FIFA 2022 world cup

[Pulsar77]

We watched two kinds of teams that played with the ball very dominantly today. One of them was Germany and the other one was Spain.

Germany had everything under control especially in the first half. But when it comes to their finishing skills, they were able to score only once. After keeping their 1-0 lead for a long time Japan saw an opportunity there in the second half. They played bravely and achieved a great success for themselves.

On the other hand, Spain also had a huge dominance about ball possession just as Germany. However they were very effective in making use of their dangerous attacks at the same time. This must be like one of their most productive matches in the recent times - 7 shots on goal and all of them concluded with goals. It was like a trailer of what Spain are capable of in this tournament.

I don't understand why a player of the class of Alphonso Davies could fail to convert the penalty opportunity given by the referee into a goal for Canada,

You could say almost the same thing for Poland as R. Lewandowski also directed his penalty shoot, right into the hands of the goalkeeper even when these two knew what it meant for there country. The truth remains that, its a very tensed moment for all the players on the pitch and most especially the player that is given that burden of giving theee nation that goal to set them ahead. Am sure they would have wished differently after not converting those shoots.

Also, we would try to remember that, there is an eleventh player on the pitch and that player is the goalkeeper. They've got to be making there marks in the games they feature in don't you think? That includes moments of the penalty shoots and that means, making those saves.

Most German fans expected a straight winning for the team since history is already favorable to Germany, but then this year's world cup is different from the others and full of unexpected game outcomes, but since we are at the group stage we may be seeing a new development in the next stage of the world cup when the bigger teams will start facing each other.

seems like many big team will be out soon. I don't know how Messi is feeling after losing the game from Saudia Arabia.
What a joy Saudis give to their nation and what a shock Argentina gave to their fans. Now Saudia which was not in the early discussion  is the hot favourite team of the world cup too

Germany did play well if we are being honest; the chances were difficult to convert because Germany played major parts of the game without a striker. Haverts is not a striker, i do not understand why coaches continue to use him in that position. Also football is a game of chances; Japan took their chances, defended well and got the 3 points deservedly

Spain won a simple match. Together with England, the only team that really made an impression. Weird things happen at the World Cup, like Germany's defeat. But 4 years ago the group stage was also the final station for Germany, maybe that will be the case again this year. Spain seems to me to be stronger than Germany at the moment, and then Germany might no longer be able to qualify. Canadag missed a penalty against Belgium, and Belgium led 1-0 1 minute before the break. No goals have yet been scored in the 2nd half, but the Belgians are by no means convincing.

Japan did play very well and Saudia surprised us all
Its BEL and CAN playing  but the game is not that thrilling. The way Saudis and Argentia played yesterday was amazing. They were fast and quick in attacking.
Hope Messi is doing well. This is said to be his last world cup!

Some teams have become really strong in this World Cup.Like yesterday we saw the game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia where the most powerful name Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia.Again today I saw that Japan beat Germany.Like in yesterday's match no one believed that Saudi Arabia would win and in today's match no one believed that Japan would win. But whatever one says is strong only when one can win a tough fight. All the teams that won the World Cup this year are really strong.

what a surprize Saudia Arabia and Japan gave to the world. I think Saudis are well calmatized with the Qatar weather too.
But the celebration in Saudia and UAE is still going on. The Saudi gov have given a day off in celebration of the win.
What a day for Saudis and Japanese.

I doubt they'll win their next game with 2 good players out of the game. They have one in the hospital and another one with a sprain or something.
Saudi Arabia showed their best in that match but I  just don't see them coming out of the group and the weather isn't going to play a part at all.

That wining over Argentina by the Saudis is really a big shock to the Argentines entirely, even with the early penalty that was awarded to them, It couldn't help matters. I still believe that the Lionel Messi side will have the opportunity to qualify from the group stage.

 So as a lesson, let them know that there's no small team in this this year's world cup compition , unlike before where we usually have big teams dealt with the small teams.

You are right but did you notice Saudi goalkeeper did so well in the match - I was thinking about MEssi too and I am looking fwd to see Ronaldo on the field too
What surprize Ronaldo is going to bring to us. I wish his team wins and don't give us shock like Saudis did to Argentina

[boltz]

Belgium looks shaky but they leave the impression that they could score out of nowhere anytime they want and I'm curious how they will perform with Lukaku on the pitch because tonight they are kinda fortunate to beat Canada by 1-0, during the fact that Canada had a missing penalty but also 3 clear chances to score besides that  .

Looking at Croatia and Marocco , neither of them will have an easy game against Canada and I could see them beating both of them and moving out of group F with Belgium alongside.

But we hope and expect for more surprises
Argentina attempt at the goal was so much but the Saudi goalkeeper did an amazing job.
But I think the joy Saudi gave to many muslim countries is worth million and you are very right in mentioning that there is no small team.

Now Belgium are in the lead by 1-0 against Canada. However Canada's missing that penalty was a turning point for Belgium as well. I'm still not very confident about Belgium until they make it 2-0.

Canada should have scored more than a goal in that first half even after that poorly played penalty, the goal keeper for Belgium is very experienced and has just been good and Canada have not been good scoring when they have had their opportunity. They will regret it if the game finishes and they are not winners. If they let Belgium score again, it will be demoralizing for them because of how more impossible it will look win this game.

