Qatarian official who was of course COMPLETELY independent to the Qatari bid paid multiple FIFA officials in excess of $10 million for admin and favours that were, of course, COMPLETELY unrelated to the world cup!
I´ve known this about FIFA for a few years now. It´s just really really fucked up.
Chyea!
This is why we love John Oliver. 8 years have passed since this episode, still today it feels like a refined aged wine! We're in desperate need of another episode on Qatar 2022 WC. Looooot of things are going on out there.
You wish has been fulfilled.
@@intiorozco5063 and the latest piece is also a damn good one.

And this has been three years!

That's 37 full moons!

yeah it's filmed in America.
@@onkelpappkov2666 americans.... what can u expect .... :D :D
@@dani45212 [puts on nationalism hat] glad we're on Fahrenheit, it's a better system
@Chaf Cancel In F we experience about 0-100 degrees in our daily lives. In C it's like -5 to 35. IMO that's more important than boiling water.
How many of you dropped by here in 2022, just to get the clip of the FIFA official insisting that the must be able to sell beer? xD I wonder how many extra millions Qatar kicked FIFA's way, to make the ban happen?
This was filmed 7 years ago and John Oliver still managed to surprise me with things I didn't know
Literally me too
"Fuck it, let's just open a Hooters!" I died at that part. Wow, I didn't know FIFA was that evil. He enlightened me at the same time he made me laugh my butt off.
That's why I watch him.
50ºC everybody silent.... 122ºF WOW WOW lol
5:12 Oh, this aged like fine wine xD (EDIT: it's about beer)
This aged like a fine wine.
Not sure if FIFA world cup or Hunger Games... same death toll and corruption
It is funny that you mention the Hunger Games. If you haven´t seen Oliver´s video on the NCAA, do it now. You will understand it then.
Richardsen Yeah haha that's also true
This has been the best criticism to FIFA I've ever seen. Way to go mr Oliver
*_"Temperatures can reach can reach 50°C"_*
crowd: 0_0
*_"50°C is 122°F"_*
crowd: **pikachu face**
Crazy to see just how right John was about qutar being a bad place to host the world cup this year. It was even worse then expected how bad working conditions would be.
Your comment failed. It was one of the best world Cups in history and exposed a lot of hypocrisy of western media.
In the middle of FIFA World Cup 2018, anyone?
GO BELGIUM
Me
me here .this world cup is disastrous for everybody.waut for the bad news
Yeah, mate. I'll be watchin' the games, eh. Ought 'o be good
I've waited 8 years! No cable..... FIFA needs to die....did it?
John is once again nailing it every week so glad he has his show. sometimes I wish it was more than once a week.
We all do wishing it was more than once a week but it may make it less awesome. Because clearly there is a lot of research and thought are behind each awesome show.
I wish that 6 days a week when its not on air. :D
HBO has already said there's a possibility of going to an hour if it goes well. Think that would be better than increasing the number of days
von king Personally I'd rather have it at least 3 days a week (Sunday, Tuesday and Friday seem good) but to each their own :)
Think that's too much Its close to a daily show regime and you'd have the quality diluted
This is the exact episode which sparked my LWT addiction, and it’s now finally 2022, and the World Cup will be in Qatar. Insane!!
Watching this again one day before another FIFA World Cup. Just keeps better with time and ageing like a fine wine.
8:07 _"A 'Reserve?' A reserve of a BILLION dollars. When your rainy-day fund is so big you have to check it for swimming cartoon ducks, you might not be a "not-profit" anymore."_
lol.
a small reserve of a billion dollars
Trust them. They're just saving up for one really big charity in the future. It involves fleets of yachts and its gonna be awesome.
Ducktales! WOO-OO!
Reserves are not the same as a rainy day fund. At all.
@@StardustLegend no wonder Oliver compared Sepp Blatter to Trump in the follow up segment
I am brazilian guy and I'm not proud to bring the World Cup to my country.
Aquela da estádio em Manaus eu achei o cúmulo...Vai ser utilizado só para a copa,e depois já era,ninguém vai disputar nada ali...MDS
I'm with you! Brazil's government spent billions in arenas, but it told for all people that don't have enogh money to do schools, hospitals and etc. So, this WC came only and exclusively to stole brazilian peolple!
Me too. This WC Cup is just a diversion. An expensive Tv program that our Government will use as a political agenda for the elections
Rogerio Ap Silva de Andrade
With respect, the world cup is drawing the corruption and inequality in Brazil into the spotlight, so not just Brazilians but the world can see it. If this was a ploy by your government to distract everyone, it was a terrible idea.
And yet, maybe now the problems are so clear, Brazil's next election will be its most meaningful one yet, as people will vote for parties that focus on corruption and actually have a plan to deal with it.
