I wonder how much it will hurt ratings that people already have an excuse to drink alcohol in the morning in the fall.

Same group as England, Wales, and Iran. England and the US play each other on Black Friday.

Get the 2nd US jersey, the blue one. The white regular one sucks.

Gee whiz, I'm beginning to think maybe Qatar wasn't a good choice.

for sure, not on sunday. ecuador is +120, qatar a +220 and a draw +200. over/under 2 at -110. the home side with their fans in pajamas and slippers, but i'm leaning ecuador for the win. if the over/under goes to 1.5, have to play the over.

In a completely predictable move, Qatar switched at the last minute to not allow any beer sales inside the stadiums (VIP booths excluded of course). What other things will they do now it’s too late for FIFA to do anything about it. Also plenty of rumors the fix is in for the hosts against Ecuador.

Over under 6 penalty kicks for Qatar, take the over.

6500 immigrant workers allegedly killed in the construction. Despicable all the way around.

But hey, arms sales to that part of the world lets MANY ignore that while counting the money.

Or the dull ass Formula 1, LIV golf and now this travesty.

hmmm, it's an all-italian referee/video crew. my own impressions through the years are that spanish referees are the biggest homers (cl and intl) while italians are close to 50-50, a notch below german refs. the few times i've seen qatar play don't give me confidence that they can generate attacks into their opponents' penalty area for penalty shouts. then again, i don't believe ecuador has any world-class defenders.

i can see qatar looking good for awhile on pure adrenaline, after that...i see them making colossal defensive error(s), gifting ecuador a goal or two. i see that the qatar NT has played almost 24 matches this year, a huge boost in intl. football. most other nations might play 5 or 6 a given year. just don't feel they have the horses. going to play ecuador.

Interesting. I'm going the opposite. Got Qatar at +238 on wynnbet for an outright win.

Qatar are the reigning Asian champions from 2019. They beat Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Japan in that tournament. That’s not really recent anymore, but it’s not nothing. They beat Panama, Honduras, and Nicaragua in friendlies this year. They may not be good, but I’d be surprised if they’re embarrassingly bad at home.

The other thing to remember in the first match of group play in the World Cup is a lot of conservative play. I'd be more inclined to bet unders.

i would take their nearly 2 dozen intl. matches, just in 2022 - as a huge plus.

i don't really rate asian football and one can make the argument that ecuador plays 2 matches x brazil, argentina, uruguay, colombia, chile, peru..etc...etc. and that confederation is arguably the most difficult to qualify to a w.c.

i believe you are correct, they won't embarrass themselves, even if they lose 2-0, 3-0. i expect the determination and energy to be there, just thinking they will make a tragic defensive error at one or more points in the match. we'll see.
