FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

In Brazil vs South Korea, I don't predict anything other than a convincing Brazil win. There have been no surprises in the matches of the knockout stage of the World Cup so far, and today I also bet on the favorites. It's hard for me to pick a favorite in the current match, Japan vs Croatia. It is currently tied 1-1 and promotion is an open question.

Yes croatia vs japan game was really tough to predict i think croatia has a slight edge but if japan manage to resist in the extra time the penalties will determine who was the most mentally ready, as for brazil i think it will be an easy win for them the knock out stage is really tough and its hard to see favourite teams knocked out.

According to some predictions of the line-up that I read from several sources. it seems, Neymar will be played in this match. and I hope, Neymar really has fully recovered. on paper, south Korea is not a strong team. however, Brazil should not underestimate this one opponent. In fact, South Korea was able to keep up and provide fierce resistance against Portugal. national teams like South Korea and Japan are not teams that give up easily, they have high spirits and fighting power and never give up. even so, I hope Richarlison and his friends are able to score at least 3 goals in this match.

as I predicted, the Japan vs Croatia match will be tough. 2x45 minutes have ended with a score of 1-1, is Japan able to win the battle to the end, let's wait.

Brazil no doubt is a strong team but they should never underestimate the opponent as we have seen the game recently how these two teams Croatia and Japan fought till the end is commendable,  penalties were given to decide the winner of this game so those who come here in super 16 they are here to win the trophy.  So give your best.

For some reason when talking about Senegal, it can't forget Sadio Mane, maybe if Mane plays the appearance of Senegal will be better than what they show yesterday, before England's first goal was created, they were able to compensate for the game but the goal really changed their game and the defense of the Senegal being very easy to break down. So far the favorite team won the match but hoped that there would be a surprise like in the group phase

since the early minutes of the match Senegal played well but unfortunately when they conceded 2 goals at the end of the first half made their game in the second half go awry.
actually this is a natural defeat when you see the depth of the squad that these two teams have, England is superior in every line.
and Senegal's struggles have been pretty good so far.

maybe the factor of Sadio Mane's absence has a little effect on the strength of the Senegal team but I think even if he is there it will still be difficult against England who have great players on all fronts.

the two round of 16 matches that took place yesterday were no surprises in my opinion, England deserved to win as well as France.
the large number of goals that occurred made this Qatar world cup match even more interesting.

They didn't really play all that well if you ask me, no part of the game at all. England just dominated very harshly and that was the case for them for a long time. I am not guessing that Senegal had any intention of winning neither, they knew what they were going against and that is why I believe that we are not going to see anything that shocking like Senegal beating and they knew it and that's why we got this result.

In no part of the game has it ever looked like they had a sliver of a chance, it was always impossible for them and it is a good bye to them, glad at least that they got out of the group stages without Mane, that's a relief to say the least.

Brazil and South Korea head to head. But the brazilian has scored 4 goals and South korean player moral is down.
there is joy on Brazilian players face already and - South korea should at least score a goal or two to be defeated with honour

What a sad day for south Korean player for being losing the match with 4 goal  - I assume Brazil will go to 5 goals.
But I feel sorry for South Korea - they will lose the match with huge margin. NOw it's half time - the south korean team should come back with great zeal.

[püsür]

England team is destroying senegal 3 0 and only five minutes until the end, the first half hour was tough but after scoring the first goal the game became much easier, harry kane scored his first goal in this world cup and maybe that will wake him up because the team will need him especially in the quarter final against france which will be a really tough game.

England is too strong for Senegal to think they win the game.i think this is the point Senegal can reach for the world cup, they tried their best to play the best they can show out this world cup. Senegal has really done welll in performance in the world cup.

They were more lax in this match, unlike the other big-name team Netherlands he faced in the cup. They did not do justice to the quality of the staff. I was expecting them to beat them and eliminate them since they were wrong for Ecuador in terms of squad structure. but while watching the match today, I couldn't help saying "Ecuador would have put forward a more competitive performance in this match". The difference would be 1 instead of 3, but the British would still tour, of course. But as I said - although not Sadio mane - senegal is a pretty good team in terms of squad quality. Their last performance that gave up from the beginning did not suit them at all. When they took the field, they seemed to be convinced that they could not eliminate England anyway.

I can't say that I'm surprised with the current score of the Brazil - South Korea match. Because South Korea knew what was coming for them certainly. They were just going to do their best at defending and try to find some opportunities by counter attacks. However Brazil haven't even let them do this so far. After leaving 36 minutes behind in the match the score was already 4-0. They were all comfortable goals for Brazil side and this score could have been at least 7-0 or 8-0 in the same half also.

Now it is time for Brazil to play a game with low tempo. I was expecting Tite to sub off some crucial names for the team at the beginning of the second half actually but he hasn't yet. It is important for him to keep his players as energetic as possible for their next match. He should keep especially important players away from injuries also.

