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

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

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.

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"
