England has managed to score 5 goals against Iran so far ('73). This is a victory that most football fans have predicted. Even though Iran managed to score 1 goal, they are still find it difficult to catch up to the other 4 goals. I don't think there are any strong teams in Group B, and I'm sure England will have no problem getting 9 points in this group stage.

That is what I also tell those who think the Senegalese team revolves only around Sadio Mane. That is not true. For those who hope the team should be without him, they should also imagine that any of the opposing teams will be without their key players too. We must not wish someone ill luck because we want success for ourselves. Let every team be with their best players, we want to see entertaining football and not some one sided and disadvantaged game. Am eager to see their match with Netherlands.
It can be said that Mane is currently an icon for the Senegal national team, so if he is not there, doubts about this team will be very large.
But indeed in this case it is too naive to rely on Senegal only on Mane because there are still many players there that can be used even though my level of skepticism is still very large and now I may be quite doubtful that they can fight for position 2 in this group phase.

Sadio Mane might not be on that team, but Senegal has talented players who can advance the team to the next round even without him.

Ecuadorian football had a great start to its World Cup. At least we should expect a winning mentality on the field from Qatar, even though we know it won't go anywhere. They're playing utterly meaningless football. Qatar will likely not win or draw any matches during this World Cup if they continue to play like they did against Ecuador. Neither Netherlands nor Senegal have yet played Qatar. To get better results in their upcoming matches, Qatar's manager needs to work on his strikers' ability to work together.
Qatar national team coach, Felix Sanchez, admitted that the first match in the opening match brought considerable pressure to his team. for Qatar the match against Ecuador, as well as being their debut on the world cup stage. as I said before in some posts, Qatar has no experience in this world cup. they only benefit from being the home team, even though they looked mighty in the asian cup. but in reality in the opening match, they played under high pressure and found it difficult to keep up with Ecuador's game. and in the following match, not much is expected from the Qatar squad. they will meet tougher teams, namely, Senegal and the Netherlands.
for Ecuador, at least have had 3 points. however, Ecuador will struggle against the Netherlands. I am quite optimistic, the opportunity for the Netherlands to win the group is very large.
Qatar is the host country of the World Cup. But Qatar is not a very strong team in football. So it would be foolish to expect more from Qatar even if it is the host country. However, both Ecuador and Qatar played very well in today's match. If Ecuador can perform like this in the upcoming matches, I think they will be able to easily qualify for the next round.
Qatar is not a high-ranking team but as hosts, they definitely have some advantages. The crowd was definitely one of those advantages, and I think their fans must hope that their national team can achieve good results. Another advantage, Qatar National Team has been acclimatized to environmental conditions, where they are used to playing in sizzling weather. If you still remember, at the 2002 World Cup, South Korea as the host managed to surprise the world (though South Korea was not the favored team at that time).

We all expected Ecuador to win the match and the country won it, the South American countries are just good and Ecuador can not be compared with Qatar at all, if they play again and again, Ecuador would win over and over, they have better players with more strength and accuracies. About Qatar, being with other countries like Netherlands would make it difficult, Senegal is the best in Africa now too, it would makes things not easy for Qatar too, I think Qatar should just have the fun of hosting the world cup and nothing more because they are going not far.either Ecuador is not serious or what, if you see the game they should be able to add goals in the second half. but that didn't happen. seeing the statistics of the two teams is also somewhat strange. only 6 shots were made by Ecuador. this made me interested to see the match between Ecuador and the Netherlands.

Ecuador won by 2-0 goal against Qatar. Qatar was some pressure i Think they didn’t play their nature game.Qatar goal keeper performance were very poor. He didn’t do his best job.Ecuador played very well this world cup in opening match.I hope Qatar will be back their win site in next match.
A big congratulations to Ecuador for the massive victory they embraced from Qatar, because many people predicted for the favour of Qatar based on their appearance in the field but the match ended up 2-0 for the favour of Ecuador. If Ecuador can maintain this strategies they used to defeated Qatar to play their remaining matches, I believe they will definitely win this world cup to make their people happy, because they really displayed wonders in this match. I think, Qatar coach need to work on their strikers to learn how to work together to achieve goals, because they really missed many goals that could have made them to draw the match 2-2, but Ecuador embraced their opportunity that made them to won the match.

