FIFA 2022 world cup

[dataispower]

I feel like better teams are going to next rounds all around. Luck isn't something very influencing in this tournament. If this trend goes on Brazil will very likely bring world cup to their home. I don't think Croatia can go to next round. There is huge power difference between them.
I also want to watch Brazil against Portugal soon. Their match can be the most enjoyable match in whole tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo is key player tho.

It was quite surprising to see that Portugal was able to win with a landslide score from Switzerland and it seems that Portugal didn't need to worry when Ronaldo was no longer defending their national team because new talents kept popping up in Portugal. Brazil is a strong team but Croatia can trouble them in this quarter-final if the Croatian defense can keep out the attacks from the Brazilian attackers it is very possible that it will go to extra time but penalties I don't think I can't remember when Brazil faced that.

After yesterday's closing 1/8 games, I have another team that I think is a contender for the final - Portugal. I also was surprised by their excellent performance against Switzerland. Haven't seen Portugal play like that in a long time. As for Brazil and Croatia, I think Croatia will lose in regulation time. Most likely the game will not come down to a penalty shootout. It's hard to call Croatia a semi-final contender at the moment.

I have always know Portugal was a good team. They have very good squad that are balanced all round. They have a good midfield, good defense and good attack. Ronaldo was a hindrance to their fluidity because he doesn't press and when he gets the ball he can't do much with it. Don't get me wrong, if he gets the ball in a good position, mostly inside the box, he might score but the opponents know this so they'll surround him and make sure he doesn't get the ball in the box. Most times they don't even let him go to the box. If he stays upfront without pressing the team suffers. It was evident yesterday. He's a great player that has achieved so much but if Portugal are to reach the final they have to bench him.

If Morocco also goes on the defensive as in the match with Spain, then I think it will also be difficult for Portugal to realize its offensive capabilities, but at the same time there is a possibility of conceding a goal in a counterattack, although I did not see much enthusiasm from Morocco, a very viscous team.

[hyudien]

He was not seen much because he did not start the game, he was on the bench and only came on for the last 16 minutes or so. The big problem Ronaldo has is that Portugal played so good without him, so even in the next match against Morocco the coach may decide to still keep him on the bench again, and that may cause problems in the internal camp of Portugal because Ronaldo always causes problems when he is benched.

It's true, and I noticed the rhythm of the game without Ronaldo and after Ronaldo became slower. I don't know if this is true or not but as far as I can see Portugal's attacking strategy has become a bit lax. Apart from all that, in my opinion, even in the match against Morocco, Ronaldo will be a backup again for the second time. Portugal performance against Switzerland is considered to be the best performance in this year's World Cup. Freer play, and solid ball control the Portuguese players enjoyed that.

[Fakhrulenclix]

Portugal has a lot of skill and it was a pleasure to watch all those goals.

I think it will be an easy game against Morocco, but then again Spain should have been able to win without issues, yet they ended up losing.

Portugal will probably go all out and try to score early in the game to manage a comfortable winning.

Ronaldo wasn't seen too much in the game, so hopefully we'll see more of him in the next one.

Portugal and Brazil in the round of 16 really showed their superiority.
Brazil managed to beat South Korea with a score of 4-1. and Portugal also managed to beat Switzerland with a score of 6-1.
Brazil will next play Croatia. and I think Brazil will win in that match.
and Portugal in the next match will be against Morocco. and of course Portugal too I think will be able to win the match. I imagine Brazil and Portugal will meet in the final.

Portugal and Brazil are indeed the favourites, but anything is still possible, especially in the Portugal vs Morocco match.
Morocco is one of the teams that has made a splash so far, they were not seeded to win the group and beat Spain but they did just that as well in their next game against Portugal.
I think anything is still possible in this match and the odds are still 50-50 for both teams.

while in Brazil's match against Croatia, of course, on paper, Brazil will be able to win this match, especially since the players in their current squad are very good in all aspects.
I do not deny that in this match Brazil is the favorite.

