FIFA 2022 world cup

Of course, Brazil's game with Croatia will not be similar to the ones already played and it will not be easy for the teams to beat, in the match with Japan, the Croats decided not to risk and turn the match into an over and a penalty shootout, I think they will have to show more open football with Brazil.

Croatia was lucky enough when it was against japan but that would be different when croatia will be facing brazil. Brazil has so many stars that can destroy croatia anytime. Brazil has neymar that is playing now. that will become a disaster for modric and friends to face brazil.
I think that brazil will be dominating the match against croatia. I was taking the result against japan as the best case to determine what's gonna happen with the match. Brazil will be surely dominating the ball possessions against croatia.
Croatia can always defend and waiting for the chance to make counter attack against brazil like when croatia against japan.

Croatia strike and attack is very good ,Yesterday they could have scored 3 goals but Japan goalkeeper did hsi job vigilantly and stops all their efforts.
Yes when you are playing against Brazil that's a whole new level of game and pressure on Croatia but anything can happen just they have to maintain their control on ball and strike at right moment.
Too much ball possesion is not important for winning just control reasonably .

Spain have been convincing since the group stage and I don't think there is any reason why I doubted their capacity and ability today to win. But the round of 16 will be very different as Morocco will likely do whatever it takes to win and qualify for the quarter-finals. I would back Spain to win by more than 3 goals but if Morocco score first then Spain will be in trouble.

Spain's game is almost like Barcelona, ​​they play short passes. In the group stages Spain was always dominant in possession of the ball. The problem for Spanyol that sometimes comes is that they get confused when many players are on the defensive line.
Maybe Morocco will do that and rely on quick counter attacks. Apart from that, Morocco had to lock up Gavi so that he could not be free to create opportunities to giving passes.

Before I thought Morocco might beat Spain and/or hold a 0-0 draw and it would be decided on penalties but again and again, I stuck with the seeded team and also considered the result from Brazil yesterday. This factor is enough to make me not have the courage to bet on the minority because from the odds it is also clear, that Spain is indeed projected to win.
Maybe it seems that the results in the group phase do not fully guarantee the non-seeded teams to get good results again in this knockout phase, so the seeded teams are still predicted to win on paper.

I hope the results are in accordance with what was predicted, because it will really hurt if in fact Morocco can maintain their good trend at this moment.
Also, good luck to you because it looks like you are also pretty sure this match will have over 3 goals. Because I personally, with the Morocco trend in the group phase like that, have the ability to be able to hold the match so as not to produce many goals. So maybe that will also happen in this match, because I think Spain is very likely to get a stalemate if Morocco does a good defense, then of course this match will end in a draw or just win with a narrow score.

Spain will dominate the match again but they must play carefully and avoid giving Morocco too many space to run. In this World Cup, Morata is playing better than in Euro 2020 and it is helpful for Spain to have goals. Their midfielders can create opportunities but a striker like Morata is important for their formation.

The games today will be like the games yesterday where the big teams expected to win will not disappoint. They know the importance of getting to the quarter finals and will not want to take it easy on the lower ranked teams. I think there will be goals before the first half ends in the Spain game, but Spain will win, Portugal will win too, but not as easily as Spain will. The main discussion after today will become the game between Spain and Portugal and which team will be Eliminated, plus the team to go further, that will be the biggest test for the two teams if they win today.

[makishart]

Definately morroco is a good side from the nation cup i saw that team as a team that never up or giving up is not option to them,so i thing if they put in more force they can even draw spain.

It's very hard for morocco to face spain. Spain has no impressive performance during the group qualified but im sure that spain will be going all in against morocco. Morocco itself must be careful with spain as it can lose with lots of goals against spain.
I think that morocco is capable enough to force the game to be draw and doing penalty but with the current line up of spain and im not sure if that's gonna be an easy task for morocco.
Spain has become the most favorite team in this match. Let's see how many goals will be made by spain against morocco. that seems an easy match for spain for sure.

Maybe you are right, the Spanish game is almost like Barcelona but that is the identity of Spanish football. But Spain is a bit different from Barcelona in that Enrique doesn't expect Gavi and Pedri to be in the penalty area more often than they were at Barcelona. Spain might have struggled to score goals had Morocco been defensive in the first half, but due to their domination of the pitch I think Spain would have created chances on their own and scored.

