2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[CryptocurencyKing]

Well France has a great advantage and they are its stars, nothing else Mbappé is a player who defines any game at any minute, if we add Benzema it is another level, for me France is already safe in the World Cup, just like Italy , I see that this Italian generation has a great team with players who are on another level, of course I miss that Italy with Totti, Maldini, Buffon, Del Piero, the bull Vieri, Inzaghi, those were the players that I admired since my childhood, The rhythm of football has now changed, I see that it is very demanding, its level is very high.

I would like to see Sweden in this World Cup, Sweden in the 1994 World Cup was an example, I would like to see the next World Cup to European countries with that level.

There is a well known saying: "too many cooks spoil the broth"

This is exactly what is happening with France. They have some of the best players in the world, such as Kylian Mbappé, Paul Pogba, Presnel Kimpembe and Antoine Griezmann. But there is a lack of coordination among them, and a lot of critics accuse some of the team members to be selfish (i.e refusing to pass the ball to others). I believe that this is one of the reasons why they performed poorly in the Euro cup. And from what I could see, there is no easy fix for this issue. Perhaps Didier Deschamps and Hugo Lloris need to work on this?

I do not think its a matter of ''too many cooks spoil the broth'' because France won the 2018 World cup in Russia. It was almost the same squad with good calibers of players too. I do not want to say Giroud's absence is making the team lose direction or has cost the team some drawbacks. The chemistry he had with the teammates is different from this of Benzema. That aside, it happened that they did not have their very best night on Wednesday, lacking something of a cutting edge in the final third against Bosnia and Herzegovina, though not helped when Jules Kounde's sending off reduced them, to 10 men.

Yesterday’s match of Portugal vs Ireland was awesome. Portugal attacked a lot throughout the match but failed to score. In the end, they scored their first goal in the 89th minute with the help of Ronaldo. And won the match by scoring the second goal in extra time. Ronaldo is missing a penalty shot. Ireland played completely defensive after Ireland scored a goal. They made no further attempt to attack.

I could have sworn I posted a response here earlier, but post history seems to have ghosted it, cause I was writing a long post on all the upsets and handicaps I was thinking of today, based on the assumption the favourites would find it as difficult to perform as yesterday's.

And Oman already got our very first upset of the day at 15/1! Didn't bet on it though.

Inspired by these, I'm placing a single on other upsets. Just need one to hit.
Liechtenstein double chance: 51/1!
Hungary: 9.8
Lebanong: 15
Syria: 18.5
Bulgaria: 31.6
Vietnam: 15.9

Some double chances there are pretty cool too.

@iv4n: Georgia's been so kind to me since Nations League, but odds are no longer good on them, bookies got wiser.

But isn't it Japan team a little bit tired ? I know they've played at Olympics with their best squad so they basically had like 3 weeks of pause ? There is no way that they can do the recovery process for the necessary stamina. for Portugal.

The team that played in the Olympic games is not the same that plays at this stage. There may be some players who played in the Olympics and are playing now, but most are not. So that won't be a reason for poor performance now.

[Daniel91]

Russia - Croatia should be a decent game for the neutrals today. Both teams opened the qualifications with 2 wins and a loss and occupy the qualifying positions currently.

I hope Croatia goes for the win today, in a few days we play away to Slovakia as well before hosting Slovenia. 3 of the toughest games in the same international window, not much room for error. Most of our players are out of form, but from what I've seen so far - so are the Russians. Could be a high scoring game.

It was a very bad and boring match, hard to watch.
Croatia played without Modric and that was a big handicap for the team.
However, with or without Modric, the fact is that Croatia has not played at the level at which it played at the 2018 World Cup in Russia for a very long time.
The defense does not look safe and well-coordinated and there is no idea or plan in the attack.
It seems to me that the right moment has come for new young players and a new coach.

The match between Argentina and Venezuela will be held today. Will anyone watch the match live? Venezuela is not a strong opponent. At least for a team like Argentina, Venezuela is a weak opponent. As far as I know, Venezuela is the 40th team in the FIFA rankings. Today I hope Argentina will win 2-0.

