FIFA 2022 world cup

[Rikafip]

Both teams are playing aggressively and they both got many chances to score but failed in that.

Many chances? Buddy, it was one of the most boring games so far, with maybe 1 good chance for each team.

Yeah... To bad for Croatia but they looked like they are scared of speed of the Morocco's players. Defense was pretty OK, but everyone was afraid to attack because what if they lose the ball and Morocco scores from counterattack. And I must say that they (Morocco) are really fast. Now they will probably have to at least look to draw against Belgium in order to qualify for the knockout round.

Honestly, we looked like shit today. At the moments we were so slow and uninterested like we were playing friendly game, even Modric wasn't his usual self and he made a lot of mistakes, but at least he tried something. Morocco is a solid and organized team, no questions about it, but if you are going to be afraid of teams like that, you might as well pack your bags and go home. And if Dalic was afraid of Morocco player's speed and that was the cause for such an approach, what he will do in the next game against Canada that has Alphonso Davies?

Anyway, situation for us got complicated right from the start so now we need to beat next two games to be 100% sure that we move on, but looking what happened to Argentina yesterday and Germany today it could have been even worse as if Morocco beat us, it wouldn't be undeserved.

Japan give a surprises for Germany. Germany is a team that is actually become favorite in this match. however they find it difficult to score goals through organized attacks. The goals scored by Germany are due to a penalty. This is a warning for Hansi Flick and team for their next match against Spain will definitely be more difficult for their defense. if they lose the matches vs spain, it seems they can only depend on the result of Japan vs Costa Rica.

Unbelievable how Germany managed to lose this match? I just talked about how there were enough unexpected results at this World Cup and Germany should win, but Japan got together and did everything to win. Perhaps this is the merit of the coach of the Japanese team, because the game changed just after the substitutions and, by the way, the players who came on as a substitute scored.

Japan made a change in the second half and they managed to score two goals which made Germany have to fall to its knees to lose in front of him this is indeed the second surprise after Argentina lost yesterday and now Germany feel it after being favorited
Even in the previous 3 matches, the results were surprising with draws and all without goals, so many say that the world cup now will be more different.

The next match is Spain vs Costa rica, Belgium vs Canada, will there be any surprises in these two matches? This is interesting but very worrying for the bettors because they will definitely lose again, so the next match will be tense as well as afraid of something similar happening

The coach managed the game properly, contained Germany in the first Half with more defenders, and in the second half brought in attackers to try to run the German defense down which worked perfectly because of the pace that the Japanese team have. I think that the Saudi Arabia stunning win against Argentina has become a motivation to many teams in the same group with other countries ranked higher in football than them. It is becoming more of if Saudi Arabia can do it, we can do it too. Japan had that mindset, and it contributed to their game today. No team should be underrated in this world cup.

[panjul07]

Another surprise in the world cup 2022, who have placed a bet on Japan like me? LOL



I also placed a bet on Costarica to win against Spain, Canada win against Belgium, and South Korea win against Uruguay  
Just did it for fun while hoping to see more surprises in the World Cup this year.
Anyway the result of Germany vs Japan is the same as Argentina vs Saudi Arabia, the favorite teams lead first by a penalty kick in the 1st half but the non-favorite teams made an epic comeback in the 2nd half and took the win.
Which non favorite team will be the next one make a surprise?

Morocco - Croatia match continues 0-0. The game continues at a slow pace. Croatia are slightly superior. But Morocco are making dangerous attacks. Hakim Ziyech, En Nesyri are quality players who can change the score at any moment. It is difficult to predict the outcome of the match. However, there is a high probability that the match will end in a draw.

and it looks like your prediction is right mate

Yeah... To bad for Croatia but they looked like they are scared of speed of the Morocco's players. Defense was pretty OK, but everyone was afraid to attack because what if they lose the ball and Morocco scores from counterattack. And I must say that they (Morocco) are really fast. Now they will probably have to at least look to draw against Belgium in order to qualify for the knockout round.

I see that both Morocco and Croatia are both afraid to attack and prefer to defend. every time Morocco attacks towards Croatia's goal the defense becomes tighter and vice versa when Croatia counterattacks towards Morocco's goal the defense becomes stronger.
but in my opinion Morocco will be superior later when Morocco fights Belgium. sorry if my prediction is wrong

Yesterday Argentina was defeated by Saudi Arabia, now we are entertained again by Germany which also has to be conquered by Japan. It was really unexpected that the national team, which was not seeded, made us shake our heads. This proves that the atmosphere of this year's world cup is quite different and not like last season's cup. So do you think Spain will suffer the same fate as Costa Rica?

