Whenever an upset occurs in the World Cup, the question of whether the World Cup is scripted becomes a hot topic online. Hong Kong director Wong Jing previously trended on social media during the 2018 Russia World Cup for his comments.

At that time, several upsets occurred in the World Cup, with traditional powerhouses like Argentina, Germany, and Brazil experiencing inconsistent performances, sparking widespread discussion. Wong Jing subsequently posted on social media that he had watched over ten World Cups, but this one was "too fake to watch," and questioned whether the matches were "fixed." His comments quickly went viral online.

His views quickly drew two diametrically opposed opinions.

Supporters argued that the frequent unexpected results during the World Cup, coupled with fluctuating odds in the betting market, had raised suspicions among many fans, and therefore Wang Jing was merely voicing the doubts of some.

However, many football commentators and fans stated that football is inherently a sport full of chance; upsets, comebacks, and last-minute victories are precisely what makes the World Cup so captivating. Currently, there is no reliable evidence to prove that the World Cup matches are "scripted" or systematically manipulated, and the unexpected results should not be used to conclude that the tournament is orchestrated.

In fact, claims that the World Cup is "scripted" or "matches are arranged" appear on social media almost every World Cup. These discussions often quickly trend, especially when traditional powerhouses suffer upsets, controversial refereeing decisions occur, or last-minute comebacks happen. However, to date, there is no authoritative evidence to support the claim that the World Cup has a unified "script."

Whether you believe this is the charm of football or consider the matches inherently controversial, one thing is certain: the discussions, controversies, and passion generated by the World Cup remain a focal point for football fans worldwide. Wong Jing's famous quote, "The World Cup is all scripted," has become a topic that netizens revisit and discuss every World Cup.