There is nothing to do when the opponent is Brazil. Yet they tried to resist the opposition. The way Brazil scored in the first half, it seemed that Brazil could add some more goals in the second half. But in the end it didn't happen anymore. Instead, Brazil conceded a goal. I think it's a consolation for South Korea that they managed to score a goal. But that goal was really worth watching. Anyway, since it's the knock out stage, there is no way for South Korea but leave. South Korea has won a lot of praise in the World Cup in this long run.

who would have thought that Brazil was defeated 1-0 by Cameroon but won 4-1 from South Korea. So far, many surprising things have kept popping up at the Qatar World Cup this time

Brazil is a great team, compact and very systematic. although there is still little doubt whether they will be able to continue to advance to the final, they are slowly showing extraordinary quality with Neymar playing as a starter

[Ratash]

Easy win today for brazil they managed to seal the deal in the first half by scoring four goals it was good that neymar come back and managed to score this will surely boost the players moral and will make the team stronger next they will face croatia and they are already a huge favourite i think they will get past them as well but in the semi finals they will either face argentina or netherland that would be a more challenging game.

[nullama]

England vs France will be an interesting match.

I think whoever wins that will end up in the final, against Brazil.

I can see Argentina winning against Netherlands, only to lose against Brazil.

On the other bracket I can see Portugal advancing only to be stopped by France (or England).

So my final prediction would be Brazil vs (France or England).

If I have to pick one, it would be Brazil vs France.

What an epic final that would be.

[snipie]

I have heard that Sterling had to go back to his home as a burglary incident happened there. According to news, his family was also in the house while this was happening. It must be a really scary experience for certain so I understand why Sterling wanted to be with them quickly. Sterling didn't play in England's last two games already and Foden did just a fascinating job meanwhile. Therefore Southgate must still be comfortable about his choices for the starting eleven of this game.

Ben White has also left the team for personal reasons but Maguire has done good from the beginning to this point. I would have never thought that I would say positive things about Maguire. 

Fortunately for Maguire or else no one will give him a second chance.
Robbery has become a serious problem for players since it isn't the first time happening.. I remember it happened also for Spain and France.

Brazil didn't require a lot of effort to win. It is a team that should play the final game unless Argentina surprise them.

Brazil looked shaky against Serbia, and they lost their match against Cameroon. So it is not like they are invincible. The quarter-final match is going to be against one of the weakest opponents in QF stage (Croatia). Although Croatia has a history of making big upsets, I am not expecting much from them this time around. But the semi-final match is where the sparks are going to fly. If both Argentina and Brazil wins their QF matches, then the first semi will be between these two teams. And that is going to be an epic clash.

Brazil's team is very strong. But they are also often wrong. Brazil's performances against Serbia and Cameroon were not very good. So there is no reason to say that a win against Brazil is impossible. Croatia may not be as strong as Brazil. But Croatia is very tricky. And their defense is strong. If Croatia somehow managed to score the first goal of the match against Brazil. Then it will be difficult for Brazil to win this match. But Brazil is an experienced team. They look like they will do no wrong against Croatia. Maybe Brazil and Argentina will meet in the semi-finals. Looking forward to seeing how the Brazilian players will resist Messi.

Switzerland also played a very good match against Brazil and in that match Brazil also had a very hard time winning.
The only real and good match so far was played by Brazil against South Korea, a very weak national team that, by chance and with a lot of luck, made it to the knockout stage of the competition. If they had played against Uruguay, it would have been a much more difficult game for Brazil.
So far, it has been shown that Brazil has a lot of problems when playing against well-organized teams that play well in defense.
Croatia is a very experienced and good team, with a very good defense and it will be a very difficult match for Brazil.
Croatia plays similarly to Real in the Champions League and they win even when they play weaker than their opponents, which is a characteristic of top teams.

I would say it was a successful World Cup mission for South Korea. Their target was round of 16. South Korea qualified for the knockout round by defeating renowned teams like Uruguay and Ghana. If Korea's defenders could have performed better against Brazil, the match might have been more competitive. However, South Korea has played quite well in this World Cup. They should learn from their mistakes and improve themselves.

In the first match, most of the people think about the Poland will win the match. But as surprise to many people, the game was unique from France. They made a good game, it’s only reason for the France to over take the Poland. Poland game should be improved on the future matches, it game against the Mexico was good enough. If they make such a placement in the France game, they may win. Even Poland make the good goal try in all his short. They are unlucky to complete the goal. The France game was impressive and improved as before. We can compare the France game with the Argentina game. In recent past.

Where did you get this statistic that "most of the people think Poland will win the match?" Poland is nowhere near France in this world cup when it comes to a brilliant performance, and they are the defending champion. They have all it takes to beat Poland black and blue and I easily won my bet with the match. The 3-1 result against Poland is still not satisfactory to me as France played as expected and they deserve the win. Poland has tried its best in this tournament too, but for how long would they keep their stay while better teams are still active?

Even this success of Poland is enough for them.  They managed to get out of the group.  Its staff is less qualified than other teams.  They have star players like Robert Lewandowski and they don't have such great players except Lewandowski.  France is like a world mix.  They have incredible players.  When there was such a match, I bet on the victory of France involuntarily and I won.  Today, I want Portugal to win and see the chance with me once again.

This Brazil have a very good and complete team. Serbia and Switzerland are good teams with proper and good players, so I expected them to shake Brazil too. They started their second eleven against a Cameroon team that wanted to fight for points to qualify. Croatia have not been really performing well in this World Cup. I think they’ve been riding on luck and Brazil will sent them home in the Q-finals. I expect to see Brazil in the finals because they’re ready to beat other top teams to progress.
