FIFA 2022 world cup

[lixer]

It is true that South Korea and Japan are good teams, with my preference being Japan's team but they are going nowhere in this world cup. You can mark my word for it and I can even bet my last money on this. What I envisaged in this world cup is tougher than the two countries and one might crash at the group stage, while the other at the quarter-final.

The only teams that might show some degree of surprise are the ones from the southern part of America, not the Asia extracts.

I agreed with you about Asia most chances these all teams are going out of the first round as their quality is not good, and they are not doing some better strategy for improving this even Japan and Korea both involved in good activities with UEFA clubs and importing players from South America but still they are not good enough to face tough challenges right now UEFA is surely ahead after them CONMEBOL and the Africa these are surely at the top and have enough chances for having better results.

We have no other team who win this title other than these two continents South America and UEFA but now in last few years Africa is improving quality and their structure is also having good potential for giving them better results with this we can expect good results from them in future as well.

I recently saw some reports about Qatar from footballers who have played there. They say it's not as hot there as people think. Okay, during the day it can be 35 degrees or slightly warmer, but when the sun starts to go down it cools down pretty quickly and then the weather isn't that hot at all. I think that is a huge advantage for the teams, so that you can look for a moment of cooling in the evening. That wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I think the last time we had a World Cup in Asia was in South Korea in 2002? But I think it was still very warm in the evening. I don't expect many surprises in the group stage but I am curious what Spain - Germany will be.

From all the weather reports that I've seen, the temperatures in Qatar for the World Cup will be up to 25-30 degrees C, not too hot. Also in terms of minimum temperatures, something like 15-20 degrees C, so overall it seems that the weather conditions are not going to be too bad.

Specially considering that many European countries have been having extreme heat waves now at 40+ degs.

The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England. A few old stars of which only a name remains, but their real strength is questionable + a couple of new stars who have yet to reveal themselves, the rest of the players are questionable in general. On paper, Argentina is clearly weaker than the whole group of teams, so I consider it overrated.
As for the assessments not on paper but in practice, it is difficult for me to judge, since Argentina does not often play with serious opponents. Yes, their victory over Italy was good (although it was another dubious match from FIFA), but I don't know if it can play several good games in a row at the World Cup.

Well... let's say that we both have clearly different metrics to use when comparing teams. Among the "old stars", one is a legend and the others such as Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi are in great form. Among the younger generation, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez are winning matches on their own for the team. Anyone who has watched the 2021 Copa America tournament would disagree that they are weaker than Brazil, or for that matter France or England (BTW, they defeated Brazil in the final of Copa).

Peak and consistent performance are going to vary by the quality of a team both their play and training will show through, hopefully we get a good range of games not erratic results so much from this new setting.    35c would seem to favor the southern or more exotic located teams over players who would not normally train or play in that range of temp.   35c to me isnt normal to be running around for 90 minutes or more, they can cope but how well and for how long I think is going to be natural bias.   15c I would be surprised if that happens but 25c is probably ok for all I guess.

Mediterranean countries going to take the best for this temp. Teams that employ players from Africa also take benefit from it. France's national football team, for example, got a lot of players with African origin and they already have a good record so far thanks to that lineup. Latin America also does well in that temp condition. Overall, northern countries have to send their player to the oversea, in countries with similar to that temp, to stay and train over a long period of time to get their players to get used to that temp condition.

European and South American national teams have been dominating world football for quite some time now, but I expect that African teams will soon reach their level.
African footballers are already big football stars in the world's best clubs, like Salah or Mane, but their national teams are not yet tactically at the level of the world's best national teams.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ghana came very close to becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, but unfortunately lost the game to Uruguay on penalties after missing a penalty in the last minute of the games.
After that, no African national team came close to reaching the semi-finals, but maybe it could happen at this world championship in Qatar.

There is no doubt that Brazil is a country producing quality young players, there are many young players in their squad at the moment. But this is a World Cup where the quality of the players is not enough, they have to be mentally prepared for everything that will happen there. I hope this is not a problem for them, and the senior players on the team can provide motivation that can make the juniors more mentally and confident.

About the mentality to be prepared, I'd like to say something
If can pick any squad, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Australia, Ghana etc, from South America to Asia, Africa included, all teams have players with experience playing in Europe.
Of course not all of them are playing in tier A teams like Real Madrid / Manchester City / Juventus etc, but they are in Europe playing among the best, and playing against the best, so the experience is not a problem anymore, in my opinion.

Some years ago it was incredible to see the playing differences against every kind of soccer techniques, like South Americans vs Europeans, or Europeans vs Africans, but today the difference is very hard to see, because players are playing the same championships, coaches are training the teams equally, and there's a lot of foreigners coaching and even playing for another countries.

You forgot South Korea and Japan there but I understand your points. Those countries might not have a lot of players in the A-tier league but they are still very good national teams to meet up with the World Cup level. The level difference is a small margin. I think thanks to the global nature of soccer has become, now the coach's teachings and training regiments can be received from country to country. Before it the EU and Latin America had the best chance to win a World Cup as it was completely their game. Now, this chance can also be seen in other zones, abit small but still there.

