FIFA 2022 world cup

[YOSHIE]

Also, the world cup has not started yet, there is little that could be discussed at this time if not for the pressing issues that are being envisaged.

What are you, talking about, everyone is busy discussing and making predictions about the 2022/23 FIFA world cup tournament, which will take place soon in Qatar, discussions, predictions, teams, countries, players, clubs, and so on, not when the world cup starts, many things can be discussed before the world cup takes place.

If you don't discuss now and predict which clubs in the world cup are performing and good odds including players, you will find it difficult to determine the best clubs and best players during the tournament, time is very short in terms of tournaments, times like this the discussion works well, if the tournament is already in progress you don't need to discuss much more, just watch the clubs get eliminated and advance to the next round until the final, you just have to watch it.

The new format can provide an opportunity for teams from Africa and Asia who previously had difficulty penetrating to the World Cup could feel the atmosphere in the most prestigious competition in the world. The World Cup event is also a stage for players to show its quality, many players will be orbited if the new format of 48 participants has been used. The big teams will remain in their ranks, they must also be careful with the newcomer team because it could be an unwanted surprise or event with a rough play style that can give a threat of injury to star players.

Do they need the star players for all of their matches? For example, if Brazil is playing against a team such as Gabon or New Zealand, do they need to include Neymar in the team? I am more worried about the scheduling. If they are planning for a total of 16 groups (3 teams each), then each of the teams will get only two matches in the first phase. And if somehow an upset happen, then some of the top teams will fail to reach the knockout phase. Let's take an example. Germany is placed alongside North Korea and Ecuador. Ecuador manages to score an upset win against Germany. All they need to do is to win the next match against North Korea and then Germany will be kicked out of the world cup.

And you need to remember something very important. This is going to be the last world cup in current format. From the next world cup onwards, there will be a total of 48 participants, with increased representation from Africa and Asia. There is going to be much more diversity and we can expect to see countries such as New Zealand taking part in the tournament. So this is going to be the last edition, where the UEFA teams are dominating. We still don't know anything about the tournament structure in 2026, but length of the tournament is a concern.

In the 2026 world cup later, there are three countries that will host. US, Mexico and Canada. and this is the first time the world cup has been hosted by three countries. however, with the increase in the number of participants, I don't know whether to welcome this as good news or a setback.

To be sure, the AFC gets 8 automatic tickets to the finals and 1 ticket is up for grabs via Play-Of. it seems, the world cup will be more boring with many weaker teams than the strongest teams.

There are some great matches today to study the teams



I'm anxious to see how Brazil is going to play this match, there are some new players today, and this could be an gold opportunity for them

I didn't find any good bet here to risk, these kind of friendly match just before the cup are strange, lots of changes to the teams, some tests etc, but Brazil and Argentina will probably win these matches with 2 or more goals.
Ghana will be at the group od Uruguay and Portugal, it's a good match for them to measure how the team will play against a strong team.

Surely right now this is the biggest concern how they are going to manage this event with 48 teams because its never been easy for FIFA and hosting countries with what format is going to be helpful this is second-biggest concern because if you have 48 teams then you need long time for this, or you have to do something draw which will held as 48 matches will be held in two rounds and each team going to face opponent two time with just 24 will be allowed for next round, and then we will have 8 teams from these into next round which could be decided who is going into last 4 and then 2 and winner even it's unusual but still we have 4 years and many new systems and strategies could be coming in these years hopefully they will be able to manage this all fairly, and we will have good entertainment from this event which is world's biggest sporting event of current time and going to be bigger next time in three countries.

Brazil easily won the match already in the first half and left Ghana no chance. 3 goals from Brazil in the first half was enough and their team look sick and to me they are one of the favorites to win the world cup. Richarlison also scored two goals for Brazil even tho i think there are better option for the striker position in Brazil.

Sometimes I am happy to know that many people are optimistic with Brazil's performance.
I confess that I'm also looking forward, but I don't know how Brazil's performance will be in this World Cup.

Unfortunately ""friendly games"" is one type of match, and World Cup games are totally different!

Let's see how Brazil will behave in this World Cup!

If the Ghanian team that played today is the team to feature in the world cup, then certainly Ghana will not go past the group stages Ghana just had a dose of what they stand to face in the world cup and have to be better prepared for the world cup that will be packed with excitement from teams in form. I don't think Partey is someone Ghana can depend on for the world cup especially because of his constant injury challenges and concerns.

Brazil on the other hand have very strong team, but shouldn't become too over confident is all i can say.

Brazil will face Cameroon in World Cup that's why they picked matches vs African teams which are supposed to be close from the Ghanaian one. The result is clear here and I assume the same thing will happen when they face Tunisia in Tuesday..
Ghana isn't a rival for Brazil obviously but that doesn't mean it won't do anything in its group. Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea are good teams but less likely to stand in front of Brazil too.

The comparison is quite far between them because the gap between each player and the scheme that is run is very visible.
90 Minutes of play Ghana were just busy with their defense and there was only 1 shot on target for them.
Richarlison performed quite well as a center forward in this match.
With the support of Raphinha and Vini, it was clear that he was comfortable there and as a result, he got the Brace.

Brazil always have a full of talent , in every world cup edition they are the favorite ... but of course the squad strength is not the only parameter to decide which one gonna lift the world cup trophy, more than that ... you need a strong mentality as you might feel nervous as this competition is the most prestigious one among any competition.

Everyone really wanted to lift this trophy for once in lifetime at least.

Marco Reus is deeply concerned about the injury he picked up at the Revierderby last week as the forward picked up an ankle injury. The Dortmund player was seen crying as he left the pitch, Reus was very worried about not being able to feature at the Qatar World Cup with Germany.