Ryan Masad With all do respect, you are very naive to think that the world cup will bring "all the corruption and inequality" in Brazil to the spotlight. Do you see ANYONE talking about corruption and/or inequality today, the opening day of the WC? It´s clear you still have a lot to learn about how the world works. It wasn´t a terrible idea: it was a brilliant ploy, and it will work, like it´s already working. Thanks in no small part to the cup, they will remain in power for a bare minimum of another 4 years, probably 12.
And yes, people in Brazil will vote for parties that focus on corruption and actually have a plan to deal with it: those parties want even more corruption, that´s why their focus is on corruption. And their plan to deal with it will be that they do all the corruption, so there´s no enough money for anyone else to rob.
This aged well
what's ironic is that the Qatar World Cup actually HAS banned alcohol but people just won't stop bitching about it
There are 100 people that could change it immediately. If the top 100 football players in the world banned together and said fuck FIFA we won't play in the world cup unless shit gets changed.....shit would change. Because of the pressure from those players, but also because of the pressure from fans since nobody would want to watch the world cup without the best 100 players involved. All those top 100 players are rich enough that they never have to do anything they don't want to do
They never will because they just want another paycheck. It's all about $$$ now.
Leimiful That pretty much means all of those elite players are complete dicks, considering they already have millions and do not really need more money.
Cosmo Vedder You see them doing anything productive with their money? Nah, they're dicks.
Leimiful I doubt it got much to do with the paycheck. World Cup doesn't pay anywhere near the amount players got from their leagues.
Just a example. 35 million dollars is paid to a winner team. So the paycheck is divided with 23 people and often part of it is given to charity by the team. Christiano Ronaldo's yearly salary is 36 million dollars.
***** With that info I would agree it is not about the money. Which really makes me wonder even more why they wouldn't stand up against the organizers of the world cup and attempt to put an end to the shady stuff they are doing, and leads me to believe they are truly dicks at heart. Despite all of the money they give to charities for tax purposes.
World Cup in Qatar is fucking absurd. Playing football in piece of land that is surrounded by sands, I'd rather play beach football in Brazil. Too corrupted. I love football, I love the game. But I hate modern football!! Too corrupted and most of the companies that sponsors the World Cup questioned FIFA why the World Cup will be held in Qatar except for Emirates Airline. Why would FIFA chooses Qatar, a country that does not have a national football team and does not have any footballing history, to host the World Cup? Because they want money. I will not be going to watch the 2022 World Cup if it is going to held in Qatar unless they change the host.
Qatar does have a national team, but only participates in the Asian Cup and gulf-based tournaments.
Okay, that I was unclear of. Thanks for letting me know but the thing is, why Qatar?
Antony Ang Because money talks.
I think the host has to change i literally think the world cannot be played there. I mean the stadiums will be shit the football will be terrible due to the heat, and who is going to visit qatar to watch the world cup
Agree. Give the likes of Australia or USA a chance. At least people will still go to see the World Cup. FIFA has grown into a corrupted organisation, need the head of FIFA to get thrown out of his corrupted throne.
The fact that this is 2022.... and everything is just as he said with Qatar is astounding.
11:52 Seeing this in 2022, few weeks away from World Cup in Qatar is sad & still relevant - death toll exceeded what was predicted, 6500 people died.
Reporter: "Summer temperatures in Qatar can reach some 50 degrees Celsius. A difficult environment to hold a professional sporting event outdoors".
Audience: *Silence*
John: "50 degrees Celsius is 122 degrees Fahrenheit"
Audience: Ohhhh
Are you implying that they're stupid because almost all of them grew up using the Fahrenheit system?
Imstillalive813 I would argue:
Beeing afraid of negativ numbers is stupid, yes. (But very ohmerican)
Failing in getting rid of negitv numbers is stupid, yes.
Using fahrenheit is stupid, yes.
JokoCi I am A United States citizen and I understand Celsius. I do however think that our system is quite outdated though.
JokoCi Agreed, as an American, I hate our measurement system. 1 foot = 12 inch. 1 yard = 3 foot. Terrible system. Most science majors don't use it and don't really know it even in America.
I'm surprised nobody's said it yet: FIFA 0 - John Oliver 1.
His ball control when he got it into the box was all the difference!
Who's back here 8 years later after that NETFLIX documentary FIFA Uncovered?
This aged well.
You know. I've never actually seen two girls one cup. And I'm kind of ok with that
***** lol, if you call watching 2 girls and 1 cup living, then i would rather die.

