Football enthusiasts have witnessed the first bad decision of the 2022 World Cup and are calling on FIFA to have manipulated the event based on the horrible way Ecuador.
Has the World Cup started if we have not noticed a bad call that makes everyone on Earth question FIFA?
As if it were the opening ceremony, the World Cup kicked off on Sunday in Qatar with a dubious 0-0 draw against Ecuador in the opening minutes of their match against the host team.
FIFA can literally wait more than 3 minutes to score a goal and create controversy, while sending a strong message to football enthusiasts around the world about how the World Cup is going.
Ecuador was the first country to get on the scoreboard at the World Cup with an impressive purpose, or so it seemed.
Here is the goal, which at first glance seems good, however, since then we have been conditioned through a number of other points to take such a thing literally.

The goal went to a VAR check and was cancelled out through an offside penalty expired. Fans were quick to criticize officials and FIFA for the first of what are likely to be many outright World Cup call-ups.

My Dieu. Je can’t really do it. You try to suspend disbelief after all the disgusting stories. . . And 3 minutes later, they do a trick like this. FIFA is what we thought it was. If I’m a fan of Ecuador, I’m furious right now. Absolutely impolite call.

If Ecuador doesn’t win at 30, I don’t watch the World Cup the rest of the day. I swear to God.

FOX Regulatory Analyst Attempts Ecuador’s Offside Sanction
Machnik did his best when officials saw the offside penalty, but he didn’t suppress his own reservations that the decision was a bit far-fetched.
“It’s a very offside decision, but it happens when the goalkeeper goes off the line like that,” Machnik said on the show.

That’s how closely Ecuador’s offside resolution was opposed. ?pic. twitter. com/ALzB6sDZiq

As brutal as it was to erase a goal from the World Cup qualifier, Ecuador had the last word by scoring a penalty a few minutes later.
However, FIFA made his presence known in less time than it takes to prepare a cup of coffee and let everyone know that the World Cup will be long this year.
