Presuming the number 13 got the ball from there, then it’s probably just offside to be fair

I don’t think the ref is corrupt,, but the var team are definitely stationed in one of the palaces

Foul on the keeper is the only thing it could be.

Qatar 0-0 Ecuador

Shamoon Hafez

BBC Sport at Al Bayt Stadium

Al Bayt had been stunned into silence, it was looking like an absolute disastrous start for Qatar.

But then the reprieve as VAR rules there was a foul on the goalkeeper.

Keeper's body is behind the Number 13. Hmmm.

VAR can't call fouls, the ref would have to check the monitor for that.

It's the yellow sock behind the keeper, the ball went to him, his toes look offside.

The offsides are automated, any slight fraction that is offside is given offside.

What about player behind goalie ?

It's shite that footy has got to the stage where that is disallowed IMO.

The referee signalled that it was offside

Dim Glas · « **Reply #132 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:18 pm »

still saying it was dissaollowed for offside.

So no idea where the foul thing is coming from? Basically no one knows I guess! Just didn’t want to allow Ecuador to score .

Elzar · « **Reply #133 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:18 pm »

Ah BBC just showed it, there is 2 attackers on the goalie and the one whose foot is showing is the offside one that got the ball

The North Bank · « **Reply #134 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:23 pm »

Both teams are shocking to be fair. Easy group this for the Dutch

Dim Glas · « **Reply #136 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:54 pm »

penalty for Ecuador.

That goalie is having a nightmare.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #137 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:57 pm »

Definite penalty.

smicer07 · « **Reply #138 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:16:59 pm »

it was given as offside and looks like it actually was...the palyer who provided the assist was offside

I have 14 minutes of play to go off of, but is this keeper the worst keeper to have played at a World Cup? He’s awful

Fromola · « **Reply #142 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:18:57 pm »

He's great 9-1 to get booked

Hope they get knocked out in the group stages so we don'thave to watch then in the knockouts. As Echo and the Bunnymen once said, spare us the Qatar.

Lycan · « **Reply #150 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:21:44 pm »

Should be 2-0

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #151 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:21:50 pm »

Reckon the keeper will get sent off. If Ecuador just keep playing it into the box he'll make something happen for them.

The North Bank · « **Reply #152 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:22:01 pm »

200 billion, and they couldn’t buy a better keeper

I think I can be a part time Qatar keeper too

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #155 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:22:43 pm »

Ecuador should have added a second. Can only imagine the likes of the Dutch will easily put four by Qatar if they can be arsed

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #156 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:24:31 pm »

Surprised United are okay with ten Hag managing Qatar too.

Can't be doing with them spawning through for Kane to score 5 against them in the next round. They're too shit to rig it for them.

South Africa were straight out in 2010 so it's not a pre-requisite that the hosts have to stay in.

Samie · « **Reply #158 on:** November 20, 2022, 04:25:23 pm »

That Qatar keeper might not be ever seen again after this game.

Sad Auld Sheep not very good in goal.
