FIFA 2022 world cup

[swogerino]

We can't ignore Harry Kane from England either for the chance to score the top goalscorer at this World Cup.

Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Benzema, Lewandowski, Eden Hazard we can name players who will be included in the line-up by the coach, but names like Christopher Nkunku (France), Lautaro Martinez (Argentina), Youssoufa Moukoko (Germany), Ansu Fati (Spain) should not be ignored in the list of potential top scorers if given the opportunity by their coach.

Harry Kane has found his rhythm again this season that 12 goals was belongs to him at premier league from 15 matches this indicated there is good opportunities to Kane will continue his achievement because he is England captain and always be playing regular and as top scores status on world cup 2018 he will counted as one of the players who scoring more goals for England for the current world cup and actually if we talking about England they are is not in the good shape because on Nation League this team has been relegated and from this tournament Southgate have to proven he can improved England performance moreover England at group B with Iran, United States and Wales which is on the paper England as the strong candidate qualified to the next round

Good stats in the Premier League albeit a little late. At the 2018 World Cup, Harry Kane recorded 6 goals from 6 matches. That's why I say that the Tottenham Hotspur striker should not be overlooked in the list of potential top scorers among great players from other national teams.
If 2018 Harry Kane can score 6 goals from 6 games, we can imagine that Kane who is now 29 years old will be able to score more than that amount in Qatar. Of course if England can go further in the WC tournament

I have none hopes for England in this World Cup. Did you have a look on their last official games before WC ? England is looking in bad shape for this tournament but they could reach quarters finals if they have a bit of luck. I'm saying from now that whoever will win the WC , will not be from Europe 100%. This is my bet for this WC and I also believe that France will have a very bad tournament as well just because whoever won WC in the last times , they didn't make it out of groups in the next one ...so I hope the curse is still there for the winner haha.

I think they will be able to pass the group and from there on let's see what happens.The fact that they did not do that well in the Nations League is not a big concern for me as many big teams do not give their 100% of their abilities in such a competition.

The motivation in an event such as the World Cup is surely higher for any team including England and I hope they go as far as possible.

Qatar puts a QR barcode in every hotel room for guests that came for world cup and to follow this big event, and when you scan this code using your mobile phone, a website will open for you that contains a book "Introducing Islam" in all languages of the world. This step confirms that there will be no legal alcoholic drink or any forbiden thing against islam in this Qatar world cup edition

Harry Kane will undoubtedly score, and he may even score four or five goals. However, I don't think the England team will get past the group stage. The coach is overflowing with emotion, and I don't think Southgate can take England anywhere in the Qatar World Cup. Some of their top players weren't included in the roster. They won't get past the group stage, in my opinion. France will also face some challenges because there are so many injured players. My favorite team for the world cup is still Portugal. Portugal and Argentina, in my opinion, will perform better than England and France throughout 2018 World Cup.

Any predictions guys on who'll be the top scorer in this World Cup? Ronaldo, Mbappe, Pedro, Lukaku, Depay, Messi? Who would you bet to be the top scorer in this upcoming World Cup? I'm rooting for Neymar or Ronaldo but the latter isn't that bad too.

It seems that the bookmakers consider Kane and Mbapee to be the favorites. I tend to agree with them. But I am very surprised that Lewandowski is not among the favorites. This is a very short tournament and to become the top scorer it is usually enough to score 5-6 goals and this is easy to do even in the group stage (especially if you have Saudi Arabia in the group).

[Slow death]

The World Cup in Qatar will kick off anytime soon and the teams and players are getting prepared and every player is planning to get their hands on the cup..

