FIFA 2022 world cup

UAE   0 : 5 Argentina

Enjoyed Argentina vs UAE friendly so far. Argentina's players have performed very well. Argentina won a great 5-0. Di Maria's performance was excellent. He scored two goals and one assist. On the other hand, Messi scored a goal and an assist. Also the performances of players like De Paul, Otamendi and Allister were very good. In this way, if Argentina is able to continue the performance, then Barcelona will win every match in the group stage. Argentina has talented players in defense, midfield, and forward and all are in good form.

I like how Di Maria played as well, if he plays like that in the tournament that would boost Argentina's chances. Julian Alvarez also played good, he's still getting international experience. Argentina should've played against a better team though, this was not a good test. United Arab Emirates have no quality players. Probably opening game for Argentina will be similar to this friendly. Saudi Arabia is almost same level as UAE, they are just slightly better.

What's great about Di Maria's current shape is that he functions very well along with Messi. They both know each other in and out, Di Maria still has great speed and great precision in his passing and seeking the free space. I am sure we are going to see some great moves by the Argentinian offense. They are for sure a great name again and I hope they'll make it far in this tournament as it it always great to see Messi perform for a long time throughout the tournament. He is thrilled beyond imagination I guess.

Di maria is so talented that even at his age he still has a lot to offer. His speed and good passing skills keeps him at top level of his game, no wonder Juventus are returning to top form since he returned from injury. This world cup will be so interesting because we will see good performances from top national teams, it is always great to see Messi and Di maria partnership and that is something we will enjoy in this world cup.

Although Di Maria is getting older, I don't see any disruption to his performance. He excelled whenever he played for the Argentine team and managed to score most of the time. I think UAE could have scored more goals if they wanted to.

My favorites for World Cup 22 are Argentina, Brazil and France. But according to my observations, the bet on the favorite usually loses. Holland has a big chance of winning. Louis Van Gaal is in charge of the team and he will leave the post of coach after the World Cup. The Dutch football players will give at all for Van Gaal.

Most of the world's football fans are interested in Argentina this time. Everyone is hopeful that Argentina will win the World Cup title. They have great players in their team and they are performing very well at the moment. And their biggest confidence factor is that they are unbeaten in 36 matches so far.

[samuraijin]

I was having a random discussion with someone at along the way and he said he's seen news of Qatar involved in corrupt act before the world Cup against Ecuador which is to be held on Sunday. That they paid some big money to seven players of Ecuador to rig the match and game, can any help me share a link if this is true, I would love to read the full gist on it. Checking the odds it's on the side of Ecuador which means they should win if they don't involve in corrupt ways

if that does happen maybe it is normal for football clubs sometimes there is also a scoring mafia in football and usually this will all affect the bets of gamblers who bet on that sports betting site, moreover Qatar as the host does not want to be embarrassed either at the world cup ceremonial match which will soon start

This cannot be true, if it is truth do you know the consequences of their actions? If it was club games I will agree with you, but this is the prestigious World cup which is the dream of every player. If it is true you will not even know about this, it is not a truth and Qatar is a decipline country, they cannot involve in this kind of scandals that is highly frowned at in football.

If this World Cup brought together Argentina Vs Portugal in this year's World Cup Final, it should be questioned by all of us, that surely all matches in this World Cup have been really arranged by the Football mafia, we don't need to be surprised by the fixing of scores in several countries, even in Italy, Asian and African countries, sometimes there are some who still do score fixing in big matches, without us even knowing it. and it has become something that is used to it, maybe in the world of football..

I was thinking the same thing. When you read this thread, most posts are about Argentina and it's for a reason you mentioned - their streak of 36 matches they manage to stay unbeaten. It's impressive. But the World Cup is another thing and they will have to put an extra effort because every game is important and often all it takes is one mistake in a knockout stage to be sent home.

If that rumor would be confirmed, then those would be huge news not only in the world of sports but in probably every big mainstream news corporation, so i am pretty sure that those are just rumors and there is no evidence for such an action. Can i imagine that stuff like that happens or that it was at least tried to bribe some of the Ecuador players? Yeah i can. If i remember correctly, then there was a similar case back in the World cup of 2002 where the south korean team made it to the quarter finals somehow and afterwards it became public that a referee that was completely broke before had suddenly a lot of money.