As an American that has just recently begun watching soccer I am glad someone alerted me to just how fucking terrible FIFA is as an organization
FIFA as an organization...pretty fucking terrible. Soccer/Football as a game...pretty fucking awesome

6,500 deaths, not the 4,000 predicted 😢
The algorithm has a sense of humor apparently
Fantastic video. It's a shame that with everyone agreeing with this nothing is actually done to FIFA and they continue to be a disgusting organization.
***** Same here man, i love soccer/football and look forward towards the world cup for month, but if there is a boycott of Qatar world cup I will fully support it.
***** Countries have to withdraw from FIFA. It is corrupt to the core. A new organisation MUST be made.
***** They died only because of unmesured greed and corruption, nothing will ever change that
nothing can be done
all the circumstances have pretty much soured me on this years World Cup.
"Bribery and FIFA go together like peanut butter and jelly."
And Blatter is ok, because "he didn't know about the thing". You PRESIDE the FIFA forever, you are supposed to take the fall even if you were crystal clear. But you are also shady as fuck.

Great insight in FIFA. If you love watching the world cup (just like me!!), you have to know the truth about the organization behind it as well. I was surprised!!
What has been exemplary for these games has been the players, who are willing to act like true sportsmen. Helping each other up after a fall, making sure they are ok.

Is this the prequel to the segment I just watched?
I didn't know workers couldn't leave Qatar unless their employer said so. Man that is bad so what is the UN doing about it?
It's called capitalism, and it is legal, unfortunately
Qatar are friends with the US. Moreover, those people who die there are extremely poor. So noone gives a shit.
The employers in the middle east take their passports as soon as they land in their airport. That's how Dubai was built. It's Modern day slavery and the PC media never brings it up, unless you dig deeper and find it out yourself.
The UN is complaining the US doesn't give them enough support while simultaneously complaining that the US shouldn't act like the world police.

Watching this feels like watching The Colbert Report or The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, this guy is hillarious. 😂
He is a product of the Daily show. So he has brought that element to this show. the only criticism is that it's very much like the daily show, almost like a copied version on a different channel.

prodigiii712 Thats ok with me.

Bryan Morales Indeed he is... The Daily Show produced a lot of very intelligent and very funny people. Oliver included. ;)
Me, a time traveler: Damn his hair was darker back then.
Considering the topics he and his team covered in that time, I'm just surprised he didn't pull it all out
@@schattentaenzerin I’m sure he did that a lot in college.
Back here after his latest episode and the start of the WC in Qatar.
10:42 Laughing at how the audience was in shock with Qatar temperatures only after he transformed it to °F.
I think it works because it's a "We already know it's bad - we just didn't realize *how* bad"-joke

Who doesn't? That guy looks like an as*hole though. If he mock someone bad in my country using English accent of my country, I certainly would not be offended at all.
This has aged like fine wine.
@11:45 estimates 4000 deaths. actual 6500
9:37 Doesn't the Mafia usually refer to themselves as a "family"?
The USA should host the World Cup, they already have huge stadiums that the NFL keeps well maintained and it will help them get a kick in the ass to fix some roads, bridges etc.
If Qatar loses the bid over ever-growing scandals... that's where it's going.
I would be tempted to give the 2018 world cup to someone else to, but its probably too short notice now.
I wish

Update: It’s now 2022, and after watching this, it may be a bit more difficult to watch the World Cup.

