FIFA 2022 world cup

[BIT-BENDER]

The Belgium so called Golden team are out of the World Cup group stage, I think I would take side with Kevin De bruyne, the Belgian players played like bunch of tired legs although the tournament, they played like a team that were forced into the competition I am not surprised that they are out this early, it would have not made any sense for them if they had qualified anyways.

Big congratulations to the Moroccan team they not only qualified but they came out as the group leaders for their group, I believe this was a big win for the Moroccan football team and Africa in general.

[bitpotter]

It seems that Spain and Germany will qualify for the play-offs, they have each scored 1 goal against their opponents. There is nothing to comment on spain, they have been doing very well since the last game. I am here observing the development of Germany which is starting to rise from its slump, playing Leroy Sane from the start is one of the solutions to strengthen the attack.

[Oshosondy]

If Japan ties and germane wins Germany can still break out.  The next tie break would be goals scored.  They would need to pump a couple more in but based on the first 30 or so minutes it looks as though germane should win this contest with ease.  My guess would be they score 2-3 more goals the way they are pressing.

That is true, even before today's match, Japan scored 2 goals while Germany has scored 2 goals too. Germany is leading by 1 goal already, making Germany to be leading by goal but also by 1 point.

[BRINIRHA]

Spain completely dominated the game and managed to score 1 goal. the temporary score for the Japan vs Spain match is 0-1 over Spain's advantage. Actually the advantage of Spain is a natural thing. but will Japan return to bring miracles like when against Germany. but the spanish attack pattern is really extraordinary. but when Japan gets the ball, I think the Japanese attack becomes dangerous because Japan has speed. but in Japanese body posture clearly lost. so Japan has a little trouble getting opportunities.

We won't see any more miracles here guys, Spain absolutely controlled the match with 86% possession, while on the other side, Japan only had 14%. Japan also doesn't have a single shot on goal. With this result, we'll absolutely see Spain in first place in Group E standings. About predictions, what are your predictions for this match? Will it be a big win for Spain? or will Spain only make 1 additional goal?

Luis Enrique's match strategy is excellent. He is capable of defeating any team with his amazing match strategy. Spain took the lead in just 11 minutes of the match with Alvaro Morata's goal. And now they are not giving the Japanese players any chance to create an attack. Instead of attacking and scoring goals, Spain's players now aim to keep possession of the ball. And this they are doing very well. Since Spain keep the defense tight and then keep possession, they will not concede a goal unless they are extremely unlucky.

and the temporary position in the first half for the Japan vs Spain match has not changed, namely 0-1 with the advantage of Spain. and in the first round, Japan looks little by little out of the pressure of Spain. so that the Japanese almost got some opportunities. This reminds me a bit of the game against Germany. where in the second half Japan gave a big surprise.

[execijutiere]

The first half of both matches ended 0-1. If the matches end like this, Germany will qualify for the last 16. Both teams are already playing in a dominant way. We can say that both Germany and Spain do not even give their opponents a chance. Germany has to win the match for sure. Spain can also win for Germany. Let's see, the second half will be more exciting. I wonder if Spain will continue this pressure.

[Lida93]

Belgium didn't qualify for the last 16. They announced a problem within the team a few days ago. This problem was still there. They had trouble finding goals. Mertens and lukaku, with their missed chances, in a way made this draw possible. So Morocco and Croatia are out of this group. I don't think anyone could have imagined that Morocco would come out of this group as the leader. This result might have been a surprise for Morocco too.

Belgium had all the opportunities and chances needed to win the game against Croatia today but they failed from converting their channces at different points of the game. A player like lukaku should know better how critical and crucial the result of the game would be for them.
Coming in from the bench in the second half of the game he was supposed to be like a savior of the day for the belguim team but he was rather disappointing them with serial mistakes in the box of the Croatians.

Congratulations to Croatia and Morocco for their victory to the next round for me was expected especially for Morocco judging from how they played from their first match of the competition. And convince the won't just stop at round of 16 but would make it through beyond that.

