FIFA 2022 world cup

[bering]

~snip~
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.

Argentina on group C along with Saudi Arabia, Poland and Mexico and they are as champion favourite because if i am not mistaken Argentina was unbeatable since 2019 but Messi has said this is makes Argentina under pressure because as the favourite most of fans want to see Argentina always be playing well and regarding their chances on group C i think it's hard to achieve perfect points on this group considering Mexico and Poland possibly will make Argentina slipped especially Poland because we all know Poland has Lewandowski and this player is very experience and probably as strong candidate for top scorer in this tournament besides that Lewandowski had ambition want to bringing Poland to qualified because probably this would be his last world cup

[Leviathan.007]

It's hard to say which team is going to play in the final match and which teams are going to qualify in the group stage, but regarding some groups, I can say Netherlands can have the more chance by far in group A and Germany/ Spain in group E. This years the world cup will be more will be harder to predict compared to the last world cup because many famous and high-performance players like Messi and Ronaldo are far from their best performance they usually performed and instead we can wait to see new starts in this tournament, in the end, I see more chance for Germany to win the cup.

England has always had some of the best players in their national team like David Beckham,Wayne Rooney,Michael Owen and others yet they have never won anything big like the World Cup since the 1966 title.Now we are again in such situation with great players like the one you mentioned here yet they missed the last Euro in the final against Italy despite playing well.They need a winning mentality for bigger competitions like the World Cup which seems to be the thing that hinder their performance,they should believe more in themselves,of course without underestimating others but this is the biggest problem they have as a team.

I think they will be in the last 4 in this world championship. They start on Monday against Iran and we will see how well they play. After that against USA and Wales. They should win all 3 games, but we will see. Harry Kane are the captain of the team and with a goal in game 1 the motivation increase. The Prince of Wales (Prince Wiliam) stands also by the English team.

You're a hilarious man; support any team regardless of who stands with them. Even if Prince William of Wales supports the England team and they perform poorly, they will still be eliminated from the competition. The England team is not the title favorite. They lack a winning attitude; in reality, the team is devoid of any champions. Harry Kane, the captain, has never received a trophy in his career. The team is busy with many activities. England is simply participating in the world cup like every other team, in my opinion.

[Ahli38]

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

Your overall prediction is pretty much the same as I think. But there is a slight difference in group E. I see that those who will qualify from group E are Spain and Germany. But if it turns out that the ones who qualify for the round of 16 are unexpected teams then I think this will make the FIFA world Cup even more interesting. Just like me, I hope that my favorite team, namely South Korea, can qualify for the round of 16. sometimes predictions and expectations are always different. and sometimes the results that appear are beyond predictions and expectations. That's football which is always full of surprises.

The World Cup starts very soon, next Sunday. But I was surprised to find out that there will be some friendly matches between national teams today. For example, there will be matches against teams like Spain, Morocco and Portugal. I think all of these favourites may lose today because the coaches won't field a main squad ahead of very important games.

[Ahli38]

I just browsed the profiles of the Mexico national team players at the FIFA World Cup. and I was a little surprised when I found out that Alfredo Talavera (one of Mexico's goalkeepers) is 40 years old now. Doesn't that mean that Alfredo Talavera is the oldest player in the world cup this time? i think it's awesome.

and finally I also find out if there are other players who are older than Alfredo Talavera. but it seems that only Alfredo Talavera is already 40 years old. But actually there are 4 other players from different countries who are almost 40 years old. like

- Atiba Hutchinson (Canada) is 39 years, 9 months old.

- Pepe (Portugal) is 39 years, 8 months old.

- Eiji Kawashima (Japan) is 39 years, 8 months old.

- Dani Alves (Brazil) is 39 years, 6 months old.

I really appreciate these players.

Under the leadership of Lionel Messi, Argentina stepped into World Cup host country Qatar to end their 36-year title reign. Messi-De Maria arrived in Doha, Qatar from Abu Dhabi in the early hours of (November 17). Albiceleste defeated the United Arab Emirates by a big margin on Wednesday (November 16) at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in the last warm-up match before the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni's men won 5-0 against the hosts. Angel Di Maria scored two goals for the team. Lionel Messi, Julián Alvarez and Joaquin Correa scored one goal each. Argentina last lifted the trophy at the FIFA World Cup in 1986. After that last, Maradona, no one else could put a smile on Albiceleste's face in the last three eras. In 2014, Lionel Messi came so close to the dream but the fans were heartbroken by the nightmare of Mario Gotze.

[Daniel91]

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.

ya.ya.yo!

It was a very difficult game for Croatia and a very hard-fought victory, 1:0 for Croatia.
It could even be said that Saudi Arabia lost undeservedly and they were even close to victory.
After the match, almost all Croatian players and the coach talked about the very difficult conditions for the game and the high heat, which made it very difficult for the players to play.
It seems to me that this is another indication that it will be very difficult for the European teams to play in the World Cup, because they are not used to such difficult weather conditions.
Because of this, we might see some unexpected results at the World Cup.

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 is our favorite team. and I hope they can smoothly advance to the semi-finals and even to the final. however, it looks like it won't be easy even though Argentina has had a very impressive record in recent years. the reason is, Argentina has not shown anything in the world cup that will be held soon.
at least, Argentina must go through phase by phase first and maybe in the last 16 round later. Argentina got a very tough opponent, which might stop their progress to the next round.

we should not take it lightly, France, Germany, England, Spain and even the Netherlands. all participants who will compete in this world cup, will show their best game by playing all out. and yes, Brazil is the most favorite candidate to win this tournament. only a few days left, the world cup will be held soon. so, let's wait and see.

