Amazed even you're watching that game, Ecuador and Senegal has started off with all the promise of being entertaining.

Obvious handball on purpose isn't a yellow card. New rules apparently.

Just wondering if they can mess this up somehow.

dutch are there for the taking as soon as a team that can play football go against them.

Yep, we're lucky it's going to be Iran or the US next match. Even that will be tough.

Gakpo now worth 100 million? ManU will pay it anyway.

Bloody hell, I thought that after the Ecuador game I'd seen the worse. Van Gaal: hold my beer.

[Airlick]

Ecuador needs to get their game up, pretty disappointing this half. Senegal came to play, though.

They intentionally put Qatar into a weak group.
Yet it still lost 3 games in a row.

It's a solid group.
It's just that Qatar has no business playing a world cup

Same as when they were invited to the Copa America 2019 and won exactly 0 games

Qatar would have gotten rekt in any group. There's only a couple of teams in the tournament they could potentially beat or draw against and each of these would still be a big upset. They just don't belong at this level.

[MCMLXXXII]

Senegal is the Africa cup winner, Ecuador are champions in draws vs stronger teams. Dutch aren't the weakest European squad. There are plenty of weaker countries they could have been in a group with.

Host nations always get "weak groups" as host nations get a first seed no matter their FIFA rankings, this is not a Qatar only thing.

Good to see Senegal is through.

Was hoping Ecuador to at least reach the next round to be honest

Good thing I don't bet on stuff

[eschatological]

I always cheer for (most) of the African teams, good to see Senegal through.

Agree, it's always nice when it's not 16-18 SA and European teams in the next round, crossing my fingers for Japan !

[Xanjori]

I think Id have always tipped Senegal to go through ahead of Ecuador in this group, but they did make it a bit close.

with mane maybe.

oh well ITS COMING HOME LADS.

genuinely not heard the song out and about yet weird WC

[Makabreska]

So.

Whales or Englando?

[Xanjori]

Surely even England cant fuck this one up.

[Pozz]

So.

Whales or Englando?

Wales ought to come out giving their everything, so game could be good. They have shown their skill ceiling exceptionally low though.

Personally I am watching Iran - USA.