Wasn't South Korea fourth in the world at the 2002 World Cup?
I remember that at the last World Cup, Japan pretty much tortured one of the favorites, Belgium, in the knockout phase of the competition.
I think that both teams have a chance, but personally I give better chances for a good result to teams from Africa.
I personally have the feeling that at least one African national team could surprise this time and achieve a very good result, especially since they will be playing in climatic conditions that suit them.

I admit that you are right, Japan tried in the 2018 world cup, but did they reach the semi? No, 3-2 against Belgium, which doesn't prove a point beyond that. While the point about South Korea is almost the same thing, they did not get to the semi and Brazil eventually lifted the trophy. We are talking about those that have the chance to lift the trophy, which was what I replied to in my last post.

All the teams would try their best, but luck and professionalism would be seen in some better than others. And those favoured in that aspect are Germany, Spain and South American teams. Also, I don't think African teams would reach final.

I always prefer luck over effort. Because sometimes a good team loses after playing well enough. Anyway, this year's World Cup is expected to be very grand. All teams will try their best. I am expecting good things from Argentina this time. I think luck will help this time. But I wish all the teams the best.

  yee, completely different. Even when Messi was young, I paid more attention to the work of real legends - Iniesta and Xavi. Without them, he is an ordinary good player, but no more, and now his age is making itself felt. Di Maria is good, although Juventus results are bad  But I hope he will be in shape for the World Cup. Dybala is Mr. Instability (by the way, he no longer belongs to the younger generation). In general, everything is possible, but every event has chances and I don't see that Argentina's chances are great. And your prediction about the final Brazil - Argentina with a probability of 75% sounds simply shocking to me.

Fortunately, things are starting to come together before we start with the World Cup. After all, it is already October and we will start in November. I wonder to what extent players are already working on that with their heads. They really shouldn't, because champions league matches have to be played first. That should be the focus first, but that is not always easy. France will not care much about all the criticism surrounding the performance, we also saw that in 2018 how it ended at the World Cup. But a good preparation also seems better to me. Incidentally, it is always a rumble at France at every tournament, for years.

Weather may sometimes sounds unpredictable but i will like to reminds those coming to Qatar to have it in mind that thier weather temperature is quite different from the EU, US or England respectively, Qatar can sounds a little bit heating due to the temperature there in the region but i don't think the players coming should have much concerns about that because they are use to getting overheated when playing on a pitch for 90 minutes, but the spectators needed to out that into consideration because they are mostly not engaged in sporting activities in the past and present and they may find the weather a little unbearable, but since this is coming towards the end of the year, i also believe there could be much relieves than expected as the weather should be cold around December winter season.

It's very hot!  And quite in fact it was one of the points of the several that generated controversy when it was learned that Qatar was the venue, this is  collateral of that the dates or having the World Cup for the first time in November.

 The weather is less hot but not cooler, it is the winter season, the truth is that one of the promises is to keep the stadiums below 30°c or less, thanks to which the stadiums will have a system that guarantees it.

Without being sentimental, Africans would not do anything spectacular in this world cup, they don't often have a complete team. You mentioned Salah and Mane, but don't forget that they don't play for the same team nad they can't consistutute the whole team, which si where the issue lies. Africans were better contenders before, not know, they need a lot to develop their team. Like I used to be fcatilay, I don'yt see them in the semi-final.

I always prefer luck over effort. Because sometimes a good team loses after playing well enough. Anyway, this year's World Cup is expected to be very grand. All teams will try their best. I am expecting good things from Argentina this time. I think luck will help this time. But I wish all the teams the best.

Luck is good in footfall and all the facets of life, but no one or team can rey on it. They need their professionalism that will always make them shine and prove that they know what they are actually doing.

I agree that luck is important in sports, but you can't always count on luck in every match.
In order for a national team to become world champion, it must win 4 consecutive games in the knockout phase of the competition.
In a match or two, luck can help, but in 4 consecutive matches? This is not possible and in the end the world champion always becomes the representation that was the best during the tournament, without major drops in the level of play.
If Argentina wants to be world champions, they must not rely only on luck or Messi, but show quality in the game.

You are right. I agree with you.
instead of relying on luck or Messi, argentina will not be able to achieve the title. if that's the way.

So colors in football can come from anywhere, luck in football is the naturalness of a 2x45 minute logic including added time until the final whistle of the game sounds.
Luck in soccer is often a determinant, but basically how luck comes can't be known or there is no formula that determines luck appears.
instead of relying on luck, every team that will compete later in the Qatar world cup, requires mental readiness, strategy, teamwork, to get every win. so luck is another matter, after every team prepares everything.