Atiba Hutchinson is a Beşiktaş legend. He only took time in the last game this season, but last season he played in most games and had a very good season. He was going to retire football but extended his career for another season to play in the World Cup. I think he will do good job with Canada. We can say that he is the most national player and national hero in his country.
Pepe also had good seasons in Beşiktaş, then he returned to Porto. Dani Alves is another great player who has proven his quality over the years. Players who take good care of themselves can play football for many years. That's what it's like to be a professional. I hope they all have a nice World Cup before they retire.

[Z-tight]

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

Argentina are one of the favorites to win the world cup, so the group phase is not a thing to them, it is easier for them now that they are in a very easy group, but even though they were in a stronger group, i still expect them to quality from it, only that they may not be able to do it with maximum points. The Argentine players have been talking about going to 'war for Messi', and that they are ready to give everything they have to make sure they win the tournament for Messi and for his legacy, that is going to give them some boost, and we will probably see Argentina in the final, my dream final is actually Brazil v Argentina, if this match happens, the entire world will stop for it for 90 great minutes.

It is very possible that Argentina will qualify for the next round with 9 points, especially since Argentina came to Qatar with an unbeaten record in 35 games.
I have seen several games played by Argentina including the last match when they beat the UAE with a score of 5-0, there is nothing to correct from the appearance of the Argentine players. All of them played very well and were able to close space to prevent players from the opposing team from occupying their defensive area.

Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia are the opponents that Argentina will face in group C. If measured in terms of the quality of the players, Argentina can miss all the games in the group phase with a win.

[Rruchi man]

I think all of these favourites may lose today because the coaches won't field a main squad ahead of very important games.

Any body that was selected for the world cup to represent their country deserved their spot in the world cup team and were selected based on their recent form and fitness. Because it is just eleven players that can feature at a go, only eleven will have to play, it doesn't make the other players less special. The team may not play intense football  so they don't get injured, but a win is important to raise the morale of the players entering the world cup and they know the importance.

Group F: Belgium and Croatia
Group G: Brazil, obviously. Followed by Serbia in second place.
Group H: Portugal and Uruguay

Switzerland, in my opinion, is more worthy than Serbia, where they currently have players who are quite reliable in every position on the team, so far they have performed quite well in the game, and have been able to compete with Spain and Germany in the last matches.

Meanwhile, the Swiss team led by Murat Yakin in the last 15 matches won 7 matches, drew 4 matches and lost 3 matches.
not easily beaten by Serbia or Brazil.
I think Switzerland should be considered in terms of player stats and match history.

[DaNNy001]

The World Cup is just by the door step and different players are set again to make name for themselves in Qatar..
The world will host alot of countries and it will be the ground hole for so many awards to be the given out this season..

Players from different football league are going to Qatar to represent. and with the stats currently  in ground is that the  premier league has the list of most players to appear in the World Cup. The reason for this is coined down to the fact that the premier league is currently the most competitive league in the world withholding top notch player from around the world .

Their winning record should be maintained by playing other teams and moving on to the next round. So far, 36 matches without a loss is a magnificent achievement. If Messi lifts the World Cup trophy, the world will be delighted. Although they must earn it by winning match after match on the pitch. Argentina is the potential champion, so all eyes are on them. Those people deserve to win this World Cup, they deserve it. Here's hoping their dreams come true. Although we can't narrow down other possibilities, the least expected team may win this year's world cup.

I really appreciate these players.

Well, it's easier for a goalie than field players to maintain longevity in the game.
I'm glad that Alves and Pepe are in the lineup. Pepe of course is not the most pleasant defender and person, but in defense he is a wall. A man with character, every national team needs him.

Well, Dani Alves was great for his not the easiest position of right-back, is still in such shape, it certainly costs a lot.
Although in the Brazilian national team quite old defenders, which is strange in general, but I`m not worried for Dani Alves.   

[Pulsar77]

I have seen that there have been some Pakistani supporters starting to appear in the World Cup recently. It is because of not showing the stadium empty and it is said that these "supporters" are earning some money from this situation as well. I'm not surprised with the emptiness now because there are still a few days for the tournament to start. Besides hotels in Qatar are very expensive at the same time. People have to pay insane amount of money for even one night. Therefore I understand why people aren't rushing to go there earlier.

Still I think FIFA's action about this situation is wrong. Why would you use this kind of tricks to show a stadium full? People know what they are doing now anyway so this is pointless.

At group G on the paper Brazil will almost be certain to qualified to the next round and for runner up position probably will belongs to Switzerland or Serbia but it's hard to choose which team is stronger between them and i think these teams had equal chances to qualified considering both of teams were unbeatable during world cup qualification matches especially Switzerland that their captain Granit Xhaka which is Arsenal player are quite confident he can bringing Switzerland qualified to round of 16 and he is in the good shape after help Arsenal get first position on premier league

Cameroon probably the weakest team in this group so if want to qualified Switzerland and Serbia should be utilized the match against Cameroon to gets full points moreover Cameroon preparation to faced world cup doesn't so well because after can gets 3rd position on African Cup Cameroon performance were decline even from 4 latest friendly matches Cameroon was failed to win
