FIFA 2022 world cup

i'm just comparing them to Brazil, Brazil are playing friendlies but they still manage to win effortlessly, are they the only ones playing seriously in friendlies and just European teams are not ?? no, Brazil are winning almost every match they play including friendlies unlike European teams, that's all i'm saying, and with that i can say that they are better.

Yeah, Brazil and Argentina. They both qualified to the world cup without losing a single match. It's incredible really.

Funny thing is that they both never really played against each other, both matches ended up not being played, so maybe the first time they meet each other would be at the final.

Very interesting prediction even though the World Cup hasn't started yet. Brazil is being talked about a lot now because they are believed to be better than any other country participating in this year's World Cup. I want to say that in this World Cup the strength of each country will not be easy to predict, they will definitely save some strength for them to show in the real competition that will soon be held. I am more interested in the team that will be the dark horses now, because they are the part that always attracts attention.

what or which European teams ?? weren't you watching how bad most of their best teams performed in the the nations league ?? a lot of them lost with humiliating results, on the other hand Brazil been winning almost every match, even friendlies with convincing wins as well, they weren't against big teams but European teams lost against some weak nations, i think it's easy to say that Brazil are better.

There is no doubt that at this point, Brazil is the strong favorite to win the world cup in Qatar. Almost all the European teams are in bad shape. England got relegated to League B of UEFA nations league after finishing at the last place in their group. Germany was in the same group, and they did slightly better by finishing at the 3rd place below Italy and Hungary. Belgium is another team that failed to perform, as they finished beneath Netherlands in Group 4. France avoided relegation, but they had just 5 points from 6 matches in Group 1.

I think you give too much importance to the league of nations and the results of some teams in that competition.
The main focus of all European national teams this year is the world cup, and all other matches are just preparation for that main and most important competition.

i'm just comparing them to Brazil, Brazil are playing friendlies but they still manage to win effortlessly, are they the only ones playing seriously in friendlies and just European teams are not ?? no, Brazil are winning almost every match they play including friendlies unlike European teams, that's all i'm saying, and with that i can say that they are better.

Ok, I agree with you, the Brazilian team is better in friendlies this year than most European teams, but do you really think that means anything?
Brazil is the main favorite for the title in every world championship, but they haven't been world champions for 20 years, they always lacked something even though they were fantastic in friendly matches.
I remember the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 when everyone expected that Brazil, as the host of the tournament, would use that great advantage and become world champions, but they experienced a disastrous defeat in the semi-finals against Germany.
Mental stability is often more important than other factors in football when equal teams play.
It seems that Brazilian football players play better and easier in friendly matches than in official matches when they are under much more pressure and stress.

I am eagerly waiting for such a scenario. It would be a dream match, if Argentina under Lionel Messi faces Brazil under Neymar in the finals of Qatar 2022. But first let us analyze whether such a scenario is possible. Let's assume that both these teams will top their respective groups in the first stage. Brazil is placed along Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G, while Argentina is in Group C alongside Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland. If they win all their remaining matches, then these two teams will face against each other in the first semi-finals on 13th December. On the other hand, if either team finishes as runners-up in their respective groups, then it is possible to have a final between these teams on 18th December.

That actually makes it even more interesting, as one of the teams has to probably lose one match to end up runner-up in their group. That would be an incredible final.

But more realistically, I can see that both teams will end up as first in their group. That semi-final will probably be an early final.

The probability of these two teams to be the runner up on the points table is very narrow. So, the chance of watching an early finals is high. Both teams are continuing with the wins, and this season of FIFA is going to be much interesting as the schedules have created probabilities for more matches that haven't happened in the past.

[STT]

Funny thing is that they both never really played against each other, both matches ended up not being played, so maybe the first time they meet each other would be at the final.

