Day 1: Qatar vs Ecuador - Match Discussion Only Please.

[DomesticTadpole]

Dublin is unbearable.

Sure Martin Keown will turn up sometime.

 

[Raoul]

Remember the days when countries that were good at football were in the opening match ?

 

[Andersonson]

Hope Equador crush them

 

[hellhunter]

They won the Africa Cup of Nations. They have been grooming this team for quite some time.

What?

 

[KirkDuyt]

Qatar look like a FIFA team when your opponent is AFK.

 

[The Firestarter]

How the heck did Qatar qualify?

 

[hellhunter]

2-0

 

[Castia]

Gooooaaaal

 

[crossy1686]

This is real shit on a stick football being served up by Qatar. Great way to kick off the tournament.

To be fair, the opening day has been shite for years now ever since FIFA realised there was money to be made.

 

[duffer]

That's a lovely goal.

 

[Freak]

feck yes!

 

[RaddyRed]

Game and tournament over for Qatar.

 

[horsechoker]

That was off by a country mile

 

[avgp_1]

Enner Valencia what a goal

 

[JPRouve]

you'd have thought they'd at least have put their game against The Netherlands first (even Donny would look good against them - yes, I know he's not there!)

Nah, it's a bad look if the host nation gets trampled during the opening game.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Valencia with another. 0-2.

 

[Tibs]

Booooom 2-0

Top header!

 

[Dan]

Lovely goal.

 

[mitchmouse]

They're the current Asia Cup champions so it did work out in some way.

who else is in the competition? my gran's dominoes side?

 

[Zen86]

That was a cracking header

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Enner's on fire
Your defence is terrified
Enner's on fire
Your defence is terrified

 

[antohan]

Yes! Come on! Build up GD

 

[mitchmouse]

great header

 

[Catt]

2-0

 

[LARulz]

They're the current Asia Cup champions so it did work out in some way.

Are all the other teams that bad or is this not the Qatar that regular viewers of them see?

 

[Freak]

This Valencia dude is pretty good

 

[Desert Eagle]

What have we paid for lads?

 

[Bole Top]

excellent opening game.

 

[Toad]

Great goal that

 

[Tony247]

Hold on a bit. That's when the ball is already in the box not when the ball was played. Everybody was clearly on side when the freekick was took.

I still don't understand offside rules.

As we speak 2-0

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Offside by 2m

 

[mitchmouse]

seven minutes of VAR to come...

 

[ha_rooney]

Terrific header

 

[Deery]

Looks off

 

[Eurotrash]

Great goal

 

[Ayoba]

I take it you like what you are seeing from Qatar then? World class, them, truly.

 

[RoadTrip]

What a header

 

[JPRouve]

They won the Africa Cup of Nations. They have been grooming this team for quite some time.

Americans and geography.

 

[Vidyoyo]

More like 'eader Valencia