Some people might think Morocco will be very strong for Spain today and they will beat Spain. I personally am not sure about that even though Morocco actually has an advantage in some of its players, but that will never be enough considering the distribution of quality Spanish players can be said to be better than Morocco. But let's see how these two play today, I still make Spain the favorite to win.

Yes, the Japanese team was really good, they fought on equal terms with Croatia. The penalty shootout was very strange.
The first shooters from Japan looked confused and of the 3 misses, only once the Croatian goalkeeper really helped, the remaining 2 out of 3 is the miss of the shooters.

What are you talking about? The Japanese team was successful on one out of four penalty kicks, and Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livaković made critical saves three times. There were no misses on goal by the shooters on the Japanese side.

[skarais]

Unfortunately the team we support has been eliminated from the round of 16. For me, Japan still lost with honor. They were able to keep their form up to 90 minutes with a draw and forced Croatia to win on penalties. This is a great world cup for Japan. Unlike in 2018, in this world cup, they are in 1 group with the 2 best world cup teams from Europe, Germany and Spain. they are going to this round with top standing.

The failure of the Japanese players to take a penalty gave the impression that their players did not have the mental strength when facing one on one with the goalkeeper. They were able to hold out for 120 minutes, but when they had chances in the penalty shoot-out, that was where the mentality of the players was tested.

I'm not surprised by the failure of Japan and other Asian teams because I think Croatia and Brazil are really much better quality. Japan lost honorably, I don't think so, but they may have fought for a place to the end.

Now it's time to wait for Spain vs Morocco, what do you think?

[Gencecikmen]

Brazil and Korea Republic match end with 4-1. But it was a good game. Also both of team congratulations. The result sets up an  quarter-final matchup with Croatia vs. Brazil. Yesterday, both of Japan and Korea Republic eliminated of the tournament. I usually want underdog teams not to be eliminated. I was sad that they were eliminated.

Morocco did not concede a single goal from Belgium and Croatia, why did you decide that in the match with Spain something should change cardinally? I don't think that after a great game in defense on group stage, Morocco will concede many goals in the first playoff match, although Spain has already shown how it can do it in the match with Costa Rica, but this is a rival of a different level, you should not compare them. But I also doubt that Morocco can expect to win today, the Spaniards are very strong.

Brazil and Korea Republic match end with 4-1. But it was a good game. Also both of team congratulations. The result sets up an  quarter-final matchup with Croatia vs. Brazil. Yesterday, both of Japan and Korea Republic eliminated of the tournament. I usually want underdog teams not to be eliminated. I was sad that they were eliminated.

Japan has the chance but they became less patient on second half after they get their first goal unlike there start that they are very cautious and making less error or goal attempt. They fight Croatia toe to toe despite they had the lead even though they are so weak individually on 1 on 1. There forward is always can’t attack on 1v1 while Croatia can always penetrate their defense easily. They just become more defensive when Croatia scored and tie the match.

Japan is weak when it comes to a blow by blow match because their players is inferior to Croatia. But their team work is superb which they should stick until the end. The penalty kick for tie breaker only show how dominant Croatia in terms of individual skills.

Yesterday, both of Japan and Korea Republic eliminated of the tournament. I usually want underdog teams not to be eliminated. I was sad that they were eliminated.

First of all, football fans never expected such a bad performance from South Korea. Against Brazil, their team's defense lineup performed badly. Brazil, on the other hand, have to be praised, they showed their team's skills in that match. Brazil showed against South Korea how well football can be displayed. And Brazil secured a huge 4-1 win.

Between these two teams, England vs Senegal, we have seen that England won the match by scoring 3 goals. Although Senegal had a great performance in the previous matches, they did not score any goals in this match.  This match was won by 3 goals. England team is much stronger now. I thought the game would be better.

England is a strong team, we all know that. Netherlands, France, Argentina are strong teams. They managed to go to the next round, but the star of this world cup will be Brazil in my opinion. If they raise another trophy this year, it should be considered very normal. They beat South Korea by playing top to bottom. They can easily pass that level in the next round.