Shouldnt be possible when they both come from the same region to never have played each other with their squads ?  Some players surely know each other to some extent and how to counter the others move, people say it would be the best match but I wonder if it could be the worst and/or very random poorly arranged action.  It might even a high quality team cannot stop the other without proper experience to where the opponents best strengths are vs their own defences, it might be a very messy match and then add in the venue Im not sure Im encouraged to bet on matches for this world cup; I will decide at the time after watching a few games.

If these two teams end up on top of their respective groups, and then go on to win PQF and QF, then it is possible to have an encounter between these two teams in the semi-finals. But the sad thing is that only one of the teams will be there in the finals. The final will be between one of these two teams (Argentina and Brazil) and probably one team from the UEFA. But the excitement won't be there. As you said, if this happens, then the semi-finals may be more excited when compared to the finals.

[Sithara007]

We have seen Brazil and Argentina play in many matches since their two teams did not play on the same day, so it is expected that they will play together in the final match. But if Brazil and Argentina can play in the final, the game will be very intense.

As explained in my previous post, the chances are very low to have a final match between these two teams. We may have a semi-final, in case these two remains unbeaten until then. But this time, a clash between these two sides is going to be very close and eagerly fought. Argentina will be sending their strongest squad to the world cup since 1990, and Brazil under Neymar is in top form. On top of that, Brazil will be keen to extract revenge against their humiliating loss to Argentina during the final of 2021 Copa America.

Really? This is quite disappointing as I think many fans want to see a final between Brazil and Argentina, if we take a look at the history of the world cup finals we will see some of the most heated rivalries in the world of soccer, Uruguay-Brazil, Uruguay-Argentina, Brazil-Italy, Italy-Germany, Germany-England and Germany-Argentina, with that last one being the most common final in the history of the world cup, but there is one rivalry which we have not seen at the final of the world cup and that is Brazil-Argentina, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity for this to happen, and now it seems it may not be possible as I think both teams will be the leaders of their respective groups.

It seems that Brazil will not participate in the strongest team at the World Cup, if this news is confirmed:
https://news.yahoo.com/injured-brazil-forward-richarlison-faces-144828736.html

Richarlison is a very important player of the Brazilian national team, a striker and it will be a big handicap for the Brazilian team if he will not be able to play in the World Cup due to injury.
In that case, I give a slight advantage to Argentina, but there are several very good teams at this world championship and small details will decide the final winner.
I personally think that Argentina was stronger at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and closer to the title, but we will see.
A very uncertain world championship awaits us, and apart from Brazil and Argentina, France, Germany, Spain and Belgium are also favourites.

[fachant]

My bet is also between Brazil and Argentina.
I believe that Brazil has a better chance of winning the world cup, because even without a team of great stars (let's face it, Neymar is not doing so well), it's a young team that has actually played very well (undefeated). in all the qualifiers and friendlies in which he participated.
In any case, I see that France is also a team with a lot of potential to reach the final.... let's watch carefully.

@alegotardo Brazil has many important player’s like Casemiro, Anthony, Fred and currently they’re all playing for the same club which will further strengthen their bond heading in to the World Cup. Furthermore while Messi will want to win it and retire in style, but I personally feel that Argentina will just fall short and miss winning it and I’ll say it again that if Brazil fails to win then it’ll be really disappointing for millions of fan's who’re sincerely hoping that they win the World Cup.

Now we have less than five weeks and things are going to be more interesting and concerns are also growing more as many players are joining injured players list specially recently we have few big names from Argentina which is surely going to be big concern for them and their title hopes just because of this all right now predicting about any team is not easy because clubs are also doing their best for better results and just because of these injuries are happening and things are going in wrong way for many teams.

Currently, Brazil is having better time with their performance and quality which is surely giving them good advantage and if they are able to stay in this momentum then surely they are going to be at the top, and we will watch another big title for them which is surely possible in current situation which is clearly favoring them in Qatar.

The Brazilian team is well prepared. All the players in their team are playing in good clubs. They are well prepared for the World Cup. Also, players like Neymar are the captain of the Brazil team which will instill confidence in their team.

