FIFA 2022 world cup

[rahmad2nd]

Senegal vs. Netherlands on November 21 is catching my attention because they actually play well and because they are the best representation for Africa during this World Cup, I have faith in them to win. Everyone is anxious to know who the winner of the fifa World Cup will be after so many disqualifications and with group A opening the floor and the games starting on November 20th, which is on Sunday. Till then let’s see the out come of the matches when it starts.

To be honest, I would like to see how the Netherlands will play against Senegal.

I want to see how far they go, they come with players who don't really have a lot of star names. however, based on the results of statistical records owned by the Netherlands. this match should be theirs, but that doesn't mean Senegal is an easy opponent to beat. after all, they have the names of quite well-known players who have played in various european league competitions, besides Sadio Mane who became the icon of their squad.

however, in terms of probability, the Netherlands is more favored in this match even though Senegal is the best representative of the Arfika nation. it seems, this match will feature a fierce game from these two competing teams. not the right time if I have to predict now, I have to see first the starting line-up of these two teams later.

just counting the days this world cup show will be held.

Senegal does have many good players like Sadio Mané, Bamba Dieng, Ismaïla Sarr will make the Netherlands have to fight hard against Senegal, but in the history of these two countries have never met before at international level, but in my opinion, the Netherlands will win this match, because the Netherlands also have very good players like Memphis Depay, Luuk de Jong, Steven Bergwijn and others. So for that, let's see together who will dominate the field and win this match.

[Strongkored]

I am just curious about the pool, why are only 5 clubs in Europe (Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain, and England) will play in the final? is impossible for a club from South America to make all finals? Maybe that looks impossible when we calculate the power from each country like Brazil, Argentine, Uruguay, or Mexico which is not convincing to maybe for the next round semifinal of final, but sometimes the country which doesn't count will make the surprise at the end of the match.

Looks like Op only wants to take into account the big teams that have won the world cup and include Portugal because of Ronaldo's factor, should include 2 countries from America Brazil and Argentina they have a chance for that, not even France in the poll is in the list of countries that have a chance for the champion is actually above the countries in the poll.

And we should also remember that UEFA teams have historically performed poorly when the tournament was held outside the European continent.

Agree that the team from America, namely Brazil, has a better record when events are held outside Europe and America and even won once in Europe while European teams have never won in America, but don't forget Spain who won in South Africa in 2010, where only Uruguay entered the semifinals but lost to the Netherlands

@Rockbell Senegal has a good chance to win this game, because their player’s showed that they have a strong mentality when it comes to big matches hence an upset is on the menu against Netherlands. Furthermore De Jong, Memphis have barely played this season, hence they’ll most likely be on the bench and even if they start I don’t expect them to have an impact because they’ll be rusty due to their lack of game time.

Well, this is a match that is quite worth the wait. We know Senegal is one of the best clubs to represent Africa now especially they are currently AFCON champions which of course is something bigger than expectations. On the other hand the Netherlands is also currently in a good trend, the current players apart from young players they are also quite qualified and of course they are now back into one of the seeds. But in this case I will probably be on the Dutch side because from the qualifications they are very good.

World famous 2 stars Leon Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will play last in Qatar 2022. The World Cup in Qatar is going to be the last major tournament in the country's jersey for both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best footballers in the world. Because Messi is 34 and Ronaldo is 37. And so it is impossible for them to play in another World Cup.

Players like Memphis Depay are among the best in the world right now. But recent performances from the Dutch team has been disappointing for their fans. Their performance was OK in the UEFA Nations League A, but before that they were having a tough time in the World Cup qualifiers. In the end they managed to edge out Turkey by 2 points in the end. During the very first match, Turkey managed to defeat them by a margin of 2-4. Anyway, during the last couple of months, their performance seems to have improved.

Did Messi announced this? Because I don't think that a player like Messi will be too old at the age of 38 for the next World Cup. It's to be expected that Ronaldo will retire before the next World Cup but, I'm not so sure about Messi.

More precisely, Messi is 35 years old. for Messi I think it's just a possibility. but considering now he is actually 35 years old. then the possibility indeed the world cup now is the last for him. as well as Cristiano Ronaldo I think it will be the last world cup for him.
actually there are several other star players who are also expected in this world cup is the last world cup for them. like Thiago Silva (Brazil) who is now 37 years old. next there is Luka Modric (Croatia) who is also 37 years old. Karim Benzema is also likely to play in the world cup for the last time. because his age in december now is 35 years.

Some news sites claimed he has:

Lionel Messi says 2022 World Cup will be his last
"There's some anxiety and nerves at the same time. It is the last one," he told Star Plus.

Argentines are getting crazy to see Messi win this world cup:

Argentines forsake buying homes to see Messi play in World Cup

We'll have to see what happens, but it looks like yes, it is the last one for Messi.

Messi said some weeks ago that this will probably be his last world cup, he did not say that it is exactly going to be his last, but that it probably will, and i think this will be his last. Messi is one of the greatest players of all time, but he does not look like a player that will play football at the top level till he is 38 years old, players like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovich can do it, but i am not too sure about Lionel Messi, even if he will still be playing at the age of 38, it will be in a lower league and he would surely have retired from the Argentine national team, so this should probably be his last world cup.