The two iconic football greats will be taking the stage of the World Cup for the last time and I think  that's the only trophy they as footballer have not gotten their hands on

Me personally I would love to see these legends perform once more in Qatar and it will a very exquisite end to their World Cup faith if their two had to battle it out in the final themselves

do you need to specify who you are talking about? Messi and Ronaldo? assuming you are talking about messi and ronaldo, portugal has little chance of reaching the final of the world cup, cristiando ronaldo has not played for manchester united which is causing him not to give 100% of himself on the field, since this new arrival coach cristiano ronaldo doesn't play and hasn't scored many goals, so i don't expect him to achieve anything big in this world cup, nor will he score many goals. while messi is playing for psg and has been able to score goals and he plays regularly, it's a very important game for psg and the argentina team has a lot of good players and is a candidate to win the world cup, so i hope messi does something big in this world cup

and I also think that they do not consider benzema is something very strange, for me benzema should be the favorite, he will score many more goals than mbappe in my opinion, of course it will depend on whether the coach will play benzema for the whole time without substitute for him, but if you try to play regularly then he will score a lot of goals, just for laughs:



Benzema arrived in this modest car for the internship that France is doing before the World Cup

[Jatiluhung]

Why is Italy in the poll above the forum thread? They didn't qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Three people voted for them.
Anyway, many people think that Argentina is a favorite for winning the World Cup, but the Argentinian team doesn't impress me.
Messi is far from his best years and Argentina doesn't have the great players from the previous years like Aguero or Tevez.
I expect the unexpected in this World Cup. Perhaps some outsider team would reach the final and win the trophy.
I support the Netherlands or Denmark. England has the potential to reach the semi-finals at least.

every World Cup held. predictions are always hotly discussed. each has its own predictions. But unfortunately my predictions are always wrong about the favorite team to win the title. so for me every time the world cup is held, then every time the results are always surprising or unexpected. Even in 2018 I really never imagined that Croatia and France would make it to the final. And it looks like I will also be expecting another unexpected surprise at the Fifa World Cup 2022.

[Marykeller]

We are excited to see the Messi vs Ronaldo final. But the chances of this happening are very low. While Argentina's squad is the favorite to be a finalist, Portugal's squad is not very strong. They have several weaknesses. Also Ronaldo is not in good form now. If Ronaldo does not return to form, it will be difficult for Portugal to qualify for the second round.

Ronaldo and Messi gonna perform their best as individuals playing for their country. This is their last world cup, am expecting them to deliver their best for their country cos all eyes and expectations are on them. The chances of Portugal and Argentina meeting each other at the finals is very slim, both countries will play their best but not reach the finals. If there is a way Portugal will meet Argentine in the world cup, I will love it. Let both goat play against each other the last time before they call football quit

I see nothing wrong with that. I saw on the news yesterday that France captain Hugo Lloris talked about respecting the host nation and I agree with him. He said:

When we are in France, when we welcome foreigners, we often want them to follow our rules, to respect our culture, and I will do the same when I go to Qatar, quite simply.

That's the best message to all people that plan to travel to Qatar.

[shogun47]

I think Belgium is pretty much out of the question here. They will qualify for the next round 99% as they are always able to switch gears considering the overall quality of their squad. In most cases Croatia is also going to the next round in this group. Canada has had rather weak performances recently so I don't think they can just change gears and play on a totally different level. That's why it will eventually come down to whether or not Croatia is able to show a realistically positive performance or whether they might have a bad day or be unlucky against Canada. Morocco is a bit unknown to me, but I just noticed they had some strong performances in friendlies against Chile and Paraguay.

The favourite indeed belongs to Belgium and Croatia but in my opinion Morocco cannot be underestimate because some people thought the current squad is one of the best generation for Morocco team and at their squad Morocco have several players who played at big teams in europa such as Achraf Hakimi from PSG, Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich and Chelsea player Hakim Ziyech so these players were familiar with European football style and with their experience i am sure they can bringing Morocco becomes an dark horses team who possibly can makes strong teams such as Belgium or Croatia slipped

These are very good examples you brought up and these types of players can push the rest of the squad by a lot! It has often been the case that African teams delivered amazing fights against other teams from all over the world.

