2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[mrongoz_imut]

Quite disappointed with the performance from Serbia so far. They were regarded as one of the strongest team from the UEFA confederation, and yet failed to win even one of their first two matches. In the first match they went down against Brazil (and that was despite playing very roughly and resulting in an injury to Neymar). The second match was especially disappointing, as they conceded a draw against Cameroon. Now they have only one match remaining (against Switzerland). If they fail to win that match, then they are out of the world cup.

For now Serbia is at the bottom of the standings, Serbia has only managed to collect one point, Serbia's chances of qualifying for the last 16 are still very wide open when compared to Cameron and Switzerland, because in Serbia's last game against Switzerland, if Serbia manages to beat Switzerland I'm sure Serbia was able to secure a ticket to the last 16, while Cameron's chances of advancing to the last 16 were very difficult because in the last game Cameron faced a difficult match because Cameron faced Brazil, even though Brazil had secured a ticket to the round of 16, Brazil still fielded core players and Brazil is still aiming for victory, in my personal opinion, from the Group G stage, Brazil and Serbia managed to qualify for the round of 16.

It's disappointing that Belgium got defeated by Morocco who we would barely predict to get a win in this game. I also read a statement suppose to be from Kelvin De bryne which he talked about the age level of the current players and said it will be difficult to win the world cup because our players are old, could this be the problem in the team? They will have to struggle toe to toe in their next game against Croatia to gain qualification to the next round.

Belgium is overdependent on Lukaku. And from what I have seen, teams that are dependent on one player rarely performs well in the world cup. On top of that, I watched the initial few minutes of the game. It looked as if the Belgian players were overconfident. The same mistake that Argentina did against Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, the Moroccans were well aware of their weaknesses, and tried their best to play within the limits. Now there is a real chance that Belgium may fail to qualify for the PQF stage.

To be honest, after the performance of Belgium against Morocco, I'm not sure they deserve to pass to the next stage.

At the end of the day, Croatia and Morocco are both undefeated after 2 games, I think they should be the ones that go to the next round.

Belgium will have to go all in with the current leader of the group, Croatia, and I'm not sure they're going to end up winning that match.

But you never know really, and Belgium still can qualify with a draw if Canada wins against Morocco with at least 4 goals...

But you never know really, and Belgium still can qualify with a draw if Canada wins against Morocco with at least 4 goals...

And the possibility of Canada will win against Morocco with 4 goals is really impossible, they're not a club which can score many goals. Morocco isn't a weak club as we can see on their match against Belgium, actually Canada is the weakest club in the group F. Croatia is really a tough club, Belgium will struggling and hard to win, while they must win in this match in order to qualify for the next round.

[Pierre 2]

As we are going to last matches in world cup groups. Tension rises a lot. I am personally expecting Netherlands to win and lead the group and Ecuador being 2nd. Ecuador can beat Senegal in my opinion. But gonna be tough match.
I think in other group England will %100 be able to secure a draw and go next round. Although Iran-USA match is undecided. I feel like USA will win but Iran can be very motivated to play against them. Crazy matches we will watch.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

spain vs. germany. yesterday was a good and interesting duel. before the game i thought that the spain team would win by a small margin.

I thought so too, and I was a little disappointed, especially with the second half, although we must not forget that Germany, even though after two games they are at the bottom of the group, would normally be competing with Spain for first place,

after the game i have to say that the draw is fair.

I agree.

now i hope that spain wins against japan.

I hope it too,

spain :japan 3:1

Hopefully

Belgium can no longer play like they used to play. Their defeat to Morocco was another reminder that the generation of players that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup four years ago are nearing the end of the road. They were disjointed going forward, with Batshuayi and Lukaku ineffective in attack  and no inspiration from the midfield or the defense. I don’t know what is going to happen for qualify to the next round but if Morocco get a draw against Canada, and if Belgium cannot defeat Croatia, then they’ll have to kiss the tournament Goodbye.

