FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

The World Cup games finally start today... I think there will be a lot of interesting matches and I hope there won't be many boring ones... In the opening match I don't know who can win, the situation is not clear... On the one hand Ecuador got to World Cup from the fourth place, losing only to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay... On the other hand Qatar has had no problems at all in qualifying... I'm going to guess that Ecuador will win...

That makes the two of us, I have never doubted the winner for the Ecuadorian team. This is regardless that Qatar is hosting the world cup. They do not have the track record of Ecuador, and they are more accurate and faster that the Qatari national team. The world cup is finally here, many months have finally become today, and it was as if it will never happen as it was far in view.

If Qatar would win today, then I must have lost something big because I will bet on this one.

What do you mean when you say that Qatar had no problems qualifying for the World Cup? They are the host and they qualified because of that and not because they beat someone in qualifications. Normally I would say that Uruguay will win this match easily but this is the first match of the tournament and surprises are normal. For me a draw would be a surprise and Qatar winning would be a shock.

Alot of amazing stuffs happening as the world cup finally kickoff today. Qater will be facing Ecuador and the host of the world cup will probably take their first winning, it will be awkward to see Qater not win their first game of the world cup. Citizens will dominate the stadium as enough chanting will held during the kickoff time. I'm not expecting multiple goals from the both side, it will be tough and gamblers are not fully active because they want to examine how the whole situation will be in the first day.

Basically the two teams that will compete in this opening match will give their best game. both the Qatar and Ecuador squads, will certainly appear all out to win the battle. The reason is, the opening match is quite a prestigious match considering that all eyes around the world will be on this ceremonial match.

I have predicted it in several previous posts, but regarding the results we will find out very soon. we will see the actions of the two teams that will compete, especially now that the issue of bribery has graced the controversy in the opening match. I hope that the two teams will present an honest match to thin out the issue of the bribery scandal which is currently making hot news.

so, let's wait. only a matter of hours, we will celebrate the feast of this most prestigious championship tournament from football.

In the opening match of the World Cup, I bet on Ecuador to win. In recent months, both teams have played only friendly matches, and Qatar, which won the last 4 friendly matches, achieved better results. However, they did not play against opponents at the level of Ecuador. I just hope that the referees don't follow in the footsteps of Fifa officials and favor the Qatar team.

In the case of any match, one cannot blame the referee if one team loses. Because apart from the referee's decision being something that cannot be contested by the players, now there are many tools on the field to detect any mistakes that occur on the field. If for example Qatar wins the opening of the World Cup today, then it is also very important for the hosts not to be knocked out by their opponents in this season's World Cup.

All the machines who are used to detect referee's error can't fight to the corrupted referee. For example, VAR can say that there was no penalty but no one can force the referee to change his decision. Of course, later he would be punished for that but for the losing team there's no punishment good enough to make up for the lost game.

To be honest, not the most interesting match was chosen for the opening of the World Cup, but since there will be no other matches today, it will be possible to watch this one. ) I see that Ecuador loves to play - total less, and it's hard not to notice how many times they have played matches with a score 0:0 lately, they are good at playing defense and things are not very good in attack. Since this is the first match, I will assume that it will be neat and we will not see many goals today.

I guess Qatar against Ecuador was purposely to entertain the country as a host community but even at then to be their first meet up in the world cup, you shouldn't underrate Qatar because they had an automatic qualification as the whole match was hosted in their country, they are good and bless with good players, the last time they had a friendly match with Ecuador, they won and not only that, if you look closely at Qatar last five matches, they won 4 matches and draw just 1 to Chile that usually give Argentina some headache in their matches. It is very likel that Qatar will go far.

I would like to see my country in this world cup.  But for a lot of fans like me who want to see their country, all they have to do is watch the matches on TV.  I hope it will be a fun tournament.  The world cup is the most valuable tournament.  Winning this is a different prestige for countries, and it is the biggest dream for footballers.  The dream of the two most perfect football players in the world, like Messi and Ronaldo, is to win this world cup right now.  Since there is no transfer, the struggles of countries with individually talented players become more colorful.  Also, national matches are more exciting for me.  What I have to say for this tournament, my favorite team is Brazil.  Although I am a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, I regret to say that I cannot imagine them making it to the final.

You gave a very good example in this regard and as I said above that the referee's decisions cannot be interfered with by any player and every tool when the match starts is also all turned on in order to avoid mistakes in making decisions by the referee when a violation is protested by players. I think today was a very good day to see the World Cup opener going straight to the hosts against Ecuador.

Qatar and Equator have only ever played one game together, which Qatar won. Because of the host nation's recent performance—four victories and a single draw against Chile, a reputable opponent—and Equador's recent record of just one win and four draws, respectively, I have Qatar as my pick for the first game.

I've analyzed the Qatar matches a bit lately and although they were relatively successful and winning, they scored almost half of their goals from penalties, which is very unusual.
It seems they had a friendly referee at every game, and reportedly some games were completely closed to the public.
Qatar is actually a big unknown for everyone, but I hope that in the world championship we will see good matches where the better teams will win, with a fair trial for everyone.
I am really interested in how Qatar will play today and what results they will achieve at this world cup.

Yes, I agree... I was hasty and mistaken, of course Qatar is the host country of the World Cup... I meant to say that Qatar won the Asian Cup in 2019... But of course that doesn't make them favourites for today's game... I made a multi bet on today's games, including this match and I think Qatar will lose, although a few years ago they managed to win a friendly against Ecuador, but today will be their first serious encounter...

Ecuador plays good football. They have good players in their team who are better than Qatari players. But since Qatar are the host team they will have some chance, they will have the full support of their fans which will make them confident to win the match.

Since it's Qatar that's hosting the world cup, I think they will be favored in the match, Qatar will do everything possible to win today's match because I think it will be kind of embarrassing for the country hosting the world cup to lose their first match, let's just see what will happen we are having just few hours before the match will start, but my prediction is that Qatar is going to win the match, it might just be a slight goal difference but I think they will win.

Qatar has hosted this world cup at a cost of 220 billion dollars and today is the first day of the world cup today Ecuador play with Qatar and Qatar is very happy that they have been chosen to host such a big game and they will play the first match today but if they lose the first match today they will be happy Doesn't look like it'll be around .  Because it is an honor for them.  They have spent 220 billion to shock the whole world but if they lose the first match it will be a dishonorable task for them so they will try to win the match today at any cost.

It's true that Qatar will play desperately at home, even though Qatar is not too optimistic, at least they are really ready for this opening match, winning or losing depends on the field, I hope Qatar can win tonight's match, even though Ecuador is on paper to conquer Qatar tonight, at least they have given the best for their country...