Due to the absence of Italy in the World Cup event, which made the discussion in this discussion focus on Argentina, which incidentally has star-studded players, of course that is inseparable from what Argentina did from several matches yesterday and the World Cup qualifiers, Argentina gave a game attacks that make countries out there not want to meet Argentina, in the preliminary round or in the knockout round, because the game implemented by the Argentine players really makes other countries distraught to hold back the sharpness of their attackers, surely ball connoisseurs will be entertained, looking at the matches that Argentina is playing, there are a number of things that must be anticipated in the Argentina match, that is the round of the top 16 and top 8, these are matches that Argentina must be aware of, if Argentina loses then they will go home or fall honorably.

maybe it will be more than what you mentioned, Argentina will step into the top party for now, because Argentina's game with current players really shows a team, all players are almost evenly distributed on all fronts, both core players and reserve players are all equally good , and this has shown that Argentina is very ready for the world cup this time, and even though it doesn't win it may just be unlucky, but hopefully Argentina wins not because of luck and indeed Argentina's game deserves to win

Hope it's fake news but I expect everything from these people. The process of giving the World Cup to Qatar was already dubious enough. Now it makes perfect sense that they offered money in the opening match so as not to be disgraced with a humiliating score. Even such a possibility is enough to cast a shadow on the tournament. I hope it's not true.

Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener(1-0 ⚽️ 2nd half). Five Qatari and #Ecadour insiders confirmed this.We hope it's false. We hope sharing this will affect the outcome.The world should oppose FIFA corruption.
@MailSport #WorldCup2022

The process of transferring the rights to host the World Cup was not dubious but corrupt. Everyone recognizes this.
As for this leak, I would rather believe in it, but these details about the exact score and the time when a goal will be scored are very doubtful. I doubt that it is possible to conduct the game so well by planning everything in advance, since the fact that it is fixed will be obvious to all observers.

Just 2 days to the kick off and we are already getting issues of manipulating the game to get results that would be pleasing to the host. It might be  rumors at the moment but, its hard to imagine it not having an element of truth. Qatar is a pretty much rich nation and they've put in so much to make this tournament spectacular and it would be a shame to not advance much in the World Cup.

I was thinking the same thing. When you read this thread, most posts are about Argentina and it's for a reason you mentioned - their streak of 36 matches they manage to stay unbeaten. It's impressive.

Argentina right now are one of the best options looking at the squad there got and there performance. Not to mention, it's probably Messi's last World Cup and his best chance to win his second and lacking trophy with his country. His sure to make Argentina better and they've got the squad for it.

[Bobrox]

We hope that Sadio Mane can help strengthen the Senegal squad, but conditions have forced him to give up the desire to help his country in the WC. Senegal when making the announcement regarding Sadio Mane also did not expect it to not happen, but they believe there will be other players who can give a good role to the Senegal national team.

Have official confirmed about Sadio Mane can't participants in World Cup due injured although ever his name in the squad list for Senegal national team. Sadio Mane is favorite player for Senegal and seems most disappointed lately have loss him just one week before World Cup begin.

Senegal will face host Qatar in the inaugural match of the 2022 World Cup, with Mane's absence slightly changing the composition of the players, especially on attacking line, I don't think with  Sadio Mane absent make Senegal have weakness because still have several potential player can replace position leaving by Mane.

It will be the last world cup for Lionel Messi. In fact, most of them support Messi. I have to admit that in this world cup I support Argentina because I also support Messi. Because Messi deserves such a legendary final with his character and personality. Also, according to the statistics in the news I read, if Messi plays in the final of the World Cup, he will play the 1000th football match of his career. It's like the football gods had a plan for him.

Lionel Messi would need to feature in all of Argentina’s World Cup clashes to be in with any chance of reaching the incredible feat

Lionel Messi could play his 1000th career game in the World Cup final in Doha on December 18. In what could prove to be a sensational outcome for the 35-year-old, Messi would have to play in just o…

but there is always some truth in every rumor and i would trust qatar and its football association as well as their members with a lot. unfortunately, you can achieve a lot with money (with the people who need it more) ... greed eats brain
this will be the most corrupt tournament ever and actually i was always for the underdogs in such big tournaments but the wish that qatar will be eliminated from the tournament so quickly and without any chance or will not make it through the group phase was never as big as now

I support your idea Cygan that a suspicion is very close to the truth. I still remember how a corrupt case that occurred in 2015 involving a number of high-ranking officials so that Sepp Blatter who served as president fell from office and the investigation continued to the 2022 World Cup.

