Group A: QAT/EC/SN/NL

hahahahahahahahaha

This entire thing is a fucking shit show. The greatest good it could do is shine a proper light on FIFA’s corruption, if it wasn’t obvious already.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Referee looked guilty. Secretly knowing his bank account just grew by $1m

Referee lost money there - it went directly to the VAR official

 

[nailsy]

I want to see a replay of that disallowed goal.

 

[aliyid]

Might lump my life savings on Qatar to win the WC

 

[hughy]

Tenner going on Qatar to win the WC right now I think.

 

[Lukasz]

How on earth was that an offside?
Unbelievable, corruption of FIFA is disgusting.

 

[teok]

VAR official.

 

[SlotBadger]

Was offside officially given as a reason? I didn’t see anything stated on-screen.

 

[Marty]

They've given offside because of the keeper being beyond his defence so only one defender between Valencia and goal.

but different phase of play?

Not Valencia. The Ecuadorian who heads it after the keeper's misjudged it was apparently offside, his foot was in front of the keeper's arse.

Apparently.

The yellow leg below the keeper is the one who's judged offside.

 

[Johnny J]

I actually want to see four more Ecuador goals ruled out by VAR, just to see the epic drama and fallout.

 

[theShiznit]

That player that was "offside" wasn't involved before at least three more headers/touches from other players.
That is a truly laughable decision.

 

[yawa]

I want to see a replay of that disallowed goal.

Dion Dublin’s commentary was amazing - “ I saw nothing wrong”

 

[soflapaul]

At the rate Qatar is playing this could set the record for goals called back for offsides for all professional and amateur matches played since people were kicking about skulls

 

[chrissivad]

I want to see a replay of that disallowed goal.

They showed the replay, keeper comes out and collides with the player.

No foul at all, ball was there to be won

 

[ExpatFan]

And so it begins.
Unless impossible to do so, any and every goal Qatar concede in the group stage will be ruled out!

 

[fortworthspur]

wow. I. dont know if I will be able to get through this Cup. everything about it is corrupt.

 

[Gbspurs]

haha they definitely been bought - why was that ruled no goal

I think when the header was won with the keeper, the forward was just offside. Similar to Kane vs Chelsea where Kepa came out.

 

[teok]

They said it was offside.

 

[Johnny J]

Just so on brand for this WC that the very first VAR controversy would be a goal ruled out against Qatar.
