FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

Embarrassing game for Spain against Japan. Rumors say that the Spanish team lost deliberately, so that they could finish at the second place in their group and face Morocco at the round of 16. Shame on them. I really hope that Spain will be kicked out of the tournament at the quarterfinals. Croatia vs. Japan would be interesting, but I bet that the Croatian team would reach the quarterfinals.

Spain didn't only avoid facing Croatia in the 16 round, they also avoided facing Brazil which is the biggest candidate to be the winner of this WC. Watching the table, if Spain surpassed Morocco, the most probable competitor in the quarter final is Portugal, while it is Brazil for Croatia in case they threw Japan out.

The last games in groups G and H are played today, so anything is still possible. Although unlikely, it is still possible that Portugal and Brazil do not finish on top of their respective groups. Anyway, I just hope that today will be another exciting day of the World Cup with many goals scored and plenty of drama!

Germany deserved to leave the tournament at the group stage. The German team is missing some key elements, in order to be competitive against France and Brazil, who are the big favorites for winning the World Cup.

Such difference between their performance on the first and second half, still japan team is really dangerous offensively  they attack in numbers and they are really fast i wasn't surprised when they managed to score two goals in the second half spain defense is not that great still even moroco is a tough team to beat we've seen that on the group stage spain team will have a tough time against them.

The last games of the world cup are been played currently now and so many dramas has already been witnessed in the world cup since its kickoff and we are still expecting more .

Todays fixtures between ghana and uruguay is going to be another interesting game, because the winner of the game will surely qualify to the next stage of the World cup. The Ghanaian team already have 3points and will be going all out in this game to secure their place in the last 16 which is not going to be an easy match for them. Portugal on the other hand have already qualified and securing another win will give them a perfect group stage finish with 9points and their opponents,  the South Koreans will also be going for a win to finish their world cup campaign so its never an easy match for any team in this last matches of the world cup

South korea 1-1 Portugal so far.

Despite south korea played it nothing to lose and portugal not really under any pressure ... the game run quite exciting as both team had an open play where portugal side resting some of their key players ... pretty entertaining , i wish they give a point to south korea as a farewell.

Even though before this match started or before the match between Ghana v Uruguay started, in fact Uruguay was the only team that didn't have a goal from all the matches that had been played. But in this last match Uruguay even managed to score two goals in the first half, and it looks like Uruguay will win at half time. It was quite surprising, I think, because with the two results that were not optimal in the previous match, it made me doubt Uruguay because maybe Ghana would be able to maintain their advantage.
But what happened was that Ghana didn't seem to be able to make many efforts to maintain their advantage at this moment, and of course with a 2-0 defeat in the first half it would seem that Ghana had lost its chance to qualify.

But if Andre Ayew had scored earlier, through a penalty, then maybe it would have been a different result.
But because at this moment Uruguay can score first and is also superior in statistics, then of course Uruguay has a better chance of winning. With this victory, it is certain that Uruguay will be the runner up, very unlucky for Ghana who already had a very good chance to qualify but was finally thwarted in this last match.

[Distraction]

I believe there is still hope for Ghana but their job is very difficult indeed. We have really witnessed how much missing a penalty can affect a match. Ayew might be blamed for the result if they lose here. But I think this would be cruel because they still have an opportunity to reverse the situation as a team. Ghana have been impressive in the group until this match actually. But something is going wrong with them now. Maybe they couldn't have their system work against Uruguay or they are just unlucky.

We will find out about it now in the second half. South Korea are also making a really big effort now to turn the game around. In the current situation, they have no other option than winning against Portugal to be able to advance. Even winning by one goal might not be enough for South Korea depending on the score of the other match so they are really in trouble for now.

I lost bet for this.
Goodbye Belgium, their golden generation was over now. it's perfectly aligned like De bruyne said, that they were sided by old players who slowly move and don't have motivation. In fact, they are meet which team who filling up by the oldest player Modric, but they can't see that fact to be better, Now they are only perfect in their club but can't work together on a team. Maybe their next generation make it better, because a problem team is only coordination, the skill team is not different with another big team.

The world cup this time is difficult to predict and it is also difficult to choose the right bet. There were rumors that De Bruyne, Hazard and Vertonghen had argued and caused a commotion, as professional players they should have set a good example for the next generation of players, it looked like their mentality was very bad and they had no motivation to qualify for the next phase.

I do agree that it is not an easy thing to bet on the world cup, but you would guess that the team that beat Costa Rica 7-0 and the team that failed to win against Costa Rica could face and the one that beat 7-0 would beat this team as well. I am not saying that's usually the case, of course we have many many many underdog stories in the football world, that's common.

However, you don't expect it to happen, it just happens out of nowhere and you just accept that as a fact. All in all, I believe that we shouldn't be betting like that, like who would bet on Japan to beat Spain? Few people only, majority would bet on Spain and that's the expected result most of the time.

