FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

I really agree with you for Croatia and Argentina , I have full support on Croatia team. Croatia players are good, they will beat Argentina the way they beat Brazil. Croatia defense is strong that was why Brazil could not just penetrate to score.

Thanks for the support buddy! I have to ask one thing though, how come you didn't include Croatia yet again in the poll? Or you are maybe superstitious and think that you brought us luck last time when you didn't include us, so you decided to do it all over again? If yes, please keep it as it is!

I think Croatia might have been a bit lucky because Brazil lowered their tempo when they already had a goal, even though there was still the second half in extra time but Brazil just played like it was just to kill time without any pressure being exerted. Therefore, when Brazil lost momentum, the Croatian players made a quick counterattack until they managed to score a goal in the end.

You actually contradicted yourself there, as if Brazil relieved pressure and didn't attack Croatia, how they conceded goal from counterattack?. Their team wasn't smart, and instead playing defensively for the last 15 minutes, they allowed themselves to have 6-7 players left behind when our team started the counterattack that ended up with the equalizer. Even Neymar was pissed at his team for not staying behind and playing it more defensively at the end.

This year's world cup clearly gave a big surprise because Morocco entered the semi-finals, when the 2018 world cup, Morocco had to go straight home because in the group stage they were unable to win even once, in contrast to the current group stage, Morocco was able to win the group.
will morocco make a surprise return and be able to beat defending champion france to appear in the final? of course there is high motivation from all the players for that because they are only one step away from getting it. Let's wait for their match, for sure it will be presented as the match we have been waiting for, because France also wants to win so that they can repeat themselves as World Champion.

Morocco are about to break record to win this world cup title, because France cannot stop them in this semi final but they can only make the game tough for them but they can't stop Morocco not to qualify for final. Morocco defenders will never allow France strikers to have their way into their goalpost than to block all their ways through out the game.  Morocco will beat France 1:2 because no matter how struggle the France may struggle on Wednesday, Morocco will be the winner.

[MatthewLM]

Morocco have already had a successful World Cup and they will fight with all things they have and the best they can do in semi final match. They have less pressure than France because with France, only a trophy can be considered as a successful World Cup for them.

I believe France will beat Morocco, if not in 90 minutes, it will be in 120 minutes. The semi final match will not go to penalty.

Of course, France and Argentina are the many bets that will ensure they will qualify for the 2022 Final. But let's not forget that Croatia in 2018 they are finalists, as long as Modric is still fit to belittle Croatia is wrong. Then Morocco, they played football with passion, hard work, teamwork so they were able to reach this semi-final. Moroccan strength is also a lot, the victory in the previous phase caused the gambler to fail to win the bet.

I also think that France and Argentina are the strongest of the four teams that are confirmed for the semi-finals here.  And the remaining two teams, Morocco and Croatia, are a little less strong.  Because compared to Morocco this is their first semi-final World Cup if they can perform well then they can go to the final again like in the past.  But there is a lot of reliance on good performance and luck.

Sometimes a strong team loses to a weak team. But we saw this in the first match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Here the four teams that survive for the semi-finals are very strong. No team can be called less powerful. However, it will be seen on the playing field which 2 teams can pass to the final. Argentina is very strong France is very strong but we want to see on the field which team is stronger.

Yes, I was shocked to see the match that day. What game did Argentina play that day? Argentina lost the match with Saudi Arabia that day, but at first I thought that Saudi Arabia would lose the match by 5 goals to Argentina, but after some time, I saw that Argentina started playing very badly.  I didn't fully enjoy the game in anger.

Do not predict in such way because the tough teams we think that will go to finals has been evicted from the race, because many people predicted that the finals will be with Brazil and Portugal but finally this two teams has run out of the race of finals, although Morocco is a strong team that's being participating well in this contest but i find out that the competition is not what someone can predict that Morocco will France with full assurance, besides it's France that everyone is expecting to win Morocco.

After watching the World Cup so far and seeing how each team has progressed to this point, I will not consider one team to be superior to the other. The World Cup has been full of surprises, with top teams being eliminated by less powerful opponents. Only when the game occurs or is in progress can we assume or predict who will qualify for the finals. Nothing else can be said about it until then.

That should be your current prediction that Morocco will qualify to  final  of this world cup but I can't say for sure what will occur because I know that France is a powerful national team with dangerous attackers, and despite Morocco's strong defense, the game won't be easy for either team.But to be sincerely , Morocco has performed above and beyond everyone's expectations in this on going world cup; the team really deserves to be qualify for final. I never thought Morocco would go to the quarterfinals, much less the semifinals. I hope they do well in their next match against France.

[Gozie51]

Only when the game occurs or is in progress can we assume or predict who will qualify for the finals. Nothing else can be said about it until then.

Even at the games being played you can not predict exactly or correctly what will happen like in Spain and Morocco game, Spain took the lead and only for Morocco to equalise by the late minutes of the game before dragging Spain into extra time. The matches of this world cup are very much unpredictable with what we have seen so far. The semi finals will not be different from the way the game have gone. France, Croatia, Argentina have all played in the finals of the world cup only Morocco is playing at the semi finals for the first time so I still expect surprises from them as they have nothing to lose, no ego to fan.

