Group A

Winning the opener would put big pressure on Senegal. This team is full of kids. I hope they can rise to the occasion.

Qatar - Ecuador 0 - 7

Didn't Qatar pay off half the Ecuador squad?

Anyway, how many here will watch the game? Arranged plans at the time of kick off and there won't be any tv's around, so I'll miss the grand opening.

Will barely catch some late fixtures of this tournament, timing is so off for me.



And most importantly, it doesn't feel like World Cup season. It only feels like an extended break from [club] football.

 

[Ethor]

I'll probably tune in, just to see if Ecuador doesn't deliberately tank given that I don't know a thing about Qatar team at all. Tommorow interested in watching the Netherlands vs Senegal match.

 

[ElDuccio]

1-1

 

[IM21]

Host team has never lost the opener game and with the bribe rumour i think this wont end today.
So id say it'll be a draw.

 

[CraigInter]

Looking forward to it now.

 

[Ethor]

That was quick! Guess not!

 

[ADRossi]

Apparently they weren't bribed.

 

[Javier'sSon]

lol what a fuckin farce

 

[IM21]

Apparently they weren't bribed.

Apparently they were. Lol

I mean the refs

 

[ADRossi]

Apparently they were. Lol

There's no way that goal should have been disallowed.

daylight robbery.

There's no way that goal should have been disallowed.

There should be two players before the most advanced player. If the GK is not one of them then it should be two other players. Hard to catch but well done to the var team

 

[Javier'sSon]

Dude it's more like Ecuador paid the Qatari keeper

 

[Javier'sSon]

imagine he saves it!


Nah no way

 

[Dave54]

Penalty at least.

 

[ADRossi]

Man, I didn't think Qatar would be this horrible. They look like a Serie C team.

 

[Ethor]

Orsanto, how the hell is he even allowed to ref this tournament

 

[Javier'sSon]

Man, I didn't think Qatar would be this horrible. They look like a Serie C team.

I swear there is no bigger enemy for humankind than nerves, of course there's levels to everything in life but not being able to do the most simple of functions as a professional is astonishing.
