Qatar spent 12 long years preparing but still could not make a surprise when losing 0-2 toEcuadorat the opening matchWorld Cup 2022.

The home team were completely outplayed by the South American representatives before conceding two goals after just half an hour.

Even without VAR technology,Qatar teameven had to lose more in the first half.

However, that was enough for Qatar to become the host team with the worst start in the history of the biggest football festival on the planet.

Specifically, since FIFA changed the rules to allow the host team to play the opening match of the World Cup in 2006, no host team has lost until Qatar met Ecuador.

In fact, in the 92-year history of the World Cup, no host team has ever lost in the opening match of this prestigious tournament.

And if they continue to play like this, it won't be too surprising if Qatar becomes the worst performing host team in World Cup history.

In the opening match, Qatar was completely outclassed by Ecuador. In fact, in more than 90 minutes of play, coach Felix Sanchez's players did not even have a single shot on target.

In the next two matches, Qatar will face Senegal and the Netherlands respectively. These will continue to be huge challenges for the host team of the 2022 World Cup./.
