This is going ugly fast.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted

Yup, keeper is out, should have done it earlier.

So did Iran want to substitute the keeper, but he refused to go out? Our commentator certainly hinted at that.

It's still amazing how Maguire is not only in the team, but also a starting player.

Nevertheless, i am still pulling for Iran to get something from this match.

Qatar can't be that bad... We lost to them a few months back for God's sake...... Looks like the nerves hit them from the start and they forgot everything.

Thought this would be one of the most boring matches at this WC, but thankfully this is not the case so far. Highly entertaining first 17 minutes.

Lol offside, and they didn't show it exactly.

Well, that was quick Total chaos in the Qatar defense.

Fighting start, i like it

I wrote 1:1 in the prediction game, so let's see how my campaign will start.

Pretty good so far for a football ceremony. These usually are very uneventful.

Guess Morgan Freeman is canceled now too, though the guy spoke nothing but the truth.

Hola Gabi Now this more in line with World Cup traditions, finding hot reporters you wouldn't normally ever discover How is this beauty only having 28k Instagram followers is a mystery.

This story being in the forefront (as usual) now, makes me feel slightly sorry for the Qatar players. If there is no such thing and they somehow get a win, or a draw, everyone will still say they bought the match and won't give them any credit. Then they will have to beat Holland to prove them wrong

Ecuador are a decent team, which often manages to qualify, but for me personally they are soooo boring. Out of all South America ones, they are at the bottom along with Bolivia (who never qualifies either way). Excluding the Big 3 from the picture, i would have preferred to have Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Colombia, even Venezuela at the WC. Good luck to them nonetheless, but i can't see them making the 1/8.

Only 1 day left before the start of the WC (Qatar please pay me, as i am an unpaid fan of the World Cup 🌎 )

Hmm, this doesn't bode well for Belgium. They probably tried some stuff in this match and weren't giving their all, but being in one of the toughest groups and having a lackluster form will bring some problems.

One thing is for sure so far, people who wouldn't normally care about the WC, or football in general are very vocal these past 2 weeks. Good thing we talk a lot at work about the teams and players, because when i go "online" the football is a little side thing. Hopefully this will change, when the matches actually start.

89 looks to be the new Main Event category, taking the crown from 81 with new (yet again) re-arrangements. The Antonino Pizzolato - Karlos Nasar rivalry continues with the next chapter and we also have a Chinese and Rostami in the mix. Let's see in what condition Karlos will be (he was caught drunk driving in the summer and had legal problems) and if he can make a fight for the WR. His entry speaks about it, but those can be misleading.

Johannes Dale in a WC, this is new Also, has Tiril Eckhoff retired, have i missed it?

The problem is not the time or the place, it's the f'n calendar being crammed to 200%. It's unbelievable how all the leagues are still going one week before the start of the WC. There is just no break for the fans to get excited... And everything was enhanced in the last months so they can get as many matches in and not "disrupt" the leagues. They should have ended them last week at least to have a 2 week break before the start, but no.. There are just to many matches and the special ones are getting less and less.

2003 Interlagos GP is one of the best F1 races i have watched. Too bad such a race will never happen in modern times.
