Hello 20 Minutes!!!! If in our early childhood, lulled by football, we had been told that one day, an obscure Qatar-Ecuador would become the major event of the whole football planet… We would have undoubtedly replied that our idols Alexander Vencel and Alexander Mostovoi (true story) would one day lift a Champions League with RC Strasbourg. Yes, but here we are, this Sunday, November 20, 2022, with our eyes fixed on the Al Bayt stadium in Al-Khor (what a life). Frankly friends, do you know even one player who will be present at 5 p.m. on the lawn, both sides combined? OK respect, you have honed your subject by leaving us Moises Caisedo, the Ecuadorian midfielder who we sometimes see shining in the Premier League with Brighton. But for the rest, good luck ladies and gentlemen. All that to say that on this 2022 World Cup with already mixed enthusiasm in France, it is a little difficult to think that we are going to have fun from this opening match. But we only ask to be surprised, in particular by this mysterious Qatari selection, which had the great merit of not having naturalized 723 players for 12 years in anticipation of the World Cup, unlike its handball counterpart in 2015.
>> On this, we give you an appointment at 4:30 p.m. here, to discuss with you the atmosphere and the compositions (our analysis risks being extremely sharp at this level). Kick off is for 5 p.m.
