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


Isn't the keeper further back than the Qatar player shown in the 3d image? It's hard to tell from the camera angle and then all the others players are phased out from the graphic so you just have to assume the defender was relevant player but it doesn't look very clear, needs more camera angles.
 
Yup he shouldn’t be doing stupid shit like this in a foreign country when he has young kids with him.
Fair enough if you’re by yourself or with adults.
Let’s hope he’s not dragged out of there by security and kicked the shit out of leaving his daughter there alone.

Why are some people such idiots
 
A lot of talk about arm bands…the Qatari captain has got a Palestinian armband on.

Why haven’t the BBC mentioned it?
He's not wearing one.
 
The Qatari number 11 is the only one who seems to have a bit more about him. The rest have looked hopeless.

Exactly. They highlight something and remove all the context. It's terrible.

The second goal was a clearer offside to me but I reckon by then VAR had thrown in the towel and didn't want to bring further focus on their first decision. Ergo, it was dodgy as feck.
 
Ecuador don't look a great team either.
 
Qatar should just play it long and counter press Ecuador because none of their players look ready to actually carry the ball forward outside of their number 11. The one time qatar half heartedly pressed Ecuador, Ecuador looked completely confused.
 
The guy was being an idiot .. come on.. he wasnt sitting in the Ecuadorian section.. he was sitting among the home fans, or at least a neutral section where there will be a lot of home support.. and making a gesture (I'm not sure what it was , but probably after the disallowed goal suggesting the ref was bribed maybe? )

It was a stupid thing to do.. He was clearly trying to get a reaction..
