That Qatar fan section is a total sausage fest.

They're all plants.

Yep. Saw something fairly legit a few days ago that said they're Pakistani and getting $10 a day plus room and board to act rowdy. The actual Qatari are wearing white and are infinitely more subdued.

lol

You can tell the Qataris aren't experienced international footballers. No flopping, deliberate time wasting tactics, harassing the officials after calls, etc.

Sadly I've been with worse

THIS IS HYSTERICAL

They are selling it to themselves not recognizing how fabricated it all looks

The only good thing so far is that Peyton / Beckham commercial.

Qatar is so bad I'm not sure that even Big 12 football refs could save them.

---

Yea so I just looked up their lineup on Wiki. I was assuming that they had at least a few players that played competitive European soccer, maybe in Turkey or something. Or maybe in the MLS.

Nope. Not a single player on their team plays internationally anywhere.

---

Their strategy is interesting. They have a home grown academy that scouts players at 10, and if they are good enough they live there and okay soccer for the next 8 years. They are farmed out to decent European leagues where they own parts of other teams (Leeds united is one, and a couple of Spanish teams in lower leagues). Otherwise they all play in the Qatari league in order to make sure they have good chemistry. They know they likely won't have the talent to out talent teams so they depend on playing well as a team.

Here's a video that explains it. Pretty interesting strategy and not a bad one for a small country IMO.

You're not officially a footballing nation until your fans are handing out death threats to families in the crowd

Where is the crowd? They're certainly not in the beer line!

That Ecuadorian is an idiot, as well. You've got your wife and kid with you but you're going to try to provoke the crowd like that? Moron.

I imagine that taking a pisser is slightly more complicated and time consuming than unbuttoning your 501's at the trough at the Chicken.

I figured that it was like a kilt.

They're flopping but not rolling around when it's not called.

That dude will end up floating in the Gulf and no one will bat an eye if he doesn't watch himself.

A kilt with 5 layers and one that goes to the floor.

You pull up the outer layer and then it's just pants underneath like anywhere else

Man, I've never thought about what a pain it would be to take a leak in all those robes.

Now I'm also thinking about Jedis trying to take a leak in their get up.

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Qatar settling down a little bit

5 yellows in 55 minutes at the WC. Maybe we will actually see cards this time.

Qatar look like they're playing slow compared to Ecuador

Ecuador looks like they are playing slow vs how id expect the top 10-15 teams to play. Also very poor midfield play from both teams. Maybe EPL has my standards too high.

Qatar almost puts one in. They've been better this half. Maybe they let the occasion get to them in the first

They're not one of the top 10-15 teams.

Game with Senegal should be interesting.

Agree. Just adding that Qatar are in trouble over next 2 games.

Tournament play is so much less fluid and having five subs is going to make individual games feel even choppier
