FIFA 2022 world cup

[MoonOfLife]

When Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia I thought they would not make the top 16. But I was wrong. Argentina not only managed to find their game, but also showed us some beautiful football. Scaloni's team rehabilitated after the defeat in the first match and went into the play-offs in first place, while Poland beat Mexico on goal difference. I was betting on Mexico making the play-offs, but I was wrong, my bet didn't pay off.

Even so, Argentina still finds it difficult to find the best pattern for their game regardless of who the opponent is, I think the coach really needs to change his strategy and line-up in the play-offs if he doesn't want to have trouble. Their next opponent was Australia, during the group stage Australia always won narrowly and always used a tight defensive strategy. But I think Argentina will still excel in this fight.
Mexico has always been superior to Poland, yes, but this is football, sometimes the luck factor for a country is always there and it still accompanies Poland.

Argentina team is not what we used to know, there are no much quality in the team anymore.  If not for Messi who is playing with his last strength and carrying the team and De Maria and also the number 9 striker. The midfield and defence is not solid as before. Argentina may go further in this world cup but they are not the candidates of the finals. I don't think we will watch Messi finals this year.

Which team do you think will qualify for the final? I would say Argentina has the potential to qualify for the finals. It is true that Messi is the main player of Argentina's team. But the team is not completely dependent on Messi. Messi didn't score or assist in the last match, but Argentina still won. Their performance and match strategy was good. Despite not having many star players in the defense and midfield, they have played very well in the last two matches due to the good bonding between the players. I think Argentina will win easily in the round of 16 and quarter-finals.

I also thought that Argentina and Mexico would qualify from group C, but since the defeat against Saudi Arabia everyone doubted that Argentina would qualify but Argentina really paid for the defeat by getting better in the next match, finally Poland, which qualified from group C, accompanied Argentina. to the knockout round, argentina will meet Australia in the knockout round, i think argentina can miss the game later by beating australia 

In the first match, Argentina suffered defeat but I have no doubt that they will be able to qualify from the group, and it has been proven, now they are still the favorites to win the Qatar World Cup.
and meeting Australia in the knockout stage I think is a little profitable for them because in terms of the quality of the team they should be able to win.

what was profitable was poland because even though they lost they still qualified in the group because Saudi Arabia failed to win in the match against Mexico.
while Mexico, which won a narrow victory over Saudi Arabia, could not qualify because of the productivity of their goals, they lost to Poland.
This Group C is very fierce and interesting.

I think that Argentina is a favorite, but this championship has shown that many of the teams are quite evenly performing. They have their weak moments, some teams more than others, but still they all have them to some degree. I am not only referring to the results only, but also to phases during a game. Argentina against Poland was very one-sided. Now when they win their game against Australia and I expect the Netherlands to win their game against USA, we will have the first exciting meeting between two very strong teams where the little details will already decide over win and defeat. Although I feel like I am a little bit early, already talking about the next step. Argentina vs. Australia is hard to believe that Argentina will give that game away, but USA might be a stronger opponent for the Netherlands than I might expect at first glance.

I was concerned about Saudi Arabia after their hype of defeating Argentina in the first group stage match, and they end up at the bottom of the group table with only three points from the first match.
Mexico, on the other hand, tried their hardest to get three points from Saudi Arabia, but the goal difference gave Poland an advantage even after losing to Argentina in the last group-stage stage match. This is particularly painful because Mexico could have qualified if they had scored more goals against Saudi Arabia yesterday.

Saudi Arabia never played good football after there first win in this World cup. There win over Argentina was a big success but they forget that they need to win at least 2 games to qualify for the next round. While Argentina worked hard after there first defeat and now from group C they have qualified for next round along with Poland.
What s performance Wojciech Szczęsny is showing here. He saved two penalties and one was of Messi.

Argentina, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil are clearly the favorites in this world cup games. And the finals will definitely be between one of this teams. But who knows, some other teams have proven their mettle and have shown that anything can happen in this tournament.

[Ttelas]

Lionel Messi is the first player ever to have two penalties saved in the World Cup🤭                                                        
                                                                                                             Argentina qualify to the next round 16 of the world as the group leaders beating Poland successful.                                  I can't wait for Morocco to qualify because Morocco have the highest chance to qualify.

Alas, they have already completed everything and the teams of Saudi Arabia and Mexico are going home, so we continue to watch the performance of Argentina and Poland who reached the round of 16 from Group C.

[Shaha98]

Very sad news for Saudi Arabia as if they could have won against Mexico they would have had a chance to go to the second round.  But due to the loss of Saudi Arabia, their number of points was reduced to 3 points.  And Mexico's point number four is one of the two teams that couldn't go up.  Here was a great opportunity for Saudi Arabia which they missed.  If they had won, they would have gone to the second round.

Overall the Argentine team in this world cup has looked really solid. I say this because in the match with Poland I saw Argentina had more possession of the ball and attacked regularly until it produced a good result, namely the victory. So the Argentina national team in this world cup is a team that is very calculated and also really solid as a champion candidate, although I also can't predict whether Argentina will make it to the final or not.

I watched that game I felt sad to see Saudi Arabia continue to struggle in the first half to score goals but the defense from Mexico was so strong that in the first half, at the start of the second half mexico took chances to score at the start of the second half, at that time Saudi Arabia's game started to falter because Mexico's points automatically increased by 3 until Mexico added another goal to two blanks, the onslaught of Mexican players almost half the field of play until Saudi Arabia had the opportunity to score a goal in the final minutes of extra time in the second half to eliminate both teams for qualified in the group stage into the last 16

In the next game they will meet Australia and it should be a not a difficult task for them. Then things are getting interesting.
I assume France will win with Poland and they will meet England in the next phase, so it will be like a 'small final', can't wait to see both teams together.

