FIFA 2022 world cup

[Sithara007]

Only one month left for 2022 world cup to start, i must say i have big hope that it going to be most of successful version of it this year in Qatar with all the money they spent and the cool features of the stadiums and hotels. Beside we saw new players this year shining and they are going to represent their countries and play with full power. This version i must say that Brazil has more chances to win it but let’s wait and see and enjoy

This may be the most expensive tournament (both in terms of money and human lives) in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Qatar is splurging billions of USD to showoff their wealth, and thousands of laborers lost their lives while constructing the stadiums. And this is also the first world cup after a long time where European teams are not favorites to win the trophy. Most of the sportsbooks are having Brazil and Argentina as the clear favorites. The reigning champions (France) are not even among the top-3.

To say that Messi won nothing with Argentina is an exaggeration - at least he has World Championship silver and one America's Cup. But this is really not enough, especially considering how many attempts Argentina failed before winning the America's Cup (if I'm not mistaken, 4). For a player of this stature, the public expects corresponding achievements, and throughout his career, Messi has been under the pressure of these expectations. This is his last World Cup where he takes part, so he probably does not want to think of the tournament as a last chance and he talks about the chances of other teams.

Great expectations must be obtained by star players like Lionel Messi, not only Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo also gets high expectations from the public about achievements in this world Cup. As we know, these two star players are players who have excelled both in teams and individually in the last decade. But this World Cup will probably be the last World Cup for both of them, so surely they are expected to come out and give something at the end of their careers as professionals.

Since the golden generation (Figo generation) Portugal have never been the favorites of any tournament and even when they won (and there was even a big victory - the European Championship 2016) it was against all odds. Football is a team game and despite the presence of any of the top players, if the team is not capable of great accomplishments, then one player does not change anything. In general, both Argentina and Portugal have good teams but are not the favorites of the tournament.

Speaking of France, I don't think France will qualify for the round of 16 in this year's world cup, because of the curse that has been believed until now, by many people around the world talking about it.

As an example :

1: Brazil won the World Cup in 2002 (Korea/Japan), did not qualify in the last 16 when the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
2: Italy won the 2006 World Cup (Germany), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
3: Spain won the 2010 World Cup (South Africa), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
4: Germany won the World Cup in 2014 (Brazil), did not qualify for the last 16 at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
5: France won the World Cup in 2018 (Russia), Will France break the curse of the 2022 World Cup this year, from what I have already mentioned??

I think this not worth comparison with France chance can't qualify in the last 16 round depending several national team failure after success won at least World Cup edition. Seems different looking how player listed composition in France, they have confidence after Karim Benzema become the winner Ballon d'Or and easy lead to next round. France have been in group D with Denmark, Tunisia and Australia, not any favorite national team I think could be easy for France lead to 16 round and broke the myth about the World Cup winner difficult lead to 16 round.

All your statistic above is true about several national team failure for next time edition after become the winner, from Brazil, Italy, Spain until Germany have the same problem can't qualify to 16 round. I think France seems different looking on participants in group D make easy can qualify to 16 round.

We all can't wait to see the biggest football competition in the world. Yes, this is the time we have been waiting for for quite a long time. There will be 32 countries that will compete in Qatar and for sure they will show their best game. This is one event that will unite as all eyes will be on the World Cup. I want to see the creations of each country in welcoming the World Cup this time.

We are all eagerly waiting for the World Cup. Because every time we get a different kind of joy, since the World Cup is held every 4 years, the interest is a little bit higher. But this year's World Cup is going to be even more spectacular. We are all confident about our favorite team that they will give us something good.

There seems to be a possibility that the injury situation of some Argentinian players will have an influence on the performance of Argentina at the World Cup. Di Maria was injured and Lionel Messi also got injured after that. Last but not least, I heard that Dybala has also been injured. Obviously, this is most likely to negatively affect Argentina's performance in the upcoming matches.