I don't think any soccer fan in the world thought Japan would beat Spain. To say that Japan's supporters were not 100% sure that Japan would be able to defeat Spain. But the Japanese did it, beating Spain 2-1 and surprising the world.

Any thing can happen but nothing can happen again between Ghana and Uruguay. Ghanaians are disappointed with Match. Ghana team was tactically possessing ball compared to Uruguay. Ghana will be kick out from the tournament.

Looks like both of them get eliminated on the knockout phase and South Korea advance when they beat them, Uruguay failed to advance with that goal difference. I just hope that chase down with the referee by the Uruguay player didn't happen, it's totally unprofessional that shouldn't happen in a huge matches like this. Uruguay beats Ghana but South Korea beats Uruguay, that's hot today, if they scored one more goal they probably have a chance to get on the knockouts.

The frustration came down in Uruguay Dugout as South Korea moved 2-0. At that time, the match was 6 minutes left and added 10 minutes additionally but Uruguay failed to score a goal with in 16 minutes. Despite a 2-0 win against Ghana, Uruguay were eliminated from the first round after conceding two goals. Although their calculations were complicated from the beginning. Finally they have to leave from the Qatar World Cup. Portugal and South Korea made it to the last sixteen from 'H' group.

It was Japan yesterday who denied Germany their second position today it's South Korea shifting Uruguay to third place . Asian countries are making new records in the world cup. I am enjoying their confidence and pace. The round of sixteen big countries will get eliminated 2022 world cup is for the least expected country.

Portugal and South Korea qualified for the knockout rounds from Group H. But my guess was Ghana and Portugal would qualify. Ghana did not score against Uruguay today. They lost 2-0. Uruguay's players put in a lot of effort to win and qualify for the knockout rounds. But Uruguay failed to qualify for the knockout rounds as the unfortunate South Korea side defeated Portugal. South Korea will likely face Brazil in the next round. It is still undecided which team Portugal will play against.

[Sirait]

Morocco is also a pretty good team. They beat Belgium 2-0 and rightfully won the group stage. If Spain lost intentionally, maybe it could backfire and they will lose to Morocco.

I hope Morocco will do something against Spain, but their celebration after Canada's match implies they have reached their highest ambition by moving to the 16 round. However, this tournament looks to be full of surprises.

many say morocco is the underdog team but seeing how they beat canada and belgium makes me think that morocco has great potential to beat spain in the last 16 match later. I don't know what big surprises will happen in the world cup this time, Spain would have barely qualified if Germany had more goals but Spain is lucky because Germany doesn't have that. if Spain underestimates Morocco then it is not impossible that Morocco will beat them.

Countries in Asia have started to not be underestimated, moreover they are in a group with the European champions and managed to prove that Japan and South Korea are capable of getting rid of them. A fantastic achievement and really makes people wonder what really happened at the world cup this time. What is certain is that their next opponent will not be easy, but hopefully they will keep trying hard whatever the result will be.

I guess it was Portugal and Uruguay tbh that will make it for the group H but they fail short when South Korea beat Portugal. I think it will be Brazil and South Korea and should be expected that Brazil will remain at the top for group G, my guess is Portugal vs Switzerland.

A goal for Uruguay would have seen them qualify but they couldn't all the penalty appeal they called for was not even responded to by the referee and var in the match they played today. According to a picture thru say life comes at you fàst as we saw Ghana holding Uruguay down disallowed them to score three goals. Thr loss to North Korea was a big surprise. Ronaldo on the pitch was not even effective, removing him from the game also showed that he has no impact in the match as he just run around without any work

A lot of drama in this world partaining elimination of Big teams by smaller teams, This will remind the eliminated teams/countries that one thing is for sure, change is constant.  No team should be regarded as a small team anymore as long as this world cup is concerned, looking at how countries like Germany, Belgium, Uruguay, just to mention a few couldn't qualify from their group stage games as result of getting a shocking defeat.

I was surprised to see Serbia's performance in the previous matches first. It was normal to see them losing to Brazil of course. But they could have won against Cameroon thanks to that solid performance. But somehow they made do with only a draw. Their chances to qualify from the group dropped down a lot as a result.

However things are going their way for now. They have made a really great comeback against Switzerland and they are keeping the 2-1 lead now. Mitrovic and Vlahovic scored the goals and it must be really satisfying for the fans to see these stars having a good day today. Because this is the most needed match for that in the end. As long as Cameroon don't get ahead against Brazil, Serbia are qualifying from the group. So far Cameroon couldn't do anything against Brazil as they don't even have a shot on goal.

Suarez was in tears because of that, if only they have scored I should have predicted my bet and win it, what a letdown. It was South Korea and not North Korea (LOL). Maybe it was not his day today, there are still more room for the knockout stage.