This is what I said before Morocco should be able to play the same game as against Spain only in that way would they have a chance
Portugal must avoid a penalty shootout if they want to keep going because Morocco is very good in penalty shootout
What we saw when Spain was defeated is proof that their capabilities must be wary of

Portugal vs Switzerland In this match, Portugal performed very well from the beginning to the end. Switzerland scored 1 goal in the match in 58 minutes. Switzerland failed to score after playing well in the match. Portugal won the match by 4 goals. I am really surprised Portugal scored 4 goals in the match.  I didn't expect it. Later I saw that Portugal won the match by 4 goals.

Portugal was dominating the whole of matc. Switzerland can do nothing against it. It proves that portugal is reliable team to win the world cup and ronaldo is also playing so well. The way of portugal dominating the match is pretty much the same like when argentina or brazil were dominating its opponents. I hope that the dream match between portugal against argentina in the final will be happening. That will become the most crazy match in the world between ronaldo and messi.
Both will be using what they have to win the match against each other.

Yes, Ronaldo is a great player in the Portuguese team and is captain for a reason, but I agree with you that his time has probably come to an end. In this championship, Portugal have shown new players in the national team, due to which the team is playing well so far. The last time Portugal achieved first place in the European Cup was in 2016. After that, I do not remember any major progress. It will be interesting to see what they can do in this World Cup.

[rendravolt]

Not Cristiano Ronaldo, not Lionel Messi and not Kylian Mbappe, the scorer of the first hat trick in the 2022 world cup was Goncalo Ramos, he started to replace Ronaldo in the match against Switzerland. With an absolute 6-1 win over Switzerland, Portugal's move to the quarter finals is definitely safe and ready to meet Morocco to fight for a ticket to the semifinals.
Goncalo Ramos has been a Benfica player since 2020 until now, but surely people will start to recognize him through this world cup match. Against Morocco, I hope he can start again as a starter with the duo Joao Felix who is so extraordinary with his skill game. For Ronaldo, it's better to stay on the bench because Portugal plays far more optimally when these young players have the freedom to carry out creative attacks and not rely on just one person.

I didn't expect that someone without big name will score the first hatrick. I was thinking it will be Mbappe that will score the first hatrick or Saka or Rashford but as Rashford was not seeing frequent matches I counted him out. Surprisingly another person did it. Congratulations to Ramos.
It is now obvious that Erik Ten Hag was not wrong when he was benching Ronaldo. Nobody can beat nature.

Looking at last night's match, of course Portugal is the right opponent to face Brazil in the 2022 world cup final. Both have similarities in terms of attack and individual creativity of each player. They also have young players who fill the starter line up, so if that happens it will make the match even more beautiful to watch.

Yes, coach Fernando Santos's decision here is very correct to reserve Ronaldo, we have to admit he has been one of the GOATs for the past 2 decades but getting older cannot fight against the strong competition between players on the field and that requires him to be willing to give up his position for players who are far away. younger so that the intensity of the attack is getting stronger.

No one ever thought that without Ronaldo Portugal can perform so much better. They have dominated in almost all the games they have played in this world cup. No doubt they are the favourite and so is Brazil. England is also a better team and the next game that they will play is against France. Either of them will stay in this World Cup and since Portugal has not won a world cup the chance of them getting the cup is high.

Morocco has one of the strongest defenses in this World Cup. And because of this strong defense, they were able to defeat mighty Spain and Belgium. Belgium and Spain were one of the two favorite teams in this year's World Cup. And both teams were defeated by Morocco. So I see no reason to think that Portugal will win against Morocco. Morocco's players now have plenty of confidence. Morocco has the ability to beat Portugal.

[execijutiere]

If we look at the results of yesterday's matches, I want to say that it was a surprise for me. Especially the Morocco vs Spain match was a surprise for everyone. Nobody expected Morocco to eliminate Spain. This completely changed the course of the world cup in a way. It is the fault of the Spanish team that they played such a pressing football and didn't score. In penalties, it was the last point that they didn't score any penalties.
Portugal got a result that I never expected. I honestly didn't expect so many goals from this match. Gonçalo ramos showed his difference and led Portugal to victory.

