FIFA 2022 world cup

[UmerIdrees]

This is the end of the road for Qatar, this is probably the first World Cup the underdogs aren’t just sitting around and Qatar the host Is amongst the worst team,

That's the only sad thing that happened today and Qatar is out of the world cup race. Although I know Qatar is a weak team but being a host nation they should have qualified for the round of 16 at least.  Qatar has scored only 1 goal in two of their matches and four goals have been scored against them which is a high percentage.

Qatar has spent so much money in the last few years to develop of the greatest football stadiums. All the facilities seem to be so good but I wished they could spend some money on their football team too. Qatar needs to focus on the 2026 world cup qualification as with this performance they won't be able to qualify for the next world cup.

the brazilian daily 'o globo' reports that Neymar and Danilo will miss the rest of the group stage. Neymar (paris saint-germain), one of the great hopefuls on the way to a sixth world cup title, suffered a ligament injury to his right ankle during the match against serbia, and Danilo (juventus turin), who was playing convincingly in the opener, also has an ankle injury

They are both important players and this is honestly the worst news for the Brazil squad. But I think Brazil will be able to overcome the rest of the group stages without these two players because they have enough players in the world cup at the moment. Even if I believe this is not good news for Brazil, I believe it will not get them in big trouble.

Brazil will play Switzerland and Cameroon in the remaining two matches, without looking down on these two teams, I believe Brazil will still have superior quality. So a victory will not be much in doubt for Brazil, they can do it.

the interesting thing will be (because i expect brazil to reach the eighth finals) if these two players will be 100% fit and healthy again by then, because only then they would help the team to reach the big dream of the sixth world cup

[LUCKMCFLY]

Argentina and Brazil qualified to this world cup without losing a single match. And the South American qualification is extremely tough. It's full of great teams.

That tells you that those 2 squads are at an extremely high level, and there's no chance that either of them will not go to the next round.

For sure Brazil will qualify in the group stage, because in the same way as he participated in all FIFA world cups until today, he also always qualified in the group stage, most of the time in first place.
The last time of Brazil failed to qualify first in the group stage was in the 1982 World Cup, in which Italy took first.

I believe that Brazil was crowned champion in the World Cup, but... in the most pessimistic scenario it should at least reach the semi-final.

Wow, there is no doubt about that, in fact I think that the toughest qualifying rounds in the world are in South America, and my friends from Europe and other continents excuse me, but if they lived through the qualifying rounds as we do, going in a very cold country to a very hot one in less than 1 day, arriving, adapting, the public, all this tires the players a lot, some get sick from such a drastic change in weather, and even so they have to play with everything, that requirement makes the tiredness greater, or even leave Colombia from a hot country from Barranquilla, to go play in La Paz, Bolivia, where breathing fails due to the altitude, I think that these things cannot be told but lived, I do know What is that, and I think that makes these teams stronger to play in a World Cup, Brazil and Argentina are undoubtedly strong candidates for the final.


I have to be quite impartial in the game that is taking place at the moment, and I was expecting more football from England, I see that a Harry Kane who is playing like never before, did not expect Maguire to play so well either and is focused on the England's attack, and although it was somewhat funny because he is not a dribbling player, he threw a cross as best he could, and made a very good move, like the style of the Brazilian players, and the USA is a team that I like, they have a very solid defense, since they started playing they were locked in their defense, now they are more open, obviously they give more space but they are more focused on the attack.

This shows that the MLS are giving and playing great football, because they are playing a great game against the English who have quite a hierarchy.

It's a shame, I saw Neymar Jr's ankle injury, I'm surprised that this type of injury takes so long to heal, I had that same injury years ago, I was in the capital of my country working, and there in 15 days the The solution was to put on a plaster, which I didn't want, so I had to go to where I lived because there is a man who makes the famous "sobas", which consists of that man making you a soba with his hands, it's something like a special massage , the special thing is that there he made 3 movements that hurt me too much (it is a pain that I had never experienced in my life, something that I think is worse than a kick in the genitals, and without exaggeration) then I saw how he I deflated that pimple and rested for only 3 days, I don't know if the specialists master these rudimentary techniques, but they are effective, the Lord sometimes demands x-rays and knows how to read them, he is really very good.

[sovie]

Yep, it is surprising to see Argentina and Germany were beaten and got no points in the first match.
However, it is still the first match, we can't conclude they are weak and may be eliminated in the group stage. I'm sure both Argentina and Germany will struggle to get points in the next match. They may feel nervous in the first match.  

There are a few teams which are creating so much hype that includes.
Saudia
Brazil
Portagal
Argentine
Spain

[Iranus]

But I agree with you that wining this match is very important for USA since they've not won any match since this tournament began, the Match ending in draw also good for England but not good for USA, so it's very understandable why USA must try all they can to score a goal, but like I said previously, they may like loss, I am still cheering for England.

