The opening day is today and we will be covering everything that happens in the country. We're going to take the journey with you.
There was only one win, and it was by Ecuador. When I watched Pitt-Kent State on the first day of the NCAA tournament, I received a text from a friend. I don't want to be here, but what else am I going to do?
It wasn't a great advertisement for the tournament, as Qatar were awful for most of the match. The nerves they couldn't contain were displayed when they threw it directly to Ecuador. They were disorganized and passive. It is a bad combination.
The crowd was on four at the start of the match and they messed up the count.
They didn't need to be great. They found acres of space in the middle of the field, which allowed them to hit one through-ball and one cross to score, which was all they needed to get three points.
You always worry that you won't get an offer for this section, but Enner Valencia's goal was pretty good.
It is difficult to get it back over your shoulder in the corner. The space given to him by the defense of the country that gave him it.
Yes, technically no. Three minutes into the game, Valencia thought he had scored, but after a lengthy delay, it was found to be in fact an own goal. The confusion was caused by the fact that being behind the keeper was not an advantage. The Fox broadcast took 10 minutes to show the graphic.
Higuita was the keeper who treated his own penalty area like lava and would use any excuse to charge out of it like a college student who was told he had five minutes to claim a free keg. Al Seeb did a great job today, though his own recklessness saved the first goal, and probably so surprised at what the keeper was doing out there in the first place, that he probably didn't know what he was doing. He gave away a penalty that Valencia scored to officially open the accounts, and then punched a cross with no one in sight. Unsure.
The guy went into space in the second minute.
Every time he touched the ball, Gonzalo Plata was a constant menace cutting in from the right and bamboozlingQatar.
Nothing that stood out from the rest of the broadcast was negative about the host country or the ruling party. It is hard to believe that FOX is harping about bringing the world together when we know that homosexuality is illegal and that the number of people that have died is high. Fox's approach to coverage was always going to be awkward, but being thrown into it five minutes into coverage was still weird.
Gary Lineker opened things for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Asking Fox to be honest is not a good way to go about it.
