FIFA 2022 world cup

[Haunebu]

Come on man, all is good so far in terms of the calls the VAR team has made. Maybe you misunderstood some rules, or you were probably not observant enough. With regard to the result so far. I am not surprised, even South Africa tried harder when Africa hosted their First world cup.

What they should focus mostly on right now is implementing damage control because I honestly don't see them making a comeback on this one.

Am not expecting Qatar to win this one at this point, but they could still score a goal to close the gap between them. I hope they don't score 2 goals and end up drawing them since I bet on Ecuador in this match.

Also, it's tough to confirm whether the entire Qatar bribing scandal was true or not at this point which is why it will get swept under the rug soon.

For more than 60 minutes, I think the game is boring, both from Qatar and from Ecuador. Because here we can see that the quality of world-class games is still not really shown, especially the Qatar game. Because they are the host I think it's only natural. So it's not that thrilling, maybe we can't wait to see the games of big teams like Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, and France.

The rumor going about the internet is deceitful and a total trash. The world cup is bigger than that rubbish rumour. It is absurd to even give it a thought at first. I really f*ck up initially.
The Valencia 3 mins goal was an off side from the new fifa rules and I'd you don't know the rule you will argue. My bother told me about the rule as it happened and I knew he was right and var was right also

Well, I won't want to argue much about that the situation since, it can't result in a reversal but rather, I would seek to know what you know or what your brother might have told you of the new rules. Perhaps other than just widely saying no, you might just spill the rule that applies to the situation.
Igehhh already stated one;

The first goal was clearly offside, and most of us seem to be missing the new Offside rules, which state that when a keeper is out of his box, the last defender becomes the keeper, and you need at least two defenders to make it onside. However, there was only one defender behind the goalkeeper in this case. It was a good call.

A rule am familiar with indeed, at least since the last UCL that, It takes at least 2 defenders to be keep an opponent on site in the event that, the goalkeeper goes all out to make some challenge in the defence. Where one of the two players stands in as the goalkeeper while the other as the last defender. Yeah, I know that.

Looking at that analysis, we could see that, the goalkeepers back was projected just enough to keep the Ecuadorian player on site enough for the series of other events that followed to proceed. That's what I see at least to count for a 2 Qatari players between the net and the ball and again, the ball came off a Qatari players head if am getting that right.

The first half has ended and i believe that this match will end with 3:1 already its  a 2:0, Ecuador is winning, what i noticed from the match is that if Qatar add more pressure they will likely to equalize the match because the margin is not too far the way I'm seeing it, i believe that hafter this second half and by then Qatar will undergoes an advice from their team, it will make them to know their loophole, because i have not seen what a better strategies of Players by Ecuador using

Looking at the results of Ecuador's last few matches, it is easy to guess that their defense is very strong. They have not conceded any goal in the last 6 matches. The last goal conceded was against Argentina. The match was drawn 1-1. After they took a 2-0 lead in just 31 minutes today, I was sure Ecuador would win this match. But Ecuador's players are playing better than I expected. Qatar had some good attacks. But they could not break Ecuador's defense. The match looks likely to end 2-0 or 2-1.

Ecuador leads 2-0 in historic Qatar World Cup opener. But it is not surprising. Because Ecuador is much ahead of Qatar. Which we can see in today's game. But since Qatar is the host nation, they need to perform better.

[Vinaa77]

It seems that Qatar is only hosting the FIFA WORLD CUP at the moment. We see their game seems unprepared as the host. Qatar played very badly, no skill shown. Very low pass accuracy. This is bad for the host.
If you look at the current match, it may be very difficult to get points for the hosts.

With Qatar current performance, I don't think they are going anywhere in world cup, their performance is very weak, they are not coordinated, they don't even have any short on target yet, I believe Ecuador is still going to score more goals in  second half. I think Ecuador coach should substitute Valencia because I notice they are trying to injure him, since they are already leading with two goals, they should just reserve him for their next match.

Yes Even in the second half Qatar has not been able to build attacks to reduce the number of goals. They have not been able to build up the pressure against Ecuador. Qatar's weakness is in passing accuracy, even though they also have the best staiker, namely Almoez Ali as the top scorer for the Asian Cup 2019.

Qatari players often miscommunicated when distributing the ball so they often lost the ball and were controlled by Ecuador players.
Even though they were already 2-0 up, the Ecuador players also continued to apply pressure. Valencia's pressure continued to endanger Saad's goal. He has scored 3 goals, although the first goal was disallowed.

A one-sided game is boring for the spectators of the stadium as well as all the viewers of the world. Here it is very clear that Qatar will lose the game. In the meantime, Ecuador is leading by 2 goals. If Qatar wants to get back into the game, they need to give 2 goals. But this is no longer possible at this point for them. 73 minutes of the match has already passed and now the time will go faster. So it should be better to take preparation for the next game.

