FIFA 2022 world cup

[poldanmig]

I think Germany deserves to be superior at this time because their squad is more qualified and experienced, but for some reason I think if Spain this year might surprise us, even though they are no longer strengthened by the previous great players like in the cup world 2010, but the young squad owned by spain at the moment is of course quite potential and Is not that they able to reach the semifinals of euro 2020 by simply on the young squad?

Both teams are really good. This is the biggest advantage of more experienced Germany. However, when they face a big team like Spain, these matches become equal for both teams. Spain can play with all its might against Germany and beat the Germans. They have individually talented players and they play well as a team. Germany, on the other hand, gives an example of a disciplined team. Tournaments are where the Germans are most successful.

I believe that any team has a chance to take it home when we talk about the superstars. Germany has a fighting spirit. Argentina has the technique. But when you look at France I think they are on another level. They are the favorite for me especially with Mbappe. He has shown that he can decide a game and I think he will prove that again!

Both countries will definitely prove their prowess since the group stage later, I think both of them will be able to easily qualify for the next round because the other team probably won't be able to make it difficult for them later, the competition between the two will still be tight for the first place in the group so they can get easier opponents, frankly for this year, I personally see spain have more potential because the quality of players is evenly distributed, while germany maybe their golden era is now almost over because of their many core players has old and of course it will affect their performance.

[nullama]

This guy is very overrated while his attitude is very bad, he seems to be mad when Messi didn't pass to him and he's thinking if he's the only striker on PSG. Mbappe is a selfish person, one player can't beat the whole 11 complete players, so I don't think Mbappe will give a good contribution. I hope his career will gloomy and it will force him to focus to get international trophy rather than just for money.

Germany, Brazil and Costa Rica could be a champion in this year world cup, who knows right?

Not so sure about Costa Rica though 

I mean, maybe they get lucky in one match, maybe two. But winning the world cup requires luck and also being a strong team. You can't just win the tournament based on luck alone.

Brazil is one of the strongest teams right now, but there are quite a few other great ones as well.

[Boristhecat]

I have never doubted the talent that mbappe has either at the club or in his international career. he is a young star who has had a brilliant career. however, he has an attitude that we could call selfish.
This problem is often a dispute between the players both at the club and for the French squad. that's why i wouldn't say that france is on another level, in some games they are playing badly, their form is not so good. but I believe Didier Descamps has a way to make the French squad even more solid.

speaking of germany, so far germany has always been a favorite squad in every four-year soccer sporting event. this time they have a very tough job as some other countries are more favourites.
on the other hand, argentina is more ready to face the qatar world cup tournament, they are one of the strongest candidates in this tournament.

With Benzema back in the national team, I think he will be able to put Mbappe in his place and motivate him to play for the team and not just for himself. Benzema is a big authority and everyone has seen on social media that he is tough with Mbappe without hypocrisy or unnecessary softness. If Mbappe is even a little smart, he will be able to subdue his pride and play less selfishly than, for example, in the last game against Monaco, where he seemed to have not made a single pass in attack.

Benzema is more mature and I am sure that he will handle the situation. But disappointing from the part of Mbappe. Despite all the controvery in Euro Cup, he still hasn't learnt his lesson. At this point he can afford to do that because there is no chance that the coach will get angry and kick him out of the team. But in the long term he needs to change his attitude. If he is not passing the ball to others, then the other players may also do the same to him. In the end it will negatively impact the chances of the team.

You're missing Brazil in that analysis, I think it's probably going to be the winner of this world cup.

It's the team that has won the cup more times than any other team in history, Germany is close to that record though.

It will definitely be entertaining, that's for sure

no, i don't involve brazil in that context.
Of course Brazil did not escape our attention, they are the favorite squad than the squad I mentioned before. Brazil's squad statistics are impressive, they have talented young players, that's why they are the most favorite squad candidates. however, nevertheless I still favor Argentina in this world cup, even though I know statistically Brazil is better than Argentina. but as I have said many times, in football anything can happen.

