FIFA 2022 world cup

[BobK71]

After the Qatar Vs Ecuador match, we will also see the England vs Iran match, what do you think about this match? Sure, England will win, but will they get a big win against Iran?

England will win against Iran with a score above 2. Saka, Foden and Kane will be players who will make it difficult for Iran's defense to stem the England attack.
Even though I am a England supporter in international tournaments, Iran can also overwhelm the British defense because my assessment of England is not convincing in the defense sector.

In my opinion, when placing bets, it's better not to place large amounts immediately because we don't know how the 32 teams will play.
For the first match, place a small bet first. Well, in the second game and so on, we just plug it in the amount we want.

The first game is a bit difficult to guess but most likely will end up with an Ecuador win or the maximum Qatar can get out of this game is a draw with goals like 2-2 as it is the opener game and since Qatar is the host it is normal for the referee to be about 5% in favor of Qatar,this has been the case always and I still remember Korea 2002 where they were qualified by beating Italy only because this percentage that the referees usually give to the host country.Of course I hope this is not the case here as now we are not in 2002 anymore but in 2022 and things should have changed much for the better.

The only way Qatar will succeed in the game of Ecuador is with the assistance of the referees. However, they will always have a strong fan base backing them as host. I believe I'll wager on Qatar to win. the match between Iran and England. England is going to win by a wide margin. I'll back England to win as well. Iran is not England's footballing ally.

I am very confused about today's betting. Qatar odds 3.70 and Ecuador 2.30 and 3.10 on draw. Here Qatar is a bit weak but can be ahead  in other perspective. Again, Ecuador has a very good performance and they are stranger then Qatar. It is the first game. Hope this kind of situation will not be created in the next games because in the first game everyone tries a little to start betting with a win.

It would be great if Qatar could score two goals and make the game end in a draw, they really don't count to getting points, lack experience in the World Cup, and out of all the Asian teams that played in the World Cup they are the weakest different when Japan and South Korea hosted the World Cup, but hopefully it can happen because my bet on over will go well

The only way Qatar will succeed in the game of Ecuador is with the assistance of the referees. However, they will always have a strong fan base backing them as host.

This is dumb though. Im betting on Qatar tonight aside from all those accusations of the bribe issue, if you actually check the record of Qatar's friendly games for the last 6 months then you would notice that their record is pretty impressive. Most of it are draws but they only lose few games so there is a good chances on either them winning tonight or getting draw against Ecuador

[LGD2Business]

Finally, the World Cup begins. I would normally play for the Ecuador win in the opening game, but I won't be betting on this game because of the rumors. Just in case. Normally, Qatar cannot win, but if the match-fixing rumors have the slightest effect on the match, I will not be comfortable. The interesting thing is that these teams met in a friendly match in 2018 and Qatar won that match. Of course, 4 years have passed since this match, the squads are not the same, the conditions are not the same, the importance of the match is not the same. Best to stay away from this game.

The World Cup is now in front of our eyes, and after some time we will see it. As this year's World Cup is going to be the best in history, all the teams will fight to win this title. Hopefully we will see a great tournament.

[Cookdata]

There would be a lot of matches in this fifa world cup where one can bet. I would avoid the bet on the first match because there is a lot of controversial news spreading around in social media about this match.  The Ecuador team is strong when compare with the Qatar team, but some people are saying that Qatar has already paid the bribe to win this match.

Wrong controversial news I presumed and it may be due to some certain restrictions that has been place on some viewers and fans that are coming for World Cup and it doesn’t make sense with this kind of pay back. Let say Qatar was able to find their way out of FIFA, you think Ecuador would want to give up World Cup trophy to a country who host the World Cup? Qatar is not close to comprising FIFA, they are not the first to host the World Cup and wouldn’t be the last.

In this situation, i am not sure whether to believe this news and it became difficult to place a bet. Let's enjoy this first match without placing any bets

The match will go on a neutral ground, I place my bet and ignore the sentiments and rumors.

