FIFA 2022 world cup

[Zackgeno96]

Argentina literally had an exhibition game. You can't call this match a showdown. It is typical that you choose an opponent where you know you will not lose. I am also curious who will be the top scorer of the tournament. The bookies think Harry Kane, but why not Mbappe or Benzema? The number of goals in qualifying doesn't say much. If you are with a country like San Marino and you score 4 goals, what does that mean? Incidentally, I also heard that Senegal is number 20 on the FIFA ranking. Quite a high rating for this African country. What I also heard is that they managed to eliminate France in 2002. They are hungry for success, with Mane, the man in form but also the man who got injured unfortunately. I don't know if he can play the first game right away.

UAE   0 : 5 Argentina

Good result for Argentina, they have had an unbeaten run for over ten games, and it is a good thing none of them got injured, that would have been a really terrible news for them. I believe they can carry this performance into the world cup, it will make them more of a candidate for the winner of this year's competition. For Messi who has never won the world cup, a victory for Argentina this time around will be the crown on all the medals he has gotten from a very good career in football over the years.

Brazil and Argentina seem to have to be included in the OP poll, not just a number of European countries which in my opinion cannot advance to the semifinals to the final. I really feel Argentina and Brazil got a lot of support in this year's world cup because of the great team performances. So it would be nice to put one of them as favorite.

Messi scored 7 goals during qualifying in the Conmebol zone, while Neymar scored 8 goals. It was quite convincing that they both appeared with their best performance in this year's world cup because the performance of both of them at the club level was also good.

[Zaguru12]

I hope Messi, he looks so ready to help his country succeed this year for the World Cup. I like to call them the favorites, but I have to admit some of the other favorites like Ronaldo, Neymar and Mbappe really deserve it too. I have a reason why Messi looks good to be my favourite, it's because Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland are behind them in terms of player quality. This is only limited to the group stage.

Messi will actually wrap up more goals because of the weaker group opponents he has. But Neymar will come good because he has creative team around him. Concerning Mbappe I feel he wouldn't be the pointed man like last World Cup because of the presence of Benzema. Mbappe might be pushed to wing to create room for Benzema and both players will have to share the goals between themselves. With France also lacking creative Mildfielders the chances created might be reduce compare to last time.

UAE   0 : 5 Argentina

Enjoyed Argentina vs UAE friendly so far. Argentina's players have performed very well. Argentina won a great 5-0. Di Maria's performance was excellent. He scored two goals and one assist. On the other hand, Messi scored a goal and an assist. Also the performances of players like De Paul, Otamendi and Allister were very good. In this way, if Argentina is able to continue the performance, then Barcelona will win every match in the group stage. Argentina has talented players in defense, midfield, and forward and all are in good form.

The match felt one-sided in this regard, I don't know why even though Argentina didn't dominate the ball too much and the tempo wasn't too fast, seeing their attacks like this was clearly very good in my opinion.
Di Maria also performed brilliantly in this match with the brace he created, this was a pretty good capital as a warm-up for the world cup.

Messi will actually wrap up more goals because of the weaker group opponents he has.

I'm not sure if Messi can score more goals in the world cup which will be held in a few days. Messi is unable to score goals without accurate assists. Messi can't do that alone. If he is more active, of course he will be guarded more strictly by opposing players so that the chances of the goal are no longer on Messi.

[Mr.right85]

Is it even ideal to have these world cup qualified teams play against teams that couldn't make it through the qualifiers?
Like, you've got everything to lose and they've got nothing to lose for a game of no significance. Probably they won't have to play with there first team (at qualified teams) but the chances of injury to the few that participated remains a risk still.

It's likely his last world cup, the one trophy he lacks and putting in work to push his Argentine squard to the finals if possible won't b lacking. Argentina remains a good team still and Messi seeking individual glory in terms of performance and goals which I think he would deliver on, is some way to help the team as well. Should his team mates play with same intent with a coordinated team work, they could go far in the competition.

[yayayo]

Croatia won an exhibition game 10 minutes before the end. It doesn't say much, but it's better to win such matches than lose for self-confidence. I expect an equal match between Qatar and Ecuador. By the way, it is still pretty good that Ecuador has qualified, you have a strong selection of teams in the Americas nowadays. Colombia has fallen far behind in qualifying in recent years. They even finished 6th in qualifying, behind Peru. They have brought that on themselves by winning only 2x in the last 5 games. Uruguay could also eliminate a title favorite at the World Cup. It would be nice for the country if Qatar managed to win the opening game.

ya.ya.yo!

