2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Boristhecat]

Spain, Germany, Brazil and France are all seasoned winners when it comes to the world cup and I believe this year's own will be no different. I also have faith that Portugal can do something this time around and trust that Ronaldo along with his comrades will do something special.
 Spain had been impressive in previous years and no doubt will be do their best to carry this year's cup.
Ukraine will have a lot on their plate when they meet Scotland as they are still being distracted by the war, but I believe they will be worthy opponents for Scotland even if it won't be on their soil.

I don't know exactly the composition of the Ukrainian national team for the upcoming game, but I can assume that most of the players will be from the European championships, which means that the players will be in a normal physical condition, at least not worse than the players from the Scottish team. As for the psychological state, I think the war will affect someone as an additional motivator, and for someone it will be like extra pressure. This is individual.

i think spain is not as strong as in the past, germany is not as strong as in the past, brazil is not as strong as in the past... in this list of countries you mentioned i just agree that france is more strong. In this world, strong teams are:

Belgium - they have a very strong team that can win world cup

England - they have a strong team this time that can win world cup

Argentina - also has a strong team that can win world cup

Brazil - they are not as strong as in the past but they have a chance to win the world cup

France - also has a strong team that can win world

I honestly think that France is the strongest of the teams that are mentioned above. Belgium, England, and Brazil are also very good teams in my opinion. If it was a couple of years ago I would have said that Argentina don't have any chance but now I think Argentina have a good squad and they are quite stronger compared to the team that they had before. I believe they have a chance of winning the world cup France is the strongest in my opinion. And I don't believe Germany is strong as people believe them to be, especially in this era.

France is the reigning world champion and is also at the top of the bookmakers together with Brazil. That is not without reason. I think other teams are quite behind, but the differences are not very big. And what is also important is that you have a good draw. And then hope you can avoid strong opponents and grow in the tournament. Brazil - France would be a dream final. But a number of other countries can also beat France.

I guess you are refering to the Scotland vs Ukraine game?
I just checked odds and found: 2.3/3.2/3.2

Scotland does play at home, which is a real advantage again with audience in the stadiums. Independent of the war, I think Ukraine is not a weak team and probably stronger than Scotland. With Scotland playing at home they should be about the same level. Maybe bookmakers really factor in that Ukraine will perform worse because of it?

I think it's going to be a very close match, my guess is that they will end in a tie. In any case it's probably going to be a fun game to watch.

The play off match between ukraine vs scotland has now got a definite schedule, after being postponed due to the war between russia and ukraine now the match has officially been played on june 1 later, with only one ticket left for qatar will certainly make the match later it will be quite fierce, without reducing respect for ukraine but I personally tend to prefer scotland to be able to qualify and meet wales in the final play off.

For me, Ukraine now has many weaknesses, not only in what the country is going through, but also in the fact that its players are a little more concerned and their mentality is in the things that happen in their country, they know very well that some players have resigned to go defend their country and this causes many players of the national team to be quite out of their physical conditions, therefore, putting the game so close can mean that they have to make a lot of effort to qualify, it is interesting, but I think that Ukraine will have a big disadvantage, and Scotland is a country that plays very good football.

Scotland has always played like a team and strong unit making them a favorite to progress to the world cup. Ukraine is not mentally and psychological ready for this game next week though but the players are professionals and will give it their all on the pitch. I think what they've been through as a nation could be used as a motivation against Scotland.

France - also has a strong team that can win world

I am from Belgium so I will root for them but I doubt that they will win the world cup. They have a very good team with brilliant players (Hazard, De Bruyne, Courtois, Lukaku,...) but for some reason they never capitalise it. This world cup is in fact the last chance of the current team as some players will probably start to retire after the world cup.
If I would place a bet on who would win the world cup it would be either France or England.

It will be a real shame if England and in particular Belgium (which quite rarely have a very powerful team) win nothing again and are eliminated in the early stages of the tournament. In terms of rating, these are top teams, but knockout matches often break all these ratings. I would like to see Belgium reach some kind of pinnacle because firstly it will refresh the list of "traditional" champions and secondly it will allow this very powerful and interesting team to go down in history.

It is difficult to assess the shape of the Ukrainian national team now, many players have been without a game for months and this will certainly affect their physical form. It’s not worth talking about the psychological state at all, Scotland in this situation looks like a favorite. If Ukraine can win, it will be a huge feat, and a very big miracle. But to be honest, I don't even know what Ukraine will be capable of in the final part if they manage to beat Scotland.

