2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[boltz]

Belgium is still 2nd best team in the world right now in ranks so I personally I bet on them to reach at least semi-finals in Qatar as this World Cup is a "last dance" for so many teams and players so I really hope we will see the best from each of them but Belgium shouldn't be underestimate as they have x17odds to win which is kinda hard to reach but semi-finals should be achieveable.

Also if I take a closer look on Germany squad...man...Die Mannschaft looks SUPER dangerous with full of young talents that are hungry to prove themselves on the biggest tournament in football and this should be my 2nd team that have a big chance to reach semi-finals.

Am thinking that England might be the suprise package in this year tournament, because most of this players have been together for years now and have blend well,with good understanding,that's why they make it to the finals at Euros, sterling and Harry Kane have been playing together in the starting eleven for years now up to eight years now, when you consider the talented attackers in the England set up you won't doubt the potential, a team that consists of Saka,foden,Rashford and greelish are among the attacking unit.

I like how Argentina is so much passionate about this World Cup jazz because of Lionel Messi. It’s like they are basically believing that they have to play well because of Lionel Messi. And the Argentina squad also understands very well how important this World Cup is for Lionel Messi. So, it feels like they are also going to try the best that they can for Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi is no longer a young player even though Argentina still has good hopes for him in this world cup, but I have a little doubt about Lionel Messi's performance if other players can't give him the best pass every game. And I still have even more faith in Brazil who will make a very good surprise at the world cup this time because the Brazilian squad is also not in a bad state at the moment.

Portugal team is also quite good going into this World Cup. But I don’t think Portugal team is very balanced. And yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously not in the form currently. So, that might be a problem for them.

Portugal is also an opponent to be reckoned with even though Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have the slick performance that was seen in his youth, but Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who can still be relied on because one or two good surprises are still capable of being created by him in matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo is always a player who, even if he doesn't do much on the field, will force the opponent to have one or two players attentive to him, and that can free other players from the team. If the squad gets used to having a game line without always focusing on Ronaldo, the team will present very good football, as Portugal has very good players.

I'm also not very confident in Portugal, although I think they have some of the best players in the World Cup. We'll see how the coach will manage to unite them and get them to play. If you don't play thinking about a draw, but thinking about winning, you can go far.

There is this biased and obviously unlikely scenario in everyone's minds and Piers Morgan already asked as well, which is a dream come true for a few generations, to be honest but it will %99 not going to happen.

That is why all this talk about Argentina, all this talk about Portugal and Argentina could be the only one that has a realistic chance to win, Portugal really doesn't have that, to be honest, but you never know in this type of tournament stuff, anyone can be eliminated. So we just have to wait and see.

The dream is this;

Portugal vs Argentina World Cup Finals

Ronaldo or Messi becomes a World Cup winner

They play it out for 90 minutes, maybe even extra time to 120 minutes, and they battle it out, and finally one of them wins the world cup before they retire. Imagine how many millions of people would watch that final, can you imagine. I can say as much as it would be the most watched thing on television ever, in the history of television, this would be the most watched thing EVER!

I am quite amazed with the performance of Qatar when I browsed through their previous matches played against quite a number of big teams and they are able to avoid being defeated in those matches. But since those results are being played in friendly matches, I do not really feel confident about Qatar being able to launch any surprise victory in Group A despite being the host nation.

The World Cup is a huge tournament which are only held once in four years time, and the players of Ecuador had fought so hard in order to qualify for this tournament, I guess they will surely put in their best effort in this upcoming match against Qatar in Group A today, I think Ecuador will be able to beat the host nation Qatar.

[Daniel91]

For Messi, this World Cup is his last chance to win the title of world champion and become an Argentine legend for all time, in the rank of Maradona, but his chances are not great because I don't see Argentina as the main favorite of the competition.
In my opinion, the main favorites of this world championship are Brazil and France.
Personally, I think that Messi and Argentina were at their peak in 2014 at the World Cup in Brazil, when they unfortunately lost to Germany in the final.
At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they were very bad and barely qualified for the knockout stage of the competition.
It will be very difficult for them to repeat the result from 2014 at this world cup.

Definitely this would be the last world cup Messi and Ronaldo will be featuring in so I expect they will put in energy and devotion to making it memorable. I read a statement by Ronaldo also that if Portugal win the world cup he will retire. I know both players will want to give everything to seeing their nations successful but I doubt any would win it this time even with the much expections and devotion because their are better teams also competing for same trophy.

I believe that a lot of neutral fans will also support Argentina because of Messi, because many want Messi to end his great career with the title of world champion.
Realistically, it will be very difficult to achieve because this World Championship is very uncertain with a lot of strong teams like Brazil, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium etc.
That's why I'm sorry that they didn't succeed in 2014 at the World Cup in Brazil, when Messi was younger and at the peak of his strength, and the team was stronger than today.
In my opinion, Portugal has less chance than Argentina because Ronaldo is not playing at all at the moment, he has a lot of problems with the club and the question is in what condition will he come to this World Cup.

This would of course be everyone's dream and I agree that it would be the most watched thing ever in history, and the highlights of the game on youtube could pass all the youtube videos with tens of billions of views. However, Portugal is not that strong anymore unfortunately :/ they are seen as 7th or 8th or 9th in most oddmakers websites as the likely to win the cup, which means it's lower chance.

However, this is football and I agree that it may happen. If it really happens, I would stop whatever I am doing, and make that day a special day, it would be like an "important day of my life" type of thing for so many people, like a wedding, or graduation or something, it would be something I will remember 40 years later when I am an old person, such a wonderful think <3

If Argentina and Portugal play the final of the World Cup in Qatar, it will be the history of history. Because both teams have the two best players in the world, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It is surprising to think about that imaginary final game. Although the chances of this happening are very low, it wouldn't be bad if it happened.

