That's a weak group.

You should be qualifying from that group.

[bots]

Senegal are african champions are they not?

[Nicky91]

there are no such things as ''weak groups''


Senegal have got what it takes to be able to go deep in a world cup, they did that in 2002 for example


Qatar well they got useful experience from playing against many south american teams in recent years


Ecuador i'd say are the weakest on paper



as for our team, well hopefully we will leave Vincent Janssen home :fan: and it is kinda a bad thing we rely on Depay too much, and pls no Martins Indi that one is a certain red card booking happening if we select him :facepalm:

[Nicky91]

first match will be Ecuador vs Qatar now, on ecuador's request to move dates to sunday instead of monday

[Crimson Dynamo]

Holland will win that weak group easy I think

[Calderyon]

Netherlands should be easily 1st
Senegal 2nd
Equador 3rd
Qatar 4th

[Nicky91]

my prediction

Senegal 1st (we dutch will somehow find a way to mess things up like we always do and tbh Senegal are always a dark horse for me ever since 2002 with their shock QF)
Netherlands 2nd
Qatar 3rd (yes i don't underestimate them entirely and maybe they can beat ecuador, i mean they already have done lots of experience against south american teams in copa america)
Ecuador 4th

It was a hoax apparently..

This is more legit :)


BREAKING NEWS- Ivan Toney has denied that the recent betting allegations cost him a place in the England Squad and states he is gutted he will not be involved in Monday’s 2 - 2 draw with Iran ...

thinking of a draw between qatar and ecuador



senegal - netherlands, well without Mane senegal are useless, so easy win for NL, wouldn't surprise me if it gets up to 0-3 or 0-4

[Beso]

Iv put a skydiver on Qatar to win today

:crazy:

[Zizu]

Some crazy tackles flying in and unpunished.

At this rate there won’t be any flair players left for the knock out section.

very solid from Senegal (whom on paper are weakened without their superstar Sadio Mané ofc) but where one player falls, others can grab their chance to shine, and exactly that is what happens here

[Nicky91]

good chance for Qatar

[Nicky91]

Qatar becoming more and more dangerous, another good chance, this time from Pedro Miguel

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

am just proud to be dutch, the best anti-football i've ever seen


:worship: King Louis van Gaal I, first of his name, king of the dutch army, ruler of the bundesliga, ruler of the premier league, multiple winner of the eredivisie

[Dogeatdog]

Im not watching the game but 11 attempts vs NL’s 1 does not look good.

[Swan]

Ecuador look the much superior side, they have done since 15th min.

[Nicky91]

Ecuadorians are lowest of lowest scum losers



we dutch are the best of the best, anti-football we love :lovedup:

[Nicky91]

Ecuador look the much superior side, they have done since 15th min.

your bias, and you haven't been watching the match i guess

[Swan]

Loving Ecuador's passion.

Go for a walk Nicky, have a nap or something.

[Dogeatdog]

Ecuador look the much superior side, they have done since 15th min.

I’m just looking at the stats and I’m surprised that it’s still a draw tbh.

[Swan]

I’m just looking at the stats and I’m surprised that it’s still a draw tbh.

Ecuador have had the best chances, had a goal ruled out, wrongly imo, though it could of gone either way.

Ecuador high 5ing for strong tackles, love the passion being shown!

I’ll have to catch the highlights for the disallowed goal.

That’s one thing I like about watching the smaller teams in the World Cup is the passion those teams (and the fans) show. Just makes it much more enjoyable to watch.

[Calderyon]

Ecuador have been far superior today.

[Swan]

If it works out a certain way, i'd much rather Holland over Ecuador in the round of 16 for England!

[Calderyon]

Valencia injured.

Enner Valencia possibly out of the WC now and Gakpo also limping

The teams are obviously targeting the opposing teams main players

[Nicky91]

a point is something, now bench Timber, Blind pls vs Qatar and more offensive football


as for Ecuador, well they better not screw up against Senegal themselves otherwise they're still out, gonna be a tough one that, also against a team who has everything to play for and now in the winning mood after that 3-1 over Qatar, now knowing how they can win without Mané

[Nicky91]

shame only one from Ecuador and Senegal can go through :(

The fans are very colourful at the ecuador match

[Zizu]

I’m backing Ecuador so Enner Valencia can be top scorer ..

I don’t want Mbappe or Cronaldo to win it at all .. plus Koulibaly of Senegal is just a thug !!

Also, Andros Townsend on commentary is so random. Isn't he married to that gorgeous Irish bird from Big Brother?!
