The Qatari sports journalists are very happy about the German elimination.
In the biggest sports show in the country, the DFB team is mocked.
Munich/Doha – The elimination of the German national team at the 2022 World Cup is used as an opportunity to make fun of the DFB team on the biggest football TV show in Qatar.
In the Al Majlis
format
, moderated by Khalid Jassim, the men sitting together bid farewell to their audience with their hands over their mouths and waving at the camera.
While some are mocked, in Qatar the others are courted, because a few days ago the Brazilian superstar Neymar was a guest.
World Cup out of the German national team: mouth-to-mouth gesture on Qatari television
The mouth-to-mouth gesture of the DFB players before the first round match against Japan polarized even after Germany's elimination.
In the football show
Al Majlis
on the channel
Alkass One
, the guests invited by presenter Khalid Jassim usually talk about Qatari football and its players and clubs.
During the World Cup in your own country, however, there are also signs that the World Cup games will be discussed before and after.
From 12:30 a.m. Qatar time (10:30 p.m. in Germany), the results of German Group E were of course discussed.
While no excitement was reported from the general discussion, the participants in the Majlis (in English: room of gathering) saved the big bang for the finale.
When the participants say goodbye to the audience, the camera focuses on all the participants one after the other, who, imitating the mouth-to-mouth gesture, say goodbye to the audience.

Qatari gloating over Germany's World Cup defeat
It really isn't surprising that the national team's protest action after the World Cup's end is being discussed again.
Some see the apparently excessive politicization of the World Cup as too great a distraction factor for the DFB players, under whose impression they could only be eliminated.
Others, including the Qatari TV experts, are now using this to express their claims friends about the German elimination.
But not only the TV personalities of Qatar felt attacked by the mouth-to-mouth gesture, the spectators in the stadiums also showed their displeasure at the Germany vs. Spain game at the gesture.
The gesture of the national team was already the minimal form of protest, after FIFA caved in before Qatar and had the "One Love" bandage summarily and in fact banned at short notice.

Neymar received royally in the show
While the German national team at
Al Majlis
only seems to be good at receiving scorn and ridicule, the controversial superstar Neymar was given a royal welcome.
When the Brazilian, employed by Paris St. Germain, enters the show, another guest has to make room to the right of the presenter.
Photos and videos on the moderator's Instagram page bear witness to this.
It doesn't bother that Neymar stoically keeps his sunglasses on in the actually sun-free studio.
A gesture that is considered impolite not only in the Arab world, even though the Qataris always attach so much importance to politeness to the outside world.
The time of Neymar's visit is also interesting, when he was said to have been in bed with a fever shortly before.
The disease is attributed to the air conditioning in the stadiums in the Brazil team.