Twitter was bursting with disbelief and churning up another conspiracy theory when VAR said it was an offside. Expecting a lot of trolls claiming that Qatar paid the VAR review team to disallow that goal  .
All the accusation about Qatar bribing Ecuador players and they are now winning the match easily. The Qatar defense was terrible and the goalie made some terrible mistakes in this match.

[slackovic]

I think it's safe to say that Qatar will be the outsider in this World Cup. I will be really surprised if they manage to secure even one point in the next two matches. If they score a goal, that will be their biggest achievement.

Ecuador only need to last less than 10 minutes to ensure they get 3 points in this opening game. Seeing what happened on the field, it was not difficult for them to maintain it because the ball flowed more in the midfield. Qatar did not play well in this match, it was really a shame when they appeared as hosts. In fact, we want to see an interesting home game to provide competition, but that was not shown by Qatar in this match.

Never before has a host country lost in the opening match. Qatar had 2 good chances, but that was it. The teamplay was not good, they won't score a goal with that. You couldn't really hear the atmosphere in the stadium on the TV, but it was loud during the goals. Psychologically, the motivation is broken after losing the first game.

There is nothing surprising in this opening match as predicted, it's just strange enough that Qatar has been appointed as the host for a long time but didn't prepare its national team well, if they can't score in this match, is it possible for them to score in other matches? I don't think so.

[Zaguru12]

LOL! Ecuador are leading by 2 goals how has that happened? All I have read leading up to this world cup is how good qatar are and they will surprise all of us. Ecuador are the weakest team of the group to so I wonder if Qatar will pick up any points in the group stages? That would be so nice to watch because Qatar are a very corrupt country and they should not  be hosted this world cup in the 1st place. Who was the last team who hosted the world cup and got knocked out at the group stages, England? At least England picked up some pts. I have only been watching for 5 mins but Qatar have not been getting dominated has it been like that all game? Ecuador have had a lot of possession according to the stats.

It's no longer a debate that Qatar shouldn't have been the host of this world Cup but we shouldn't point fingers at them only FIFA corruption lead to this.

With said Qatar are not going to be the first host nation to get eliminated from group stage, South Africa in 2010 were the first. Although Qatar are the first host nation to lose an opening match.

To me this only shows that there are things in the world that money can't buy and that's talent. You can have all the money in the world, but it's not enough to have a team that can compete with the best football national teams in the world. Simply as that. They were preparing their national team but they started only when Qatar was confirmed to be the host. 10 years is not enough time to build the national football team to be among 32 best teams.

[ajanwalker]

I kept my coupon. Actually, before the tournament started, I thought that Qatar would beat Ecuador, but when I saw what was written here, I gave up and played under 2.5 goals in the match. Only when the goals came in the first half, I was afraid that my coupon would definitely lose, but in the second half there was no sound of the hall. Enner Valencia would have scored the earliest Hatrick in tournament history, but his first goal was not counted due to offside. In the matches to be played tomorrow, Senegal Netherlands match will be over 2.5 goals and I will play against Wales in the USA & Wales match. Good luck everyone.

With what i have seen in the match today, it's obvious that Qatar that the possibility is there for Qatar to be out of the match, the way I'm seeing things, i taught that at least they will score 1 goal after for the second half after adhering some of advice from the team, but the match still end with the initial score which Ecuador 2:0 Qatar, that's to show that Qatar will be out of the league through their performance, because in their next matc, i don't think that they will pertake or participate well to actualized their target.

[RockBell]

Enner Valencia, one of Ecuador's most seasoned players, is the only player to have scored at least five goals in the World Cup's opening round. Despite Valencia's absence, Ecuador's players continue to play admirably, and when the final buzzer has sounded, Ecuador has triumphed.I don’t think Qatar will go far in this World Cup their performance is just very poor, having Senegal and Netherlands it will difficult for Qatar to qualify in the group stage.

Exactly with this poor gameplay and mistakes it’s impossible to even get a point in the next two games they have, and the interesting things is Qatar is the first country to lose the opening match as a host for the World Cup in history. Ecuador played well i must say and secured an easy win

I thought Qatar had prepared for it all, but after this match ended, my guess was wrong that they weren't even able to score a goal. Being the host is not always possible for everything, from Qatar we know that it is still far from world-class football competition. Throughout the second half Ecuador continued to attack and almost scored a third goal, on the other hand Qatar could only occasionally control the midfield and it was very difficult to penetrate the Ecuador defense.

Qatar did nothing in today's game. They couldn't control the ball and they are lucky that Ecuador didn't humiliate them with more goals. I hope that this is the last time that FIFA gave the World Cup to a country that doesn't play football.
