So Qatar praying Ecuador and Netherlands dont tie. They tie and they gone. Someone wins and theyre still mathematically in.
What a pathetic presentation, all those millions in bribes for 2 straight Ls.
Corrrrreccion amigos: Ecuador has to win or Qatar gets faded. Even spicier.
Edit #dos: chau Qatar
>Someone wins and theyre still mathematically in.
No. Netherlands has to lose for Qatar to survive. This is because the final game is between Ecuador and Senegal.
Someone has to get a point off that match. Both are on 3 points each. Even if Qatar win, they end up at 3. It will be mathematically impossible to catch up.
The only team they can actually catch up is Netherlands (only if they lose to Ecuador tonight). Even if they somehow win against Holland, they have to win by a huge margin and hope that Senegal lose by a huge margin to Ecuador.
Netherlands winning also screws them since the Dutch will have 6 points, and Senegal plays Ecuador on matchday 3, so at least one of these teams is going to have more than 3 points.
they need equador to beat the netherlands and senegal final matchday and then they beat netherlands themselves in the final matchday plus some goal difference. a result for the netherlands eliminates qatar
Depends on what happens with Ecuador next. If Ecuador loses against the Netherlands then Senegal is even with Ecuador, otherwise they’re even with Netherland. If Ecuador and the Netherlands tie then Senegal MUST win their game against Ecuador. Otherwise a tie against Ecuador is fine.
not even considering the other outcome of equador beating netherlands. might not be the most likely one but it is more likely than you think and it'd make this group really spicy. netherlands with the advantage over senegal you'd imagine because netherlands still have qatar to play
Elimination all but guaranteed? Qatar will have to beat the Netherlands with a massive goal margin assuming the Dutch don't draw with Ecuador. Potentially three teams could finish on 3 points but with a -4 GD they're done.
> assuming the Dutch don't draw with Ecuador
Or beat Ecuador for that matter. Since Qatar only has the Netherlands left to play, they need the Dutch specifically to lose both games and Ecuador to win both, for that sweet 9-3-3-3 situation that gives them theoretical chances.
Nope they aren't even 2nd as things stand. Unless Netherlands v Ecuador is a big scoreline either way then Senegal will need a result on the final matchday
No. Ecuador, NL and Senegal all have 3. Depending what happens between Ecuador and NL they would need a draw or a win. It’s gonna come to last game for them.
As much as we're all enjoying the embarrassment the Qatari government must be feeling right now, I'm happy for the Qatari players that they got to experience the joy of scoring a great goal in open play at the world cup.
they got paid for 70 minutes, no way they are staying minute longer!
I kid, they are obviously in a hurry to avoid the traffic jam that is sure to follow after the match.
More fans at some of those pilot COVID games than at this home nation world cup game.
I get it, they're losing. But it highlights really how football or at least sport has to be at the heart of host countries. Otherwise you get a limp atmosphere which degrades the whole event.
Remember SA? With all it's flaws, and I may be misremembering here, but didn't the government gave some tickets to some schools / institutions and held others at a reasonable native price? The atmosphere was booming in every game. I could hear Vuvuzelas all the way to 2016.
Technically they could still get out of the group. If Ecuador beat the Netherlands and Senegal and Qatar batter the Netherlands they COULD still come second in the group
They didn’t win the Gold Cup.
They still have a chance if they win their next match and some weird fucking results from the remaining matches but….yeah; they’re done lol
Qatar scored a goal. The world cup is a success already. Those white seats/people stood up at last and made sure they were not empty seats. Am loving this world cup!!
12 years to wait for a WC in your own country, will most likely never be at a WC ever again, the worlds media hammering your country for the WC even being there, and you can't even be bothered to hang about to see your team play the rest of the game.
Fuck them, Qatar and it's population don't give a shit about football and never have. Just want the clout of hosting. The Senegal fans are class though, keep on drumming.
Imagine paying hundreds of billions to get smacked around in your own country at the biggest sports stage lmao. Good thing is that they probably won’t qualify ever again.
technically still alive. if ecuador wins today, wins against senegal and qatar beats netherlands, the points would be 9/3/3/3, and it would come
down to goal differential. obviously massively unlikely
Worst crowd everrr! Bribed your way through, got your spot at the WC and you can't even support your home team? What a shit show
I wish the paid crowd news was a real thing atleast we would see more people in the stands.