Even after 90 minutes, Canada could not score. They are playing very well. I thought the Canada team was weak. But their gameplay really impressed me today. They played very well. Canada's players have been able to attack a lot. But Canada's players felt helpless against Belgium's experienced defender and goalkeeper Courtois. I would say Belgium will win this match due to the performances of Courtois and Alderweireld. These two players played superbly today. And saved Belgium from a couple of sure goals

very boring game it is between Canada and Belgium
After watching great game between Argentina and Saudia and JApan and Germany - this seems very boring

I don't understand why a player of the class of Alphonso Davies could fail to convert the penalty opportunity given by the referee into a goal for Canada, maybe his mentality as a Canadian player is very different from when he played for Bayern Munich. In this second half maybe we won't see any additional goals or at least there will be 1 additional goal from Belgium, there will be no more chance for Canada to rise. What do you think?

Missing penalties is a natural thing, even many other star players who fail to do so when their team needs a win. So I won't think too much about the reasons why a player misses a penalty in one match.

Belgium was lucky in the end because Canada failed to take advantage of its opportunity to excel through a penalty. Belgium turned 1-0 up until the end of the match thanks to Michy Batshuayi's goal at the end of the first half. Canada played well with a few chances, but sadly they weren't really put to good use at the end of the match. Canada's defeat today made Belgium lead Group F with 3 points, while Croatia, who played a draw, is in second place.

Let's see if Canada is able to perform well in their next matches with Crosia and Morocco - they were not able to score even one goal in their match with Belgium but their goalkeeper did very well in today's match
But it was a slow game. Best to luck to Canada for their upcoming match

It is true that Germany has no solid number 9 in this world cup. They are depending on midfielders at this stages and they need to change their tactics. It is really tough situation for Germany and they have to think again and again for qualifying for next round. They need to win their next 2 matches to secure their position.

Even the greatest footballers of all time like Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, etc all missed penalties, no player is sure of converting a penalty everytime, some score more times than they miss, but there must come a time that they won't score, and it is normal. Davies didn't score because the goalkeeper guessed the right way and made the save, it has nothing to do with his mentality, he isn't a penalty specialist, i don't even think he has taken so many in his career, he does not take penalties for Bayern Munich too. There were no additional goals in the match by the way, Batshuayi's 44th minute strike was what separated the teams when the referee blew his final whistle.

[Marykeller]

Although I'm very disappointed with the German team's performance at this year's World Cup, I think that Japan played well and deserved to win. Japanese team played a very disciplined game, with excellent teamwork and solid defense. Germany dominated possession, especially in the first half, and had more shots on target, but Japan showed greater creativity and flair in the second half, which ultimately led to their win. I don't think it was a case of the Germans being flat or not playing to their potential. They just weren't as good as they could have been. It was a case of the Germans being outplayed by an opponent that knew what they were doing and played to their strengths. Japan's defense was also very good, and their goalkeeper made some excellent saves to keep Germany off the scoresheet.

Germany deserved to win compared to Japan, but I think Germany squandered too many chances and underestimated Japan a bit. I agree Germany created a lot of chances but their finishing was unlucky regardless of the reasons. Almost the same as Argentina, but Germany looks worse in my opinion.

But don't worry, Argentina and Germany both have a chance to win their next two matches in the group stage. The problem is they have to win it, they have to avoid defeats and draws in the next 2 matches to ensure they qualify for the round of 16. It will really be hard to imagine how these two big teams will fight in the next 2 matches, but really their every match will be a final from now on.

The World Cup has only just started, but we have already seen surprising results as weaker teams disgrace stronger ones. As time goes on, stunning results will continue to be revealed. But you never know, which country will take home the world cup.

Germany lost to Japan as a result of a poor tactical substitution. Even though the game is still in progress, you change to Muller and take out Gundogan. A poor substitution that the Germans coach won't have done

[MAAManda]

You could say almost the same thing for Poland as R. Lewandowski also directed his penalty shoot, right into the hands of the goalkeeper even when these two knew what it meant for there country.

Well, like that roughly. BTW, the Belgium Vs Canada match ended with a score of 1 - 0, no other goals after the goal from Batshuayi at the end of the first half, I was lucky because I chose the bet for under 2 goals. This is in line with my prediction in the previous post:

In this second half maybe we won't see any additional goals or at least there will be 1 additional goal from Belgium, there will be no more chance for Canada to rise.

For tomorrow's matches we will see 4 matches, Switzerland Vs Cameroon, Uruguay Vs South Korea, Portugal Vs Ghana and Brazil Vs Serbia. I think the Switzerland Vs Cameroon match will be a tough match, while for the other 3 matches, I don't think we need to discuss who will be the winner, LOL.

Am not very much of a R. Lukaku fan but he would have performed the more bettee than Michy Batshuayi who I think wasn't in form today. He missed a lot of opportunities by simply wasting more time to take the shot, puts it off target, get deflected or couldn't even control the ball at all. He might have scored the winning goal on the end but, he wasn't in form on that pitch. Kevin De Bruyne should be trying some solo move, i didn't see much of that from him today.

very boring game it is between Canada and Belgium

It clearly wasn't that boring for me. The Canadians posed an interesting challenge and in many ways, performed more than the Belgium team but, express have got its part in a game and I think that's what helped Belgium sail through the Canadians today.