[Silence Scream]

Speaking of France, I don't think France will qualify for the round of 16 in this year's world cup, because of the curse that has been believed until now, by many people around the world talking about it.

As an example :

1: Brazil won the World Cup in 2002 (Korea/Japan), did not qualify in the last 16 when the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
2: Italy won the 2006 World Cup (Germany), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
3: Spain won the 2010 World Cup (South Africa), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
4: Germany won the World Cup in 2014 (Brazil), did not qualify for the last 16 at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
5: France won the World Cup in 2018 (Russia), Will France break the curse of the 2022 World Cup this year, from what I have already mentioned??

It is just history and nothing else.
We have had many examples in history when national teams won the World Cup twice in a row, such as Brazil or even earlier Italy.
These are all interesting historical examples, but they will not mean much at this current world cup in Qatar.
The world champion will be the team that is the most prepared and the best, regardless of history.
France belongs to the narrowest circle of favorites for the title of world champion and I expect that they will make it to the knockout phase of the world championship without any problems. Any other result would be a huge surprise.

Should we assume it's true, after what france showed in the league of nations with its declining form. I'm not too sure that Tunisia and Australia are able to smoothly overthrow France in the group D stage, the only tough opponent for France in the group stage is Denmark.
So, I agree with you.
it's just part of the history of several countries that have experienced it regardless of who the opponent was in the group stage at that time. even I assume, France has a chance to defend the title as defending champion. they have a lot of star players there, from the strikers to the line of defence.
Even though France's performance is very bad in the League of Nations, that doesn't mean the curse will be on them.

They may not have taken the nations league games very seriously.  Generally, big teams (such as England, France) played the nations league matches without taking it seriously.  As a result, it started to be talked about that they could do the same thing in the World Cup, while the English league was falling.  I don't think it will.  Both England and France are very strong teams.  We can say that they are aware of the seriousness of the World Cup.  Today I saw a news that Benzema may be injured.  I hope it's not true.  Benzema should be in the France squad.  I have no doubt that we will watch very good matches in the world cup.

[KTChampions]

Yes, I also hope that Qatar will get three defeats in the group stage and finish their performance at this stage. And in the game with Ecuador, I will bet on Ecuador, thanks to all these rumors and the general uncertainty, the odds are very attractive. In the event that my bet does not win, I will complain about corruption and the fixed nature of the game 

In world cups, there are usually surprising results in the first matches. I think Ecuador can close this match with a win. At best, the match will end in a draw. I will play for the win of Qatar because I believe in surprises. Because there are recruited players in Qatar and it is not such a weak team. Let's see who will hold the coupon. Good luck...

Unexpected results happen in any competition, it's just that the World Cup is a rare event, so they are better remembered here. I don’t know anything about the strength of the Qatar national team, and even if I knew it would be difficult for me to compare with another team that is not well known to me - Ecuador, so I bet on the favorite, even taking into account the fact that Ecuador is just a little favorite according to bookmakers.

I agree that the League of Nations is a less important competition, which serves as a good preparation for coaches for major football competitions.
However, France did not play well in the last European Championship either, and there have long been rumors of problems in the relationship between the main players of the team.
As it seems, Benzema will definitely not play for France in this World Cup which will be another handicap for France.
It seems that France is facing a very challenging and difficult World Cup, where they are not the main favorites for the title.

[piebeyb]

For this match i didn't expect Qatar can able to win the match but they should try at least not lose so i might considering to pick draw option for this match

Qatar is the host and it's the opening match so I would probably avoid it, because it could be Qatar surprising even though a lot of people here are making the same prediction that the match will be a draw, but I think avoiding the home game in the opening event is something difficult guess what, wish you luck 

I am avoiding that game for sure. I have heard some many news in the internet about that match. Qatar cannot spend those big big monies to host world cup and come and lose their first match and still Qatar does not have the ability to beat Ecuador. So I leave the match for peace to reign.

