Group A - Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

That was like watching Man City in the 2nd half with all the empty seats.

 

[Uppercut]

So many empty seats at this one too.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Looks pretty full apart from the corporates not turning up.
First game that’s looked competitive so far.

 

[Niall]

So many empty seats at this one too.

not missed out, pretty bland stuff this. Both are ok , but neither side has any business in the latter stages of this.

 

[ripper868]

the 10 minutes i've watched so far...this is turgid.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The first half was okay.

 

[Everton Seymour]

Football is cruel ... Netherlands score with their first shot on target in the 85th minute ... Netherlands are making a habit of upsetting African teams this month .

 

[Niall]

8 mins of injury time. ?

Harsh on Senegal, but not like they battered the Dutch tbf.

8 mins of injury time. ?

Harsh on Senegal, but not like they battered the Dutch tbf.

The england match went almost 30 minutes above normal time.

Madness.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The England first half injury time was right due to a serious concussion, but the ten second half minutes and eight minutes here seemed a little high.

The England first half injury time was right due to a serious concussion, but the ten second half minutes and eight minutes here seemed a little high.

When these things happen in the WC they usually transfer to domestic footy. If so, I look forwards to 75 mins of injury team per half in League 2

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Disappointed for Senegal. Hopefully they'll still go through and knock England out in the next round.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Senegal lead from a defensive mistake. Another poor game.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Qatar are eye-bleedingly insipid, aren't they? Nothing about them at all.

 

[MW1304]

Qatar are eye-bleedingly insipid, aren't they? Nothing about them at all.

Just as you said that, they've started to play!

 

[JOJOXI]

Senegal getting a 4th could be crucial. If Ecudaor lose by 1 goal v Netherlands than a 4th Senegal goal might be the difference between Senegal needing just a draw or a win v Ecuador. Of course if Ecuador take points off the Netherlands it doesn't matter anyway.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The Dutch are mediocre in the extreme so far.
Ecuador v Senegal is going to be a great occasion.

 

[Niall]

Shame Ecuador did not win sadly.

Valencia looks crocked which is a disaster for them.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Ecuador pretty much sitting duck hoping for a draw. Going to lose if they play like this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Gakpo looks very good for Holland but Senegal are in total control of the other game just haven't really tested the keeper.