Spain vs Germany, last night's match should have belonged to Spain, I bet on Spain. quite an exciting match, considering that both squads are dominated by young players. unfortunately after Morata scored, Spain immediately relaxed their attack. seems like my assumption, Luis Enrique prefers to focus more on defense to maintain their advantage after Morata's goal.

and in the end, Germany was able to get up after Muller was pulled out and replaced by Niclas Fullkrug, Der Panzer was able to equalize for a 1-1 draw. next, Germany has one match remaining. The Panzer team only had one point, they had to win the fight by a landslide score. because Costa Rica also has the chance to qualify for the next round if it can hold Germany to a draw.
So, this remaining match will be very decisive.

my estimate.

Costa Rica vs Germany : 1-2
Japan vs Spain : 1-3

I do not believe that the games will be that close. I get that it was a shocker to have Spain beat 7-0, that was too many goals and people were a bit surprised about it, and I get that it's not going to be easy for Germany to lose again, which leaves an easier level that is realistic.

I think both teams will win with 3-0 or 4-0 difference, that would be more likely, I would literally wager on 3.5 or more difference, doesn't mean it will happen but that's gambling and I think there is a possibility and would do that for both teams as well. I do not see them winning just 2-1 or so, that's too little difference and will probably not happen at all.

Maybe, we don't know, because that game hasn't happened yet. however, there is nothing wrong if you predict it differently. even your predicted scenario, seems more likely, if we refer to the statistics on paper.

Spain and Germany are the favorite teams. however, football is not always based solely on statistics on paper.
in this group E phase, both Spain, Japan, Costa Rica and Germany, have the opportunity to qualify for the next round. even Costa Rica only needs to hold Germany to a draw, with a strategy pattern by playing defense. if the result is a draw, Costa Rica can only hope for Spain to beat Japan, or maybe vice versa.

and keep in mind, the fact that Germany was defeated by Japan 1-2.
personally, I hope Spain and Germany are able to show their best players, they have to score as many goals as possible in the last game of this group phase. however, in this world cup we have been surprised in several matches. it's not impossible if Japan and Costa Rica turn things around to win the match later, even though the probability is very slim. even so, during the 2x45 minute match runs, anything can happen.

Despite being the host nation, the quality of the players in the Qatar national football team are still not on par against big national football teams around the world. Netherlands are having a good chance to finish top of the group in Group A and I think there is a high chance for them to achieve that by beating Qatar today.

[Zanab247]

Senegal still remain my favorite in this game, and they have the capacity to eliminate Ecuador to take a lead in this group A. One thing I like about Senegal strikers, it hard for them to give up in a game without scoring a goal that will give them victory at the end of the game. Senegal will beat Ecuador 3:1 to give hope to their fans that they are coming home with FIFA world cup title after the tournament.

But you never know really, and Belgium still can qualify with a draw if Canada wins against Morocco with at least 4 goals...

You're all analysis are not going to help Belgium for the qualification into next round because in this event they were completely outdated, so they lost and now on verge of exit from group stage with Croatia and Morocco both have fair chance for going into next round which is surely going to be honour for the Morocco because they are doing amazing stuff and have four points from two games with now they can through pass Canada which is having no win from their first two games and Croatia also can handle outdated Belgium in their last game with good quality and performance.

I am really surprised with few team's performance in this event with mostly are not going into next round but still their improvement is amazing and with this development they can do good in future as well because this is going to be good for their future but need to have checked their few weaknesses which can give them better results.

[gabbie2010]

Last match of group A Netherlands 1-0 Qatar and Senegal 0-0 Ecuador as it stand Netherlands will qualify with seven points while Ecuador needed a draw to earn five points for qualification, Senegal needed an outright win to put them for qualification and Qatar is out of the competition already they are playing a consolation match
Edit : Senegal is one nil up honestly the match is a tough match and interesting to wait till the final whistle and know who is qualifying and the team that will be knocked out between the two countries.

Unfortunately the "golden generation" type of thing turned out to be not so golden after all. Belgium is good and all in the football world they have a place but that doesn't mean that they are that great anymore, they are showing signs of regression and I am expecting that they will probably stay like this for a while longer.

They need a better generation that is controlled or managed by a better coach as well. So far they have tried their best with this De Bruyne Lukaku generation but unfortunately nothing came out of it. I am not saying they should go for a world cup title, but at least not be as bad as losing to Morocco, they need to be a lot better.

