FIFA 2022 world cup

[Gosgosking]

Qatar vs Ecuador match has started everyone has a lot of bets on this opening game I think to watch it now see if Qatar will win this game as the host or will lose to dispel the news of rumors about bribes

Ecuador is leading the game against  Qatar,  before this game started it is something that is hard to predict because I don't see which club is more superior between the both club. But Ecuador will win the game.

Ecuador seemed solid and good enough to me to go next round in this group. Qatar on the hand looks like its playing against upper league football team. They couldn't even score the last goal position at last second in first half. No miracle is expected here I think Qatar will end in 4th place in this group. Today we are having rather boring match but tomorrow's matches will be more enjoyable in my opinion.

Only if Qatar can change their style of play to match Ecuador in the second half will they have a chance against Ecuador, who have really controlled the game thus far. I don't think any of the teams will advance to the competition's next round given how both of them are currently performing. The reason Ecuador has dominated this game is because they are facing a weak team like Qatar; let's see what they have to offer in their upcoming match after the level of skill they have displayed today.

This is a little difficult in my opinion because when you see their performance in the first half they keep trying to keep their line of defense and when changing this defensive scheme with offensive it is clear that someone has to be sacrificed and that is their line of defense.
They only apply full defense at the moment there are already several gaps whether maybe they attack will get good results because indeed I feel this will only boomerang for them.

2-0 to Ecuador and I think it will take some wild things to happen for Qatar to win this match now. The hype behind this Qatar team because they have the home advantage and they have not threatened Ecuador 1 time yet while Ecuador look like they could score every time they attack.

Ecuador team is very good, I don't think Qatar will even score one goal in this match again. Enner Valencia scored 3 goals but one goal was cancelled. Qatar still have hope to score but...From the beginning I was thinking that Qatar would win their first leg of the tournament. Football is a game of irony. All the predictions against Ecuador is vain.

Qatar doesn't look strong in this game because Ecuador is dominating them all round. Ecuador has made two goal attempts with two goals but the host nation Qatar is yet to have an attempt in the game, the possessions of Ecuador show a clear indication that they are the favorite in this game and I believe more goals will be scored by the Ecuadorians and am predicting Enner Valencia the captain of Ecuador to score a hat trick in the game. With the performance of Qatar in the first half I don't think they will score a goal in this match against Ecuador.

The match seems boring.  Ecuador alone is playing well while Qatar is playing very badly.  Ecuador conceded 2 goals to Qatar but Qatar failed to score a single goal.  It's too bad that Qatar is losing with another team in their own stadium. Qatar's grand arrangement was of no use.  They are losing the match on the first day itself . Ecuador showed how strong they are.

The optimism on the field is the complete opposite of what Qatar had been thinking before the game started. Ecuador lead 2-0 at the end of the first half. Perhaps another goal or two could be added to Qatar's score as the second half begins. Let's see if there is any difference or not.

[rendravolt]

If everything goes has supposed the opening match should end in favour of Ecuador because the have so much good players. The last H2H clash at the international friendlies Ecuador had the possession but failed to lead in the penalty shoot out. Qatar are the host country but unfortunately the might not make it through the group stage.

The first half score ended with 0-2 for Ecuador. Enner Valencia should have scored a hat-trick in the first half, but his first goal was invalidated due to VAR.

The host factor and also the support of the fans will certainly be a distinct advantage for Qatar, but Ecuador who comes from across the Latin American continent will certainly not just come as a guest, Ecuador will certainly also be aiming for his first victory in the current world cup and from a player standpoint, of course Ecuador superior to Qatar, which only has players who play in the local league, while Ecuador mostly relies on players who do play in European competitions.

Yes, with this match it has been proven that Ecuador can win the match. The host factor is yet to be a determinant of victory, what is certain to be seen is the quality of every player who competes and Ecuador has it all. So as an opening game this is quite good and in the second half Qatar can at least reduce the lag behind its goals.

Qatar still have hope to score but...From the beginning I was thinking that Qatar would win their first leg of the tournament. Football is a game of irony.

The rules that made Valencia's goal were canceled after referee Daniele Orsato who came from Italy saw Var because the Qatar goalkeeper was considered the last player.

Qatar will not be able to return the goal if they don't dare to cross the Ecuador defense crossing. For 45 minutes, Qatar only released crossing 1 time in the 45th minute and almost a goal. Technically, Qatar must dare to play attack to open up opportunities.
Qatar has no strong confidence against Ecuador.

It seems that Enner Valencia can no longer continue the match in the second half because of the knee collision earlier.
Apparently, Valencia continued his match in the second half.

[minime0105]

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

[Igebotz]

Hype on the Qatar team due to a home advantage or host nation,,,
I haven't heard anything like that, the most I've heardof them is the accusationof some possible bribery. In fact, there isn't anything of a home advantage in the world cup. I'll say everyone is at home in this game and worst is, the Qatari team have been nothing but off in the game. Most of it have been played played there halve of the pitch with little impact or even resistance from Qatar.

Enner Valencia have been phenomenal in this match. It feels as though, he's taking his chances at highest goal scorer in the world cup with Qatar. Somehow, i think the third goal is what should have gone through the VAR checks and probably cancelled instead of the first goal.