[Jody.Drummer]

which player do you think will win the golden boot and score the most goals in this tournament?
will it be one of the favorites (like Benzema or Mbappe) or maybe someone you don't have on your radar right now?

In this case, I actually still feel that the golden boot now depends on which national team will now shine.
Mbappe and Benzema are indeed quite good strikers, but the problem is seeing the current condition of France I feel a little pessimistic as well as Kane in England who are always unlucky for competition.
I think the Brazilian and Argentinian players are still quite strong considering their team's performance was also very good in qualifying but it does not rule out that there are other names too such as players from Holland, Belgium or maybe Germany who will be in front later.

I like how Di Maria played as well, if he plays like that in the tournament that would boost Argentina's chances. Julian Alvarez also played good, he's still getting international experience. Argentina should've played against a better team though, this was not a good test. United Arab Emirates have no quality players. Probably opening game for Argentina will be similar to this friendly. Saudi Arabia is almost same level as UAE, they are just slightly better.

This world cup will be an interesting one as some of the legends and top players will be featuring in their last world cup before retirement so a lot is expected and so much thrilling experience to get from it. I can't really say which striker will score the most goals but I know some players will impress in this world cup. Senegal being top 20 isn't so much of a surprise to me because it is well deserved, they have represented Africa in the world  and they are a hungry and ambitious side. I can't wait for the games to begin to see how the top players will fare.

We all hope to see trilling games from the world cup tournament. The stars representing their various countries are just so countless almost every country has at least one iconic player with expectations from their fans. And been that this will be the last for most of this icons we expect to see the competition that hasn't been recorded in the history of football. Who gets the most goal from this world cup will be decided by which country's team has the most team work and management.

What's great about Di Maria's current shape is that he functions very well along with Messi. They both know each other in and out, Di Maria still has great speed and great precision in his passing and seeking the free space. I am sure we are going to see some great moves by the Argentinian offense. They are for sure a great name again and I hope they'll make it far in this tournament as it it always great to see Messi perform for a long time throughout the tournament. He is thrilled beyond imagination I guess.

Saudi Arabia is better than UAE but these two teams overall level is below Argentina one by far. Argentina shouldn't have difficult times to pass its group without a defeat, they might get a draw but I don't see one of the teams in that group able to beat them.
I even expect +3 goals vs Saudi Arabia.
Few days left from the first game and we still hear about serious injuries in some teams during the training sessions!

Honestly, I expect Argentina to pass to the next stage with 9 points.

They classified in the South American conference with no loses at all, and it's an extremely competitive conference. This group should be pretty easy to win for Argentina.

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.

Before the WC, England did perform poorly during their participation in the UEFA Nations League tournament. Joined in Group A with Germany, Italy and Hungary, England have never tasted victory. Their best record is only being able to draw against Germany, but in the WC this time it will be a little different.

For us, England's weakness is still in the same position, namely the defense, but this time in the WC England are in Group B with slightly easier opponents although it should not be underestimated.

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.

This is not necessarily true. We think teams from Europe can still do a lot in Qatar.

My prediction for all groups that should qualify in the first stage is:
Group A: Holland, which is visibly the strongest country and Ecuador in second;
Group B: England, one of the favorites to reach the finals, followed by the United States perhaps;
Group C: Argentina for sure and Mexico in second place;
Group D: France and Denmark
Group E: Spain, which is one of the favorites in this cup, and Japan, which is also a very strong team.
Group F: Belgium and Croatia
Group G: Brazil, obviously. Followed by Serbia in second place.
Group H: Portugal and Uruguay

I am not sure about this. Netherlands maybe the strongest team on paper, but the Group looks very tight. Ecuador is a quality team from the CONMEBOL and then we have the strongest teams from AFC and CAF (Qatar and Senegal respectively). Given the fact that Netherlands has suffered a few upset defeats in the past, a repeat of the same can't be ruled out in Group A. I agree with you for the prediction on most of the other groups, perhaps with the exception of Group E. For me, it will be Spain and Germany.

For sure Argentina will progress to the semifinals or even the finals. Their unending wins in the qualifiers and friendly games shows that they’ll pose a serious threat to other teams in this tournament. They’re well prepared and have a team that can create chances, convert these chances and defend their wins. Not just me, but a lot of football fans has tipped them to win this tournament as they’re the favorite to do so.

Argentina's consistent wins in the past matches have raised their dream of winning the World Cup in Qatar. Their performance will really take them to the finals. But since it's the World Cup, you have to fight with many teams. Moreover, in the World Cup, all the teams give more importance than other matches. Argentina fans are expecting a little more because this World Cup is the last World Cup for the favorite footballer Messi. Anyway only 3 days left ‍after that desired day is going to start.
