2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Fara Chan]

France is the reigning World Cup champion who is certain to return to being one of the favorites to win the 2022 World Cup, and the depth of the French squad is extraordinary ahead of the 2022 World Cup. And opponents France will of course have to rack their brains against a team of very good quality on all fronts.
and the new squad and youth squad for the French team were also successful and tested, being able to win the 2021 UEFA Nations League title by beating Spain in the final.

Certainly France will be a country that is considered strong in the future World Cup, because the previous champion is them, plus the young players they have now, have good quality playing in their respective clubs, talking about the World Cup is still quite a lot of factors that will affect Certain countries to win the champion, not only won the previous trophy, I think there are several countries that will advance to the final, one of which is France, Brazil and Spain

LOL.. you guys never get tired of propping up France, right? Well.. world cup is just a few months away. Let's see how your favorite team performs. This is not 2018. A lot of things have changed. France of 2022 is a lot different from France of 2018. Even if we look among the European teams, I would say that at this point Spain and England are ahead of France. And in case Pogba is unable to play, as a result of the injury, then things will get even worse for them. Anyway, these are just my personal judgments. Can be wrong.

I totally agree with you. I don't find any similarity between the performance of the France team in 2018 and the performance of the current France team. However, most of the players in the squad remain unchanged, and they have also got a talented star player like Mbappe. But the team performance could not improve it. On the other hand, Spain is a young team but their overall performance is better than France.

I can see a lot of posts favoring France in this thread. It looks as if the French team are the favorites to win this world cup. But I am quite skeptical about the chances of France. I don't believe that the issues that came to forefront during the Euro 2020 has been resolved. There are major issues with team bonding. Players are behaving selfishly and not passing the ball. And I don't think that players such as Adrien Rabiot and Kylian Mbappe are in talking terms, after the confrontation between their family members. No matter how skilled the players are, if the bonding is not there, then they are not going to win. Period.

But if France doesn't win the World Cup, then obviously they will lose to some team, right? So you must name at least one team that is better than France and win it. It's not that I believe in France's victory, but if you think objectively, every team has problems and France does not look like the most problematic team of all.

[dezoel]

Come on! Let's not go into technicalities, the answer is no. They do not have the probability of winning the World Cup, although the calculations give them a probability of 0.0000001% (e.g.) from the point of view of mathematics it is not zero, but it is an unlikely event that will happen.

You are the typical case of failed hope or the classic delusional, the probabilities exist to determine precise facts and avoid the "hope" theme that is distorted in these sports cases, obviously we want a miracle, but the closer it is to zero it becomes improbable , the World Cup is a good example, only a few will achieve it.

This is a terrible calculation. I do not know how it was done, and I agree that France and Brazil has a high chance, but Spain? Really? Did this thing even checked Spain and it's roster? Belgium over England? Seriously?

I think this is a wrong list, the top two is as good as it gets but I do not see how anything else could be correct because it looks like it has been done with something that didn't watched football before, if it's just AI then a machinery could never understand football that well since football is more than just numbers, it means a lot when you watch it versus when you just see the stats of a game since the box score will not tell you the whole story.

 Now, you are correct in the sense of intuition that we can have with certain teams in our own monitoring.

 In any case, going back to the table, it is not a big difference either, since there is not even a percentage point of difference, so it is not a big difference either, just some hierarchical positions that are not represented in a big percentage difference.

The list looks alright in general, but I wouldn't put England on top of Belgium for example.

Also, I think France is showing a bit higher chances than what they really have. In my mind Brazil is the one with the most chances of winning it.

Well.. if France was that invincible, then what happened to them in Euro 2020? IMO, there are at least 3 teams that are stronger than France right now - Spain, Brazil and Argentina. I would add England as well, but their volatile form is a concern for me. And a lot will depend on the availability of Pogba. At this point, it is not confirmed that he will take part in the world cup. If his injury issue gets worse, then France may go to Qatar without Pogba in the squad. And I am not sure how comfortable will they be in playing in Qatar, compared to European stadiums.

I agree with you here.

Actually I would even add Germany to that list of teams.

Personally I don't believe France will end up winning this world cup.

Well.. maybe. Overall, Germany looks like a better team compared to France. But I lost my trust on them, when they lost pathetically to North Macedonia during the World Cup qualifiers. In the end, the margin was 1-2, but that was due to some bias from the referee. Anyone who watched that match would agree that if the referee was unbiased, then the margin could have been 0-3. Also, one reason why I am not much enthusiastic about the European teams this time, is due to the fact that the tournament is being hosted in Qatar.

Germany has improved with changes in the coaching structure so that the young players have been trusted by Hansi Flick. Die Mannschaft is also blessed with the emergence of teenage players who can shine in the 2022 World Cup, such as Jamal Musiala or Florian Writz.
With the current composition of players, Germany will bounce back to become a strong candidate for world champion.

