FIFA 2022 world cup

[tulusikhlas]

It is not surprising that the Premier League is the league that has contributed the most players to the World Cup because the Premier League is the most popular league at the moment. The level of competition there is so competitive that it is possible for the country to summon its players who are in the Premier League. From a mental perspective, I can also say that the players in the Premier League are better than the current league.

Yes, everyone knows that the English league is the most popular league and there are many great players playing in the English league, but unfortunately with so many players from abroad playing in the English league, not many English players have developed and are unable to compete with international players. . from the outside, even though so far there have been many great players from England, I hope the English national team can talk a lot in this world cup, but to get to the championship I think it will be difficult for England, and the semifinals are probably the highest that England can do in this world cup

I think English players are as good as other countries, it's just that their fundamental problem is the rivalry within the team they defend in the league they bring to their country which causes their game in the England national team to not run optimally. We know that their rivalry within the club is very hot, and it doesn't stop there because it also happens in the national team. If we look to the past, we will find flashy names from the England national team, but their game is far from extraordinary.

Spain won the exhibition match against Jordan 1-3. Still a simple victory, just a shame about the goal against in the last minute of the game. I don't think this was the base team of the Spanish national team, I see some fairly unknown names in it. Perhaps some players will get a rest because they have only just come out of the competition. And on December 31 they can play football again, who actually came up with that? Malta almost beat Greece. Germany has one of the greatest talents in the world, I think Germany should also be counted among the absolute title favourites.

The number of injuries leading up to this World Cup is not too bad. I expected that we would experience a lot more injuries. Players have suffered minor injuries a few times. Louis van Gaal steals the show with his interviews and fierce responses to certain journalists. A box has now also been created on livescore.com with results about the World Cup. The first game of the tournament is in 3 days. I think Qatar is doing everything it can to win this match, with all the consequences that entails. Senegal and the Netherlands are strong opponents in this group. I certainly don't see Ecuador going through to the next round in this group, although it was nice that they finished in the best 4 in qualifying.

As the host country, Qatar will make every effort to go at least past the group stage. But given the likes of team in their group, I don't see that happening so easily for them. The most likely teams to advance with their team from that group are the Netherlands and Senegal. Given the amount of talented players on their team, Ecuador might fare better than Qatar. Although Qatar is the host country, getting into the next round may be quite difficult for them. Even still, since this is football, anything can happen and propel them to the next round.

On papers and analysis all showing Qatar is not good enough to have position in next round, but it's all needed good intention because now with the Injury Sadio Mané Senegal is surely in trouble which is giving them hope for having this spot but still for this they have to play aggressive game and bring down few teams like Ecuador and Senegal which are the toughest competitor.

Qatar is improving things for having bright future in soccer but currently all eyes on them because after spending billions of USD now they are looking for positive end of this event for the fans and their own team as well no doubt on ground many upsets can happen with too many players are capable of having better ending for event with their quality.

Portugal is currently playing against Nigeria. in a friendly match. before the start of the FIFA World cup. and the score while still 1-0 in favor of Portugal. and Portugal controlled the match more. However, in this match, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be able to compete because he is still recovering from his illness. Looks like Ronaldo has Magg pain. And I think the hot weather in Qatar can indeed make players who are not used to it easily get tired and even sick. But I didn't expect that to happen.

[BIT-BENDER]

I don't know why I have this hunch but I think politics may interfere in this year FIFA World Cup. It was a controversial World Cup from the get go by it being giving to Qatar in the first place, but issues like rainbow hand band, restrictions to fans and players in the jurisdictions of Qatar as a country and so many other issues at hand.

Also the players aren't well rested as they would have been if the competition was played in June, and still I don't think the weather helps in any way. I hope for a beautiful game but I think one or two issues may arise.