Prior to the injury problems, I could have easily said that Argentina might be one of the most promising teams entering the world cup and might even be considered to be a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. However, I believe there is a significant decrease in the chances of Argentina winning the world cup this time.

Argentina is the top contender for the World Cup in 2022. Di Maria, Messi, and Dybala do not make up the entire team. Although they have a great deal of influence on the team, that doesn't mean Argentina won't have a successful World Cup campaign. Winning isn't going to be dependent on the starting players but on the coach's tactics, how well the players are able to play as a team, their discipline on and off the pitch, and how determined they are to win the cup.

There is no doubt that tactics play a crucial role in the success of a team. But I think when you don't have your key players available it is obviously meant to be less effective no matter what tactics you use.

I cannot stress enough the fact of how many games Lionel Messi has won for Argentina single-handedly. And not having that player available is going to be a big loss for Argentina. I also agree that only two or three players do not make up the whole team. But we have to remember that those two or three players are basically the backbone of Argentina. So, if they are not available for Argentina in the world cup I think Argentina is going to have a hard time in the world cup.

@Sithara007 anyone caring about this lost of lives and money which is spending for this all its usual business for these peoples those are main players they never care about human life of things which are going to happen during this mega event because all human rights activates are already filled with FIFA officials are also counting money which is already in their pockets we are eagerly waiting for the start of event and many others are also counting their profit which is coming after the end of this event but which lose their lives and their families which are suffering surely can't do anything just silence and the worst future waiting for these kids because we all know how life is in subcontinent after losing your head which is doing hard work for you abroad, and suddenly you have news he is already lost his life.

I can't be more agreeing with you. Quatar and most of gulf countries like to show off their wealth and by saying that i mean with any price. They don't care about the workers they just want everything done done in time no matter the price is. They don't even announce that or try to fix things for the workers and as i heard the worker are not even well paid.
About this year world cup also i say it's more in favor of Brazil to win with much super stars but we use to surprises nobody know if even Brazil will pass the first stage it's so unpredictable

Just under a month and then we start the World Cup in Qatar. We have seen a lot of wealth in Qatar from reports, I think many people have a negative image of this country, but it does have a lot of wealth and also a beautiful culture. It is sad that so many people have died and that human rights have been damaged, but the players can't do anything about that and the organization can't do anything about it now. I think this is the most luxurious tournament of a World Cup we've ever seen.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Soon the most prestigious matches around the world we will witness, in this year's world cup matches, in fact, many clubs that are everyone's favorites have been eliminated in the qualifiers, especially Italy who are usually always present at these prestigious matches but for this year they can only watch the matches of other countries, and who are champions for this year I am more confident of Argentina because they are very good in every game  which took place during the qualifiers and friendly matches, especially the star of the field that many spectators liked the most can still play well, namely lionel messi, and they have also won the Copa America cup last year, then this year's World Cup Argentina is the club that opponents are most afraid of.

Uff, Italy hurts me a lot, it is one of the countries that has cost me the most to assimilate that for the second time in a row Italy is not going to the World Cup and that is something that at least makes me sad, however, things happen for a reason , this is a way of seeing that in the soccer qualifiers nothing can be given away, nor be neglected for a single minute, because that can mean losing a golden opportunity to qualify, what happened with Italy and Sweden is something that should not have happened, not to mention Norway, we will not be able to see Haaland in this World Cup, that is something sad, however the countries that go for them must represent their geographical area very well.

Well, I hope that these teams, when they are in the World Cup and already playing, can have a better performance, I really would like that at least Portugal could go very far, the truth is, I don't know if the Nations League is also taken seriously in these teams that demands it, because I didn't see that they played so hard either, they may also be saving the best for this World Cup, because England is a team that always commands a lot of respect, for his part Kane is not doing badly, and France is a very complete team, I hope Karim Benzema is in the line-up too, and Germany led by Mulle, so I hope they are saving the best for Qatar.

