Coulthard's Jaw Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 We're back at the Al Thumama Stadium, where Senegal lost their opening match and Spain put 7 past Costa Rica. The Table Qatar Going by what happened in the opening match, and with the Netherlands coming up in their final game, a win is the only option for Qatar here. They will have to do better than their quite frankly hopeless attempt in the first match. They have DROPPED goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb. Senegal A defeat wouldn't definitely see them gone, but they would be in big big trouble. A draw isn't great either, need to win this. Teams TV Coverage It's Lineker with Pearce and Dublin commentating. God help us all. Head to Head These countries have never faced off before.

CFuller Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Qatar culled The Sheep. Senegal weren't great in their opener, but they should win this pretty easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Lineker just mentioned that Qatar's new keeper Barsham is the brother of the high-jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim, who won Olympic gold in Tokyo (sharing it with an Italian rival - what a moment that was, by the way). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there is still a scenario for the loser here where they could get through with a final day win. If the group finishes 9-3-3-3 that is.

Rob1981 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 What we can say for certain is that if Qatar lose here, they will be officially the worst host nation of all time. South Africa in 2010 was the only previous group stage exit by a host, but South Africa managed four points from nine that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