Yes, it's true that this year's World Cup looks very strange from last year. several teams that excelled last year lost in this early round, such as Argentina and Germany, which were among the strong teams last year, but now it's the opposite. but from this incident it can be very easy to predict a team's victory. so I think the team that excelled last year will lose this early round (but this is just my opinion)


for spain and costa rica they should be superior to spain (according to last year's predictions) but this year my predictions for spain and costa rica will be a draw

[Dewi Aries]

It's a shame Japan was able to score an equalizer in the 75th minute and in fact, Japan was able to score its second goal in the 83rd minute. Maybe for some people this is still a reasonable result because Japan is also one of the strongest teams from Asia, so it's only natural that Japan can provide strong resistance for Germany.
By the way, I also bet on Germany to win, but this seems to be the wrong choice.

Because I also realized before betting that Japan could not be underestimated at all, but I tried to keep convincing myself that Germany could win.
But yes, in the end the result was something I was worried about and with this choice, at least it was enough to make me regret because before that I also knew that Germany would still not be easy to win.
It was possible, because Germany had been ahead from that first half like they might have felt safe, that finally Japan managed to score two goals in less than 10 minutes.

Yes it's another miracle in the world cup after Argentina now Germany, who is next? just be more careful placing bets
We really don't know the final result even if the favorites teams score first and control the match there is no guarantee they will win
I will focus more on countries from Asia maybe they took advantage of the weather factor.

If Germany loses in the second game then their chances of qualifying for the round 16 are closed and maybe this will be the first history they have failed in the group stage (don't know if this will be the first). Why do I say that Germany will not qualify for the group stage if they lose the second match because it is impossible for Japan to miss the opportunity, making a draw against Costa Rica to make it easier for Japan to enter the round 16.
Disappointed with what Germany was showing, their defense was very easy to penetrate and the front line that couldn't produce goals, replacing Gündoğan was a wrong decision in my opinion and that made it more difficult for them to penetrate the Japanese defense.

It is unimaginable that Japan will win today.  Because Germany is a stronger team but towards the end Japan struggled to score two goals after a hundred attempts.  Just like Argentina with Saudi Arabia because the best team is losing to the normal team.  Because no one ever imagined that such a game would happen like a strange event.

teams from Asian countries are getting better now and shouldn't be underestimated, I think it's possible that one of the Asian countries can reach the semi-finals or the final of the world cup because this is football no one knows because all matches almost show surprises that make people even less want to bet on the world cup again, it's hard to guess and will continue to lose a lot of money in betting

[GiftedMAN]

Germany 1 - 2 Japan
I don't know what's going on with the "favourite teams" in this version of World Cup but it is weird to see such poor performance and creativity against what supposed to be weaker opponents. These underdog teams are exciting and insist to fight and pass to the next level! Much respect.
Few minutes left on that game and Japan is still trying to push and score. The German defence is making silly mistakes sometimes.

There are no underdogs in this world cup apart from the host country Qatar who is yet to surprise bettors because I know that they will shock the world in their second match. The German machines have been beaten by the Japanese squad and the history will remain till the end of time because this year's world cup has produced breathtaking results and it is widely seen that football is no longer played by the number of star players in a team but it is by good performance and utilization of chances created. Kudos to the Japanese team for putting up a beautiful performance in the second half of the game and big thumbs up to Takuma Asano for that beautiful strike that changed the faces of the German players and fans after giving them total dominance in the first half.

Japan already known as a team with so many spirit. People are always picking a big team as their favourite but i think that japan was underrated team in the world cup. Germany got surprised caused by it has the same fate like argentina. I guess people are always underrating the country that didn't popular caused by it was not having popular league. As far as i know even since world cup that already passed if japan can't be underrated as the team from japan was always making the popular country related with football to have a tough game against it.
Japan has proven if asia country can't be underrated.

[LGD2Business]

It was exactly the same as Argentina game. In the first half, Germany took the lead with a penalty goal, but underrated Japan scored two goals and won the match, just like Saudi Arabia. Very interesting indeed. The two favorite teams of the World Cup opened in the same way.
Should this be interpreted as the rise of Asian countries or is it an interesting coincidence? Time will show that. Fortunately, there is compensation for making mistakes in the group matches, but then there will be no chance to make up when it comes to the qualifying rounds. Who knows, maybe a team that lost its first match in the group will become the champion. Now I'm looking forward to the second match of these teams because they no longer have the luxury of making mistakes.
It should be said that both Argentina and Germany didn't play badly, but they should have played much better and seize the opportunities they found.

