[Football] Qatar v Ecuador

[A1X]

Good three points for the lads after the result last week

[Weststander]

Lashings for the Qatari coach and players.

The stadium emptied quicker than East Stand Lower.

 

[Mackenzie]

We’re top of the league!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good start. Win. No injuries. Qatar shown up for the embarrassment it is. All three players from England’s gay capital involved :safeway:

 

[ken tiler]

I never knew we'd been pronouncing his name wrong all this time......

I remember when he first started getting into the Albion team fans calling him Sacramento but you’d think a commentator on National TV should get it right.

 

[Triggaaar]

What a dud of a game and dud of an atmosphere. Ground empty from the 80th min.

what a farce

I know. Not at all what I expected when they announced that the World Cup was going to such a football mad nation

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Good first half, more average in the second but nice to see our third player come on. How it wasn’t 3-0 I’ll never understand.

Most importantly though no injuries. Shame about the yellow but going to happen.

 

[Durlston]

Finished. Three shots on target all game. Two absolute dog shit teams that will be eliminated in the group stage by livescore.com's opinion.

Boycott match #1 over with.

Qatar - you're f***ing shit! I hope the tournament's a complete disaster. Do f*** off.

 

[Justice]

Sarmiento has something about him. Looks like a very confident boy.
He will achieve but I suspect not at the Albion.

You obviously didn’t go to the Arsenal game

 

[Wrong-Direction]

After all that time, effort, money and death going into building those stadiums and the Arabs stream out on the hour..

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Qatar didnt have a shot on target, think they had a total of 2 shots in total?

They looks like a league 2 side.

BEEB making excuses for parts of the stadium emptying from 45/60 mins….grief the play might have been dull…but only 2/0 down….one goal and they r back in it ..the white robes are just not interested

 

[lawros left foot]

The Qatar effort just before halftime, I don’t know if it’s been mentioned on this thread as I haven’t read all of it. It’s offside, not slightly, it’s massively offside, and not one pundit has mentioned it.

It would have been ruled out by VAR, ( you would hope, anyway) so, it wasn’t really a chance, was it?

Don't be silly - of course it wouldn't have been disallowed by VAR! Only surprise was they didn't check to see if it could have been deemed to have actually gone in!

 

[kevo]

Goodness me Dion is tedious….

Seriously, could the BBC not do any better?

He is awful.

[Marty___Mcfly]

These auto offsides- they at least have to show a freeze frame of the game with the lines on. Showing a CGI image of two CGI players does not in any way demonstrate offside in the real world does it.
