Ecuador been poor this first 15 mins - need to step it up soon.

Big goal, I mean really big, almost massive.

1-1

Thats the risk of having a man on the post... no chance of that being offside

Shame for Senegal he was standing on the wrong post

Was he actually on the pitch?  Looked like he was stood behind the line...

Blatant cheating from that man though in trying to camouflage himself as part of the post

As they say, you are most vulnerable when you have just scored

johnnybev1987

well, that lasted long, managed to knick one then concede right away!

ForeverAddickted

This is the start of the World Cup, can expect this all week

Cafc43v3r

Is our defensive coach moonlighting? 

Callumcafc

Wow

God I love the World Cup

Gonna be glued to Ecuador v Senegal for the next 20 minutes. Got to love World Cup drama and the permutations it throws up.

So no mention of Charlton when they have talked about Sarmiento, was described as a Brighton boy... no he is Charlton! grrr

I'm surprised that they let Trossard referee this match seeing as he has club teammates playing for one of the countries.

Ecuador seem to fumble in good areas alot and really poor control. Probably the situation but they have had chances just messed up. 

Lack of quality on show here.

I can cope with all the players being younger than me, it's the referees being younger too which is depressing

Ha ha Qatar, don’t let the door hit you on the…

Disappointing performance from Ecuador.

ForeverAddickted

Congratulations Senegal, deserved it after four years ago

ForeverAddickted

Ecuador absolutely choked, tried to defend a draw worse than Charlton when we faced Doncaster in 2018-19

So Netherlands win the group and will play the opening round of 16 match against the runner up of England's group on Saturday, 3pm kick off.

Senegal will play the winner of England's group on Sunday, 7pm kick off.

Naby Sarr will be pleased given his Senegalese ancestry...

So USA vs Senegal and Wales against Netherlands 

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Mendy looked very shaky in goal...

(Local time for kick-offs below - three hours ahead of the UK)

Hmm so who do we want, given that a tie against the Netherlands will see us avoid France in the Quarters?

(Our record against the Dutch is shite)
