Crap strikers. Serginho couldn't hit a barn door when it mattered.
Day 1: Qatar vs Ecuador - Match Discussion Only Please.
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Terrible for Valencia
Enner has scored a quarter of the goals he managed at west ham, in just one half of WC football.
Thought they were still in prison
well, to be fair, Mexico weren't exactly a powerhouse in 1970

Ecuador players about to find themselves millionaires at half-time. Or do you think the Qatari team will be playing for their lives next half? Literally, of course.
Is the stadium full? I can't watch at the moment.
Qatar has nothing to do with Africa
Ah probably.
After the Asian Cup 2019 I thought Qatar might have very slight chance of qualifying, they looked pretty solid. But now they look awful, like sunday league level awful.
The right back especially looks nothing like a professional player, cannot even control a ball properly

Sunday league standard this from the hosts......... an embarrassing start to an embarrassing tournament. Long may they concede 5 a game.

I'm basing my knowledge on a few clips and the fact they didn't seem to have any stadiums to play in in 2010...
I hope they paid less than 10p for that Miguel's citizenship, he's about as bad a professional footballer as I've ever seen.
SA and SK/Japan weren't either. But at least they were somewhere on the footballing landscape
Seems so, they won’t show us the crowd unless it’s a bunch of blokes jumping around so it’s hard to see

I swear, Maguire and Donny would get goals against them...
Though they’ve played in 3 different continental tournaments! South American, Asian and North America! Just euros and Africa for go
And whatever shite New Zealand play in
USA
Japan / SK
South Africa
Not Qatar level of rubbish but still surprised not one of these lost. Might have expected 1 on average
FFS
That shouldn't even be an option for another 3-4 WCs. Give it to an Asian or African country with some history for 2030 then SA or Europe after that.
Is this similar scenario to CL final this year where Madrid had goal ruled out v pool?
I agree. I didn't believe it when I heard the stat
Qatar would have taken points off us last season under ole.
There was 1 defender, but the ‘keeper was ahead, making it offside. Offsides always look strange when the goalie is ahead, but it was definitely off.
The speed with which Football standards have improved is good to seeThat was a nice diagonal pass but awful pass.
Not sure how this was done in ancient times, but aren't the hosts also seeded in pot 1? So limiting the number of powerhouses they could get in their group. Then arrange the schedule to have them play the worst team first
Ref has had a very good game.
yeah, most likely paid off fans
El Salvador in 82, I think it was, weren't this bad and lost 10-1 to Hungary!
Ecuador aren't be even that good, solid but nothing more. I can see the Netherlands inflicting the biggest ever world cup defeat on Qatar when they meet, if they feel like it.
Didn't think we'd get an Ole reference in this thread but here we are.
All those sides had one or two good players and had a bit of composure. this lot look totally lost
I expected them to make the second round and possibly the quarters regardless of who they faced from Group B.
It's unfortunate they got the openener, this would be an awesome third game before the quarters, unless Qatar let the occasion get to them, or walked onto the pitch convinced Ecuador had been "sorted out".
Have Qatar had a shot?
Qatar actaully created a chance.
That was a great chance
Fuuuccckkkkk Qatar should have scored!