Here France is surely a strong contender for this event, and they have a wealthy team which can do much better without Mbappé, so here they need to give him a lesson because his inclusion is not positive for rest of the team.
With this all if Didier Descamps dropped him from team for World Cup then surely he can take his lessons for future and this could be beneficial for France in this event and future as well because right now he is young and have attitude which is not helping his team for better results.

Most of the time he doesn't like passing which is surely not good in team event as after this other players also do the same which hurt overall team performance in this all case right now they have time for taking good decision for their team.

France is a very good contender for the World Cup again in my opinion. But till now what I have been hearing is that Argentina has improved a lot. At least they have improved significantly since the last time they have taken part in any international tournament. But even though I said that France is still a good contender, they did not perform well in the UEFA nations league. Actually, people don’t even care about the UEFA Nations league but that’s another story.

Argentina suddenly seems to have shot up again. What are those odds based on? It doesn't surprise me that Brazil and France are the favourites, but I think England is slightly overrated. okay, they made it to the final of the European championship and almost became european champions. Brazil was of course not one of them and moreover they were allowed to play all matches at home because the European Championship was organized in England. They have great football players but as a team I find it disappointing and they have an inexperienced and mediocre coach. You won't make it with that. I think Argentina, for example, is already better than England.

Yeah, I agree with you here. England is alright but I don't think they will end up winning the world cup. Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, from the top of my head, are better than England in my view.

England is overhyped and we saw this during the Euro Cup. They have a few overrated (and arrogant) players who never live up to the expectations. BBC and the other British media give an impression that they are the best in the world, but the reality is entirely different. At this point, I believe that Argentina and Brazil are ahead of the rest by a big margin. And among the European teams, in my opinion Spain ranks higher than others such as England, France, Netherlands and Germany.

You can see the odds for the winner of FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar here: http://sportstatist.com/who-will-win-fifa-world-cup-winner-betting-odds/

Pretty low odds on some teams. Portugal just x13, Netherland x15? Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, and Iran x501.00, I think x 1 million would be fair here! If someone decides to put at least a dollar on these teams should win a fortune from that!

Well, I will bet a dollar on my country (Serbia), it's x101, and that's also low, knowing who leads the team... That will be my support for the national team!

Maybe I'm misreading the post, but doesn't it mean that you'll make a hundred bucks only? I don't think you can call that a fortune, still nice though...

I think England today is quite different from the era of Steven Gerrard and Lampard, the golden era of England has begun to fade with the retirement of these legendary players, but I don't think England should be underestimated because now the English game is starting to get better and improve over time, although the England national team in recent years has not won the trophy, but by relying on many young players, England actually advanced to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of the 2020 European Cup, so I think the current England squad is very capable so that it will be able to provide competition to other countries who are considered more favorites to win the 2022 world cup.

[Fritwakky]

On paper, Germany and Spain can be said to be the seeded teams in Group E. However, anything can happen in football.  Likewise, Japan and Costa Rica are ready to block the journey of Germany and Spain in the group stage of this World Cup.
Hansi Flick's squad is filled with experienced players and young players such as Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Manuel Neur, they have a fairly even squad depth in all lines.

On the other hand, Luis Enrique's squad is filled with experienced players and quality young players with an average age of 25 years, one of which is Ansu Fati who is a very talented young player.  In the last meeting between Spain and Germany, the German squad was defeated by a score of 6-0 in the UEFA Nations League match.
despite all that, after all Germany and Spain are tough opponents in the world cup this time, however, another squad is more favored to be a candidate for the 2022 world cup champion.

In my view I think Germany vs Spain will be like the preview of the world cup final.

Whoever ends up winning that match will

I believe that any team has a chance to take it home when we talk about the superstars. Germany has a fighting spirit. Argentina has the technique. But when you look at France I think they are on another level. They are the favorite for me especially with Mbappe. He has shown that he can decide a game and I think he will prove that again!

I hope his career will gloomy and it will force him to focus to get international trophy rather than just for money.

Germany, Brazil and Costa Rica could be a champion in this year world cup, who knows right?

more likely end up winning the entire thing.

Funnily enough I think it might be possible for those two to meet again in their way to the cup.

