Qatar Develops Goose Pimples After Opening Game Loss To Ecuador - World Cup Update
World Cup host, Qatar is worried about how to return fans back to the stadium after their loss to Ecuador in the opening match.
Qatar manager, Felix Sanchez, hailed fan support during the home nation’s disastrous 2-0 defeat to Ecuador, despite many fans leaving well before the final whistle.
The Qataris got their home FIFA World Cup off to the worst possible start on Sunday evening, conceding two first half Enner Valencia goals and generally being played off of the park.
While the official attendance at the game was over 57,000 at the Al Bayt Stadium, many fans had left prior to the start of the second half, and by the 80th minute mark it was clear that the ground was closer to being empty than it was to being full.
Despite this huge exodus of Qatar fans, manager Felix Sanchez was quick to praise the support, stating: “We felt backed and supported and we hope for the next game, people will feel prouder and keep supporting us to the end of the tournament. The atmosphere was great, people were very much looking forward to this game.
