Sounds like a bunch of school girls screaming anytime anything remotely positive happens for Qatar.

Awful decision

Offside correct var decision cancel the conspiracy theory for the moment

Was that goal disallowed for offside or dangerous play. Either way I couldn’t see what it was disallowed for.

Screen says offside ?

Refs got some balls giving a penalty, wouldn't fancy the trip back to his hotel room after the game

I'd fancy derby to score a penalty against this keeper

Has it got past VAR?

Hard to tell from the replay we've just seen. Wasn't he shown offside when the ball reached him not when the ball was played? Purely academic now but it will be interesting to see the full passage of play again. Maybe VAR did get it right.

Lineker might explain at half time.

TBH have you ever heard any summariser on telly tell you anything you couldn’t have worked out for yourself? Most pointless job going.

What, actually, is the job description. ‘Summarise everything everyone else just saw with their own eyes.’

We've just been shown a Fifa graphic of the goal that was ruled out and it showed a clear offside decision.

I think it depends on who the ball comes off in the tangle between the Qatar keeper, Qatar defender and Ecuador attacker.

If it did come off the Ecuador player then offside was the correct decision by a toe.

He once headbutted Robbie Savage, so he's all right by me.

Personally, I thought the 3rd, sorry 2nd goal was more offside

Did the ball go forward?

Thank you Ecuador for sticking two fingers up at the hosts so far. I hope the fifa president is still crying into his brown envelopes.