Today we gonna see Germany (I think they will win with Costa Rica) but I am not sure about the result of Croata-Belgium match. I think it will not be an easy one for Belgium.

When Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia I thought they would not make the top 16. But I was wrong.

After Argentina's first match against Saudi Arabia, I kept hoping for them because I knew they had the team to beat the other teams in the group, so when they beat Mexico and Poland, I wasn't surprised because I knew Messi and his teammates would not play with their qualification to the next round of the competition.

Argentina not only managed to find their game, but also showed us some beautiful football. Scaloni's team rehabilitated after the defeat in the first match and went into the play-offs in first place, while Poland beat Mexico on goal difference.

This is particularly painful because Mexico could have qualified if they had scored more goals against Saudi Arabia yesterday.

At least, Saudi Arabia have tried their best in this world cup. beating Argentina, is a great achievement for the Arab national team.  although in the end, they had to be eliminated without being able to advance to the next round. I think the coaches and players realized that before the world cup was held, but they still participated and enlivened this tournament and worked as hard as possible.

I don't think we need to be concerned about their national team, just giving the highest possible appreciation is enough for their struggle. Likewise with Mexico, their failure to qualify for the next round, we still have to respect.
in the end, Argentina was able to ensure passage to the next round phase along with Poland.  this is football, sometimes the matches don't match the statistics they have. Nevertheless, I am happy with the Argentinian squad to qualify for the next round, as well as Poland.

The biggest moment for Saudi Arabia in this world cup is that they beat Argentina with Messi. Other than that, they had no chance of leaving the group anyway. If you notice, either European or South American countries were successful in the World Cup. There is no country from Africa or Asia that is the champion. Saudi Arabia is a backward country in football and comes from the Asian continent, otherwise there are better quality countries in Europe as football, but they could not come because they were stuck in the quota. For example, there is no Italy. For Saudi Arabia, the dream is over.

Nothing can be expected from Saudi Arabia. After picking up three points from Argentina they were unable to maintain their form, two defeats forcing them to the bottom of the table. Elimination of Mexico was more tragic than Saudi Arabia, only because of goal difference they could not spread their wings to the next round. Poland has the advantage in Group C, even though they lost to Argentina they have the right to go to the knockout round because their goal difference is better than Mexico.

[PawGo]

Nevertheless, I am happy with the Argentinian squad to qualify for the next round, as well as Poland.

The difference is that Poland played awful football, while Argentina showed their true skills. I really regret Mexico did not qualify, as they showed much better show. On the other hand what we have after years are just a numbers and results. Both Mexico and Saudi Arabia had chances to leave the group, for Mexico it was just more difficult. But honestly speaking the cascade of rules (game result, goals, number yellow cards etc) makes all sooooo complicated.

On that day, Saudi Arabia beat Argentina because of their good luck and wrong decisions by the referee.  Legal action is being taken against the referee due to this incident.  Argentina scored a couple of goals but the referee disqualified them for offside . But this incident could not keep Argentina down . They played very well in the next two matches.

Argentina proved that they are among the strongest teams in this fifa by winning yesterday and no one can question their credibility from just one match in which the lost against Saudia Arabia. 
I was expecting more performances from Saudia Arabia but unfortunately they didn't perform after the first match and are out of the world cup.
Mexico didn't perform good in this world cup and that's why they didn't make it to next round.

Pulisic took a knee to the abdomen/groin area when scoring in yesterday's match. He did get up and finish the 1st half but did not return after halftime. He officially was listed as a groin injury, and it has not been determined whether he will play in the game vs Netherlands yet. The US does depend heavily on his abilities, but if they can manage the good defense and get 1 score they have a shot to beat the Netherlands.

on every side (front, center, and back) the Netherlands are almost without gaps, they are very tough. if US only rely on Pulisic then I doubt US can win from them. US is the underdog team in this round of 16,, I agree with you, if US wants to have a chance then they have to strengthen their defense, that's the only strategy they have to do.

****
I just didn't expect Saudi Arabia to play with such bad statistics, because with Saudi Arabia being able to beat Argentina in the first match, at least that could be a big motivation for Saudi Arabia to be able to win in the last match against Mexico.
But for the statistical records of Poland v Argentina, I don't think it's anything surprising because after all, before that I was very sure that Poland really had no chance of winning and tended to just hang on and it happened.

looking at the statistical data on the Arab vs Mexico match,, the difference in the strength of the two teams is very clear! actually, Mexico deserves to advance as the runner-up of GROUP C, but Poland is luckier. in the last 16 rounds Poland will face France and Argentina will face Australia.

I expect all South American teams to pass
there football is not only a sport, but also a religion and a way of life of its own
moreover, all poor children start playing when they are small, hoping to become good and rich

Mexico had a lot of desires, it's just that Saudi Arabia is now playing better football than it was a few years ago. Yes, all the teams in this group had chances, and perhaps Poland did not play the best way, but they are in the playoffs and this is a good result. Perhaps France was lucky that it was Poland who became their rivals, because France is very unstable and Mexico would have a better chance of defeating them.

~snip~

All other teams still have chances and can still qualify depending on the results in their final group matches.

Congratulations, I'm feeling good. I favor Brazil to enter the final. But in the round of 16 they will meet the runner up who won Group H it seems. I hope that Portugal will continue to win, and end up in first place in Group H. For the Runer Up to rank two in Group H, everyone still has a chance, but it seems that South Korea is quite small because they have to compete against Portugal at the end of the Group H match.
