I see some Ecuadorian girls but are there Qatari ladies present?

There are some dotted about. But no women, or children, in the one block where everyone is wearing a Qatari shirt unlike the rest of the stadium. Orchestrated or not?
 
You do wonder when a host nation goes out early (and it is looking like it from this performance) what the Qatari powers-that-be will be considering this competition to be - an abject failure with global criticism of migrant rights out in the wash too.

this is just for qatar to flex over saudia arabia
tiny qatar gets a world cup while saudia arabia doesn't
 
Has the Qatari coach said at half-time 'now go out and play like Hull City'?

Play out from the back.

Pass the ball about a foot away from where the player ideally would want it.

Concede possession before you cross the halfway line.

I've not watched any of it, but apparently one of the commentators has said that Qatar look like they're going to be the World Cup Whipping boys. <laugh>
 
His knee according to the analysts, all 1/2 cm of his patella !

weird that they showed the ball landing near the "offside" foot. it was when the ball was kicked that the offside was judged, but since fifa effed up the offside rule nobody understands the new version, least of all me. fifa are and have always been excremental.
 
Ecuador are going to regret not scoring more than this. In fact they don’t look much at all either. Holland and Senegal are going to put 5 past this lot at least.