Luck is real but it is inconsistent. This is the World Cup. The best players from the best countries are here to compete for glory. No country can survive into the knockout phase if their only hope is luck. Argentina is having great success recently but they have to remain hungry and focus for their World Cup aspirations. Messi in his last World Cup attendance will be high on his sprits and is giving it all he could. I am wishing Argentina to win. Neymar a teammate of Messi could be the biggest hurdle here because the Brazilians are also in perfect form. I can't wait.

In fact, for as long as I have been watching football, I have seen football played in all kinds of weather. However, players are more comfortable playing in fair weather. But if what I heard is true that Qatar stadiums are equipped with climate control devices. Then players don't have to worry about any weather.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England. A few old stars of which only a name remains, but their real strength is questionable + a couple of new stars who have yet to reveal themselves, the rest of the players are questionable in general. On paper, Argentina is clearly weaker than the whole group of teams, so I consider it overrated.
As for the assessments not on paper but in practice, it is difficult for me to judge, since Argentina does not often play with serious opponents. Yes, their victory over Italy was good (although it was another dubious match from FIFA), but I don't know if it can play several good games in a row at the World Cup.

Well... let's say that we both have clearly different metrics to use when comparing teams. Among the "old stars", one is a legend and the others such as Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi are in great form. Among the younger generation, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez are winning matches on their own for the team. Anyone who has watched the 2021 Copa America tournament would disagree that they are weaker than Brazil, or for that matter France or England (BTW, they defeated Brazil in the final of Copa).

I don't know if you remember it from some World Cups in the past, but Brazil always starts very weakly in a jundial, sometimes even draws and their position is in great danger, but if they manage to get to the round of 16, as they always do, they change, it's as if they had another team, they begin to do everything very well and almost perfectly, the only thing that disappointed me was when they played against France in the World Cup in France 98, when that final against a FRANCE that was captained by a Zinedine Zidane who gave great class playing and who made the Brazilians look like they were children of the French, it is the only time I have seen the Brazilians badly, but now as you say, with respect to Argentina, for me the best team is Brazil.

I always prefer luck over effort. Because sometimes a good team loses after playing well enough. Anyway, this year's World Cup is expected to be very grand. All teams will try their best. I am expecting good things from Argentina this time. I think luck will help this time. But I wish all the teams the best.

I agree that luck is important in sports, but you can't always count on luck in every match.
In order for a national team to become world champion, it must win 4 consecutive games in the knockout phase of the competition.
In a match or two, luck can help, but in 4 consecutive matches? This is not possible and in the end the world champion always becomes the representation that was the best during the tournament, without major drops in the level of play.
If Argentina wants to be world champions, they must not rely only on luck or Messi, but show quality in the game.

You are right. I agree with you.
instead of relying on luck or Messi, argentina will not be able to achieve the title. if that's the way.

So colors in football can come from anywhere, luck in football is the naturalness of a 2x45 minute logic including added time until the final whistle of the game sounds.
Luck in soccer is often a determinant, but basically how luck comes can't be known or there is no formula that determines luck appears.
instead of relying on luck, every team that will compete later in the Qatar world cup, requires mental readiness, strategy, teamwork, to get every win. so luck is another matter, after every team prepares everything.

As for Argentina, all the players in their team are more confident than their team is strong. In fact, confidence is much needed in the game. But I want to give priority to luck too, sometimes a good game loses. Even if you play badly, you can't blame the bad teams who suddenly get a goal at the last minute. Luck is involved with every team's skill.

Yes, I know what you're talking about when you say the luck factor, it's something very important, sometimes I've even heard many people say "champion luck" and it's usually very often when it comes to Brazil, Argentina, it's worth noting that a A team like Argentina usually has a very good strategy and its players are mostly very talented, so all this quality makes them make their own luck due to their work, it is for this reason that sometimes we see that Argentina is playing with another team and that team usually hits the goalkeeper's crossbar without scoring, or the other team kicks and the ball goes elsewhere, I think that's what they are told, and obviously Argentina has that.

The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England. A few old stars of which only a name remains, but their real strength is questionable + a couple of new stars who have yet to reveal themselves, the rest of the players are questionable in general. On paper, Argentina is clearly weaker than the whole group of teams, so I consider it overrated.
As for the assessments not on paper but in practice, it is difficult for me to judge, since Argentina does not often play with serious opponents. Yes, their victory over Italy was good (although it was another dubious match from FIFA), but I don't know if it can play several good games in a row at the World Cup.

Well... let's say that we both have clearly different metrics to use when comparing teams. Among the "old stars", one is a legend and the others such as Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi are in great form. Among the younger generation, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez are winning matches on their own for the team. Anyone who has watched the 2021 Copa America tournament would disagree that they are weaker than Brazil, or for that matter France or England (BTW, they defeated Brazil in the final of Copa).

I think Argentina team is very strong in this World Cup. Their team players are in good form this time. They perform their duties properly in their respective positions. They have Messi in their team, who has been in great form for the national team this season. Maybe this is Messi's last World Cup so everyone will want to at least win the World Cup to make Messi happy.