[Doell]

temporary score Germany vs Japan 1-1. It seems that now Japan is starting to find their game. and put more pressure on the German defences. I was quite surprised that Japan was able to balance the score. Japanese players are superior in speed. but overall the German team is the most superior.

In this game I saw that Japan started playing well after half time. Japan scored 2 goals after half time.  I hope Japan will win this match. But let's see what happens. I'm waiting for the end of the game to see the result of the game. Which team wins the match. But after halftime, Germany started playing badly.  Germany played well early in the game.

Yes mate.
Oh My God. My luck finally came in this match. although I was doubtful at first. but considering the many surprises that occurred in the World Cup this time. Congratulations to the Japanese National Team for beating Germany 2-1. Japan in the second half actually changed strategy and effectively penetrated the German defense to produce 2 goals. congratulations to those who have won the bet.

Fast counterattack Japan really unpredictable in the second half, Ritsu Doan just come in the 71st minute to replace Tanaka he was very lucky to scored. Takuma Asano this guy become a hero for Japan, the score he make it was incredible I didn't expect that. Germany actually from the first half had dominated this match but German national team did not take advantage of their chances very well, apart from Japan strong defense the mentality of the German attackers was not good in this match. By the way congrats for your win, indeed this world cup is really full of surprises.

[rendravolt]

Very similar to yesterday's match between Argentina vs Saudi Arabia. This time Germany scored through a penalty and in the second half immediately reversed the situation by scoring 2 goals from Japan, each scored by R. Doan and T. Asano. With this result, Japan led Group E while with 3 points and Germany had to settle for being at the bottom.

Japan was out played in the first half but we see a huge difference in the second half. I see a lot of self belief and confidence in the Japanese. In the second half Germany tried their best to bring out the defensive line of their opponent but it was difficult. I'd just say, prepare to be blown away in this 2022 world cup. It is no longer business as usual for punters. Two Elite teams have been beaten so far and it makes me so happy. I am super proud of the Japanese side. The coach made the right changes. With determination, any team no matter their history can be beaten with the support of VAR.

Actually I am also very bored if the world cup this time is only dominated by big countries. But luckily everyone can adapt quickly so there are many unexpected surprises like yesterday's and today's matches. Now we cannot underestimate underdog countries in the race for the world cup, all countries have a chance and a strong mentality.

[KTChampions]

What's going on in this competition? The surprises in this world cup is becoming overwhelming. Yesterday was the Saudi's miracle against Argentina and today Japan's wonder against Germany. Germany and Argentina are favorites in this world cup but it is clear now that their advancement to the next round is now uncertain. They would have to win their two next matches for them to be sure of qualifying for the next round. It might be possible that the winner of this world cup would be a lowly rated country because they are showing more courage and determination.

The Japanese technical team did a very good job by attacking the German team aggressively in the second half. They were not intimidated by the quality of players that the German team can boast of, but they took the fight to the German's half. This attacking strategy really paid off. Congratulations to this hard fighting Japanese team.      

Big surprises continue (although it should be noted that Germany is far from being the dominant team that it once was and now it is not included in the group of main favorites). If there are too many of these surprises in the end, then I am sure many (coaches and players and fans) will attribute everything to the unusual time of the tournament, although everyone is on an equal footing and no one seems to get an advantage because of this.

[Oneandpure]

Lest forget with surprised match result between Germany vs Japan and few minutes later watch excited match between Spain vs Costa Rica, its seems excited with Germany beaten by Japan and right now managed first standing position, Spain have to win above 2 goals if want lead as first standing position and give opportunity qualify to next round. I think difficult moment for Germany after beating on first match from Japan and next match have face with Spain and Costa Rica at last match.

Spain have confirmed with starting line and looks used false nine with Assensio as central forward, there are not any real central forward in starting eleven from Spain and most dominance with young player from Gavi, Pedri and Ferran Torres in starting eleven.

If Germany loses in the second game then their chances of qualifying for the round 16 are closed and maybe this will be the first history they have failed in the group stage (don't know if this will be the first). Why do I say that Germany will not qualify for the group stage if they lose the second match because it is impossible for Japan to miss the opportunity, making a draw against Costa Rica to make it easier for Japan to enter the round 16.
Disappointed with what Germany was showing, their defense was very easy to penetrate and the front line that couldn't produce goals, replacing Gündoğan was a wrong decision in my opinion and that made it more difficult for them to penetrate the Japanese defense.

