The first match of the 2022 World Cup takes place at the Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as hosts Qatar meet Ecuador in Group A.

Kick-off is at 16:00 GMT.

Qatar have largely operated in a 3-5-2 formation and look set to continue in that shape today, with the experienced Akram Afif and Almoez Ali in attack.

$4.0m ‘keeper Saad Al Sheeb – currently owned by 5.1 per cent in the official FIFA game – also starts.

Hassan Al-Haydos, meanwhile, is named as captain.

As for Ecuador, Brighton and Hove Albion’s Pervis Estupinan and Moises Caicedo both start, with teammate Jeremy Sarmiento named among the substitutes.

Another $4.0m goalkeeper – Hernan Galindez – is included in the starting XI, while former West Ham United forward Enner Valencia leads the line.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

Qatar XI: Al Sheeb, Al Rawi, Khoukhi, Hassan, Ro-Ro, Al Haydos, Boudiaf, Hatem, Ahmed, Afif, Ali

Ecuador XI: Galindez, Preciado, Torres, Hincapie, Estupinan, Plata, Mendez, Caicedo, Ibarra, Valencia, Estrada

More people who don't understand the offside rule including the damn commentators...

It's two players behind the ball. It's usually the goalkeeper but it doesn't have to be.

  Yeah I did see that, when the keeper goes for the original ball. However not seen any lines drawn yet. Weird that's not been shown...

    That is the part that decides whether this is given or not. And it is a bit sketchy ngl.
    
    But Valencia was technically offside at thhe point of contact from the header.

      Yeah i guess they are claiming offsides but it was literally like a millimeter and i don't think it applied the way they claim in that case but I have to see it again

Apparently defenders behind the keeper are not said to be in play. So Valencia was offside.
I don't know the rule.