In a neatly crafted bad scenario if true. FIFA President - Gianni Infantino, at the meeting of the leaders of the G20 countries in Bali Indonesia said Football unites the world. If later after the World Cup in Qatar it is proven that there is a case like the one we discussed, then the appropriate sentence is not football unites the world, but money can rule football.

yes if that happens it will damage qatar's name too of course so i think they wont do it just to get fake win, its a big event so there wont be possible also there will be match fixing mafia, everyone will bet a lot with their money during world cup matches of course there will be a lot of money coming to gambling sites, can't wait for the world cup event to start in a few days

And what I know is that Qatar will compete with Sanegal after Qatar vs Ecuador in the opening and first match of the 2022 World Cup and in the second match the next day Netherlands vs Sanegal, so Qatar vs Sanegal is not the first match at the 2022 World Cup and this is the second match.
and yes Mane will certainly be absent from the Senegal national team during the 2022 World Cup considering he just underwent surgery to repair a right fibula injury, and of course this news will be a big loss for the Senegal national team during its inaugural match against the Netherlands which is not an easy opponent. And Qatar will be the next opponent, considering that Mane is Sanegal's mainstay player.

It's really unfortunate when you hear that Sadio Mane can't appear to strengthen his country. It's hard to accept this fact, but that's how it is in football, unexpected things happen, even in just a short time. Sadio Mane is an important player in Senegal's attack line, of course losing him will have an impact on the composition of players who usually occupy that position. I hope this doesn't affect Senegal's game too much by not joining Sadio Mane in their game. Instead they have to show that they don't just depend on one player.

That is match fixing if proven to be true FIFA will heavily sanction those involved in the deal both the countries and the players involved will be ban and fined because those involved wanted to bring a bad reputation to competition though it's still a rumour until a thorough investigation is instituted by the Football governing body, I hope the scandal is untrue though I can't rule out some shady deals by some Arab countries because of their oil wealth, Qatar doesn't have a formidable football team however will seek every available opportunity to avoid non qualification from the group stage.

But I see that some Argentine defenders are not strong enough to face countries that have strikers who are thirsty for goals, that's what Argentina has to watch out for because many football observers think that Argentina's weakness is in their defenders, that's what they will do. take advantage of by other countries, to bring down Argentina, because many attackers have fast runners, who always rely on their speed in chasing the ball, seeing from the players the Argentine defender does not have the mentality of a fighter for 1 on 1 and does not have speed in running, at least the Argentine coach can anticipate the weaknesses of their defenders, because they still have time to improve as much as possible..

Yes Sadio Mane would be missed but too much of the crying now Senegal has to face what's front ahead
Facing Netherland won't be easy with the experience Van Gaal who has taken them very far
Van Gaal will demand to see his side top the group again by all cost, but what is more important is how far they can play in the tournament

Mane joins the list of many players that are going to miss the world cup because of injury, it is very sad, and Fifa has to take the blame that a lot of players are missing because of the time that the world cup is being played, these players have played many matches for their clubs before this world cup, some of them only left their club's like 7 days ago, it should not be so, the players are going to be tired and we may not enjoy this world cup. I feel sorry for Mane and Senegal, he is their best player and they are in the world cup because of him, they will miss him for as long as Senegal are in the tournament and not just in one single game.

Louis Van Gaal is in charge of the team and he will leave the post of coach after the World Cup. The Dutch football players will give at all for Van Gaal.

Pretty Penged Picks, But really you shouldn't include France, Why ?!  I won't argue on this though they're going no where one step above the ground stage and they'll be knocked out of the tournament, this prediction is from me for them, but Brazil and Argentina will go far, speaking to my Uncle and he told me how this world Cup would be like the year 2002 when Brazilians emerged winner's of the competition. Maybe a South American Side would win but who ?! We'll see bout that.

Louis Van Gaal already had good experience with the Dutch side, I don't doubt his capabilities amd I know what quality they posses, won't be boggled if they eventually wins. But that said, Portugal remains my number 1 option. A bit biased wants Ronaldo to win the world Cup and retire Fulltime hundred percent with peace. ✌️

To be honest, I also want to see Cristiano Ronaldo become world champion. He is a great football player and deserves the title of world champion. But it became known a few hours ago that Manchester United are exploring ways to terminate Ronaldo’s contract at the club without compensation. I think this incident will have a negative impact on Cristiano. Or vice versa anger and motivate him.

No, I am convinced that that would not impact him negatively. The guy has achieved too much and he went through too much trouble that this could now become an issue for him. Keep in mind that it is even in his own interest if the contract gets terminated.

As for the world cup I think that from that perspective both Messi and Ronaldo deserve it. For me as a soccer fan Argentina vs. Portugal would probably be the best final I could ever dream of for this world cup as it is probably the last time we will see the two competing for the biggest trophy that's out there. They have met on all stages, so maybe we can become witnesses to another last duel between them.
