The opening ceremony is probably going to be spectacular, the crowds are going to be there supporting their local team, but honestly, I don't think Qatar has any chances of winning against Ecuador.
In my mind the best result they can get would be a draw, probably 0 - 0.
Remember the match between Cameroon and Argentina in 1990 (and that was despite two of the Cameroon players getting red card in the second half)? Or the match between Senegal and France in 2002? Or do you remember Hristo Stoichkov's Bulgaria defeating Germany in 1994? Upsets always happen during the world cup. Ecuador is not among the top-10 teams and there is a chance that Qatar may manage to defeat them. But the chances are low. At least on paper, Qatar is much weaker than Ecuador.
Well for Andie it is a secret that the opening ceremony will be on another level, I look forward to having the privilege of seeing it, although it would be much more exciting to see it there in Qatar on the same stage, the same stadium, some who will have that joy they will enjoy it to the fullest, I also wanted to point out that the opening matches are the prelude to everything, people get excited and Qatar is a team that can win this World Cup and go far, Ecuador is not very good, sometimes when they say deflection They do it in a great way, I think this match will be good, although to be honest I would like a victory for Qatar.
For me, Spain scores high on several aspects. They have a number of very experienced players. They are not overdependent on individual players (such as Ronaldo for Portugal and Lukaku for Belgium). And their team bonding is very good (unlike the case with teams such as France). And since Spain is a Mediterranean country, I am sure that it will be easier for them to adjust to climate conditions in Qatar, when compared to the other European teams. Now the question comes to team balance. This is my concern. Forward is not as strong as midfield or defense.
Surely big plus point for few top European countries because they can't depend on one or two players they have enough power and skilled players those can do much better in this event because they have enough experience in clubs which are going to help them in this event as well.
As team event and have too many quality players are surely big advantage for many countries instead of few countries those depend on just one or two players just because of this we are sure teams like Spain, Germany, France and Brazil can do much better than expectations they are coming with their squads and have nothing with just one or two players.
Of all the countries that are for the World Cup, Spain had not sounded much to me either, we all talk about Brazil, Germany, but it is true, for now in all of Europe the champions are the Spanish through Real Madrid and that is one of things to take into account.
Of course, I liked Spain a lot when Xavi was there, Iker Casillas, among others who were from that time, for me now I don't know how good the boys are, I haven't seen Spain play much but they must be playing very well, it will be interesting to see this team play against all the others. Spain can very well reach the final, I think they have it all.