Not a matter of supporting which country is a favorite of champions, we move from the experience that ever existed, plus they have young players who are talented enough to now, in the previous reply I also mentioned several other countries that have the same opportunity, England and Spanish advanced to the semi -finals, but I still doubt the two countries to the final, because there are still Brazil, Germany and Argentina as challengers who are as strong as them, my judgment is so and that can also be wrong

Not entirely sure, that France will easily win the World Cup in the future, I only try to analyze based on previous experiences, but it is not necessarily true and precise, this is only a small prediction that we made based on previous experience, and I also understand that if the benchmark there , then Brazil is the country that is most suitable for champion, because they are the country that won the most World Cup

I had looked at this list before Paul Pogba was badly injured on his pre-season tour. supercomputer has released the favorite team that will win the world champion Qatar, France and Brazil are the candidates who have the most potential to win the championship than other teams that will compete later in the Qatar World Cup match.

and I agree that Brazil is currently becoming the favorite compared to France because of the injury to Pogba, but the analysis is not an absolute and definitive result, even I believe some dark horse teams will stop the big teams from progressing to the next round.

I think that in the final decision-making of certain events our decision is based on intuition.

Sometimes it could be boring and not very entertaining if we don't use our own intuition. In that sense, I would always bet that England would be in a better position than Belgium, always, but in this World Cup, the Belgium team gives me the feeling to say that it will have a better hierarchical position in this World Cup than the England team.

I guess I would slightly disagree when it comes to Pogba. He has been delivering for the national team every now and then, but I found him pretty bad at Manchester United. Bad in the sense that he is not playing his maximum level possible. Of course he is still a good kicker, but when he plays average he isn't the guy to decide a game. Mbappe is so many times more important for France. Argentina I find hard to judge right now. I think that this World Cup is a bit more about luck then it used to be. In the past we had some very balanced team, first and foremost Spain for many years. This year I am not sure, there isn't really a team that is perfectly balanced from the keeper to the offenders. Argentina was often incredibly strong in the offense, but had their blatant weaknesses in the defense.

Nothing special happened - it's a one-game playoff and anyone can win. If you look at the champion's path, it's all about winning on penalties (including over Switzerland which beat France on penalties). I agree about Brazil, Spain is a big question and Argentina is just ridiculous - in my opinion this is a team from the second tier that is next to the group of favorites but is not included in it.

With the hype World Cup has already created. People are getting crazy to get a place in Qatar.
It will be a great opportunity for the business class in Qatar and obviously for the people there. Let's see how they deal their Islamic state protocols and the tourist and players concerns.

I had looked at this list before Paul Pogba was badly injured on his pre-season tour. supercomputer has released the favorite team that will win the world champion Qatar, France and Brazil are the candidates who have the most potential to win the championship than other teams that will compete later in the Qatar World Cup match.

Paul Pogba wasn't the player that made France better, they have a lot of good players and they will definitely keep on being good even when he is injured. Him missing the world cup wasn't a guaranteed thing, but since he is missing games at Juventus, I am sure he was asked to not play during the world cup so he could comeback better to the league, because if he gets better and plays in the world cup and then gets injured there again, it would be a horrible start for his Juventus career considering it is already not that great

Long story short we are not seeing him in world cup not because of injury but also because of injury somehow as well.

This injury wont hurt France at all, Pogba is far from his best form and if he didnt get injured i dont think he would have been in the first 11 players. Also Brazil isnt the favorite because Pogba got injured that i think is just nonsence. France has a big roster and will replace Pogba easily.

It will be like that, VAR will be very helpful for the referee on the field in certain situations. But it comes back to the main problem, which is using VAR itself. Don't let the use of VAR end up being a new controversial one. As a connoisseur of football, of course, I personally will support all the progress.

During the game, a referee some times cannot give the right decision as a result the mistake becomes contradictory. VAR is an important issue in such problems. Who helps to point out what is happen really in the field. Now VAR is an important things to play any match or tournament. It is now used in all kinds of international games. We have already heard that automated offside technology will be used in the Qatar World Cup. Which will make the game more clear to the viewers.

Even use of technology is good thing but still we need some good transparency for this as well VAR is also not perfect and for better use of this we need a referee and another one who can give his opinion very quickly to on ground referee instead of ground go and check replays about his decision here but before any final announcement they both consult and then announces may be this give some better result even having some hassle and extra specialist referee but for avoiding mistakes we need these things otherwise going without this all technology is also having good results for many decades.

But, as many already having their concerns about few decisions like offside then surely they can go for on VAR and then give their decision but for me as we already have three referees it's going okay for all parties.

VAR has many advantages, however I do not like it very much, in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup I did not like the treatment given to the Venezuelan team in one of the most controversial matches, specifically with Peru and Brazil, it was noticeable partiality at its best, and this is something that I did not like, because even though they went to review the VAR, the referee made the most biased decisions and this is something that tarnishes football, so I am in favor of the more technology there is in a football match the corruption and internal agreements that have decreased because we are all witnesses, it is incredible, but even with the VAR there is a trap.

From what has been shown in the French league, it could be said that yes, what happens is that there are players like Pogba who are compactly integrated with the entire team, most of the players on the squad get along with Pogba, Sometimes it is difficult to find a player with the characteristics and characteristics similar to his, however, it is as you say, France has very good players, no player is irreplaceable or essential, they all have substitutions because the team has to move on With or without stars, but it would affect at least the work that Pogba does, but between now and November 20 it is very likely that Pogba will recover.