Yes, only a few hours until the match starts, I have canceled my bet for the Qatar Vs Ecuador match and moved on to another match, I can't wait to watch this world cup live even though I'm sure the score will be a draw, but I'm afraid Qatar could surprise me for all of us

It seems that many of us prefer not to bet on the first match in this World Cup. I wasn't going to bet at first. But now I've changed my mind a bit. I have made my choice. but sure I'd bet a small bet. because the match between Qatar vs Ecuador became difficult to predict due to the many rumors circulating. but I believe the match will be supportive and fair. The hosts wouldn't do anything stupid to dirty up all their hard work for the sake of being a good host.

It's a shame that news has circulated which in my opinion is not wearing and that has cornered the host Qatar, because with the spread of these rumors it is certain that they will receive something negative. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, I would rather enjoy this opening match. I myself will not bet on the opening match or the first match for the countries that are here. I want to see their form first. But I might change my mind later.

[rahmad2nd]

france will have to play the entire tournament without its world class striker Karim Benzema. the striker from spanish cl-winner real madrid had to stop a running session at the national team's first training session in qatar on saturday because of "stabbing pain".
now the confirmation: an injury to the left thigh ends K. Benzema's dream of the world cup title...

A big loss for France due to the injury suffered by Benzema, after it was confirmed that he had suffered a thigh injury during a training session for the French national team, Benzema was confirmed to miss the 2022 World Cup. Benzema picked up an injury at the wrong time, he failed to live up to his expectations of appearing in the World Cup before retiring, his old age made it no longer possible to appear in the next world cup.

After undergoing examinations on Benzema injury, the results showed that the striker, who won the 2022 Ballon d'Or, had a rectus femoral injury. It is estimated that it will take up to three weeks for the injury recovery period, due to this injury, Benzema dream of appearing in the world cup for the last time has failed.
Benzema is the second player in the French national team to be injured in training ahead of the World Cup. Previously, Christopher Nkunku also experienced the same condition after spraining his foot in a fight for the ball with his teammate Eduardo Camavinga. Maybe Benzema will follow Christopher Nkunku who was sent home earlier due to the injury that happened to him.

Benzema's absence will deal a serious blow to France to retain the championship trophy, and add to the list of names of French stars who are missing this year's world cup in Qatar. without Benzema, it will obviously affect the strength and sharpness that France has. even so, actually France still has another center forward who can replace Karim Benzema, although not as sharp and as good as Karim Benzema. at least, Didier Descamps had a few options to get around this unfortunate circumstance. France still has several forward names that can be relied on, there are still Mbappe, Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and others.

Descamps has several formation options and other strategies, he can pair up two attackers up front, Mbappe can be combined with Giroud, with a 3-4-1-2 formation pattern, or Descamps can just use the formation he normally uses 4-3-3.
it's just that his job this time is not easy, he must ensure and optimize the performance of his troops.

The first game is a bit difficult to guess but most likely will end up with an Ecuador win or the maximum Qatar can get out of this game is a draw with goals like 2-2 as it is the opener game and since Qatar is the host it is normal for the referee to be about 5% in favor of Qatar,this has been the case always and I still remember Korea 2002 where they were qualified by beating Italy only because this percentage that the referees usually give to the host country.Of course I hope this is not the case here as now we are not in 2002 anymore but in 2022 and things should have changed much for the better.