+Enkii Muto I'm Portuguese and do not care about football, at all, never have, probably never will. And few things infuriate me more than meeting foreigners who go all, "You're Portuguese?! Omg, Cristiano Ronaldo!". I know they don't mean to be rude but it annoys me to no end.
+terrorista31 Eh, che, me hiciste cambiar mi perspectiva.
+Enkii Muto I speak in the name of my home country Germany when I say: You're welcome. ;)
But just for the record, it's not the fault of the game. And the protests in brazil got reported.
11:50 well… that was an understatement.
Man, this aged like fine wine
This show will have HUGE impact very soon. Very well written.
And then Brazil learned NOTHING and went and hosted Rio 2016 anyway.
It's not like the people of Brazil have much of a choice in these matters. Definitely not where the World Cup was concerned, so why would they have had any choice with the Olympics?
They had made the bid and been elected years before the world cup.
Brazil actually learned how lose 7 goals to 1 in a semi final.
conor mcgregor no we dint our govermant did
+TheYasmineFlower. yes im from Brazil and u r totally right. in fact there were a lot of people against it and there were protests and everything.. but we live in an evil country where the problems of population are totally ignored and the ones who rule here are rich white straight men so..they only care about whats good for them just like Trump :/
"World's most expensive bird toilet ..." :) So true.
I love the delay on them understanding the temperature
Another similarity between FIFA and churches: they both get out of paying any and all taxes.
Wow, I'm surprised he missed that one.
So are churches the answer that Wesley Snipes was looking for?
@@sonnytapman Yes. That's the reason why the Mormon church and Scientology got started. For-profit-religions. As L. Ron Hubbard (founder of Scientology) said: "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion."
They also fuck over people... The church does it to children while FIFA does it to countries
Amatsu Kami Mikaboshi at least FIFA only metaphorically fucks countries
I am a Brazilian and i approve this message.
Our people is blind, and the ones who need to hear the most these words of Mr. Oliver can´t even speak english.
I’m here after his new segment about qatar and remembered he did a segment about this earlier.
Probably his best segment, every joke and punchlines just perfect.
Sepp Blatter got an 8 year ban, please do a follow up John! You have some serious celebrations to get through with this.
That movie looks like a godfather type flick lol
I watched this segment when it first came out, and of course thought to myself “another friken’ corrupt organization screwing people” but rewatching it now, it occurs to me that FIFA is one the last (hopefully) fragments of white colonialism, in that, just like white colonialists, they go into other countries, ignore those countries’ laws and force their own on said countries, then leave with all the money while those countries have to deal with the aftermath of their presence, all while FIFA reminds them how fortunate it was for the countries that FIFA decided to go there.
The Follow up to this is going to be insane
Yes it will, I can not WAIT for him to scathingly attack them. Because Sepp Blatter and all the FIFA folks were accused and then aquitted let out of jail free. They truly are corrupt to the core them and their "friends".
Luckily, Sepp Blatter is banned for 8 months. FIFA is so corrupted and broke it drives me mad!
He was banned for 8 years not months
Vote for Tokyo Sexwale
FreedomHero4 too late
Christian Astorga I know, but I still had to say it because of that fucking name
FreedomHero4 lol
6:20 Even in Ace Attorney, a game where lawyers have an absurdly difficult time getting evidence in time, their trials usually last 3 days. In this case the arrest trial and sentencing happened all in that time frame!
Not to mention the game is meant to be an accelerated version of trials
This aged like fine wine now that Qatar just prohibited beer sales in the stadiums and built the stadiums with modern slavery. Jesus fuckin Christ FIFA
I can't wait to see John Oliver face when the world cup is in North America 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇲🇽 I bet he got to all the games in New York City.