I am not sure about this. All the major European teams performed poorly in the UEFA nations league. Maybe you are right and they are saving their best for the world cup. But what I have seen so far hasn't been very encouraging. Less than a month remain for the world cup and I am not sure whether they can rebound in a big way. Anyway, I am pretty sure about one thing. This time there are going to be a lot many upsets, and many of the top European sides are going to fail to qualify for the knockout phase.

Yes, the truth is that this is something very true, the performance of those teams has not been as overwhelming as we all hoped, however I have seen the games of Argentina and Brazil on occasions, because they do not show that much level, but I base it on a simple theory, for now the line-ups that will go to the World Cup are not officially known, because in the case of Argenita Dybala it is a piece that they can lose and be left without a World Cup, in Portugal there is a great loss, and all these players who are so emblematic they are the ones that make the difference and if their teams are left without them, if it will affect their performance, then all this can affect them negatively, and positively for others.

Lionel Messi have picked Brazil and France as the favourites for the World Cup citing their team players who have played together for longtime. Messi hadn't mentioned Argentina to be the favourite as more players are into injuries and are playing fixtures for clubs even though the World Cup matches were scheduled.
Lionel Messi picks Brazil, France as World Cup favourites

In my opinion, this is a fair forecast, it's hard to argue with the fact that Brazil and France are the main favorites of the tournament (although many add England). The fact that Messi did not mention Argentina may be due to the unwillingness to take on the responsibility of high expectations, or even the fact that Messi is afraid to jinx his national team. Inside the Argentine national team, I'm sure everyone is discussing only the possibility of taking the gold, they are all ambitious.

I think this is most likely the reason why he did not mentioned Argentina, we know that Messi has always been under enormous pressure whenever he was playing for his national team and until recently he had won nothing with them, so it is very likely that he prefers to not create expectations about the Argentinian team because if he does and he fails to win the world cup again then he will receive endless criticism for saying something and then being unable to make it come true.

Well, I don't blame Messi, he knows very well that the team that best suits Brazil apart from Argentina is France and maybe France's only job is to eliminate Brazil as it has already happened since the World Cup in France 98, which, It was a World Cup where we could all see the magic of Zizu, and apart from that we had the best players in Brazil such as Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, among others who were a Golden generation, which I clearly remember as the French goalkeeper, Barthez, he showed off in a great way , then Messi's prediction may not be far from reality, more so for him who has been so close to winning the world cup and has not been able to.

Yeah, it would be definitely be a new experience having the World Cup hosted by Qatar. Having a lot of restrictions and somewhat weird laws, it would surely be exciting experiencing their culture while enjoying the World Cup along with millions of others

Qatar have put much effort on making it big than any of the previous FIFA. The wealth is an important reason, and the real change have happened out of making changes to their law. As this is a global event, to keep every audience comfortable they've made big arrangements and even allowed alcohol with some restrictions which is really unexpected from Qatar.

As said Human lives aren't considered as a big thing. This need to change, some organisations gave voice and none to support them. They're suppressed and the same thing could happen when another country like Qatar host the event. So, this should have been taken seriously.

I hope all this luxury doesn't distract from what really matters: football.
Obviously I'm very surprised to see the opening show, even if it's on TV, it should be a very beautiful show.

But during the games I hope that all this luxury and technology is used for the match, that there is good refereeing, that the VAR, its technicians and technologies are impartial and accurate in their decisions.

I hope that so much money invested in this event will be used so that, when we reach the end, we can consecrate the champion team for its true merit, without having to point out the flaws that occurred in the execution of the matches.

The world has become more money minded and human lives (especially those from the third world nations) are not considered as very important. Qatar is an important player in the global LNG market, and hardly anyone among the mainstream media has the courage to say something against them. It is very surprising to see a country such as Belarus getting suspended from FIFA tournaments for its role in the war in Ukraine, while Qatar hosting the event despite thousands of deaths among the laborers who built all those stadiums.

The teams listed above to might not qualify when there's a team like Belgium, Brazil and Norway, especially with Erling Haaland on board. He has scored 15 times after 13 match days in the season 2022/2023. Germany should be at the mercy of Norway.

