1. Qatar vs Ecuador match was done and Ecuador won for 2-0 against Qatar.
2. No evidence if Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador.
3. Why no one discuss if Saudi Arabia bribed Argentina players and Japan bribed Germany players? Cheesy

There's nothing should be discussed anymore, why we need to discuss to a match that has been ended and the result goes wrong with people prediction. I ask to @OP to lock this thread and just focus to the next world cup match.

Even though Ecuador won the match, it would still be nice to know if there was bribing happening or not. Seems like a big deal to me if the host country really engages in trying to bribe the enemy team. Only the attempt on it's own should already have major consequences and remove Qatar from the worldcup. I am not so sure about the average wages for professional football players in Ecuador, but to me it seems that 1 million is a huge amount. Shouldn't that be flagged by the banks? When 8 players get so much money added to their bank account there should be some kind of proof that could easily be investigated. It baffles me a bit that there is no demand by the international community to investigate the claims furthers. Also there was no need for Japan to bribe any Germany players, we are doing this happily on our own. 4 years ago it was South Korea, now it's Japan. The german team can't handle the pressure. Gonda played exceptionally well during that match, he deserves to win. Now I am rooting for a Japan to get far during the tournament as I lost all my money on Germany and not going to trust them again this cup.
