Guest Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I can't decide if this is a piss easy group for Netherlands or if they're going to get absolutely caught out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Qatar v Ecuador ffs what an absolute barnstormer of a game to kick off a World Cup Edited November 16, 2022 by Bizza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Hoping Ecuador win like 15-0 and they cancel the whole tournament or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just seen Ecuador's last three results were all 0-0. Should be a cracker. Actually really curious to see Qatar tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) That Linfield result is a bit of a shocker but it is just a friendly and they've had some decent results over the last few years in competitive games. Winning the Asian Cup and getting to the semis of the Gold Cup. They weren't totally battered in the Copa America either the other year with a draw and a couple of narrow defeats. Think the biggest likelihood is they'll simply be physically overwhelmed by all three teams in the group. Unless they're sufficiently juiced up like the Russians were.

toon25 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I've never not looked forward to an opening WC game as much as this. Absolute fucking farce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love either a 1 0 Qatar win (goal in the second half) or for them to get trounced and spit the dummy out and cancel the whole tournament, close all the stadiums and chuck everyone out of their accommodation. I'm convinced their interest will be zero once the Qatarie team is out, to go out with 3 good hiding would be glorious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia v Saudi Arabia four years ago wasn’t exactly one to watch. Which is why I didn’t. Nor South Africa v Mexico in 2010. I didn’t watch that either. I don’t think I’ve watched all the games (well, obviously other than the final group games which are played concurrently) since 1998. Didn’t bother getting up for England v Nigeria in 2002.

Billy Warthog Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have a strong feeling that this will be unbelievably shit, but I'll go for a 1-0 Ecuador win. Senegal v Netherlands... much better prospect. Senegal will be used to the conditions more than the Dutch but is it enough? 2-1 Netherlands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Going to miss the start of this as I've family.shit to do. Not sure if I'm annoyed or relieved. Obviously putting on a not happy and hard done to face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Seems like Fifa has messed up with tickets for the opener. Loads of tickets for a section went for sale roughly an hour ago. Risk of a whole section behind the goal being empty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have a sneaking suspicion that circumstance will conspire for Qatar to somehow qualify from their group to be honest, hope I'm wrong and would prefer to see them get hammered by Ecuador now but Ecuador don't really do hammerings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeah that's obviously the logical conclusion but this is not really a logical World Cup and I can honestly see it happening, they're going to be best acclimatised to conditions and are pretty much guaranteed sympathetic referees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I notice they’ve kept Micah Richards away from this game given his propensity to respond to anything with fits of laughter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