Maybe losing Richarlison to injury will have a bit of an impact on Brazil, whatever the reason. however, it seems that Brazil has many strikers who shine brighter than Rocharlison. and losing it won't have much of an impact, IMO.
there is still Gabriel Jesus, Firmino or Neymar who can be positioned as a center forward. even some other strikers who are less bright have the same position as Richarliason, such as Predro and Matheus Cunha.

whatever it is, Tite has another option to change the formation pattern with 3 strikers or 2 strikers up front.
to be sure, Brazil has sufficient resources.

Speaking Argentina, I have to agree with you.
in the 2014 cup, they have a top shining star player. there is Higuain, Aguero, Lavezzi and of course Messi.
but of course, in this world cup it's different, although some of the stars don't shine as much as in 2014. however, now they have an extraordinary cohesiveness and we can see it from the statistics of 35 matches without defeat.

[Bananington]

Brazil has sufficient resources.

The south American side is one of the countries of the world that is blessed with an abundance of talents in soccer, even if their already known striker will not be available, there will lots of other people and younger talents to select from.

Looking at the poll and seeing that the United States is not one of the teams that people expect to win the world cup means that we are really underrated. In the world cup, we are in the same group with Wales, England and Iran, and if we can play as a team, we can go past the group stages as the most challenging game looks most likely to be England. Even with the low chances we have at winning the world cup, I expect us to go past the group stages into the other round of the competition.

The FIFA World Cup will be presented in Qatar from 20th November 2022. This World Cup will be enjoyed by all and will be inaugurated with a dance by Nora Fatehi and her classmates. This year's World Cup in Qatar will be a huge success. But everyone is invited to FIFA 2022 for everyone to enjoy.

Do you think that Argentina is in any better condition compared to Brazil? Messi and Di Maria are also injured, although their injuries are not very serious. Dybala suffered a muscle injury a few days back and there is a good chance that he may miss the world cup. Brazil still has an advantage as long as Neymar is 100% fit. Richarlison is a very important player and crucial to Brazil's fortunes, but hopefully they can find someone like Vinícius Júnior or Matheus Cunha in the forward to fill that vacuum.

There is no denying that Brazil is a strong team. But the players of the Argentine team are very confident, they work hard during the game. With Messi now fully fit, Di Maria and Dybala will join the squad ahead of the World Cup matches, no worries. Besides, Argentina is probably 35 matches unbeaten so far.

I really can't wait to watch the World Cup. This year's World Cup in particular will be grand and historic. We all are confident about our favorite team, although I can't watch the game live in the stadium, but hopefully I won't miss a game virtually.

The Brazilian team has talented players who play very good football. As well as Brazilian team captain Neymar who is one of the best players in the world. But the World Cup games will be very competitive, for which Brazil will have to prepare harder.

[Z-tight]

This year's World Cup in Qatar will be a huge success.

Many people are not happy with the timing of the world cup, and the venue too, i am not happy either but we have to take it as it is, i am also sure many people would not be travelling to Qatar to watch the world cup live because of they do not like the fact that Qatar is the one hosting it, but football fans would still hope for a successful tournament, if you ask for my opinion i don't care much about this year's world cup and i just hope the world stars that would be going to the world cup do not get injured because club competition resumes immediately after the world cup.

Somewhere I read that although Argentina has won 35 matches on the trot, they never had an opponent from the UEFA. I don't know whether this is right. But they should not worry about the UEFA teams. None of the European teams are looking good at this point. Italy didn't even managed to qualify for the world cup, while England, Germany and France performed very poorly during the UEFA Nations League A. On top of that, I believe that the weather conditions in Qatar may favor the CONMEBOL teams more, when compared to the UEFA teams.

There is always a feeling of impatience when waiting for the World Cup to take place. Yes, that's because this is the highest event in world football that will bring together strong countries from each continent. Everyone will gather here and show who is the best among them. And also I look forward to players who will usually emerge as young talents who will be eyed by many big teams in prestigious leagues.