For now Serbia is at the bottom of the standings, Serbia has only managed to collect one point, Serbia's chances of qualifying for the last 16 are still very wide open when compared to Cameron and Switzerland, because in Serbia's last game against Switzerland, if Serbia manages to beat Switzerland I'm sure Serbia was able to secure a ticket to the last 16, while Cameron's chances of advancing to the last 16 were very difficult because in the last game Cameron faced a difficult match because Cameron faced Brazil, even though Brazil had secured a ticket to the round of 16, Brazil still fielded core players and Brazil is still aiming for victory, in my personal opinion, from the Group G stage, Brazil and Serbia managed to qualify for the round of 16.

Serbia's performance was not bad in this event but sadly still they are at the bottom of their group with just one point, and now they have last match against Switzerland which is having against Cameroon which is going to be vital for them because their performance against Brazil was also good so with this most chances they can go into next round with need just a draw, but Serbia will try their best for having positive result and end with full three points which is also possible.

They were playing good against Cameroon but in second half two back to back goals give them shocking draw, and now they have poor time but here as we all know Brazil is already qualified for the next round, so they can play with weak side against Cameroon which can help them for having points and chance for the qualification now we have to wait for the all result.

Senegal was able to beat Ecuador 2-1 and made it to the next round, I am sorry for Ecuador as they played well and they deserved to move forward, however it turned out their group was harder than expected as the only weak team was the host, however Senegal did very well too and and only lost against the Netherlands and they will most likely face England during the next round, and while England is obviously the favorite it is not as if they do not have a skill level high enough to compete.

I think that was a reasonable result.

Senegal was clearly the better team on the field, and even though Ecuador was playing well, Senegal was just better.

Maybe even a 3 - 1 victory would have been more representative of what we saw in the game. Senegal is looking very good to be honest, they will likely advance far in the tournament.

In that match, with two leading goals they would have secured that advantage better and completed that match with three points. They wasted that very great advantage and also an opportunity to finish that group in the second position. Wasting it and having only one point before the third match is not too good for them. They can keep fighting in the last match of the group but their chance should be bigger considerably if they win against Cameroon days ago.

They were playing good against Cameroon but in second half two back to back goals give them shocking draw, and now they have poor time but here as we all know Brazil is already qualified for the next round, so they can play with weak side against Cameroon which can help them for having points and chance for the qualification now we have to wait for the all result.

They had poor defense after they scored a third goal and led 3 - 1. Cameroon have strong mentality to come back and nail the match with one point but Serbia should do it better. Now they still have chance but they will have to rely on performances of two other teams at the last match day especially Brazil. They need Brazil to beat Cameroon but also they must complete their own task, beating Switzerland first.

I am keen on a draw between Brazil and Cameroon so it means if Serbia can win against Switzerland, they are qualified for round 16.

Belgium will need to wait for the next set of stars that will represent the country. Their set of player now are old and the younger players aren’t of the quality.  2018 was different, they had a better chance. Hazard was a different beast back then, Axel was boxing the midfield in his days, Jan and Toby were at the peak of their careers as defenders. De Bruyne was killing it back then. Now all that’s gone. They’ll have to bring in a better manager that knows how to improve young players to spark the team.

Senegal will beat Ecuador 3:1 to give hope to their fans that they are coming home with FIFA world cup title after the tournament.

at first I didn't know whose players the Sinegal National Team was filled with. Why do I now like the Sinegal National Team there because there was a sadio mane in it, at first I liked sadio mane because he was in Liverpool at the time, then he moved to Bayern Munich but I'm not too disappointed because I like in terms of his game he doesn't talk too much but always tries to score goals for the club he defends. I was disappointed that he suffered a very serious injury at that time which resulted in him not being able to play for his country, namely Sinegal. The Sinegal national team isn't too bad. I'm optimistic that the Sinegal national team will qualify in the group phase. This is the sweetest gift for Sadio Mane. Now he can only sit quietly watching his friends play to defend their own country.

After being able to win the game with Ecuador. Senegal is already in the position they want, which is in a position that makes it qualify for the next round in the world cup this time, but I'm not so sure that Senegal will last long in the next round because several other national teams that have qualified for the next round are also quite good and always playing very well in every game in the group stage.
