2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Pandu Geddon]

Here is my selection - Senegal, Serbia, South Korea, Cameroon, Ghana, Wales and Australia. I am sure that one or more of these teams will feature in the semi-finals.    

some big countries such as Italy ultimately could not qualify for the World Cup finals this year. finally, several countries that are considered dark horses will compete in Qatar.

I still favor Brazil for the trophy. but when it comes to dark horses, Senegal and Serbia will make it difficult for the seeded nations. Senegal will be in the opener against a strong Dutch team. we'll see how it plays out.

[bering]

It is not impossible, it is possible that the mentioned team must be eliminated in the group phase. And the dark horse team drove unexpectedly, in fact this is what I look forward to at every biggest football party. Where countries that are not too favorites can talk a lot here. This is something that might happen in the current edition of the World Cup.

Who can be the dark horses this time, and do miracle like what Croatia did last time? No one really expected Croatia to qualify for the quarter-finals and they did the unimaginable by almost winning the trophy (back in 2014 it was Costa Rica). This time who will be the surprise package? I have made a list of teams who are capable of major upsets. Here is my selection - Senegal, Serbia, South Korea, Cameroon, Ghana, Wales and Australia. I am sure that one or more of these teams will feature in the semi-finals.    

Your selection is very interesting but i'm a bit worried about African teams because in the previous tournament they were totally failed and none of African teams who able went to round 16 at that time but i interested to see Serbia team because this team unbeatable for qualification match and finish at first position on group A above Portugal so i think they will talk more in this tournament especially they have good player such as Dušan Vlahović from Juventus or Luka Jović who currently playing for Real Madrid so in my prediction Serbia achievement for this world cup at least will went to quarterfinal

If Senegal can do much in their first game then I have more confidence in them in the next. Because the first match is important to increase their confidence. Moreover, they definitely want to show their best and don't want to be just a complementary country in this biggest football party. I haven't seen a country that really stands out for now. I think their strength can be said to be almost balanced.

Senegal have shown great strength and look ambitious. Lets take a look back at the African Cup of nations, they had a successful campaign in the Nations cup beating Egypt to penalties to become champions. They showed great resilience and devotions, and great team spirit. I believe they will do good this time around,winning the first game will be a boost for them.

I agree, There is still a long time to begins World Cup. Many things can be happen and will change during this time.

Actually it seems to me there are few groups which have more potentiality to get the World cup 2022. In my opinion, we will get the winning team of 2022 from Group C, Group E, Group G and Group H. Specifically, Argentina, Spain, Germany, Brazil and Portugal are very promising.

I still not have any favorite country on 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar because the competition still long time and waiting what happen with several player, they have until ten match left with his team and actually have chance for several player missing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar if got injury. Waiting the final player list each countries before choose which one country have potential get World Cup trophy in this year, will France as the last winner World Cup will back to back as the champion or have another countries will give surprise this time to get World Cup trophy like Argentina, Brazil or could be Spain or Netherland.

The world cup has been very competitive as history has it, I think it’s a little to early to predict the outcome as we still have months to wait before the start of the competition. A lot can happen before then. Teams could suffer injury blows to their top players, some players could also drop in form too, so anything can happen before then. We know their are some countries who are already picked as favourites to win the competition but I wouldn't write anyone off yet

I would understand Senegal in the sense that they came out of Africa with "ease", sure they had some difficulties in few of the games but it wasn't really that much of a shock for them to win it and get here. All in all, I am guessing that they will play the same way against most European and other continent teams as well, there are a few teams which are really above them easily, England France Germany etc etc but that doesn't mean that they will lose against others.

I would wager that they would see semi-finals if they have a good draw, if they face all the best teams of the tournament then they will probably lose, but if they have good luck and play easier opponents, they have a pretty good chance.

I examined all of the World Cup groups and decided that the Group G is the most difficult one. The teams are Switzerland, Serbia, Brazil and Cameroon. I'm already putting Serbia to the last position in the group because I see them as the weakest team of the group. Brazil are the favourite to finish the group as the leader obviously. They are even one of the contenders for the World Cup title. However it is really hard to predict the team finishing at the second position. Switzerland and Cameroon teams have different characteristics and I see them having similar strengths. If I have to choose one of them I would choose Cameroon I guess. They impressed me by their performance in the qualifiers.