Now all the teams are stronger ones who made it till here and are now fighting for the trophy . Now few games are left behind and All 4 will struggle and fight for the fifa world cup trophy. Nothing can be predicted or said now as anything can happen  now and any team can win or loose .

A favorite name in the football world is Lionel Messi who is currently 35 years old. In the next four years, he will be 39 years old. So, naturally, the game of this Argentine superstar in the next World Cup is uncertain. Therefore, the question is peeking in many of Messi fans, is Messi playing the last World Cup in Qatar? Lionel Messi has not yet said anything about this. However, his mentor Argentina team coach Lionel Scaloni said, let's see if he continues to play for the national team. Then we can be sure. Tomorrow Argentina will face Croatia in the semi-finals of the World Cup. If Argentina win this match they will reach in the final. It is impossible to say for certainly what will happen in the final. But whoever the opponent is, that will be more stronger.

Sometimes teams evolve together, and sometimes they don't . You could have the greatest players in your team but if they have no idea how to play together, then they will lose.

England faced France so their job was harder, but it is no doubt that they had better team, on the other hand Brazil faced Croatia and had a better team too but they all lost before Morocco. Because, they had worse team? Of course not, they had a much better team but they weren't really a team, they were just a bunch of great players put together and told to play, and that's why they lost. Morocco on the other hand is a close knit team that played much better together and knew what they should do.

Messi still performing greatly at his age in the world cup is truly admirable and in my opinion he is the best player in history this is a golden chance for him to win the world cup we dont know what will happen in four years so i think this is his last chance its now or never, the road is still long all the remaining teams are no  push over and if the other argentina players do not step up to the task it will be hard even for messi to carry them to the title.

[gagux123]

Game the is over they still talk about what Neymar said and the reason why they were not listening to him is still unknown to me, many people believe Croatia didn't do well enough to win that game but they had their own strategy to focus on counterattacks and use their opportunities.
This one was the most tragic moment of this world cup for me, the Brazilian players were very good and Neymar performed well enough to win this game.

No, no way, Croatia played extremely well and it was their credit. The Croatians may not have the technique that the Brazilian team has, but they knew how to manage the game and the Brazilian players were "lost" on the field. The Croatian coach took out defensive players and put in offensive players, they had the opportunity to counterattack and they took advantage of that chance. The Croatians played as if it were the last game of their lives, Modric was a genius, he managed the team, and, incredible as it may seem, he is already 37 years old.

I believe something similar happened with Spain and Portugal, I'm not discrediting Morocco, but the Portuguese and Spanish teams have much more experience and technique than the Moroccans.
Marroco managed to stand out and took advantage of the mistakes of his opponents.

I think playing at the age of 39 of course performance will also decrease, especially since the world cup is often favored by young players, it's already impossible for Messi to play in the world cup again, if Argentina wins this year's world cup it looks like he will retire and make this world cup last for him

Yea,you are write no team is a weak team in a semi final, Morocco did very in reaching this position they are now, they came out from a group were you expect them to be the weakest team in the group but still dey top their group stages, Croatia has prove in recent years to be a footballing nation and they deserve all they are getting, but they will always seems underdog when playing against teams like France and Argentina,so I want France and and Argentina to go through

I am still very surprised how Morocco is able to reach semi final which calls for a big celebration. This team is doing wonderfully well and I hope to see them in the final. This world cup is just very unpredictable to us because the team that are out are very good and are unexpectedly leaving the world cup for no reasons.
I want to see Morocco and Croatia in the final round which I know it's possible if the two countries works hard.

There’s a rumor about the retirement of Messi and we cannot leave that option for him since we already know, Messi made a huge name in Football and maybe its time now to train the younger generation and build someone that are more talented. If Argentina win the world cup, most probably they will be more competitive in the next four years even if Messi is not part of the team anymore.

This is the most surprising world cup that I have ever watched, teams you never expect to perform well are the teams leading and making stars in this top teams to cry.  We still have more surprises to see in the quarter-finals,  no one knows what will be the result of the games.

Modric was a true leader and an example of a player. I really admired his leadership and just football skills. Croatia played great and they deserved it but I think another reason is Brazilians were actually bad. South American teams especially but mostly every big team played worse than expected. This can be because the defences are getting much much better than even 5 years ago, but I also think it is because national teams are generally getting bad. Everybody plays for their clubs much more willingly than the national teams. That is why Brazil was also much worse than expected and they were beaten by a much weaker team.

Football is unpredictable game so that is why if you are predicting about football make sure that you know the calibre or the kind of players that is in that particular team because if you check in this FIFA world cup many countries that we expected to be leading are the countries that have been losing and it has been cutting some people's game and predictions goes wrong so right now it is better to just predict the game under assumption not with seriousness

You should not be surprised of Morocco being the final, they worked very well to win Portugal which nobody believe that Morocco with David Portugal in this competition or contest, so I believe that Morocco with Ed strategies can I swear defeat France but many people alimentum or saying that Morocco will not win France, but the performance of Morocco is what makes some people continue to be speaking to them positively believing that they will defeat France as they defeated Portugal which the almighty is Ronaldo we are involved in the team of Portugal

All the games that have been played this time have been different. Because this time all the teams tried to do better, but not all of them were successful. But what I saw is that there are some teams who have always done well, but there is no benefit.  The good teams have left the World Cup now only 4 teams are left from here two more teams will be eliminated and 2 teams will be ready to play the finals.
