Didn't Qatar originally not want to play in the opening match? Which every host country has always done? They basically told them they had to.
Now we know why.

“Just trust us” - not even bothering to show any replays. As if it won’t be all over every streaming outlet in the world

Hahaha FS1 skips the offside call!

Not showing the fake offsides in the highlights

Still haven’t seen any analyst explain the “offside” correctly

Qatar has already taken Rob Stone RIP

They showed it, but keep calling him offsides when the player RECEIVES THE BALL, not when it’s kicked.

This Fox broadcast crew is rough. We don’t get fun Deuce like we do on the Paramount+ desk

Wtf was Dempsey talking about? Tie goes to the runner?

Never thought I’d hear Andres Cantor on a wal marks commercial

Think that was his way of saying the call was BS while keeping producers happy.

Didn't Fox get the extension for 2026 without a bidding process when they announced the World Cup would be in Qatar? They're part of the corruption they aren't about to say anything negative.

They keep showing the animation but has there been a view of when that leg beyond the defender actually occurred to show where everyone else was at that point?

There’s no “trying” soccer. You love it or you don’t. But I catch your drift, lol. That’s why they initially didn’t have Qatar opening the tournament.

It used to be the previous champion opened from what I remember

I think the rationale is that the frozen frame is when the ball hit off an Ecuadorian player’s head, but this much slow motion hindsight just absolutely kills the magic of soccer IMO.

Embarrassing. Network told him, “Make us sound new and ignorant to the game.”

Lalas is slobbering all over the decision and Dempsey just "wants to see more goals"