It is very important for USA to win this match. But don't forget England is the strongest team in the group. And winning against England is very difficult. But in today's match USA players are playing very well. They are successfully countering every attack of the England team. At the same time, they continued to try to score from counter-attacks. In 80 minutes, England's players made a total of 5 shots while USA's players made 10. It's easy to see that the USA players continued to try their hardest to win today. They drew the first match. And they need a win today.

[Bitinity]

It was a horrible match for Netherlands. They must be wishing to forget about this match immediately. Because they had literally 2 shots only in the whole match. They must consider themselves lucky about scoring one of these goal attempts at least. I must admit that Gakpo's goal was really impressive. He is already one of the very talented youngsters in European football.

Ecuador deserved to win this match to be honest.

Netherland started the match really well with a fast goal but showed almost nothing after the 1st goal. Ecuador was better team in this match and I have to agree that Ecuador deserved to win. I also think that Ecuador's goal before the break is not offside, I have no idea with the decision by the referee. If it was not disallowed, I believe Ecuador would have won the match.

Valencia scored another goal and made the number of goals scored so far 3 already. Plata also had an amazing shot which hit the goal post.

He is the current top scorer but seems he got an injury in today match. Hopefully it is not a serious injury so he can continue to help his country in the next matches.

[ShowOff]

the interesting thing will be (because i expect brazil to reach the eighth finals) if these two players will be 100% fit and healthy again by then, because only then they would help the team to reach the big dream of the sixth world cup

I see what you mean, and I regret that. Neymar showed off his swollen ankle as he left the pitch after the match, it looked serious on him but I really hope he'll be back soon. I'm not worried about Brazil, they are very convincing.

For today's exciting match, England were really under pressure during the second half and they were unable to up their game. The US has dominated attack and put more pressure on England's defence, but neither team has scored a single goal so far. The game is almost over and I think this fight is really going to end in a draw.

Yea...a very boring draw between England and USA but I suppose none of them wants to risk a lot and 1 point is enough for each. Next game should be a banger tho between Iran and USA as I don't see neither of them backing down from a fight with a slight advantage for USA during the fact that they didn't lost against England.

I'm curious what tomorrow will bring as it's all or nothing for Argentina and Mexic but also most likely for Poland too if somehow Saudi Arabia will win which is kinda probably at this point

Sad for the people of Qatar and there team but good enough for the Netherlands. Its s9mthinh for sure, to uave them spend all those money in getting things ready and yet, make history as the first team to host the World Cup,lose there first game and now, are being kicked out after playing 2 games. I think so far, the vest thing that have happened to the team is that, they got to score a goal.
The Senegalese didn't ho easy on them this time. They knew they had to win and did just that. There mistake though, they started the goal rush which made them come out more and Senegal wasn't going to relent.

[baeva]

Yes, the defender was very seriously injured and immediately after the match he underwent heavy surgery, there were several fractures of the facial bone, such injuries don't happen that often in football, even in hockey... But the referee's decisions were fair, replaying the replays shows offside

Ouch, forget for a moment Argentina who lost to Saudi Arabia because the Brazil vs Serbia match is much more interesting now. Saudi Arabia has never been as brave as Serbia against Brazil so this is not a good game to remember. You will probably notice that Saudi Arabia only won because of luck, there weren't many attempts to score because they were too busy defending.

[coinlocket$]

Only 0-0 between England and the United States and with the victory of Iran over wales.

The United will now have to win against Iran or they will be eliminated from the finals of the World Cup.

So far several games have ended 0-0 but the result of this one was surprising as England was among my top 3 for the World Cup.

It is very disappointing the the host of the world cup did not progress to the second round. This early exist would have a negative impact on the competition because we might start experiencing empty stadiums. This is because most Qatar citizens would loose interest in coming to watch matches because the country is not a football loving one.

I am a bit disappointed that England did not win this match because they are the better team. But they just mange to get three shots on target which is not impressive for a team that has some of the best players in this competition. They now have to wait for their last group match against Wales for their qualification. This result means that all the teams in the group has opportunity to qualify for the next round.

Full Time Netherlands 1-1 Ecuador. They were Shared the point that match.Netherlands leaded 1st half and the scored Level up in 2nd half and finally last time that match ended in draw.But both team played very good football this match aslo.It was tight game.But my prediction was Netherlands will be win in this match.If Equator will not miss the easy opportunity then Ecuador will be win and get full point.

In my opinion, the result of the Netherlands vs Ecuador match is fair. The Dutch are good defensively and in midfield, but they are not sharp at attacker. Ecuador could even have won had their goal in the first half not been disallowed by the referee, but unfortunately it was an invalid goal.

I expect the Netherlands to qualify for the last 16, as well as Senegal who won today against Qatar. I'm not looking down on Ecuador, but maybe they won't win against Senegal in the decider later. However, Ecuador looked better in this match than their first match against Qatar.

