November 28, 20223 yr Elimination Day 1 Groups A and B 10:00 AM Eastern/9:00 AM Central Group A Fox Sports 1: VS Fox: VS The current group A standings: Rnk Country Pts GD GF GA 1. Netherlands 4 2 3 1 2. Ecuador 4 2 3 1 3. Senegal 3 0 3 3 4. Qatar 0 -4 1 5 The Netherlands should advance, Ecuador and Senegal play for the other place.
November 28, 20223 yr Torn between Ecuador and Senegal. Going to have to think about who to support on this one.
November 29, 20223 yr I think Senegal beat Ecuador and advances. LOL at Qatar spending all that money just to lose and get humiliated. We can all agree that Qatar is the Texas A&M of the tournament.

November 29, 20223 yr In honor of having an aggy school in Doha and for spending multi millions just to be the first eliminated, Qatar is wearing new honorary uniforms today.

Obviously. Wouldn't FOX want the better game on network? I guess since Qatar is the host country they get to be on network. I wonder if they can flex other match day 3 games or if every game was decided ahead of time.
November 29, 20223 yr I was assuming that the casual international soccer fan knows The Netherlands when compared to Ecuador and Senegal that's my only guess. Vamos Ecuador Edited November 29, 20223 yr by SimonBolivar

That is outstanding! If Qatar wins today(and that's a HUGE IF) will their fans rush the field?
November 29, 20223 yr The Dutch are starting their most attacking lineup with Depay and Gakpo up front and De Roon in MF.

November 29, 20223 yr I'm seeing -115 for 3+ goals for the Dutch. Think I'm going to take that for sure. Only getting +780 for a 4-0 exact score final, but I think it could be 5-0 or 6-1 type score, and my site doesn't even have those scores available.
November 29, 20223 yr Author For the most part it is going to be Netherlands and either Ecuador or Senegal. Here are the rough permeutations: Netherlands - advance with a result against Qatar. Ecuador - advance with a draw or win vs Senegal. Can advance with a loss and Netherlands loss and getting ahead on tiebreakers (currently down on fair play points) Senegal - advance with a win vs Ecuador. Can advance with a draw and Netherlands loss and making up GD

November 29, 20223 yr Author Ecuador appears to be ok to defend and counter. They have sprung a few counter attacks that have given them some scoring chances. Nothing yet.
November 29, 20223 yr Author No real shock there. They are probably going to fuck Qatar good to make sure they win the group.

November 29, 20223 yr Author Just a reminder Groups A&B are matched up. Winner A vs 2nd B is in the top bracket Winner B vs 2nd A is in the bottom bracket.

There was an article in the NYT about this. Qatar paid ultras from the Arab countries like Lebanon to be their fans. Pathetic that FIFA picked a country with no soccer tradition to be host of the world’s most important sporting event. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/28/sports/soccer/world-cup-fans-qatar-ultras.html