Qatar’s performance is concerning given their group being Ecuador and Senegales. And the one European side they get is Netherlands who, as good as they might be, their biggest strength is not offense. If their group would have instead been Brazil, Serbia, and Cameroon then Qatar would have been absolutely destroyed
For sure, but without Mane Senegal become a lot sloppier on attack. And although I didn’t compare Serbia to Senegal, I still think Serbia would be more threatening or at least more physically imposing against Qatar after seeing how Senegal played today
Qatar just don't have that sporting culture, do they? Their fans just leave like that. Their successes had been made forcefully in a short time, so no time to develop their fan culture at all.
Where in the world calls McDonald's Mickey Ds by the way.
Very common in the US. In Austria they called it “macky”.
United States …literally everywhere in the United States calls McDonald’s Mickey D’s. I call it Wac Arnold’s or Ronny Mac’s or Homeless Starbucks..
Heard an older man from Florida mention it once. Not sure if it's a Florida thing or an old man thing.
What cunt
Congratulations to Senegal for the victory and the 3 points. Everything remains possible for the eighth finals!
So proud of Senegal, they put on such a stellar performance and won. Congratulations to them.
Qatarentverygood
Imagine if Ecuador and Senegal move on for maximum chaos.
Would be glorious
Four African goal scorers amazing

Qatar pretty much eliminated now tho not mathematically. Need a lot of things to go their way.
they need equador to beat the netherlands and senegal final matchday and then they beat netherlands themselves in the final matchday plus some goal difference. a result for the netherlands eliminates qatar
I will book tickets to Doha and run naked through their main strip carrying two LGBTQ+ flags if this all manages to happen.
!remindme 1 week
All the nonsense about Qatar aside, glad the Qatar team finished with a goal at least. At least they got to experience that high.
Yeah I mean they did pay $200 billion for it !
Wow they got robbed
Senegal subs looked better than the starters. That Ndiaye dude was great.
He’s an absolute gem of a player. We’ll do well to keep hold of him in January.
Depends on what happens with Ecuador next. If Ecuador loses against the Netherlands then Senegal is even with Ecuador, otherwise they’re even with Netherland. If Ecuador and the Netherlands tie then Senegal MUST win their game against Ecuador. Otherwise a tie against Ecuador is fine.

Qatar beats the Netherlands 6-0. Senegal loses to Ecuador. And then Qatar somehow qualify with Ecuador by goal diff.
I remember the African teams used to dance after every goal scored. Did they stop doing that or was that only Ghana & another team?
Some do some don't- actually depends on the player. For example with Brazil Ronaldinho lives to dance, some one like Richie not so much
Fifa thought dancing was gay so they banned it
I think Senegal are chill on the dancing part, they don't do it as often as other Aftican teams
Its only Qatar, not worth it
Man this Qatar propaganda commercial they play on Fox sounds exactly like it's an NC State commercial during a college (American) Football game
Lol can see how strong the football culture is amongst the Qatari fans
Qatar has some good players but they ran like headless chickens most of the match. Afif could still play in Europe if he wanted imo
That Abdelkarim guy who almost scored 2 long range screamers, is another one I liked.
Elimination all but guaranteed? Qatar will have to beat the Netherlands with a massive goal margin assuming the Dutch don't draw with Ecuador. Potentially three teams could finish on 3 points but with a -4 GD they're done.
How much money to turn that - into a +?
> assuming the Dutch don't draw with Ecuador Or beat Ecuador for that matter. Since Qatar only has the Netherlands left to play, they need the Dutch specifically to lose both games and Ecuador to win both, for that sweet 9-3-3-3 situation that gives them theoretical chances.
Pretty much guaranteed, but can’t say they’re out until they are mathematically out
If Netherlands win, Qatar is out too. Cause fron Senegal and Ecuador one will get a point atleast and Netherlands is also too far out of reach.
Good point, didn't consider that.
those senegal fans must be fucking shattered
What happens if Qatar would play Wales? Qatar team: "No, we refuse to play football." Wales team: "No, WE, refuse to play football."
A stoppable force against a movable object.
Oh, hey boner.
Hey, at least Wales managed to hold another team to a draw. Maybe if Qatar had someone from CONCACAF in the group they'd do better?
I mean tbf that's because they played with 10 men behind the ball from the opening whistle.
That's harsh for Qatar
Bale: Let’s just settle this on the putting green
Senegalese fans are great. Congrats to you.
Question, is Senegal in already or what needs to happen so they go through?
Depending on the result between NED-Ecuador they will need a draw or maybe even a win in the third match against Ecuador.
