FIFA 2022 world cup

[Ratash]

For the World Cup finale, there are quite a few teams as favourites now. The first teams that come to my mind are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and France for example. One of these four teams can really make it to the championship at the end. I see people talking about Argentina recently but I think Brazil are a slightly better team than them now. I liked Brazil more than Argentina in the qualification round in South America. Brazil have ended up as the leader. Both teams haven't been the champions in the World Cup for long years so it would be nice to see one of them doing it this time.

Yes i totaly agree it seems that these teams are the ones with most chances to succed even if france are not showing a good performance recently they are still one of the favourites i think brazil is better than argentina because first of all there is a difference in the players quality not to mention that some of argentina players are new to the squad and they are still young, its the first time for them to compete in a high level competition, my money is on brazil to win the world cup.

This is an interesting question and one that came to my mind several possibilities!

Some teams are Germany and maybe even France would have a chance, and lastly, I believe Brazil would have the capacity.
We also have Argentina and even Portugal, but with less chances of being champions of the first countries I mentioned above.

Let's see how each national team will behave during the first stage of this Fifa World Cup!

[TopT3ns]

yes I agree with you, there are many young talents in other national teams.  and this will be an event that we are very much looking forward to. 
speaking of messi, however he deserves attention with the skills he has.  he is a natural and brilliant player i am one of his fans as well as argentina, even though in 2014 messi couldn't bring his country to win at least being runner up is nothing to be ashamed of.  by the way I can't wait for every game of this world cup. 
I support two countries Germany and Argentina

For me apart from Germany and Argentina, Brazil is also my favorite but this time I have to admit that Brazil is not in a position to win the worldcup. More sad aspect of this worldcup is that its the last worldcup of Messi and Ronaldo, so we won't see them again.

Brazil still has a chance to win it's just that it probably won't be as smooth as it was in the cup last month, at least there are some big teams that have great players and are ready to score a win in the 2022 cup match, Rondaldo it's time to enjoy the old days but I sure messi is still able to continue to compete because he is still around 35 and still has enough time to compete again.

[Gosgosking]

This world cup will be tough and different , the team that can win the cup maybe a team that no one will expect a win from now. I'm not sure if Argentina can win the Cup this time around,  their other tough teams who are very prepared to see they take cup .

[nullama]

Here are the groups for the World Cup:



The Final will have one team from the top row and one from the bottom row.

This means that the final for the World Cup 2022 can actually be Brazil vs Argentina, both teams have been defeated zero times so far.

That would be an incredible final.

This time, it is going to be a tournament that is dominated by 35 plus players. I am not just talking about Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Lionel Messi of Argentina. Look at the other teams. Most of the top players are 35+. Kasper Schmeichel of Danmark, Manuel Neuer of Germany and Karim Benzema of France are examples. Even Neymar is in his 30s now. This means two things. Players are retiring late, thanks to better training and fitness regimen, and younger players are finding it more difficult to break in to the top level.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, there is no denying that Messi and Dyubala together with DiMaria noodle are not going to disappoint, in fact I hope that there will be a match between Argentina and Portugal, because both Messi and CR7 will seek to obtain the world title, the closest to win was Messi and he was disappointed, if something similar happens, I think Messi will not touch another ball in any team, he could not stand it, he also has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, I think he will have to get a lot of help from his teammates, this World Cup will be very exciting, I hope that all war environment ends and can occur normally.

Both Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María are 34 years old. Cristiano Ronaldo is 37 years old. I don't expect these players to play with the same amount of ferocity they had a few years back. Paulo Dybala is young, but he hasn't caught up with the expectations. I am still hopeful about Argentina making it to the final, but not so sure about Portugal. The latter is essentially a one man army, and in case we have a Argentina vs Portugal match, in all probability it will be during the pre-quarter final or the quarter-final stage.

Well, as a good South American, I emphasize that Messi would be spectacular if he could win this World Cup, but he still needs to have a team that gives him that support, Di María is a very good player, but because he is so skinny he gets tired very quickly and is constantly suffering injuries, Dybala is a footballer on the rise who has had very good experience in European football, I think he is the one who should contribute the most to Messi, on the other hand, you have a reason for CR7, for me the classification of Portugal was very weak In fact, they almost don't go, but eventually when these teams reach the World Cup they tend to grow a lot, almost like Brazil, Brazil usually starts the World Cup with very weak matches, but then they sweep, I don't know if they have strength for the end.


I was watching a piece of news, but I don't know if it's real or maybe not, but it announced that perhaps for the next World Cup qualifiers, South America would expand the World Cup quotas to 6 places, if this is the case it will be very interesting , the curious thing is that it only said South America, for Europe it would also apply.