It would be great if Qatar could score two goals and make the game end in a draw, they really don't count to getting points, lack experience in the World Cup, and out of all the Asian teams that played in the World Cup they are the weakest different when Japan and South Korea hosted the World Cup, but hopefully it can happen because my bet on over will go well

I didn't realized Ecuador defensive line was quite strong that they can able to gets 6 consecutive clean sheet so far and this is big challenge for Qatar to scoring goals from them and apparently Ecuador preparation for this world cup isn't too satisfied and Ecuador has been playing against Asian teams such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Japan but i have to say they were displayed poor performance against those teams because Equador has been failed to scoring goals however for this match i feel like there won't be many goals in this match because possibly both of teams will playing carefully

[redsun114]

it's funny to me that this is a big deal, what is alcohol going to bring or add to the world cup ? Absolutely nothing, it probably would reduce some crazy acts from drunk people and that's it, I think it will run just fine in Qatar without alcohol, it won't affect it at all.

at end of the event if someone does any research - they will figure out that this would be far more controlled world cup ever.
The consumption of alcohol at any event be it personal professional - national or international only adds trouble at the end.
Mark my word - this will be one of the most well  behaved football event of the history.

Yes, Qatar is an Islamic country. And the seven studios and big infrastructure that they have built is not possible for any country in the Asian continent. Beer would never be allowed in Muslim-majority countries, which is why Qatar has banned beer inside stadiums. Qatar has organized the World Cup strictly according to Islamic rules and will start according to those rules. Of course these rules are accepted by all and various people come and visit here.

If you are going to host event like this then surely have to accept few things which are going to increase fans confidence and love with this game Qatar's this attempt is surely not going to help them in any way because they are rich and have enough LNG which is going to cover this all cost.

But, things which they have done surely going to have written with black ink because many poor labours lost their lives human rights violations with bribes and many other things happen which were never been in this game just because of their ill mind set if they are banning things like these only publicly still these all happening in hotels and how they are living lives it's all open book but at the end still its good now wait is going to end, and we are going to watch this World Cup after few hours.

Qatar play own venue, they will naturally have some advantages like as they will have favorable weather conditions and will have supporters on the ground. Because of all this, their motivation will increase a lot. But if you follow the players and the quality of the game, Ecuador is much better. And those who do well in the field do not need any more advantages. I deserve Ecuador is the winning team of today's match.

Since Qatar is the host team, they will have an advantage in all aspects. Also, Qatar's players play good football, and since the game is being played at their home ground, they will take advantage of this opportunity. However, Ecuador is a good team and they will want the first match of the World Cup to start with their victory.

[noormcs5]

The world cup will start in about 2 hours from now and i can wait. Every second now seems to be an hour as i can't wait to see the opening ceremony and then the first match which includes the host nation Qatar.

Can anyone tell me which channels around the world would be broadcasting this football event live?

I know it will be shown globally everywhere but i wanted to know the list of channels that will show live action.

[Z-tight]

As it seems, Benzema will definitely not play for France in this World Cup which will be another handicap for France.
It seems that France is facing a very challenging and difficult World Cup, where they are not the main favorites for the title.

I do not feel they are the favorites too, because of the players that are missing because of injury, they have Benzema, Kante, Pogba, Nkunku and Kimpembe all injured and missing from the world cup for France this year, these players are very important players that would have helped the team achieve their goal of winning back to back world cups. I know France isn't a one man team, so they have good replacements for the injured players. With their two strikers out, Giroud is going to be the main striker for France and i feel he is very good for the job. France would prefer to have their injured players available, but they have to move on without them, i still expect France to go very far, but not to the final in my humble opinion.

in the world cup which lasts 4 years no country wants to lose and they all want to win, so everyone has a chance to win and work hard for every match, the hosts will always excel from the support that comes from their supporters of course it will make the spirit more for Qatar to be able to play well

[BlackRexuz]

Can't wait for the opening match of the World Cup in the early hours of the morning, which brings together the hosts QATAR vs ECUADOR. The duel between the two teams will take place at Al Bayt Stadium, Sunday (20/11). The opening ceremony will also take place before this match.

On paper, Ecuador is more favored to win the match. As well as excelling in the FIFA rankings, the South American representative is also more experienced at appearing in World Cup finals, but Qatar will not be beaten easily. The host certainly has the full support of his fans.

Qatar is also one of the teams with the most mature preparation. Al Annabi also benefits from more familiar weather and terrain.