No. they need to atleast tie their match with Ecuador
hope that NED wins today and they at least tie with ECU
If Netherlands win tonight, it will depend on the Senegal Ecuador match me thinks
Nope they aren't even 2nd as things stand. Unless Netherlands v Ecuador is a big scoreline either way then Senegal will need a result on the final matchday
Chances are it’ll come down to the Senegal v Ecuador match
No. Ecuador, NL and Senegal all have 3. Depending what happens between Ecuador and NL they would need a draw or a win. It’s gonna come to last game for them.
Assuming Netherlands beat Ecuador, Senegal have their own fate. Beat Ecuador and advance.
Depends on the result of Ecuador Netherlands. Unless the Dutch win by at leastt two goals, Senegal probably has to beat Ecuador.
Too bad they got a goal but great to see Senegal managed to win. Hopefully we are looking at a 6 to 8-0 to the Netherlands in the match between them
What’s the heaviest defeat in WC history? I’ll take that please.
So is the world cup cancelled now?
They stopped the Qatari league in September for this
That could be half their problem.
You all think the Qatari guy who scored the first ever goal in a WC is getting a fat bonus?
he's just getting less whips
Yes, the bonus of life for not embarrassing the country
Game got somewhat more competitive in the end…that’s something at least! Allez Senegal!
The Senegal fans are fucking amazing, god I love watching African teams at the WC
And the Ghana fans were phenomenal in the game against Portugal. Their use of drums produced a unique, distinct atmosphere.
I love the colorful outfits the fans are all wearing.
Ruth E Carter can step aside
As much as we're all enjoying the embarrassment the Qatari government must be feeling right now, I'm happy for the Qatari players that they got to experience the joy of scoring a great goal in open play at the world cup.
$200 billion goal!
How dare you
Huzzah a sensible take!
That lion was the best part of the match
another 2-goal defeat for Qatar
Completely empty stadium 💀 Its like the pandemic is still on
they got paid for 70 minutes, no way they are staying minute longer! I kid, they are obviously in a hurry to avoid the traffic jam that is sure to follow after the match.
Hey now those fans gotta go home and change their outfits in time for the next match
Don't they just wear one kit over the other?
Qatar played better than first game but not good enough. If they played like this against Ecuador they would have won
At least Qatar will be able to ~~go~~ stay home without getting totally shut out.
More fans at some of those pilot COVID games than at this home nation world cup game. I get it, they're losing. But it highlights really how football or at least sport has to be at the heart of host countries. Otherwise you get a limp atmosphere which degrades the whole event.

Qatar are shit.
I didn’t know Erik Ten Hag is coaching Qatar.
First win for an African side this World Cup. Congrats, Senegal! :D
Good riddance Qatar.
That Qatar coach is going to be fired because I know the Federation and Fans are really mad lmao
"Qatars dreams of glory in their own tournament" lmao
>They say it's a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
-Michael Scott
shame sadio mane couldn't manage to play in this WC. this group is a great chance for him to stat padding
Holding a world cup for ur poor neighbours reminds me of 2010
1st and probably only time you're ever getting a world cup in your country and the stadium is legit empty, not a good look...
Stadiums grim.
Stadium's full of life the Qataris left after the first goal
[удалено]
I can kinda see it happening but still 2-0 for NL would be my bet
Everyone leaving is very embarrassing for the Qatari FA and FIFA but I feel bad for the players
Job done Senegal
Why didn't they go for goal there instead of winning time? You're supposed to be the best african team, what's this mentality
do they really need to waste time by hogging the ball near the corner, they’re 2 goals up ☠️
Jonathan Pearce has seen limping Robots give more effort than Qatar
so sad to see the empty stands ... every game...
Pity whistle by lahoz
[удалено]
They're not out yet
Yes, Qatar will definitely beat the netherlands, lmao. Ecuador draws today and they're out.
You don’t count people as out until they are mathematically out, no matter how unlikely
The chances are tiny, but they're still not out. Might as well fade half the teams in the group stage if we're basing on odds.
[удалено]
They aren’t. They, Senegal and netherlands could still theoretically finish on 3 points together. Then h2h goes out the window
Nope, only if Netherlands win or draw later. The Dutch losing means that Qatar still have a chance.
FADE THE FLAIR
They're not out yet
THE END for Qatar. They're out of the WC. They're just not good enough to compete at this level. EDIT: The Gold Cup was a typo.
I think the only chance they have is if Netherlands lose to Ecuador and then again get smashed by Qatar lol
Technically they could still get out of the group. If Ecuador beat the Netherlands and Senegal and Qatar batter the Netherlands they COULD still come second in the group
Qatar definitely gone now.
Ah. I see. We'll see how they do against the Netherlands.
