Qatar qualified to the tournament just because they are hosting it. I don't expect them to progress much further, because they are placed alongside two strong teams in the group stage - Ecuador and Netherlands. Even Senegal is a strong team, although their form remains volatile. So it is going to be a tough task for the hosts to qualify to the PQF stage. BTW, Qatar is a team that is dominated by foreign players. A large number of their players are of Sudanese or other African origin, although they have Qatari passports.
I have doubt that Qatar can take any point from their group because if they were able to have this then surely it's going to be a huge success for them and their fans because they are the weakest side in this world cup with we all know they are in just because of host country and in their country we have all three teams which are very competitive and have few very exciting players with this all going into PQF is just like a joke they are not going to have one point from here.
Ecuador and Netherlands are going to be fight for top two spots with Ghana is also good team which can create any upset so for Qatar just playing into this World Cup is big honor and now having one point could be the biggest achievement with no chance to go through into PQF.