I think it rings dangerous bells for Germany. Because after the World Cup group qualifiers, he played 6 matches in the Nations league matches, 1 win, 4 draw and 1 loss. He is going through a very formless period. Japan had a great advantage with this win. The weakest link of this group is Costa Rica, and most likely the last. I think Germany will beat only Costa Rica and finish the group in 3rd place and be eliminated.
The Japanese goalkeeper dominated the match. While the match was 1-1, German goalkeeper Manuel Neur had a big mistake in his second goal. He saw the goal in his goal from the corner he closed.

Now we cannot underestimate underdog countries in the race for the world cup, all countries have a chance and a strong mentality.

In fact, you can think back to the last World Cup in 2018... Germany then played in the same group as Mexico, South Korea and Sweden... And that time they failed to reach the play-off stage, although they were world champions in 2014... Today's game against Japan showed that they are not very good so far, but there is hope that Germany will improve in the next games...

[Warkop]

It's a shame Japan was able to score an equalizer in the 75th minute and in fact, Japan was able to score its second goal in the 83rd minute. Maybe for some people this is still a reasonable result because Japan is also one of the strongest teams from Asia, so it's only natural that Japan can provide strong resistance for Germany.
By the way, I also bet on Germany to win, but this seems to be the wrong choice.

Because I also realized before betting that Japan could not be underestimated at all, but I tried to keep convincing myself that Germany could win.
But yes, in the end the result was something I was worried about and with this choice, at least it was enough to make me regret because before that I also knew that Germany would still not be easy to win.
It was possible, because Germany had been ahead from that first half like they might have felt safe, that finally Japan managed to score two goals in less than 10 minutes.

Yes it's another miracle in the world cup after Argentina now Germany, who is next? just be more careful placing bets
We really don't know the final result even if the favorites teams score first and control the match there is no guarantee they will win
I will focus more on countries from Asia maybe they took advantage of the weather factor.

The Asian team is doing well in the first round of the World Cup, this is a great achievement, everyone is fixated on big countries and in the end they lose to unseeded countries, this is the point where we can be careful to place bets on big countries  , is often the benchmark for setting bets for that country, and in the end they are trapped by non-seeded, surely all of them have lost in betting tonight, so in essence this can be a lesson for all of us from the Argentina and Germany matches..

[makishart]

temporary score Germany vs Japan 1-1. It seems that now Japan is starting to find their game. and put more pressure on the German defences. I was quite surprised that Japan was able to balance the score. Japanese players are superior in speed. but overall the German team is the most superior.

Takuma asano has become the main key from japan that makes the team can win against german. German was giving a very tough game for japan but glad to see that if takuma asano can make the second goal for japan and let japan to get the full points over german. It seems like so many countries were not having big names in football have been giving so many surprises to beat the big country that can be considered as football house especially from europa.

[rahmad2nd]

When referring to the ball possession owned by Germany, Japan almost had difficulty keeping up with Germany's game. Germany had lots of opportunities, in fact, Germany had 14 total shots, and five shots on target. German opportunities to add goals in the second half, still wide open.

and if Japan doesn't change their formation, I'm sure Japan will get a crushing defeat. the second half has restarted, let's see if Germany can add to their number of goals. or even Japan could steal the opportunity to even the score to 1-1.
I hope that in the second round, Japan will change their formation and be able to provide fierce resistance by appearing all out. I hope Japan can score goals so that the match ends in a draw.

Japan is on the lead now and I think we are heading toward another surprise in this world cup. If japan manages to survive for the next few minutes. this will be another upset.

Yesterday, we saw Argentina losing to Saudia Arab and today Japan will beat Germany. Asian teams are performing well in this world cup perhaps because this world cup is held in Asia  

Previously, I sided with Japan in single bets and the odds that Japan had were quite high. another bet, I chose a draw for this fight, in parlay mode. and this is really beyond my expectations. Japan can turn things around to be a victory for them, wow this is beyond my expectations. even though, I had no hope at all. I wasn't even in the mood to watch the match in the second half.  however, when I saw the final result of the match it surprised me.
even though in the first half, possession of the ball was really controlled by the German squad. world cup this year, what a shock.  as you said, we are heading for another shock in this world cup.

For the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match, this match was very surprising but not like the Germany vs Japan match. because Argentina, previously had very impressive statistics. but Germany, I have predicted it in past posts before this world cup was held.  they were going to have a hard time with their young players, and the prediction came true.

next, Spain vs Costa Rica.
whether this fight will also give us a surprise, let's look forward to it.