People are looking at names too much at times. Everyone who has been into sports knows that the prestige of a tournament (and the World Cup is the maximum) pushes the boundaries of every single player. Also the fact that soccer became more and more international, popular and competitive led to many countries improve a lot because the new generation there started to recognize the role of world soccer and then they started to train harder as well. Concepts can be copied, information is easier to be gathered.

Morocco is an interesting opponent because they have some excellent people on the team who can lead their team and give opponents a hard time.

I am also quite sure that this will be the last world cup of Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean he is already 37 years old already and i doubt that he will still play with 41 years of age when the next world cup is happening, even though i also don't want to completely rule that out because so far he shows zero signs that he wants to retire soon. He also is a very professional sportsman so even if he is 37 years old he still has the body of an average 32 year old pro football player i would guess so we will see.
Messi is 35 so i also think that there is still a slight chance that he will also play in the next world cup but of course until then anything can happen. One big injury and the career is over.

[Sithara007]

Many football fans want to watch the Argentina-Portugal final. Judging by the form states, it seems unlikely. But let's not forget that football is not played on paper, especially in big tournaments. A team that plays with faith can beat any team. The probability of this final is low, but there is no reason why it shouldn't happen. Let's wait and see.

Argentina is OK. They deserve a place in the final. But I am not that sure about Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo is perhaps the best player at this moment, but he lacks support from his team-mates. And Portugal is an ageing side. Ronaldo is 37, and some of the others such as Pepe, Rui Patrício, João Moutinho and José Fonte are also in their late 30s. I have heard a lot about younger players such as João Félix and Rafael Leão, but are they capable of giving adequate support to Ronaldo? I would still prefer these two instead of André Silva in the XI.

Because of the problems he is facing, which I am sure will impair his performance for his country Portugal, I don't include Ronaldo among the best scorers of the World Cup.
Messi and Mbappe are my picks based on their league form, as well as how important both of them are to their national teams. Messi is a very talented player with experience who will be able to turn things around for his country, and Mbappe too will be among this world cup's top scorers.

Maybe for now but we may never know when the World Cup starts. The names that I list as I think will be one of the top scorers for sure but will there be another name that steal that spotlight? I don't know, World Cup has full of surprises and even now it's just exhilarating to anticipate the event this 20th, only a few more days from now.

In fact, all countries deserve to be in the final, not only Argentina. Indeed, everyone predicts that Argentina will be in the final at this year's World Cup, but we cannot underestimate other countries that have the world's top players. I'm not sure about the defenders. Argentina to drive out all the world's top strikers, because Argentina has defenders who in my opinion are not strong enough to bring to the Qatar World Cup, this is what makes me doubt..

When talking about Portuguese players we cannot judge from just one point regarding the age of the players, in terms of playing football age cannot be a benchmark that these players will decrease in performance, but we can question their quality on the field, of course they have sufficient experience, in help Cristiano Ronaldo to attack the enemy's defense, the quality of young players is also a factor for Ronaldo to get supplies from new players, such as João Félix, Rafael Leão, Goncalo Guedes, Francisco Trincao, Joao Cancelo, maybe these young players will be able to support the players, who are old like Pepe, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Danilo Pereira, Rui Patricio, at least that can be a reference in every match that Portugal plays in the Qatar World Cup preliminary round.

They might disappoint you, because the expectation of these two players by their fans are very high. They might tried their best but their best might not good enough for the fans that is how high expectation always be. Because  this is their last world cup so they should play and killed themselves, please you people (fans) of these players should do things in a calm way. It is not only Ronaldo and Messi that are in the world cup, other players might perform well more than them. Though they are good players but not all time. We cannot say or predict team because of one player. I have been saying this since, but let see what will happen in the tournament.

It hasn't been updated by the OP and after this post the OP will fix the team that will be included in the vote in this thread.

Anyway, many people think that Argentina is a favorite for winning the World Cup, but the Argentinian team doesn't impress me.