I'm sure the Netherlands can advance to the next round because the next opponent is Qatar, which on Dutch paper can easily beat Qatar. but seeing the potential in group A there is still fierce competition from the top 3 teams to advance to the next round. but the chance is 50% already in the hands of the Netherlands and 50% for Senegal and Ecuador. Qatar will automatically be eliminated from the world cup this time because it has lost 2 times. in Group B, seeing the points from the 4 countries there is still a big chance for the 4 teams to qualify for the next round but for Wales they have to be able to beat England in their last match and even then it will be impossible because goal productivity will be counted if Wales can collect 3+1 point. On the other hand, Wales odds will determine Iran result against the United States. But for that England and Iran have a bigger chance to qualify for the round of 16.

[ShowOff]

Next game should be a banger tho between Iran and USA as I don't see neither of them backing down from a fight with a slight advantage for USA during the fact that they didn't lost against England.

Yes, in the end it was a goalless draw, or 0-0. I also know it's a boring match because I expected both teams to score goals, but in fact nothing happened.

I'm curious what tomorrow will bring as it's all or nothing for Argentina and Mexic but also most likely for Poland too if somehow Saudi Arabia will win which is kinda probably at this point 

Argentina will consider the match vs Mexico as a final considering they cannot lose or draw in this match if they want to qualify for the last 16. Poland is also the same, they are very likely to be expected to beat Saudi Arabia. Poland will qualify if they are able to win the match vs Saudi Arabia and lose to Argentina. But the main scenario is that Argentina must win those 2 matches.

The United will now have to win against Iran or they will be eliminated from the finals of the World Cup.

So far several games have ended 0-0 but the result of this one was surprising as England was among my top 3 for the World Cup.

Wayne Hennessey's red card really made Wales have to be willing to lose points in this match because indeed with this red card it was clear that Iran was very favored and 2 goals in extra time were clearly the decider in this match.
Wales' chance is getting more and more difficult and even classified as impossible. I think now with conditions like this because it's really very difficult for them to win in the last match, especially since their points are still quite difficult with the number of productivity goals now.

And they need a win today.

This is another proof that there are no easy gamers for anyone. Al these teams have improved a lot as soccer became more and more international. I would still have thought that England is going to win it.

USA is still in a great position to make it to the next round. They have in their own hands as they are going to meet. There is still some action in the group. But for Wales it is looking bad as the goal difference is decisive and even if they win again England, they would have to win four goals difference, which is not very realistic

[MAAManda]

We saw an interesting match in the England Vs USA match, unlike many people's expectations, in the match against England, USA performed very well, there were lots of opportunities they created. Even though there were no goals scored in this match, overall at least it wasn't as boring as the Qatar vs Senegal match.

With this result, England remains in first place in the group and USA has 2 points, which means they must win over Iran in the third match to ensure they enter the next round.

[JeromeTash]

Only 0-0 between England and the United States and with the victory of Iran over wales.

The United will now have to win against Iran or they will be eliminated from the finals of the World Cup.

Basically all the teams in the Groups still have a chance of going through.

So far several games have ended 0-0 but the result of this one was surprising as England was among my top 3 for the World Cup.

England will always disappoint when you don't expect them to... hahaha

Speaking of England, why are Phil Foden and Trent Alexander Arnold not given any play time at all? I thought that in such matches, they could be brought in to change the dynamic of the game if plan A hasn't worked.

[trendcoin]

The USA national team showed a very strong team image against England tonight. I'm already starting to wonder about the game that will be played between the USA and Iran. I think the USA will be the favourites, but Iran played a very good game against Wales. That's why I think the quality of the match will be high...

It's actually early to speak but in Group B, England will probably beat Wales in their next match and finish the group as the leader. However, it's hard to predict which team will come in second place in the group. I think the USA are a better team, but a draw will be enough for Iran to go to the next round. I'm very undecided, I can't make a strong prediction about which team will win the match, but I think the match between the USA and Iran will be a really good and exciting match.

[Issa56]

This is the end of the road for Qatar, this is probably the first World Cup the underdogs aren’t just sitting around and Qatar the host Is amongst the worst team, after a lost to the Reigning African nations cup champions Senegal.

Right from beginning I knew that Qatar won't go far in the world cup, they are the host but they are not a strong team and nothing can be done about it, they lost their last two matches which I also knew they will lose and I still believe they are still going to lose their next match against Netherlands. I don't think Qatar can compete with any country in their group.

England will always disappoint when you don't expect them to... hahaha

It's just kind of suprising how England couldn't win USA in today's match, I was expecting straight win from England and not to draw, am sure lot's of people will definitely lose their bets in today's match because everyone believe that England is going to win, when it comes to football USA is not a strong country.