But indeed this is only one of many possibilities that happened because indeed I doubt even Portugal can be in the final even though Argentina is still possible.
Even though Portugal currently has some good players who are turning to Ronaldo, but indeed being in the final with the condition of other teams that still have a big chance, it's obviously a little difficult.
This will only be a dream will not come true if we look at it rationally.

I agree that this would be the most watched thing ever, even in this opening of the world cup, if the game was Portugal Vs Argentina I am absolutely sure that all TV channels would be commenting on it and people would be attentive to the game, but unfortunately we had than watching this Qatar vs Ecuador game which was such an annoying game that I couldn't wait for the game to end, honestly these Fifa guys need to start changing the opening game criteria, it's boring to watch a boring game precisely in the opening of world Cup

This will only be a dream will not come true if we look at it rationally.

portugal is a very strong team, they have chances of reaching the world cup final, if we look at the world cup and the kind of thing that many big teams destroy and in the final there will always be a team considered small against a strong team, why portugal still has a chance to reach the world cup final


Qatar 0 - 2 equator

finally this game ended, it was a very boring game to watch, honestly I kept thinking: is this the level of qatar? the guys don't know how to play, they're just in the world cup because they'll organize it, if they had to play in the qualifiers they wouldn't have any chance and with this defeat it's clear that they won't have a chance to pass to another phase, they're probably the worst team for this world cup, I also think that this is one of the worst world cups ever organized, I didn't see anything stunning, we'll see what the next games will be like, but in terms of music and animation, for me it didn't exceed expectations

Anything that has to do with Portugal and Argentina is something that can happen, the speculations could be many, particularly in this case I believe that Argentina may have many possibilities of becoming the biggest favourite, however I think that for now we should not weigh like that They haven't played yet, it's normal that the magnifying glass in the world is on those teams, on the one hand Messi, on the other hand CR7, I wouldn't know who could win there, I think both players deserve it, but for the moment they've been happening I think that for me the one who deserves it the most is CR7, however that does not detract from what Messi deserves either.

The case of CR7 is something very particular, I feel that the things he has had to deal with are very strong, in the World Cup you can forget a bit about the problem that exists with the clubs, but it is not a problem to dismiss.

Here more or less can be a very brief description of how Portugal can advance to the Round of 16:

Extremely detailed scenarios describing if, and how, Portugal can qualify for the next round of the 2022 World Cup.

Well, the speculations will be above all in CR7, because he is a player who has had a lot of activity in terms of generating news, anything has an impact on him, in this world cup can the ocsa be against or in favor? We don't know, I know that the teams that played him are quite strong.

[jakdanyel]

The world cup has officially started. The host Qatar lost. Ecuador won 2-0 with goals from their captain Enner Valencia. The star of Fenerbahce was signaling with the goals he scored this season. He also became the star of the first match in the world cup and proved to the world his great performance this season.

[Pulsar77]

Ecuador had a really dominant game just as most people expected and got a comfortable win by 2-0. Qatar are the weakest team of their group so I don't expect them to get even one point against any team. Senegal and Netherlands should be able to have easy wins as well. If Qatar won this match then people would doubt this match seriously by the way. Because we all have heard about news saying that Qatar tried a bribe attempt to secure a win in this match.

Tomorrow my favourite sides are Netherlands, England and Wales. Netherlands have a more difficult opponent like Senegal maybe but I still expect them to perform solid. They have made a big progress these days as they are stronger than their old look now. England have an easy job to do. Wales are seen as the underdog by bookmakers but I still think they can do better than the USA. I expect a victory by a one-goal gap.

Maybe this final will be very interesting huh? Not only because these two countries have strong squads, but also the 2 best soccer players of their time, namely CR7 and LM10. Here we will see the old matches of the two men in different places. And it will probably be very interesting because it could be, this is the last World Cup for them before they retired from playing football. Even though their glory seems to have stopped, their names are still big.

They never said they will officially retire but they will have a certain age that won't give them the chance to shine again but I do hope we will see the best from them as well because both Cr7 and LM10 deserve to win the World Cup. Regarding both of them making the finals...uhm , sounds great , sounds like the perfect final but on same time, I'm gonna keep it realistic for now and Brasil is really a force that looks unbeatable right now.

He also became the star of the first match in the world cup and proved to the world his great performance this season.

Of course Enner Valencia is the first player to score 2 goals in one match. But we will also see the first round for all the teams. So that it will give birth to other great players. Enner Valencia is the winner of Ecuador. Even though the Ecuador team started the match against the hosts, Qatar is not a strong country at the moment, considering that Qatar is still playing in the world cup for the first time.

In addition, Qatar is also a part of the Asian continent, of course, the level of football development is much lower than that of Europe and South America. As long as the world cup was held, only South Korea had ever made it to the semifinals. During the world cup, only South Korea had made it to the semifinals in 2002.

The official World Cup started and I was gifted with a very nice match. Many fantasized about this match. Everyone thought that Qatar would start the drama in this match for their country to win.But it was completely wrong no corruption no drama was acceptable here Qatar lost 2 - 0 against a very good game.

I think that Lionel Messi is a great player and he still has a lot left in him. This is going to be his last World Cup so he’s determined to try his finest to give his 100% for his national team. He has always been criticized for not having stellar performances with his national team. This is a good time to prove people wrong. I think even though Lionel Messi is not at the peak of his powers, he is still a capable player and has a lot to offer the team.

On the other hand, there is a lot going on with Cristiano Ronaldo right now. He is also not in a very healthy mental state right now. This was also going to be the last World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo. But the way things are shaping up I don't think Portugal is likely to do very well in this World Cup.