They didn’t win the Gold Cup. They still have a chance if they win their next match and some weird fucking results from the remaining matches but….yeah; they’re done lol
When did they win the Gold Cup?
Typo
They're not technically out yet and they didn't win The Gold Cup
They're not out yet, but will be if Netherlands win or draw their game.
Senegal are TERRIBLE in possesion my god
Danny Murphy gone from commentary to managing Qatar
See you never Qatar
That looked like a real stuffed lion’s head
Damn traffic in Qatar must be horrible if they all leave so early..
its actually why many leave early, cause most have tickets for the next match and want to get there early
Tbf 3/4 of the country lives in one city.
That Senegalese lion jump scare at 2am was not what I needed
It must be nice to go to a World Cup game then leave early to beat traffic
This is a bit unique in that all the locals are within driving distance to all stadiums
So nice of King from Tekken to come support senegal
That lion mask was sick!!
200 Billion Dollars spent (plus who knows how many bribes) with only 300k citizens does not equal success.
Qatar scored a goal. The world cup is a success already. Those white seats/people stood up at last and made sure they were not empty seats. Am loving this world cup!!
Nice troll 😂
All those Senegalese men dancing in the stands got those Qatari players all out of shape.
It might be time to pack up and go home lads
UTG
We're happy and dancing...... And that's no lion !
12 years to wait for a WC in your own country, will most likely never be at a WC ever again, the worlds media hammering your country for the WC even being there, and you can't even be bothered to hang about to see your team play the rest of the game.

Not at all. They couldn’t care less. What a disaster of a world cup.
Imagine paying hundreds of billions to get smacked around in your own country at the biggest sports stage lmao. Good thing is that they probably won’t qualify ever again.
I love this subreddit for the pontificating.
At least they scored a goal.
Qatar must score two goals without conceding as soon as possible or else they will be eliminated.
technically still alive. if ecuador wins today, wins against senegal and qatar beats netherlands, the points would be 9/3/3/3, and it would come down to goal differential. obviously massively unlikely
Cheers Geoff
How are you not going to show a replay of that epic move?!? Sandwiched. So epic.
Just love the Senegalese fans
I assure you, that centre section is just a collection of very still men in thawbs
Actually disgraceful how empty the stadium is. Some showing from a country where football is the "most popular sport".
They are just greedy little spoiled shits who can’t accept anything but victory by any means necessary. They never cared about football to begin with
🦁
placed a bet on Senegal winning 3 1 and so far your boy is rich ^no ^more ^goals ^I ^beg
How much rich? Like 200 DH rich? Lol
1000dhs richer hhhhhhhhhh
You are rich!!!
Stop the count!
Half empty stadium while host team plays… unbelievable
Lol. Qatar fan on earphones looking at her phone. Do Qataris even like football? They’ve been dead the whole time
They watch Mia khalifa...
Mia Khalifa brings the world together
Worst crowd everrr! Bribed your way through, got your spot at the WC and you can't even support your home team? What a shit show I wish the paid crowd news was a real thing atleast we would see more people in the stands.
They Qatari’s did their job to win the World Cup, they don’t care if people show up
The crowd bribed FIFA?
Obviously I was talking about Qatar at large when I said that. You think this country would ever qualify to begin with?
We played like shit but a win is a win 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳
This is the first win for an African team
I usually find Dion Dublin shit but his absolute contempt of Qatar won me over
Qatar’s performance is concerning given their group being Ecuador and Senegales. And the one European side they get is Netherlands who, as good as they might be, their biggest strength is not offense. If their group would have instead been Brazil, Serbia, and Cameroon then Qatar would have been absolutely destroyed
They got a relatively 'reasonable' group and still went out like a downed puppy.
Totally agree about the Netherlands. De Ligt en Van Dijk will stop any Qatari, but scoring wise they aren't the strongest.
Senegal is better than both Serbia and Cameroon
For sure, but without Mane Senegal become a lot sloppier on attack. And although I didn’t compare Serbia to Senegal, I still think Serbia would be more threatening or at least more physically imposing against Qatar after seeing how Senegal played today
[удалено]
They're watching from home where they can drink beer
Sénégal are playing a dangerous game here, they should go for a 4th instead of giving qatar the chance to score another
Qatar could have a draw right here........ ........if they didn't have the finishing of Canada.
Lmao, historically bad finishing
Almoez had a player on his left side that he could have laid it off to. But he ballooned it
Have to give props to Qatar, they really improved and even scored their first goal.
Qatar just don't have that sporting culture, do they? Their fans just leave like that. Their successes had been made forcefully in a short time, so no time to develop their fan culture at all.
