This is not the way things Qatar would\u2019ve wanted things to end.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The host nation has been one of the biggest disappointments from what has been an otherwise thrilling group stage, in which 14 of the 16 nations are still in with a chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds heading into the final round of group stage matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar, along with Canada, are the only nations officially eliminated at this stage of the competition after their first two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the pair, Qatar has been the most disappointing nation. So much was invested in the development of this team over so many years, that the meek nature of their exit will leave a sour taste long after the tournament has finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a team we know is capable of playing at a higher level than what they\u2019ve produced over the past nine days, and for that reason there will need to be a deep examination from within the QFA as to exactly what went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it the preparation? Was it the pressure? Was it any one of a thousand different things that could have impacted their readiness for this tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves Qatar in the cliched position of just playing for pride going into their final game tonight at the Al Bayt Stadium against a Dutch side still needing something from this encounter to advance to the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this will be Qatar\u2019s last involvement in this World Cup, it stands to reason that this could also be Felix Sanchez\u2019s last involvement with the Qatar national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there have been suggestions he may continue on after the conclusion of the World Cup, it is surely better for all concerned if this is where the relationship ends. Sanchez has contributed an enormous amount to Qatari football, and his success at the Asian Cup in 2019 in trying circumstances is something that will go down in the significant history of Qatari football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is clear that there is a need for a fresh voice, fresh ideas and fresh players, and the best person to deliver that is a fresh coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given his contribution it is sad that this is how it may end, but such is the way of football at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against a Dutch side with something to play for Qatar will find it difficult, but have the motivation to finish their first ever World Cup with something on the board. It\u2019s unlikely, however, given the form so far that that will be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLAYERS TO WATCH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

MOHAMMED MUNTARI <\/em><\/strong>– Whatever happens against the Dutch the striker has already etched his name into history by scoring Qatar\u2019s first ever World Cup goal. Given the energy and dynamism he has shown off the bench in the first two outings, a first start may come his way as a reward for his good form and this is his chance to press his case for more regular minutes going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