Why not Argentina? I think Argentina can do better this time. Because so far they are in a pretty good position. The youngsters in the team are in good form. According to everyone, this is Messi's last World Cup. So everyone in the team will try to do something good for Messi. Apart from this, the team has good players like Messi, De Maria, Martinez. So I think Argentina has a chance to play in the final in this year World Cup.

I agree.
England is currently in the process of renewing young players, and some of these young players occupy important positions in their respective clubs. interesting for us to watch the development of England in the world cup stage this time. although almost the entire England squad is filled with young players.
however, it is possible they are able to stop the big squads who are more superior in this world cup.
armed with the experience of several tournaments they have gone through despite failing, but I am sure the English players have had quite a good experience and made it their capital to compete in the race for the world cup trophy in Qatar.

This time, England is the squad that really caught our attention although we realized that England's potential to win the world title was very small.

After many years we are having some positive news about England in World Cup even they lost on many occasions when they were at their peak and have too many quality players which is wired for many even new generation is also having some wired feelings about England having world's best soccer system, but they have never been quality team, so hopefully we will have good results from these youngsters, and they try to change things for positive way and having better results than expectations.

Currently, most of English fans are sure this team is capable of reaching into last four with quality and skilled players even some doubts, but we have to wait for the start of event about this all that can change the history like their women's done few months back in Euro, or we are again going down and out without any serious progress.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The chances of the top six winning the World Cup look like this:

Brazil        5.55
England    6.60
France      7.05
Argentina  8.10
Spain        9.10
Germany   11.10

If there was complete certainty that one of these teams would win gold, then one could bet on all of them and get a guaranteed profit of almost 21%. But I do not think that anyone can give such guarantees. Even if we imagine that all these teams have reached the 1/4 finals (and they can meet each other at earlier stages), it turns out that there will be 2 teams that, in order to become a champion, need to win only 3 games in underdog status. This is a fairly common situation in annihilation games.

Can you post the source of this list please?

In my opinion, England is not the second favorite to win

I would put:
1 - Brazil > France > Germany > Argentina > England > Spain
Only considering these six above, but I think I prefer to put Netherlands instead of Spain in sixth place

Obviously it's not 100% guaranteed to any os these 6 squads to win, but I don't see any other teams winning this cup, maybe Netherlands and Belgium. Portugal and Uruguai are strong but not at the point to win the cup.

Well, the truth is that it does not surprise me that Brazil is in the first places, now it surprises me that England has the second place, when we have all witnessed that England has been harshly criticized by almost everyone in the world of football, in their friendly matches , the matches were not the best, ´but I believe in something, that you cannot play a team for friendly matches, I think that it is only a guide of what a technical director is trying at a given moment, to see what cards You can use it to your advantage, this is something that not everyone understands and that's why I like the 2nd place selection to England.

Well, the England team has always been one of the toughest in the entire FIFA World Cup tournament, for now I think they have a good strategy, because in friendlies they haven't shown their full power, but I've always known that Kane is a very good player, and around him there are players who are very good and who can make a difference with respect to the other teams, they all favor Germany, Brazil, Argentina, even Portugal, but we must not forget what that the English are capable, another team that I have also seen that is quite famous and that the Netherlands can play a good role, for me they are the ones that most deserve a world cup.

As said surprises too can happen. In the previous World Cup Mexico gave a surprise win against Germany. By that time Germany was the defending champions. So, we can't make any kind of early predictions. This time I expect some small teams to make surprise that can make the league matches more interesting.

So-so, Mexico even has a reasonable and competitive team. But what surprised me a lot was the defeat of Germany against South Korea and also Croatia reaching the finals in the 2018 World Cup.

I imagine, in almost every Cup there are some surprises, let's see what this year's World Cup will show us.

The biggest surprise in my opinion was probably the defeat of Italy by North Korea during the 1966 world cup. And back in 1990, Cameroon managed to defeat Argentina. IMO, these were bigger upsets when compared to the defeat of Germany against South Korea. But these sort of upsets happen only once in one or two decades. So I am not sure whether we will get one this time. The chances will be higher for next edition (2026), since the number of participants have been increased to 48 from the current 32.

Well we already started with the surprise of not having Italy in this world cup.

I hope the Netherlands actually managed to win this world cup, it would be an epic thing to achieve for them, because they are always so close to winning it