The next world cup, 2026, will be hosted in Canada, USA, and Mexico. All those 3 will be qualified because they're hosts. Also, there will be extra slots for all the confederations.

The 2026 World Cup will have 48 qualified teams instead of the 32 teams of 2022. So that's going to be an extra 16 teams for the next world cup, selected from all the confederations.

It will be the first time that some confederations will be able to qualify directly instead of having to go to play-offs.

Here's the detailed table with the new spots:

This year's Qatar world cup will be filled with several star players who are over 35 years old and will be their last world cup this year such as Cristiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi Manuel Neuer and also Karim Benzema, although it contains players who are 35+ of course it will make the game even more fierce considering that they will go all out for their respective countries because this is the last tournament for some of the world's star players, while there are also some players who are still 30+ years old, and we also believe in these players that age is only a definite number they can bring out the maximum ability at an age that is no longer young

I don’t think that their age will matter much because these player’s have shown that they can yet perform at the highest level, plus with all the experience behind them they’ll definitely be an asset for their team and help the youngsters settle in too. Lastly I don’t fancy Brazil winning it because I feel that they’ll choke when it’ll matter the most, hence in my personal opinion they won’t be winning the World Cup.

yes I agree with you, there are many young talents in other national teams.  and this will be an event that we are very much looking forward to.

Talk is going more heated as we are heading for next world cup which is going to play in November in this year in Qatar mean first time in the Middle East which is very interesting for world because it is very small country, and we already have too much negative news about this selection which mostly talked they have this hosting due to bribers which were offered to few persons but now all end, and we are starting to talk who is going to win because it is very interesting event with too many teams are favourite and few are having very skilled and quality players those are capable of changing things very drastically but right now peoples having own favourites and mostly loved Brazil, Argentina, Germany and France instead of favourite from Bookmakers.

Well.. I have the same opinion about Brazil as well. When it matters the most, they fail to win matches. Brazil is being regarded as the strongest team by many. And yet, the last time they won the world cup was two decades back (2002 edition, hosted by South Korea and Japan). And last time in 2018, they had a horrendous tournament, and they were defeated by Belgium during the Quarter-final stage. And back then they had a star studded team, with players such as Neymar, Willian, Fred and Paulinho.

Seeing their journey and ability in the Copa America some time ago could be a reason for us to favorite Brazil and Argentina as the 2022 world cup champions, but I don't think we can forget Spain which also has a young and strong squad as champions competitors, but to be honest from the depth of the existing squad I prefer to make Belgia as my favourite, even though they have now dropped to FIFA 2nd place but the current Belgian squad is quite capable besides that they also get relatively easy opponents in the group phase.

Good guess, but I think France or England have a better chance of facing Brazil in the final. But Brazil also need to beat Belgium, Germany or Spain. I think there are a lot of favourites for the final match, but certainly Brazil is the main one. Also, we must not forget that surprises often happen in big championships.

Brazil has a very good squad that is capable of competing favorably for the world cup trophy. But I cannot say the same for the Argentine side. Most of Argentina's key players are getting old, hence they might not be very strong in the world Cup. The Belgian side is not as strong as they were last four years. They drew with a lowly rated Wales and lost woefully to the Netherlands in the European Nation's league. They might be able to get to the quarter finals because they are not currently strong enough to lift the world.

I am almost 100% sure that there will be two European teams in the final. Brazil - Argentina is a loud sign in terms of history, but in my opinion now you can make at least 5-6 pairs without these teams that will be most interesting. In the end, there is a separate cup for this couple (America's Cup) and some European teams rarely meet, especially in the finals.

Thanks for sharing that image with us @nullama

Some groups will be easy games, others can be extremely fierce!

I confess... Brazil vs Argentina is a possibility to be considered!

Let's see how the strongest teams will behave in this group stage

Major European teams can knock out Brazil. When I remember the match in which Germany scored 7 goals against Brazil, I think that a tournament where every possibility is waiting for us. For the World Cup, I see France, Brazil, Netherlands and Argentina as favorites on paper.

Absolutely.

It will be an amazing World Cup.

My guess is that these teams will perform extremely well:

Netherlands, England, Argentina, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Uruguay.

Man, it's going to be a very competitive tournament!

[Sebas.tian]

This world cup will be tough and different , the team that can win the cup maybe a team that no one will expect a win from now. I'm not sure if Argentina can win the Cup this time around,  their other tough teams who are very prepared to see they take cup .

I don't think, Argentina will miss this world cup title because their players always take this world cup competition serious than any other competition. Based on their passed performance showed that no team can defeat Argentina because their defense and midfield is very strong, which will be difficult for any team to achieve  goal. Many teams are also preparing for this world cup but it will be difficult for them to achieve  the title, because Argentina know how to achieve victory from all those teams in world cup competition.
