⚽ FIFA World Cup 2022: Tournament Discussion Thread for Qatar 2022

RESULTS:

England 5-0 San Marino   

A good result for the English side, it was a night to remember for Chelsea stars, they contributed 85% to the goals.This is the only place the lion roars, a team full of world-class players but hit below par everytime you put them up on the betslip. The English side is not among my top 5 team. Congratulations to Watkins; first call up, first goal. My EPL young star of the season for me

Germany 3-0 Iceland   

A good result against a compact and difficult side to play but I don't still trust this Germany side, they are having a bad times.

@JollyGood suddenly I feel like a fool for thinking that England could be easily beaten, and it seems that I grossly underestimated them. Furthermore if they keep on scoring goals like these then, I may eventually consider them to be one of the strongest contenders for winning the World Cup.

England has a really weak group and it should be no problem for them qualifying for the World Cup.This can cause us to think that England is really strong but it is not the truth as no strong clashes for England in this group.We should wait the group stages and see the true strength of England.

If Indonesia could qualify (just dreaming) 

Indonesian football not growing but more shrinking from year to year, and current qualification results 5 lose  . But, for ASEAN team, I am quite surprised by the strength of Vietnam in the last few years, in fact, playing one group with Indonesia, they are become an ASEAN team that successfully plays without defeat.

Yes, you are right. It seems that England will have no difficulty in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, because of the other 5 teams in Group I, only Poland that has a level close to England. So there is a possibility that this qualifying round will be used by Gareth Southgate to try various strategies and strengthen England's performance.

I was surprised to see Spain actually losing through the first half and second half to Georgia in a 1-0 game. It felt like Spain was out to waste people's bets today, which they would have actually done should they have ended this game in a draw but the Spanish team is very capable for a win and just now, they added another goal to end the game in a 1-2 win for Spain.
Denmark almost numbered the entire Moldova team today. Just 3 more goals and the entire team would have taken 1 goal each and supposing there was more time, I'm sure they would have scored 11+ goals. 8 goals in total, very embarrassing.

[Joca97]

Spain won the match today but shouldnt have won it,they are playing really bad lately,a draw vs Greece and now they bearly won in the additonal time i think betting on Spain is a big IF now. Plus there was a crowd in the stands witch is a really good sign.

~snip
Serbia vs Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo was sure his injury time shot was over the line but the game ended 2-2-

it was over the line, but nevertheless, referee said it was not
with that in mind, it is not that goal that was best news for Serbia, it was result in Ireland, where home team pressed both feet on the brake and have 0 points from two matches, so Serbia and Portugal are already pretty fine to qualify if Azerbaijan or Luxembourg are not going wild, and try to qualify themselves, Ireland is now far away from that point

@JollyGood, During this pandemic, the world of sports, especially football, fell several percent from before, this was due to the absence of spectators in the stadium, much different from before the corona spread around the world.

Interestingly, the Qatari Government said for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which took place later, it would cooperate with (WHO) in dealing with coronavirus vaccinations equally and fairly, the goal is that the audience can watch the FIFA World Cup live this time with the maximum and fair audience, With Qatar Government policies like this, it can inspire every player and also for the match club this time.

I will continue to follow the progress of this FIFA World Cup which is being held in Qatar, although there are some such as the US being delayed, however, with the involvement of a good team / group in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualification, this could invite an international to the game this time, which obviously looks interesting and excited.

[JollyGood]

The one thing that could still happen is that the tournament might not get started if a new variant of COVID-19 starts spreading around the time the World Cup starts. Anything is possible including the cancellation of the tournament midway through if some of he players test positive.

I am not entirely convinced it will go ahead on time in Qatar unless there are contingency plans. Maybe FIFA and Qatar will agree to allow some games to take place in neighbouring countries if problems arise.

The Arabs usually does things better and they will be fully prepared for the event even if it means a new strain of virus is giving them the challenge. UAE have conducted UFC events successfully and Qatar is another rich country who can take care of things even in a bubble. Their plan will be to vaccinate everyone but even if there is a new strain of virus i am certain that they will be able to conduct the tournament as scheduled.

Belgium vs Belarus   

For betters, the Belgium tie is one that a lot of people would relish and want to bet on; Romelu Lukaku is firing on all cylinders for both club and country and this tie sets in to the kind of matches he cherishes; Belgium win and Lukaku to score is what i would go for. I predict Belgium 4 - 1 Belarus

[JollyGood]

I will wait for the result to come in then see if you were correct with your 4-1 

I think Belgium should win the game comfortably