Reus has experience missing Germany's successful World Cup campaign in 2014 with another ankle injury, but Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl is optimistic that he will be fit for the tournament in Qatar.

Marco Reus is really unlucky. World Cup is starting soon & he caught a serious injury. Again, before the main international torunament. Marco Reus is one of the most unlucky footballers of all time. An absolute World Class player with a terrible injury record.
❌ 2012: Injured in the last warm-up match, missed the EUROs
❌ 2014: Injured, missed the World Cup
❌ 2016: Injured in the last warm-up match, missed the EUROs
✅ 2018: Present
❌ 2021: Missed the EUROs
❓ 2022: Injured 2 months before the World Cup

His resilience against injuries has always been one of Marco Reus' biggest weaknesses. Now some might say the he is just unlucky and that is certainly true to a degree, but he has been very prone to injuries all the time as well. It is not like it's coincidence only all the time that the same players get injured over and over again. Even though they now said that this injury is not going to threaten his participation in the World Cup, the fact of the matter still is that he is getting out of the weekly routine for now and needs to regain trust in his joint. That is also an important factor when you want to reach your highest possible level in normal games but especially for an important tournament like the World Cup. As a coach you usually want your players to be at 110% and I am not sure Reus can achieve that once he is able to start another of those countless comebacks during his career.

Anyway the game against Hungary was shockingly bad. Germany recently claimed to be a favorite for the title as well, but that didn't really seem to be the case against Hungary.

This time Brazil remains as the favorites and the difference is that their competitors have gone down since the 2018 edition. UEFA teams such as France, Germany and England are not in exceptional form. Only team that can pose a challenge to Brazil right now is Argentina. And I would love to have the final match between Brazil and Argentina for this world cup (don't know whether it is possible or not, given the complicated playoff scenarios). At this point, the gap between Brazil and the other teams seems to be too large.

If there are additions from Africa and Asia this shows that there will be more participants from the world cup and of course it will be longer, Usually at every World Cup there will be singers who are ready to compose songs like what happened a few years ago, so I I'm sure this will be more exciting because as the year progresses, there must be something interesting and make this prestigious soccer party very lively.

There is no doubt more teams more excitement and more entertainment but here they need to do something about quality as well because right now Asia and Africa are much behind in quality from UEFA and CONMEBOL which can create the biggest gape but with current development and better facilities Africa is improving and most chances they could be more improved in coming weeks which it could be better for the sack of this game but in Asia we have no authentic structure and system in many countries which is surely a big concern.

48 teams is surely a big number and hosting event for 48 countries is not easy for many countries even we have Olympics which is having bigger number, but this is surely a different thing which needs more exposure and better facilities for all teams on different places, hopefully this all will be also discussed in coming years.

Actually, Ghana also has a very good squad, but with a top team like Brazil, they obviously had no chance.  They managed to win the game with 3 goals scored in the first half, this was an entry level challenge match for Brazil.  I would like to watch Brazil play friendly matches with stronger teams.  Maybe with Argentina.  That's when better comments can be made and more accurate thoughts about the team can be reached.

Brazil in many years is always a World Cup top contender and this year is no difference. I also love Argentina to reach the finals and then win it all the way because I really want Lionel Messi to win one and raise the trophy before retiring. But if I am realistic, I still think France and England have better chances than Argentina.

But if we take a look in the groupings, Argentina and Brazil cannot face each other in the finals. If they continue to win, they will face each in the semi-finals. England and France are in the worst situation because both countries will face each other right after the grouping stage. These will bound to happen provided they will become the top in their grouping stage though expected.

I agreed with you this statement every team wants to win trophy even they have nothing in their pocket but winning trophy is surely a dream for every team and every fan of these teams because it's nature of the human.

Brazil is surely one of the most talented players around the world, and we can check just in UEFA more than 100 players are involved in these clubs which are giving their best and having amazing skills and quality which is surely their trademark for having great response in the mega event like World Cup with only few teams which never miss any event in soccer world cup history and after two decades of European dominance both Brazil and Argentina are looking for the trophy and have enough quality for giving them tough challenge let's watch what happen in Qatar where all stage is set for this event, and we are desperately waiting for the start of this event.

The friendly match between Brazil vs Ghana are two very different forces. I think in that match, Brazil will not be too serious, just do some experimentation with the rotation of its players. it seemed, Tite was just making sure that his troops matched the strategy and some of the rotations he used.
As a result, Brazil conquered Ghana with a landslide score. If you look at the statistics of Brazil's matches, it seems that Brazil will not have serious problems with the strength they have when they compete in the Qatar World Cup.
brazil has a very complete player, i think brazil is the strongest candidate than any other squad in this year's world cup.

After seeing the latest Nations League games I can conclude that the main favorites this time won't be from Europe,European bigger teams are being in not a good condition and the one who probably is somewhat better which is Italy didn't make it to this tournament for this time.I think this will be disputed between Brazil and Argentina and I also predict a final between them.There are no other teams except the big European ones who can defeat Brazil or Argentina but seeing these European teams in a lot of difficulties it is only natural now that the World Cup trophy is not going in Europe this time.

I think it is too early for such conclusions.
There is still a lot of time until the World Cup and the League of Nations is not such an important competition for most teams.
These were actually the last warm-up games before the World Cup, because later there will be no free time for warm-up games.
For all national teams, the World Cup is the peak of the season and everyone is preparing for that competition, while the League of Nations is a less important competition.
I am sure that we will see the true strength of the European teams at the World Cup.