Exactly! With king j alongside Erling Haaland, Norway  will be definitely unstoppable. Germany has no chance.

i am really curious if in any games various anti-banners will be hung up in the stadiums, which will once again draw attention to human rights. i can well imagine that the controls in front of the entrances will be very strong ... but the fans will come up with some ideas to bring these banners into the stadium.
there are already various initiatives like this one in germany, for example, which are calling for a boycott of the fans.

[Daniel91]

My bet is also between Brazil and Argentina.
I believe that Brazil has a better chance of winning the world cup, because even without a team of great stars (let's face it, Neymar is not doing so well), it's a young team that has actually played very well (undefeated). in all the qualifiers and friendlies in which he participated.

I really expect things, but I'm more inclined to tell you, that Argentina will come out as world champions, if I look at the many complementary players that Argentina have at the moment, it's not that Brazil doesn't have great players, but I look from The side of the game that Argentina has is more superior than Brazil, that's why I dare to say that, because we know that maybe this could be the last World Cup title for Messi who is not young anymore, surely Messi will make his way of parting with Indah and at the end his career..

In any case, I see that France is also a team with a lot of potential to reach the final.... let's watch carefully.

Speaking of France, I don't think France will qualify for the round of 16 in this year's world cup, because of the curse that has been believed until now, by many people around the world talking about it.

As an example :

1: Brazil won the World Cup in 2002 (Korea/Japan), did not qualify in the last 16 when the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
2: Italy won the 2006 World Cup (Germany), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
3: Spain won the 2010 World Cup (South Africa), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
4: Germany won the World Cup in 2014 (Brazil), did not qualify for the last 16 at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
5: France won the World Cup in 2018 (Russia), Will France break the curse of the 2022 World Cup this year, from what I have already mentioned??

It is just history and nothing else.
We have had many examples in history when national teams won the World Cup twice in a row, such as Brazil or even earlier Italy.
These are all interesting historical examples, but they will not mean much at this current world cup in Qatar.
The world champion will be the team that is the most prepared and the best, regardless of history.
France belongs to the narrowest circle of favorites for the title of world champion and I expect that they will make it to the knockout phase of the world championship without any problems. Any other result would be a huge surprise.

Why are these banners circulating - Heard Paris is Boycotting the world cup for human rights violation Qatar did to build the stadiums.
But that was not a war - that happened during a routine operations. But the rich people turn blind eye to the problems of poor, the lives of the labour doesn't matter in front of the big event.

Only one month left for 2022 world cup to start, i must say i have big hope that it going to be most of successful version of it this year in Qatar with all the money they spent and the cool features of the stadiums and hotels.

This may be the most expensive tournament (both in terms of money and human lives) in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Qatar is splurging billions of USD to showoff their wealth, and thousands of laborers lost their lives while constructing the stadiums. And this is also the first world cup after a long time where European teams are not favorites to win the trophy. Most of the sportsbooks are having Brazil and Argentina as the clear favorites.

@Sithara007 anyone caring about this lost of lives and money which is spending for this all its usual business for these peoples those are main players they never care about human life of things which are going to happen during this mega event because all human rights activates are already filled with FIFA officials are also counting money which is already in their pockets we are eagerly waiting for the start of event and many others are also counting their profit which is coming after the end of this event but which lose their lives and their families which are suffering surely can't do anything just silence and the worst future waiting for these kids because we all know how life is in subcontinent after losing your head which is doing hard work for you abroad, and suddenly you have news he is already lost his life.

In spite of the fact that we all know how wealthy Qatar is as a nation, they are now displaying it through the meticulously built stadiums and hotels they have constructed solely for the world cup. It seems to me that this season, all the teams can be divided into three categories based on their performance.
1- The most favorite to win, are teams like Brazil, Argentina, etc.
2- The least favorite to win, who are there just o 'play'.
3- The rest of the teams fall under the category of average teams.

As a result, we will probably see a very competitive world cup & matches, where the results will be determined by which team performs best on any given matchday.