Having been inactive for a long time, of course, will affect the performance of the Ukrainian players, indeed, Scotland will benefit from qualifying for the world cup in Qatar. but it's true that because their country's condition is not good, it could make the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian players increase rapidly to be able to make their country proud on the football stage.
it will be a very tough match.

How many players of the Ukrainian team have been inactive? Surely there are quite a few that play in other European top leagues? It is true that all those things will affect Ukraine's performance, but Scotland is no unbeatable opponent either. I think both teams have a fair chance to progress into the final qualification game. Odds for progression are currently at Scotland 1.6 and Ukraine 2.2, so roughly 60-40 in favor of Scotland.

For me its realistic that any of this teams wins. Even with Ukraine being in war it shouldnt effect that much the football team maybe it should even give them a boost. If they call players that havent been effected by the war and were playing they should have a good chance

I honestly don't know the current situation of the war between Russia and Ukraine. But I believe it is natural for the players of a country to not be concentrated on football when there is a war going on in their country.  I believe I heard that a lot of football players,  or maybe a few football players, were taking part in the war. So I don't think there will be too much concentrated on football but at the same time, they have to be professional. and obviously, Scotland is not too hard of an opponent either.

I checked the odds, and most of the sportsbooks are favoring Scotland. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine doesn't have anything to do with it. Scotland is simply the better team out of the two. As of now, Scotland is at 13/10, while Ukraine's odds are 11/4. Draw is placed at 11/5. 3-0 win by Scotland is having odds of 25/1 and this one looks attractive for me. Considering the weakened morale of the Ukrainian team, I won't be surprised if they get mauled by the Scots. The match will take place at Hampden Park (Glasgow), and Scotland will be having some sort of host advantage as well.

I believe Scotland is obviously a better team compared to the Ukrainians. I just thought the war might be a reason for the Ukraine team to perform worse than they could have.
Anyway, in every shape and form, it looks like Scotland is the favorite in this match. And when we add the fact that it is also going to be a home match for Scotland I think the Ukraine team has honestly no chance.

[uneng]

Psychologically it will be a hard game for Scotland, as most people want ukrainian national team to raise the morale of their country and their people.winning this match towards Wolrld Cup. And considering how brave ukrainians are, their players will do the best they can and fight with all their strength and energy in order to make not only their nation, but also the world, proud of their performance and effort.

Moreover, Scotland is missing key defender player Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, who can be replaced by Nathan Patterson from Everton, although he hasn't featured since April due to ankle surgery, being this strategy unassured for Scotland. That is a weak defensive point Ukraine may want to explore in game.

I do agree that Scotland is a better team, but under these circumstances I feel that Ukraine player’s may play much better then they usually would, and therefore there’s a big possibility of them winning against Scotland. However if they fail to perform well then they can’t really be blamed, because these are extraordinary conditions and they may mentally be not prepared for this match, and thus I hope that their fans will support them irrespective of the result.

I reckon they are pretty much very similar in terms of skills, and the game can really go either way. It will be a very close match in my mind. Scotland does have the local advantage so that's something that might give them the edge. We'll have to see how Ukrainian players perform in the field, because it can go either way, they can be motivated to go and win at all costs, or they might have their minds in other, more important things.

It will nevertheless be an interesting game to watch.

The match of ukraine and scotland will be a life and death match for both teams to get a place in the final play off against wales, from the game and squad i think scotland is still much better than ukraine, other than that the scotland national team obviously has a lot of time and calm in training compared to with the ukraine national team whose territory is in war, but the amount of support from a pro-ukraine country will of course raise the mentality of the ukraine players to win the match later, to be honest, in terms of strength maybe the match will not be balanced but it is not impossible for ukraine to give surprise in the game.

Yes, I also believe they are going to get support from their own fans and most of the neutral fans as well. Well, it is not supported in my opinion, I think we should call it sympathy. And you obviously can't win a football match just with the help of sympathy. Because they will not get any sympathy from their opponent team on the field and I believe Scotland will be the winners in this match.

It is obvious that both the teams are going to try their hardest to win this match but even though it looks like both teams have the same chances I honestly believe that Scotland is a better team here. I am not saying this will be a one-sided match but I am saying Scotland will have a better chance. Ukraine is obviously going to get the support no doubt. They will also surely get the support of neutral fans but support is not going to win them the match.