Messi is an old story and in this World Cup he will look different from the 2010 World Cup, 2014 and 2018. Of the many stories of Lionel Messi with Argentina in the World Cup tournament, 2014 was his best effort to help Argentina become runner-up.
Considering that the 2022 tournament will be held in Qatar, it is likely that there will be a lot of surprises due to the weather.

[AakZaki]

Mere looking at the countries in group F, there's no single doubt that Belgium and Croatia will qualify in the group but hopefully it's not going to be an easy fight for the both countries. There's still Canada which have quality set of players that are hungered to represent their countries in the world cup. But Belgium and Croatia have set of experience players who also have a master plan of playing high level games, they will easily beat their opponents to the next round.

I often see there are small surprises every first game of the world cup. Group F will open with the Maroco vs Croatia match on November 23.  Then next Belgium vs Canada.  They had to optimize their 2 matches as the Belgium vs Croatia match was at the end. So if they lose one, their chances are still pretty big with a win two early games. For this early game I predicted 1-0 for Maroco and 2-1 for Belgiu

[lizarder]

Romelu Lukaku is a really big player for them. He is one of the best strikers in the world who can do great things on the forward line. With these features, he will be a football player that I can enjoy watching in the world cup. I hope he recovers quickly from injury and shows his skills here for us with all his might. Belgium is one of the strong teams of this tournament.

And it looks like Romelu Lukaku will recover and be able to play in the Qatar World Cup, I'm trying to browse the news about Romelu Lukaku, now he has joined the squad in Kuwait, where Belgium is preparing for the World Cup, this is good news for Belgium because Romelu Lukaku can play with Eden Hazard as a good tandem up front, so that the Belgian attack line will be sharper and more dangerous.

The Belgian team is also very complete at the moment, they have great players in all positions, thus the Belgium squad is declared strong and quite perfect in facing the Qatar World Cup this time.

Ronaldo and Messi are very often talked about at the 2022 World Cup because this is the last time for the two football legends to play in the highest tournament. His age is no longer young, making fans hope that one of these two players can get a World Cup trophy before retiring from the national team.

The world cup is not about Ronaldo and Messi, there are still many other star players from various countries who want to help their country won the most prestigious tournament.
All teams will fight to be the best. If I may say so, I really hope that Portugal and Argentina will go to the final. Ronaldo and Messi will face each other to be the best at the end of their careers and will be the most beautiful story when they hang up their boots.

Do you mean Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Lionel Messi (Argentina)?

I think it's very possible because these two national teams are the favorites in this World Cup. but it feels like it would be too beautiful if it becomes reality. But I also seem to be a little expecting the same thing about it.

and If you look at Argentina's position in group C, then I think Argentina can qualify from the group stage quite easily. because Poland, Saudi Arabia and Mexico are not too troublesome opponents. but Poland deserves to be reckoned with. because Robert Lewandowski and his friends definitely don't want it to be like in 2018 which could only reach the group phase. so Poland must be working harder.

And for Portugal who are in Group H. I think they also have a big chance to qualify from the group stage. Group H's strongest opponent is probably Uruguay. and for Ghana I don't know much because in 2018 Ghana doesn't seem to be in the World Cup. But South Korea also needs to be concerned. because Uruguay and South Korea are always full of surprises at every World Cup.

I doubt the performance of his legendary rival recently, Ronaldo is now 37 years old, it will be very difficult for him, his stamina will be very far from his heyday. Likewise, Lionel Messi is 35 years old, but in every game he plays, Messi is somewhat better than the game shown by Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.
Their era will soon be replaced by new rivals in the world of football, there will be new star candidates in my opinion who will be present such as:

1. Jude Bellingham (England)
2. Gavi (Spain)
3. Bukayo Saka (English)
4. Jamal Musiala (Germany)
5. Pedri (Spain)
6. Vinicius Junior (Brazil)
