Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

[Mark]

[Stadt]

Qatar haven’t naturalised as many Brazilians as I thought they would. They might nick a draw against Ecuador but they’re proper shit.

 

Netherlands will piss it, Senegal second.

[Super_horns]

Sadio Mane reportedly out of the world cup after picking up an injury playing for Bayern Munich last night.

 

Massive blow for Senegal.

[Lionator]

Would be very surprising if Netherlands don’t go 3/3 in this group. The rest are really not up to much. Despite Qatar’s good Asia Cup showing in 2019, they seem to have regressed since. 

[StanSP]

That's quite some rise! 

 

 

[Brainy]

Part of me thinks seeing Ecuador 6/5 to win next week is too good to be true, the other part of me wonders whether the result has already been decided

[Blue ROI]

Its hard to think of a less interesting group at this World Cup,

 

Or any other World Cup even.

It was pretty interesting before Mane's injury 

[Finnegan]

Must be hands down the most forgettable first game of any world cup ever. 

 

Who's going to bother honestly?

I probably will, in the hope that Ecuador absolutely batter them.

Guess they will probably look for Sarr to step up and perform .

 

Good luck with that !

It's the most memorable for me, predominantly because I can't remember the opening game of any other World Cup

Are Qatar any good? And by that I mean..are they so poor this should be an easy win for Ecuador? 

[Amin]

Qatar got to the semi's of last year's CONCACAF Gold Cup, winning their group and eventually losing 1-0 to USA. With home advantage, I think they have an outside shot at advancing. 

[Corky]

Ecuador's national anthem is a belter, though

It’s a more intriguing match up than 2018.

Always disappointing when excellent players are out of the world cup.

 

Still getting over Pires in 2002.

Would feel for him if he wasn’t such a diving c*nt.

Ecuador players on Sunday night after their 1-0 loss.

 

[Wymsey]

Quite an outburst..