Senegal is a good team. They have a few star players such as Sadio Mané, Ismaïla Sarr, Cheikhou Kouyaté and Kalidou Koulibaly. And they are in top form, as seen from the CAF qualifiers. On the other hand, Netherlands are not in great form recently. They have suffered a few upset defeats. And during the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League A, they struggled against team such as Wales (although managing to tip their group). But is this enough for Senegal to pull off an upset? Netherlands are one of the favorites to win the world cup.

As you can see in the FIFA ranking posted below, Senegal has a very good standing right now, also because of winning the African Cup of course. I am not entirely sure how the ranking works and I found some sources stating it is inaccurate for several reasons. Hence I tried to find out when they played against teams from that ranking that are not from Africa and that was the World Cup 2018:

Poland vs. Senegal ended 1:2
Japan vs. Senegal ended 2:2
Senegal vs. Columbia ended 0:1


I'd say that these results do lend some credibility to the ranking as you can see. Columbia hasn't lost games against Brazil or Argentina by more than one goal difference in quite a while. I think Senegal will have its moments at this World Cup and they might be a harder challenge to the Netherlands than many would expect.

The Qatar World Cup 2022 draw has already been completed. Among the eight groups of 32 teams, fans began searching for the group of death. However, according to football fans, Group 'H' and Group 'E' can be put in the group of death.
Group E features 2010 World Cup champions Spain, four-time World Cup winners Germany, Asian powerhouses Japan, Costa Rica and New Zealand. Group 'H' includes Ronaldo's Portugal, two-time World Cup champions Uruguay, South Korea and African country Ghana. Compared to the other groups 'E' and H can earn the title of group of death.
But don't forget about other groups. They will get home advantage as the World Cup is held in Qatar. In Group 'A' they are joined by Netherlands, Senegal and Ecuador. Meanwhile, group 'B' can be said to be the easiest group in comparison. Because this group includes England with USA, Iran, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine.

I don't know how it's like in other countries but in Croatia our national television usually makes a documentary familiarizing viewers with the country that is hosting the World Cup. This year was no difference but unfortunately I didn't have time to watch it. But in the past those documentaries were pretty good and one could learn a lot about the country.

When it comes to betting then I also have the same thoughts as you. I also prefer to bet on Brazil. but I have a different choice when it comes to which team I support. because I come from Asia. so of course I support teams from Asian countries. such as Japan and South Korea. but even though I support Japan and Korea but I can't bet on them. because the most realistic country to place a bet right now is Brazil.

Nice to see an Asian user 
Japan is improving every world cup, it's good to watch their evolution, since Zico helped the development of soccer, Japan is now a team to respect and I'm always curious and I always support Japan.
Unfortunately Japan is at a hard group to classify, with Spain, Germany and Costa Rica. (but remember guys, there's always a "death group" on world cup where big teams lose classsification and a "small" team classifies, surprising everyone)

About South Korean, another hard group, not as tough as Japan's group, but Portugal, Ghana and Uruguay are hard to beat.
I remember the 2002 edition when Korea got the 4th place 
Another important victory was against Germany in 2018.

It's probably their last world cup, but never doubt about these guys 
Take a look at Daniel Alves from Brazil, he will play, 39 years old, with lots of great players in his position, but this guy is working hard and will play another cup, it's the 3rd participation.

Not only will Ronaldo and Messi quit football, other football big stars will do the same, for young players to take over. Football lovers gonna miss them though. I don't know how long it will take for the football record made by Ronaldo and Messi will be broken by another player cos they both made a remarkable history in football.

[Franctoshi]

I don't know how long it will take for the football record made by Ronaldo and Messi will be broken by another player cos they both made a remarkable history in football.

This is exactly what I used to think sometimes when I begin to look back at the records set by Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Actually, any player that will be able to break the duo records, both for consistency in one decade, goal scoring, dribbling, free kicks and many other areas of play, will be something else to watch at that time.

As you can see, there's a lot of attackers, I'm pretty confident Brazil will finally play at the best level as everyone expects, not focused on defense, but with strong attack.

I think I'm more confident now to bet on Brazil

I was going to comment on the official lineup that was defined for the Brazilian team, but you were faster than me @rdluffy lol

@Daniel91, when you and I were talking about some possible players that will not go to the Cup, the official list just came out.
And it's true, Lucas Paqueta and Richarlison will defend Brazil in this World Cup.
I just don't know if they will be 100% recovered from the injuries they sustained.

For now, Lucas Paqueta and Richarlison are only on the extended list of football players for the World Cup, and whether they will actually perform depends on their health condition or recovery from their injuries.
From what I have read on sports portals, it seems that Richarlison's injury is more serious and his chances of playing in the World Cup are much less.
Likewise, it is still possible that until the start of the World Cup, another player will be injured, in training or playing friendly or preparatory matches for the World Cup. You never know what can happen.

I always thought Croatia and some of the countries of the former Yugoslavia were good at football. Especially recently Croatia played in the World Cup final against France, which is already a very cool result. By the way, Luka Modric will also play his last championship for the national team. He too can be considered a legend, on a par with Ronaldo and Messi.