Portugal showed some mind-blowing performance 6-1 what a win and without Ronaldo.  This shows Portugal is strong without Cristiano Ronaldo and can win any match easily.
Brilliant performance by . Ramos he did a hatrick .
With this type of game we are looking forward to see Portugal in finals.

Spanish team played like they are always playing - endless passes and no one to actually score a goal. I'm glad that it costed them because now they will have to change something. Yes, it's nice to see them passing the ball in the center of the field, but you can't win if you don't shoot at the goal. Too bad for some of the older players for which this was probably their last World Cup.

well, Portugal can still play well even though in the first round Cristiano Ronaldo was not played. overall every player has a very good skill. but the individual skills of the Brazilian players may be superior. and in teamwork Portugal and Brazil are really solid.

for England vs France match. I would probably favor France. although actually I'm not sure which one will be superior in this match.

Yes, for some players it will be the last World Cup. In fact, Spain has a young squad, but I think the coach has been incompetent. It doesn't make sense to me that he put in a young and talented player like Ansu fati in extra time. It's just strange that when Olmo and Torres are playing so badly, the other young players on the bench are not given a chance. They have a lot of things to change for sure. I hope they were very disappointed to lose to a team like Morocco.

Portugal showed yesterday that they can easily play without Ronaldo. Maybe his fans don't want to hear that, but it was obvious. They have won against Switzerland just like Brazil won over South Korea. OK, maybe Switzerland showed a little more than Korea.

I'm looking forward to the game between England and France. I think France will win and send England home once again without a trophy.

I'm sure that the coach will be the first thing Spain will change. Maybe they already change him. I didn't read the news today. The problem with Spain is their style of play. You can't play like that against Morocco. Endless passes and no shooting on the goal leads nowhere. And what the hell was with their penalties? None of the Spain players scored from the penalty.

When Spanish players failed to scored penalties that was a disastrous moment for all the world and Spain,  like what was their state of mind and why they were soo stressed
 Spain played exceptionally in starting games of the world cup and yesterday they were performing total different.
Morocco on other hand were more  confident and how easily they scored penalties was amazing.

Regarding Morocco, it's actually not a strange result for me personally, because I also previously said it was very possible for this match to end goalless and it would be decided by penalties. But what surprised me was only the result in the penalty shootout itself, because how come three shots from Spain didn't score at all.
At least that was the only surprise for me, because about a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes for me it's not something strange because Morocco themselves did have that ability in the group stage too.

Concerning Portugal with a big win is a surprise and what's more, Portugal can win big without involving Ronaldo in the starting line-up. I think the Ronaldo era is really over, because so far this World Cup is also the reality that Roaldo only has one goal. What's more, Ronaldo's goal were also only created from penalty kicks when playing against Ghana, in the early match of the group stage.
Also, Ronaldo has had no assists so far and results like this, so Portugal don't really need Ronaldo to play 90 minutes anymore and it looks like this situation is the same as what happened at Manchester United as well.

Portugal has clearly studied Morocco's game when they beat Spain and they will continue to look for strategies to anticipate every style of Moroccan play before their match begins.
Morocco's defense against Spain was good. This is proven by the statistics obtained during the game.

According to my observations when they beat Spain, Morocco won a total of 16 tackles or around 62%. Successful clearances totaled 41. Apart from that, Morocco also won in duel statistics which is about 55%.

Morocco's statistics against Spain indicate that their defense is filled with players who have the posture ready to block if Portugal plays a back pass or long pass.

[GigaBit]

The reflection of Spain's weakness in the tiebreaker that was seen in yesterday's match. Their misfortune of Spain did not end in the World Cup this time. In the 2002 World Cup, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing to South Korea in a tiebreaker. In the 2018 World Cup, Spain failed to reach the quarter-finals after losing to the host Russia in a tiebreaker. In Euro 2020, they lost to Italy in a tiebreaker in the semi-finals. The same tiebreaker-disappointment in the last sixteen of the World Cup against Morocco tomorrow. But sadly they prepared them self in this World Cup only to win the tiebreaker. It is known that every footballer in Spain scored about 1000 tiebreaker goals as practice but luck did not help them. Morocco won the tiebreaker 3-0.
