FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

This come back helps both Cameroon and Serbia have a small chance to get over the gate in the last match day. Both teams have one point and other two teams which will meet today, Brazil and Switzerland have three points.

It is unbelievable to see Serbia wasted two goals and ended the match with only one point. Anyway, Cameroon did not give up, had strong mentality and they successfully equalized the match.

Cameroonians also had a decent game could have easily won the match if they had a better offensive player. Vincent Aboubakar came in to change the game. Robert Song was actually wrong to bench him. Onana on the bench could have also done better in goal today but he was drop because of disciplinary action.

I read he question Eto'o's involvement in the team selection and so. He also questioned the goal keepers coach over his traditional pattern of kicking out instead of building play from the back.

Fair to say African football is still stucked with politics and its affecting the players performance. I hope they resolve the issue before they do or die game against Brazil.

But there is nothing to do. Many of us had a different view of Germany before the start of the World Cup. Where Germany was predicted by many as the world champion. But none of the previous calculations are useful to win the game. The main thing is that current performance. Germany's what should i say an accident with Japan in the first match could have been recovered if they had won the second match, but the draw, their existence is fully complicated at the moment.

Germany was one of my favourite team for the competition but there match against Japan happens to change everything. Yesterday we saw there glimpse of quality against Spain and could have won the (had Sane converted his last chance). I hope they win there last group match on Thursday and advance to 16s. Maybe they could be regarded favourites once again from there

Cameroon vs Serbia game ended up draw 3:3 because Serbia players didn't hold their opportunity very well to maintain the 3:1 till the end of the game. Serbia really battle Cameroon in the first half that made them to lead Cameroon 3:1 in the first half but Cameroon coach later made some changes that made Serbia defenders to got weak in the second half for Cameroon strikers to score two goals in the second half to equalized the game 3:3.

In the second game today we again had a lot of emotions and a lot of goals. In the end, Ghana won 3-2 against South Korea, but the determination of the Asian team in the second half deserves a lot of credit. However, this is little consolation for the Koreans, who already have minimal chances of promotion. Portugal can qualify from this group if they beat Uruguay in today's match. I hope it will be an interesting game as well.

People do not know how to have fun and celebrate, they may end up burning up places and all very quickly when they are in a group. This has actually been tested by a psychologist before, in a group environment, people do not really treat each other badly at first, nobody really attacks anyone that quickly, but after a while if someone does something, they test it out, they test out what they can get away with, and they keep doing more and more and more until they face a wall.

This means if you are in a group setting and eventually someone kills another person and NOTHING happens, there could be more to follow. It's a shame, and I hope Belgium would deport all the Moroccans that were part of the "celebration" that burned down places.

Spain vs Germany

The draw between Spain and Germany 1 - 1 is indeed satisfying. At least now it's still quite difficult to predict who will qualify later. But if you look at the last matches, Japan vs Spain and Costa Rica vs Germany. It is possible that Spain and Germany have a fairly high chance of winning and qualifying. Unless there are a few more surprises or if one of them is a draw, maybe the result will be different. FIFA WC Qatar is sometimes full of surprises.

Previously I also predicted that the final result of the Germany vs Spain match would be a draw and it was proven, now Germany must focus on the next match against Costa Rica

even though Germany is superior but it is important for them to be able to win so they can advance to the next round. Germany is currently ranked 4th in Group E standings with only getting 1 point, this result is actually not like Germany usually

Those Spanish players did better than the Germany players Germany had too many passes which were not harmful spain, the counter attack was just effective but they couldn't out play those Spanish full back's over the years Jordi Alba and Cavajal have been extraordinarily great players in Europe they helped close down those player's especially Gnabry who was locked in a cage by the Barcelona player. Morata gave them an attacking edge immediately bhr was brought in but they couldn't hold it for too long Germany came back to equalize.

It's quite upsetting to draw a game that you are winning with one goal advantage over your opponent at halftime. The Cameroonian coach really comprehended the game and made the appropriate substitution during halftime, resulting in a second and third goal for his team in the second half. Until we know the result of today's encounter between Brazil and Switzerland, the group is incredibly uncertain onto whom will qualify to the next round of the competition.

We have had really fruitful games so far. South Korea - Ghana was one of them. Ghana started the game really effectively and captured a 2-0 advantage in the first half already. South Korea defense had a really big issue with defending then. They were vulnerable against crosses but the same thing happened to Ghana in the second half. They had a huge problem on defending Cho Gue-Sung on crosses and he scored two great headers thanks to that.

However Kudus was still there to save the team by scoring another goal and making the score 3-2. South Korea still played in a really determined way after this goal and found many opportunities to score. Especially the one they found with Jin-Su Kim was a big waste as it was an absolute goal chance. They still have a chance for next round and they have still made a huge effort so far even if they don't manage to do it.

[Yogee]

Late goal from Casemiro but it looks like Brazil is going to get the job done as they should. It's not as dominant per score line as some fans would like but it's good enough to ensure their qualification to the next stage.