Ecuador won this match by 2 goals. I thought that Qatar will win this match. But Qatar did not perform well in this match. Qatar tried hard to score at the end of the game but did not score any goal. Qatar did not score any goal in this match. It is the failure of their openers. I think. However, Qatar will play well in the next match.

The level of Qatar is simply not up to World Cup standards.
The only reason they're there is because they're the hosting nation. Not a chance of qualifying to it.
On the other side, an incredible team such as Italy didn't manage to qualify.
I don't think Qatar will make any points in this world cup.

Qatar is the weakest team in all the world cup and they only qualified because they are the host, otherwise their players would be watching the world cup from their homes, so it is not surprising they lost against Ecuador, if I am honest I thought that at best they will get a draw against Ecuador or Senegal but now I think it is likely that they will just lose their 3 games, however I am sure that deep down they knew this so as long as they can give their best those players should consider they made a good job as they fulfilled a dream most of us will never reach.

Yeah, I don't see Qatar winning any matches in the world cup. They're OK, but the competition is way better.
Against Ecuador they only really had maybe one or two interesting shots, while Ecuador was basically dominating the whole time. And it should really have been 3 - 0, that cancelled initial goal was insane.
Ecuador scored 1 goal within 3 minutes but it was considered offside and it really surprised everyone, hopefully there will be no bribes in this match, of course many people bet on Ecuador of course and hope to win in this match, but it looks like the hosts are lucky
Now Ecuador has won 2 goals (should have been 3:D ) But indeed the first goal was annulled but this does not affect the current position because they are already quite favored with this 2 goal victory condition.Qatar remains in difficult condition because in any case they lost and Ecuador played comfortably for this first game.
For the first half maybe this will end with the score 0-2 for Ecuador but by looking at the possession now it is not impossible that Ecuador can add to the score in the second half later.
And failed to get point from ecuador making their chance to qualify for the next phase getting small , yet it's football where unexpected things often happened , wish the host get something rather had zero win at the end of the competition , it would be shameful.

2-0 is good enough for ecuador as an opening match. that proves that it doesn't even matter where you are playing as long as you have a good squad and you can win easily against another team.
Qater lose point. This trend may continue for the next match.
Qatar is the host country of the World Cup. But Qatar is not a very strong team in football. So it would be foolish to expect more from Qatar even if it is the host country. However, both Ecuador and Qatar played very well in today's match. If Ecuador can perform like this in the upcoming matches, I think they will be able to easily qualify for the next round.
It is a very tough game for Qatar. They are the hosts of the World Cup this time, so the expectations of their supporters must be quite high. I think that just made it a pressure which could affect their performance and even make them nervous during the match. While Ecuador played very well in this match. Even if they were a bit more composed in finishing the chances they had, I think they can win by more than 2 goals.
Every team will try to its best and will try to go in final. Every match will be interesting.
Ecuador we already know is much stronger than Qatar.Different people expressed different opinions here. The match between Qatar and Ecuador could be dramatic.But Qatar proved people's entire imagination wrong. They have presented the match in a very nice pleasant environment where there is no shadow of corruption.Qatar lost 2-0 in the first match.I hope that Qatar will do very well in the next match.
Ecuador did impressed everyone with spectacular performance in their 2 nil over the hosts. Qater have no business with football on the pitch, they don't have good players that play in top leagues in the world, not to talk of the players in their country team. Qater coach, Felix Sanchez admits that there was enough pressure on the host in the borh halves. Moreover they lost 3 points and they might be looking forward to get their first winning in the world cup.