I will watch this match live. And I will bet for Argentina to win. My guess is, both Messi and Di Maria will be able to score in this match. But so far I have not known who will play in the Argentine squad. If Messi will play today's match, I hope he will score.

[snipie]

Interestingly Belgium took an early goal then tied the score before Lukaku getting them to take the lead. Spain and Sweden scored early goals also and it is 1-1. England didn't score yet and Italy is leading with 1 goal.
In these matches, Spain @1.8 now seems the most profitable odds.

[coinlocket$]

Chiesa scored again for Italy what a crack!
I'm starting to be worried for him, with a huge offer he can leave Juventus the next year if the propriety do not invest anymore.

He could be easily a 120m € transfer player.

I think this is not the time for him to leave, he obviously loves italian football, I think that why he moved to one of the biggest team in the same league, also now that cristiano ronaldo has left juventus for Manchester United, the old lady would be looking for a rock or key man to hang hopes on, I think chiesa is the player, Dybala has had his time but nothing significant came out, Juventus need a more hungry player like chiesa, with the right coaching game plan he can be a club and league legend at juventus.

[swogerino]

Looks like many of the big teams excluding Spain and Italy so far are winning so most of the games are coming out as predicted.I forgot to put some bets on as I just saw a few minutes ago the national teams were playing but it looks like most people will make money from their parlay bets as I think Italy will win against Bulgaria.Only Spain is having a difficult night against Sweden which is losing 2-1 at the moment.Lately the results of the national teams are pleasing the bettors.

[LTU_btc]

Italy didn't managed to beat Bulgaria - I would call it as hangover after EURO. But still, their amazing series without defeats continues.
Sweden won against Spain, not sure that's big surprise. I said that I have doubts about Sapi win.
Germany won jst 2:0 about Liechtenstein, but WErner scored today!
Estonia - Belgium was fun to watch high scoring game.
And what to say about my Lithuania performance? I think it's shameful to lose at home 4:1 against Northern Ireland.

Also expected Spain to have some problems but never thought they will loose, this one had draw written all over it for me. Belgium continued in high form and outgunned Estonia. This is the way top teams should play against significantly weaker teams. Attack them with knowledge that you can score couple goals more then them and let your players have fun.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It was a very unlucky day for Italy against Bulgaria. They couldn't manage to beat Bulgaria and it ended 1-1. They played highly dominant in this game. They would have scored at least 4 or 5 goals normally. They got 27 shots and only one third of them were on target. Bulgaria got a very lucky point here. Italy must be really unhappy about the result and they would like to win their next game absolutely.

[joker_josue]

This journey was a real headache for some countries:

- Ukraine draws with Kazakhstan
- France draws with Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Netherlands draws with Norway
- Spain lost to Sweden
- Italy draws with Bulgaria

If this continues at this rate, we will have teams at the World Cup that will be their first participation.

Unexpected results from italy and germany firstbecause italy dominated the game with 75% possesion in the second half and 19 goal attempts as for germany who played an easy match and despite the win 2 0 they had many opportunities they shouldve won with a big score but since the euro they did not perform well and in my opinion the reason is that their squad is not as rich as it used to be.

[Stalker22]

Today's match results:

Group B: Georgia 0-1 Kosovo, Sweden 2-1 Spain
Group C: Italy 1-1 Bulgaria, Lithuania 1-4 Northern Ireland
Group E: Czech Republic 1-0 Belarus, Estonia 2-5 Belgium
Group I: Andorra 2-0 San Marino, Hungary 0-4 England, Poland 4-1 Albania
Group J: Iceland 0-2 Romania, Liechtenstein 0-2 Germany, North Macedonia 0-0 Armenia

Spain's defeat by Sweden was the only surprise today. An interesting fact, the last team to defeat Spain in World Cup qualification was Denmark back in 1993, Sweden's neighbors.

[coinlocket$]

Surprises of the day:

Only a draw for Italy versus Bulgary, that should be an easy 3 points.
More incredible is the defeat of Spain versus Sweden.

Next game next week and finally we have a break from national games.