It was a difficult 45 minutes from Qatar; their defense line was shambles the entire time, allowing Valencia free space, and their midfielders were nowhere to be found; they were playing long balls, losing possession, and putting the team under pressure. Let's wait and see how they responds in the second half.

The first goal was clearly onside, 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.

[Josefjix]

This is a little difficult in my opinion because when you see their performance in the first half they keep trying to keep their line of defense and when changing this defensive scheme with offensive it is clear that someone has to be sacrificed and that is their line of defense.

A very dissapointing first half for the host of the world cup. Ecuador dominating the first half with lots of goal scoring chances while Qater also miss some vital Chances like the last heading chance which their striker didn't deliver. The scoresheet is 2 nil, Ecuador leading, more actions in the second half as we will be expecting more goals either from both sides. More gambling will take place online, I will join in the betting on the oldds against Qater, they're still newbie in the space of football.

[Smartvirus]

It's game on already with the first half haven't been concluded but, sadly the Qatari team have not made the most of the first half. They had prepared more of a defensive strategy against the Ecuadorian side but that doesn't seem to be working so much as the Ecuadorian team have tiered through the defence of Qatar like water melons. The goalkeeper is almost exposed everytime and have even gotten a yellow card just to save himself. That of course won Ecuador there penalty and R. Valencia have got enough to be joyful of. To have banged the first goal of the world cup and already leading the goal scoring with 2 goals to his name.
The second half is already here and I look forward to seeing a more composed and in control Qatar.

[Issa56]

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.

2-0 to Ecuador and I think it will take some wild things to happen for Qatar to win this match now. The hype behind this Qatar team because they have the home advantage and they have not threatened Ecuador 1 time yet while Ecuador look like they could score every time they attack.

Qatar keep giving away fouls which Ecuador have a very good record of scoring from advanced free kicks and that has showed because every time the ball is delivered into the pen box of Qatar it is a Ecuadorian player that gets his head onto it. My prediction for this match will be 4-0 to Ecuador.

In the results of the first round of Qatar vs Ecuador, it is very possible for Ecuador to win the match until this match ends or can even add to the score to be able to win a landslide victory against Qatar, because we can see good statistics from Ecuador. Even though Qatar still excels in ball possession, the statistics on the attacks carried out by Ecuador are very influential in this match, and we can see from the results obtained by Ecuador.

this is a soccer game. both are on different levels and should meet in one game. it will be quite difficult for Qatar, considering they are in the same group as the Netherlands and Senegal which I don't think are weak either.
hopefully, Qatar can do better in the second half and other matches. Of course, the host didn't want to look too bad.

[Saidasun]

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.

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.

[Altryist]

Benzema's absence will deal a serious blow to France to retain the championship trophy, and add to the list of names of French stars who are missing this year's world cup in Qatar. without Benzema, it will obviously affect the strength and sharpness that France has. even so, actually France still has another center forward who can replace Karim Benzema, although not as sharp and as good as Karim Benzema. at least, Didier Descamps had a few options to get around this unfortunate circumstance. France still has several forward names that can be relied on, there are still Mbappe, Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and others.

Descamps has several formation options and other strategies, he can pair up two attackers up front, Mbappe can be combined with Giroud, with a 3-4-1-2 formation pattern, or Descamps can just use the formation he normally uses 4-3-3.
it's just that his job this time is not easy, he must ensure and optimize the performance of his troops.

If I understand correctly, Benzema's injury is not serious, and so far it is known for sure that he will miss the match with Australia, it is not yet clear about further matches. But his play at Real Madrid shows that he is not in the best shape now, so this will be a loss for France, but perhaps not critical. Mbappe is a great striker and Giroud is also pretty good, so French attacking line is fine.

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.

I already turned away from the match watching their weak attacks and defence. No doubt Ecuador are leading and I now think Qatar will hardly be able to get a point if they play like this. They are losing too much of possession easily and are having hard time facing Ecuador's attacks. Senegal and Netherlands have even better squad than Ecuador so I don't think Qatar will be able to get any points here. With 2-0 lead for Ecuador seems like pretty done deal for the first game now already as I don't expect Qatar to be back into the game.

Senegal vs Netherlands should be an interesting one tomorrow but Netherlands have too much of quality so I think Netherlands will easily beat them in tomorrow's fixture.

[DaNNy001]

Well as expected Ecuador are leading by 2 goals to nothing, the two nations aren't just the same level when it's comes to soccer,  Ecuador have shown their class and dominated the first in terms of game play and goals scored .

The host nation can only just buckle their backline and try to stop more goals from coming in, because it will be quiet shameful as the host in their first game to concede up to 4 goals

Well for me am so glad , I didn't miss out on the odd given to  Ecuador. After  seeing the over hype of the Qatar team , I knew they will be given a good odd, so i quickly placed a bet on them to win the game and they are doing so with ease.
I would say good luck to  Qatar cause they would really need it

The first game of the World Cup was completely one-sided in the first half. It can be said that Qatar could not go any kind of attacking for the opponent Ecuador. They almost finished the first half defending their goal. However, there is no opportunity to say anything good for those who supported Qatar in today's match. The result of the match went in the direction of Ecuador as predicted. E. Valencia excellent performance which is really worth watching.