I'm already a 50% winner on my parlay so I'm hoping Portugal doesn't slip up and ruin my bet hehe.

Brazil broke the deadlock in the second half. Brazil went ahead with a great goal by Vinicius Junior from a great counter attack. But then the referee canceled the goal by checking the VAR. Brazil did not get a goal. Vinicius Jr. scored from a great counter attack but the goal was ruled out due to offside. The game remained scoreless as before. But he scored a goal in the next period to seal Brazil's first win with Switzerland. Brazil won today's match by 0-1 and the crowd cheered.

[BobK71]

Today's Brazil vs Argentina match was very entertaining especially towards the end of the game. Brazil's 1-0 win made it two wins from two teams so far and collect maximum of six points. They are three points ahead form Switzerland at the top of the group. Cameroon and Brazil will meet next on 3 December and Brazil will win there too.

Brazil is one team viewed by many as favourite in winning the WC even before it started and they are really playing to that expectation. But  it as it may, the round off 16 won't be that cool but I feel that can still make it beyond such round.
Congratulations Brazil for today's win.

Good to see legend Brazilian footballers Ronaldo and Kaka in the stands cheering for there team against Switzerland. Casemiro scored the goal in 83rd minute for Brazil and that's the only goal of the match and it tells the story that how good Switzerland defense is. Nonetheless Brazil have qualified for the next round and Switzerland will also qualify if they don't lose next game.

Brazil is that country that I love watching their football because of the method of the football they play. Their method of football gives the individual players opportunity to showcase their talent by running defenders one-on-one .They called this type of football samba football.
There is one thing I discovered about Brazil this world cup, they are not scoring many goals like before.
I don't know what is wrong or it is there new formation? Country with great finishers like Brazil should be scoring an average of 3 goals every match but this world cup is something difficult for Brazil. The two winnings that they got are all narrow escape they have never won convincingly

I hope it will be an interesting game as well.

Now the match between Portugal and Uruguay is underway, the first round, according to predictions, went on tight, it looks like this match will be equal until the end, it will be as strong as a draw, if that happens, Uruguay will find it even more difficult to have the chance to qualify for the last 16, and Portugal will also be in the third final match will also be in danger of meeting Ghana which has been given its life by South Korea and hopefully my prediction will succeed in the match between Portugal and Uruguay will be correct

Ì guess u mean to say Switzerland. The game was not easy for Brazil because switzerland didn't give Brazil chance to score ,before Brazil managed to score their first goal by casemiro . I don't think Cameroon will be able to stand Brazil if they meet, Brazil has better squad than Cameroon.

Ghana deserved a second chance after their result in Portugal, they tried their hardest but it was too late to equalize the last goal scored by Portugal and I love the way they converged that energy on Korea Republic though Korea really retaliated after the second half but Kudus was prepared not to let go of every chance ghana had and finished with 3-2 just the same manner Portugal did them in round 1

From the looks of things, Portugal will be lucky in the outcome against Uruguay, as Ronaldo just scored a goal with a great assist from Fernandes, and Portugal currently leads the field statistically. So far, the match has lasted 70 minutes, and I believe the score will be 2-0 because the ball distribution among Uruguay players is unsatisfactory.

Actually Ronaldo didn't score that goal but I also thought that he touched the ball with his head there. It was a really close call as it seems. Even they wrote the goal to Ronaldo first but they changed it to Fernandes later on. It was a really nice goal anyway. Ronaldo was so near getting rid of the "Penaldo" nickname in the World Cup but he missed it by inches.    I don't call him like that of course because he is one of the legends playing football actively still.

Uruguay have been able to balance the game a little more in this half but things are still not going well for them. If this match ends up with a loss for them then I don't think they can reach next stage. Because Ghana have been playing more passionately so far. I don't think Uruguay can beat them.

The South Korea versus Ghana match would have turned out very wrong for South Korea. Eventually, this match ended in a draw. Obviously, that was not the optimal result for South Korea. They wanted to win this match. Now, as far as I know, this has become almost close to impossible for them. It was actually sad to see because they tried really hard to win that match. But eventually, they failed.

Then why would players pretend? huh  Ronaldo ran and celebrated the goal as if he had his head on that ball making me believe he was the one that actually scored the goal, I doubted it but it was shown that Ronaldo scored the goal not until I saw your quote and I was shocked, seems like today belong to Bruno Fernandez for having 2 goals, sadly today Penalty wasn't giving to penaldo but Fernandez may be due to the last controversy against Ghana. I risked it and paid to pick over 1.5, my prediction went as predicted.

Portugal has become the third team to accumulate 6 points, and they will undoubtedly qualify for the next round. I believe all first teams in all groups should be able to sleep comfortably until their next round 3 match.

Ghana beat them 3-2.  They tied it up once they were down 2 nil but Ghana ended up scoring another goal.  Korea has a tough draw and doesn't look like they are going to make it out of group play.  The Portugal game was real good as well.  They look like a real contender so far.  They handled Uruguay fairly easily.