At the end of the first half, Portugal is leading 2-0. Bruno fernandes scored two goals. But one was from a penalty chance. Bruno's performance was quite good today. But today I wanted to see Ronaldo in the squad. And I would say this match was very important for Ronaldo as well. Because he did not get much opportunity to play in Manchester United squad. Cristiano Ronaldo is not in good form. Therefore, before the World Cup, Ronaldo had a good chance to return to the form of performing in these friendly matches. But sadly he missed the match.

Well Brunos performance has just been that, nothing much from his performance at Manchester United. He's taking the game with some worth seriousness and still acts like a captain on the pitch, even though he isn't the one captaining this match with Pepe on the pitch  but his goals have definitely given Portugal the edge and Nigeria have done very little to offset that. The best attempts so far fir me is the one from Moses Simon in the first half and a later trier by Samuel Chukwueze in the second half.
With this sort of performance, Nigeria was definitely not ready for the world cup and Ghanaade very certain of it in the qualifiers.

They are probobly saving him for the World cup because this match isnt important at all. But this wins confirms that Portugal looks confident before the start of the World Cup. Bruno with two goals shows that he is in a good form

Today there is a friendly match between Spain vs Jordan. After 67min passed Spain makes 2 goal They put Jordan under pressure from the start of the match to such an extent that it felt like the match was very much a fortnight. And it is also true that today's match was already predictable and now it is being realized.

The game is over and it was a simple test. Luckily no one got injured, so close to the important event in football, that would be extremely crazy. Well, it starts on Sunday and Qatar is playing, I don't care about the game. Portugal also has a testmatch against Nigeria. It is over and Nigeria missed a penalty, final 4:0.

England have one of the best squads in the World Cup now. Their squad is like full of star players. But their main problem is team performance. The players somehow don't manage to play as strong as they do in the English Premier League. This prevents England national team from being more successful. They just can't use the potential I mean. I don't know if this is related to their manager but we won't be able to see it until we witness some changes in the team.

Southgate is rumoured to leave his job after the World Cup. There have been rumours about Steven Gerrard to take the job after that but we will see. I'd rather a very experienced manager for this solid squad rather than Gerrard truthfully.

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.

Who stands with them does have a small amount of impact, and you might be confused on how, but English people would know. I am personally not English, but worked with English people for 4 years, and I can tell you the reason. First of all, you are right, they are playing just like anyone else and they are favourites because they have a good roster, France, England, Brazil and Argentina are the four horseman of this world cup and these four teams look like they are the best teams right now.

The difference Prince Williams makes is that English people do care about royalty, and seeing him up there watching them play does give them a bit of courage and fire, which would help them a bit, not a lot, but a bit, at least on a psychological level.

seen Portugal vs. Nigeria Thank God Nigeria did not even qualify; it was not worth it at all to watch the competition. After Portugal defeated Nigeria 4:0 and Israel defeated Zambia 4:2, Portugal is prepared to perform in this World Cup match against Ghana. I wish Ghana luck as this World Cup will be difficult and interesting. Most countries are prepared and want to make their country proud, The manner in which Portugal defeated Nigeria genuinely moved me. Earlier, I was disappointed.

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.

What a final it will be, the two teams am supporting playing against each other at the final. I love this generation of Argentina players in the national,they don't have the Aguero,Tevez,Higuian but they are very tight as a unit,they won the Copa America together, and they always want to win for Messi, I think that's the difference between them and the past Argentines, you hear players like Christian Romero saying they fight for Messi,you hear Martinez the goal keeper saying they have to win the Copa America because Messi needs to have a trophy for the national team.

Argentina are a very strong side, they are fierce and look very ambitious to win the trophy for this fact they are unpredictable and are capable of anything in this tornament. This players talking about going to war for Messi means so much and they are willing to give everything to make Messi win the world cup which is something for other teams in the world cup to be scared of.

After Portugal defeated Nigeria 4:0 and Israel defeated Zambia 4:2, Portugal is prepared to perform in this World Cup match against Ghana. I wish Ghana luck as this World Cup will be difficult and interesting.