Though it won't be a easy competition for Cameroon, despite the fact they qualified for the world cup with ease, that doesn't prove that they will finish above Switzerland in the group. Seribia on the other hand are the weakest team in this group and there is no Believe they can qualify for the world cup, Brazil already are known as the best team in this group, why Switzerland and Cameroon will be fighting for the second place in the group.

Brazil is a pretty solid team in terms of performance in their qualification to become the leader of the Zona Commebol qualifying standings, and have a good record and even won their last 17 matches they played so it's quite clear they have a big chance to be strong candidates for this world Cup.
As for Senegal, this is also quite interesting because they came apart from being underdogs, they are also AFCON champions, whose strength is beyond doubt.

Last time the African teams struggled to adjust to the difficult weather conditions in Russia. This time that should not be a problem. And among the less fancied UEFA teams, Serbia has the momentum right now. My concern is that they have always underperformed during the world cup. Anyway, this time they are placed in a very tough group along with Brazil and Switzerland. If they are able to manage a draw against these two teams, then they can qualify to the next stage if they defeat Cameroon by a large margin.

They have become one of the hopes for Africa now. They have performed well at AFCON and hopefully this will be a plus for them.
If you look now, referring to the qualifiers and the league of nations, there are only a few teams that seem to be ready like Brazil or indeed like Germany, which in their last match slaughtered Italy.
But on the other hand I haven't seen the development of other big teams like France and England now.

Needless to say, Brazil seems to outperform when the eyes of the world are on them. I would not be surprised they reach the finals again. But my hope is an african team takes the throphy, and yes Senegal has the best cards.

[3meek]

I still stand by my point of view, my favorite is Argentina.
I don't understand how England are placed in second place, as we saw England's game was not impressive. I prefer if the second position is in place by Spain or francis, I think the game of these two countries is better than England. Even England's UEFA nations league tournament had to finish last in group 3.

About whom is going to win this world cup it's too early because right now we have five months remaining in this even and many changes can happen like injuries or some other factors which can play vital role in any team's performance from here any team can go through to win for me Brazil, France, Argentina and Germany are teams to watch.

What about current world champions France? I don't think they should be ignored because they have one of the strongest national teams in the world... The same goes for Belgium, because their team is also very strong... The Netherlands can probably claim the title too... It's hard to predict right now, but in my opinion there are many more candidates...

Hot weather will help African countries on 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and give difficult with European countries because they have adapt with Asian region really hot and their country have cold weather. I think will be credit points actually for Asian and African countries participants on 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar how they can talk until final stage. Although many predicting doubt with African participants I think have African country will make surprises result, will see they can lead until semifinal for this World Cup time edition like Senegal or Cameroon.

The World Cup is played late in the year just to curb on the heat in Qatar. It will be played in November so that the place is much much cooler than the usual time of June-July. It will be about 19-28 degrees around November which is quite pleasant for most countries.

[Velvet78]

The weather conditions would really be tough in Qatar if they played in the summer or right after it ends. They made the right decision by carrying the tournament to November. But this has some negatives sides over the players too of course. Because its being played in November will force the leagues to have a huge break. This can cause their schedules to be much tighter after the World Cup ends. I still sometimes question whether it was necessary to have a World Cup in Qatar.

Africa is the places to produce many talented players but i don't know why seems african teams always be difficult while against European teams or South American teams however regarding Serbia i think they have equal chance to Swiss went to round 16 and assume Brazil is too strong in group G and Cameroon as the underdog so they will competed with Swiss to get runner up position but indeed Swiss and Serbia has been in the same group in the previous world cup and Swiss can able to win from them at that time but i think the current world cup is different that Serbia stronger and have good chance to knockout phase

An entirely new taste awaits for us! However, the 2022 FIFA World Cup will begin in mid-November, forcing leagues to adjust schedules! The game would be better off if it were to start in mid-August, with only tough weather conditions as a barrier. It should not have a significant impact on a league, but make the most of the increased interest. Even though it affects the 2022-23 season, it doesn't seem that the league is as disorganized as forever.

It will affect it, no doubt.
Usually the time of the season when there are more games in clubs is between December and January. This means that national team players will go to their clubs after the World Cup and may be more tired than usual. We can't forget that the world championship has a lot of games in a few days, which can become complicated even in the middle of the season.

yeah, but only the best ones
all the other will have a time to rest in the middle of the season, Calcio would not be that affected IMO, since Italy is watching World Cup from home

nevertheless, that could bring up some smaller teams, that do not have international stars into top rows, and make season more interesting in the end, since Top teams will have tired players, and need time to play-up after the World cup