In Brazil vs South Korea game Brazil played very well and Brazil won by many big goals.  Which re-introduced Brazil as stronger again. Brazil qualified for the quarter finals and will play with Croatia in the quarter finals. Maybe they will win that match too.  and will participate in the semi-finals . And maybe Brazil will face Argentina in the final match.  That would be a great match .

There is no doubt that Brazil is a strong team. their landslide victory over South Korea was what they deserved with such a game. Moreover, South Korea was unable to close the gap so that quick goal from Brazil really messed them up. If only the game that South Korea showed in the second half was their game in the first half then I'm very sure they wouldn't lose badly like this. Their mentality is not strong enough to advance to the next round.

[Warkop]

Morocco will be though opponent for Spain today that they have capable to became an dark horses team and not easy to beat Morocco and it proven from group stage that Belgium and Croatia weren't able to beat Morocco even Belgium has lose from them and meetings statistics from Spain and Morocco showed both of teams has been meet each other on world cup 2018 and the results from that match is both of them has been playing draw and for today match although Spain has slightly the favourite but Morocco will attempts to steal goal early and for betting option over 2.5 goals might be good considering Morocco and Spain are quite productive on group stage

Morocco is very strong at this year's World Cup, they are really a country that is being questioned by big countries, Spain is under pressure from some Moroccan players, hopefully they can win tonight's game, in order to qualify for the top 8, even though Spain is on top paper that they will win this match, but Morocco will not remain silent, for sure will provide a very fierce resistance.

Penalty kicks are the most difficult thing for football players compared to scoring a goal in a match, they must be able to control their emotions and be calm in executing them, maybe the Japanese players really haven't mastered that yet so their kicks are easily guessed by the Croatian goalkeeper, but whatever it is the game is over and croatia has won that game

Japanese players have to learn a lot more in executing penalty kicks, their body movements are very predictable for the Croatian goalkeeper who makes three kicks from Japanese players successfully thwarted easily.
Apart from needing calm in executing a Penalty kick, body movements also greatly affect the outcome of a kick. Goalkeepers are more dominant in reading the executor's body movements and then guessing the direction of the ball, deceptive moves like Ronaldinho's are very difficult to read by the opposing goalkeeper.
The result of the match will be a lesson for Japan so they can learn more about how to execute penalties properly.

Although Spain is favorite (sorry, I can't help, I'm a Spaniard), Moroccan team is really capable of surprising us all with their unconventional style on the field.

On the other hand, Morocco is preferred in Qatar (what else?) so the environment won't help Spain either. We'll have to wait, but I foresee a match that will make people talk.

[rojan]

Morocco vs Spain The game between these two teams has started. So far neither team has been able to score. I can see the quality of Spain's game in this match. However, it is not clear which team will score until the end. The team that wins this match will be able to play the next match and the team that loses will have to get ready to go back to the country.

[tranthidung]

What are you talking about? The Japanese team was successful on one out of four penalty kicks, and Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livaković made critical saves three times. There were no misses on goal by the shooters on the Japanese side.

Honestly looke at their inhales (if you actually watch the full penalty shoot-out), I had feeling that these players will fail especially Minamito and Mitoma. Yoshida looked to have better, smoother inhale but his shot is bad too.

Japanese players have to learn a lot more in executing penalty kicks, their body movements are very predictable for the Croatian goalkeeper who makes three kicks from Japanese players successfully thwarted easily.

They must practice it more in training as practice makes perfect but it is only preparation. In real situation, pressure is very huge and mentality will be keys to turn your good training to a good penalty shot.

Japanese players might have limited penalty shot in training but it's a first time their players faced it in knock-out match of World Cup. With expectation and their ambition to go to a first quarter match in their history, pressure would be bigger too.

If their opponent is a weaker one, their players would be more confident but the opponent is Croatia that won two penalty shoot-outs in World Cup 2018, four years ago.

Currently, Morocco performance is quite good and their struggle to reach the top 16 is considered very difficult. But in the end, they have to meet Spain and maybe they won't have too many chances to qualify. Even though Spain is currently filled with young players, in fact, they are able to play solidly. I am not discouraged even though I really want a little surprise from Morocco because I think the dark horse national team must have a good role in the World Cup.
