Ecuador

[Kit Kat Chunky]

It will get worse in 2026 when it's a 48 team tournament. We didn't qualify in 78 when it was only 16 teams. Qualifiers are now a waste of time.

Equador re my team in the Work's sweepstake - C'mon!! 

[Ministry Of Silly Signings]

Qatar look like a pub team

 Which one. The Apostates Head?  The Shoplifters Arms? The Minors?

The Gaylord Tavern

The Sheikh and Envelope.

The Jiffy Bag & Greenbacks.

So nearly a quarter of FIFAs members will qualify ? It can only mean more rubbish teams from Asia / Africa / Central America.

England in a group with El Salvador, Benin & Saudi Arabia ?

Hills had a frankly ridiculous bet on offer:

Argentina and Brazil to win all three group games and Qatar and Saudi Arabia to lose all of theirs - 100/1

One match down, ten to go. This was one of the games I was least confident on too.

Wonder how many Qatari fans will show up at the next game?

Did South Africa make it out of the groups? Trying to think when the host hasn’t made it into the second round.

[Derek Hardballs]

Well that was distinctly meh

No they didn't despite beating France and drawing with Mexico. Only time hosts haven't progressed I think. Until now, like.

Well that was distinctly meh

We’re you expecting big entertainment from Qatar v Ecuador?

Nope and it didn’t disappoint.

[mickeypearce]

Qatar are spectacular.

Can only think of Zaire (who didn't know the rules) as being worse in a finals.

Absolutely terrible, should be nowhere near a World Cup.

El Salvador’s class of 82 want a word.