Another god thing from the game is that Portugal was still able to play well and win without their star player Christiano Ronaldo. It shows that they can do well without him still in their world cup games. I feel some players who are overshadowed by Ronaldo whenever he is playing will be happy with the opportunity, they have had to show how well they can still play without Ronaldo on the field. The conditions which Nigeria played them today will not be the same conditions that the other African country in their group Ghana will play with. Ghana will want to show that they earned their place in this competition.

Guys, I'm thinking about to create a new thread with updated poll to all of us vote and see which squad are the most favorite here, and to continue the discussion.
I can update the thread daily with matches and all rounds

What do you think?
I don't want to be against the rules to create repeated threads, but I'd like to see some opinions


Very anxious here to start my bets, I'm just thinking about how much I'll spend in gamble this cup

Hope it's fake news but I expect everything from these people. The process of giving the World Cup to Qatar was already dubious enough. Now it makes perfect sense that they offered money in the opening match so as not to be disgraced with a humiliating score. Even such a possibility is enough to cast a shadow on the tournament. I hope it's not true.

I'm sure, if Ronaldo plays in this match then of course Ronaldo will take a penalty kick and because Ronaldo doesn't play in this match, Bruno Fernandes is a player who is more or less likely to replace Ronaldo's role in Portugal because that also seems to be happening at Manchester United. Also, in the World Cup both Portugal and Nigeria, on paper they are indeed the team that has a better chance of winning the group.
So that in Portugal's first match against Ghana, I personally don't doubt Portugal's quality and of course Portugal will win its first match in Group H.

But about Nigeria, even though they have a chance to win when they play against Guinea Bissau in their first match, and also have a good chance to win the group.
Still, if I look at the final results of their several matches so far, Nigeria will never be easy to win the group. Because they are also not very productive in scoring goals in every match, so big efforts will of course still be needed for Nigeria if they target to win the group.

Portugal players performed very well against Nigeria today. They secured a resounding 4-0 win. And without Ronaldo, the most important player in their squad. It seems that they have reduced their dependence on Ronaldo. This is a big achievement for them I would say. Because in the past we have seen that the Portugal team was completely dependent on Ronaldo. And now Ronaldo is not in good form. If the Portugal team is still dependent on Ronaldo, they will not be able to perform well in the World Cup. Also relying on just one player is very risky.

Portugal gave an unusual performance today in the match between Nigeria and Portugal. Portugal scored 4 goals but Nigeria could not score any goals.But looking at the game of Portugal, it seems that the players of the Portugal team have changed a lot and now they have all become stronger. Now they have performed well without relying on Ronaldo.Such a good performance by Portugal will play a very important role for the World Cup.And the change of each player is a big achievement for the Portugal team. Let's move forward, this is what I hope for the Portugal football team.

German no doubt will perform well in Qatar, as well as Argentine but their not favourite for the title. We should watch Portugal and France closely their are favourite for the title to me.

There are some players that I consider important not being able to participate in the World Cup this time. N'Golo Kante, Pogba, Mendy, Martial. In 2018 they became Deschamps' main players. Especially Pogba, he became the life of the french game. To qualify for the group I still don't believe they are capable. But to be champion again seems difficult. I prefer it with Brazil at the moment.

Yes indeed France lost some important players in this World Cup, but it will not be a big problem because they have a large stock of players in that position. Portugal is another country that is believed to be able to talk more at the Qatar World Cup. However, bad news came to their captain today, yes, Cristiano Ronaldo became a hot topic of conversation after he appeared in an interview and gave the latest information about how he feels at his current club, Manchester United.
Argentina was also predicted by many people that they would penetrate the highest round, namely the final, but let's just wait for their progress, whether they will be able to answer the trust of many people to be able to go far in Qatar.

Most of the time  - the favourite too are left behind and someone else wins the title.
But I would like to see if the Portugal or France makes their way to the finals.
