The stadium is impressive but the quality of the opening match is pretty bad. Should be 6:0 Ecuador win by the end...

Qatar should be playing long balls into the box and go down by every contact

seem like the best strategy 

Nice double f**k-up there from Sarmiento

Turns out he was born on the same day as Ireland were knocked out on penalties by Spain at the 2002 World Cup.

There’s an image here on the BBC Football page, underneath the heading “Fifa World Cup build-up” - sorry I can’t get the image imported so follow the link - that reminds me of nothing more than David Bowie’s Ever Encircling Skeletal Family bowing down at the feet of the Great Golden God of Greed.

Supposed to be microphones, check it out. Evil looking things.

Scenario.

England lose to Wales and USA and go out in the group stages.

Southgate sacked.

EPL restarts.

Chelsea continue to lose/draw and look hopeless.

Mid January Potter sacked.

End of January Potter given England job.

End of January Jose Mourinho is reinstalled Chelsea manager for an unprecedented third stint.

You just know that Boehly would appoint Southgate and not Mourinho though LOL

So Qatar lost their game, becoming the first host nation to do so for their opener.

Just a rich man's Gibraltar...

What a very apt first game for such a sh*tty world cup. VAR nonsense, home country is utterly garbage even with a majority of non local players drafted in, half arsed crowd, most of whom left after 60 minutes, other than the embarrassingly cringey paid for actors. Shambolic.

Benzema out for it which means it’s time for one man to step up again…

Why oh why did we let him leave ???? 😪😪

We’ll all be saying the same thing about Pulisic soon 

 

Nice to see some freedom of religion in that awful place for once

Good luck with Maguire and Shaw in defence

Will be interesting to see how Mount and Sterling play today in this England team.

Yeah, surprised Foden is not starting. Come on England!

How long will it take for Maguire to give away a penalty or make a error leading to a goal? I reckon 40 min 

 

Taremi should have a blast today 

you do have a beautiful national anthem, I’ll give you that

Fairly sure Mount and Rice both sang 'Queen' instead of 'King' during the national anthem there, albeit with a corrective over-enunciated 'him' by Rice in the second verse.

Maguire reaching new peaks of gormlessness, a true Englishman.

Declan Rice has pointed to a teammate what must be double figure times already, awkward!

He's auditioning for a future vacancy at SW6.

Is he going to continue? That’s brave and a bit insane 

looks like he broke his nose 

I would right away shoot from every distance