[BitcoinAccepted]

An easy game for Germany, but 1-0 is still a dangerous position somewhere. We've seen things go horribly wrong against Japan. Japan is of course better than Costa Rica. And they also have help from Spain who are also in favor at the moment. If Japan wins this match, they will be through to the next round anyway. In the case of a draw in the Spain - Japan match, the goal difference is the point, which is currently still in favor of Japan. Japan will often lie awake from the defeat they suffered against Costa Rica the previous game. But if you look at the quality of the teams, Germany and Spain should both go through to the next round.

I expect the second half of the Spain game to change a bit.  Japan is definitely going to apply pressure.  They need to be careful the Spanish counter attack is overwhelming.  Can't wait to watch this one out, at the very least this game will be an entertaining end not so sure about the Costa rica/Germany game.

[Furious 7]

The quality of the players here makes this a bit of a difference between Canada and Morocco because basically if you look at the composition of the Moroccan players now, they are strengthened by several players who do play in quite big leagues such as the EPL, Bundesliga and other big leagues, moreover they also still have some big names like Hakimi and Ziyech whose names are already well-known enough to make it difficult to make a gap in this matter.
The match will soon be over but there are still no additional goals created so far.

Morocco has pretty good quality players at the moment, although they don't really dominate up to 11 core players, some of whom play in the EPL and the Bundesliga, so they are used to pressure and are able to keep up with Canada's resistance. Meanwhile, John Herdman's team does not have the same quality when compared to Morocco. Hakim Ziyech really deserved to advance to the knockout round as the winner of Group F, because he played quite well in this match and was also able to suppress Canada's movements so that the midfield did not develop.

While Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri performed quite brilliantly in this match, Sofyan Amrabat became a mentor in maintaining the rhythm of the game, while Achraf Hakimi successfully guarded the defense with Inpresensive.

They were more defensive in the second half and Canada started to dominate but this didn't change anything.
On the other hand, actually for the top position in the group, I felt this was a surprise because there were Belgium and Croatia and I initially thought that they would not qualify because their status was my version of a dark horse but I was wrong about this because in the last 2 matches they did the same thing. very good and it was Belgium who became the clown in this group.

At the moment I am looking at the decisive match in Group D because they also still have the same chance to qualify but this is not very good for Japan now because they are behind and Germany is already 1 goal ahead of Costa Rica.

In this match, namely Germany against Costa Rica. Germany seems to really play with the maximum. And it seems that Costa Rica is having a hard time getting opportunities. but of course in the second half sometimes things change a lot. so that Germany still cannot be said to be in a safe position. so Germany must be able to maintain their game to continue to suppress Costa Rica and dominate the game until the end.

[Mr.right85]

Half-time:
Croatia 0-0 Belgium
✂

the most worstly offside i have ever seen was at the croatia - belgium game, where this scene caused a penalty for croatia to be blown for var...
you can now look for which part of the croatian player's body should be here on the offside

They apparently did bring out this image for analysis and I wondered why? The Croatian used in this analysis seemed very much on to me but there was another player just up ahead. Yeah, this particular player got the ball but the player up ahead was offside and he trued contesting for the ball as well.
Anyway, they've got all the technology and a team of referees on and off the pitch to not make mistakes here. If they are in agreement, we've got no choice but to follow the referees decision.

Germany has been on the prowl against Costa Rica,  so many chances on the box before the first half whistle went but they've only managed one goal. Hope we would be seeing more goals in this second half.

I don't think anyone could have imagined that Morocco would come out of this group as the leader. This result might have been a surprise for Morocco too.

What an unfortunate moment for Belgium (both the teams and supporters), 3 matches and scored 1 goal only, yes it is a big trouble for a team which is currently standing in 2nd position of FIFA ranking.
They have many great players who are playing in world class football club but they played like they have no motivation to win World Cup.
I believe most people predicted that they will be the group winner but the fact shows that they do not even qualify for the knock out round and they have to go home earlier.
On the other group, Germany is now trying hard to win with bigger goal difference and also relying that Japan will be defeated by Spain.

Yes Spain should have won without conceding as you say, if they actually keep a similar pattern as half time. In the second half I hope that Spain will continue to dominate the ball possession, so that Japan can't find gaps that can turn things around. Anyway, Spain is the favorite team with a strong squad that is able to survive until the end of the match. If there any surprise from Japan that can make this match a draw 1-1, I'm sure Spain will be able to scored again and get the win.

German have huge pressure on first half and not any different scheme games play last match when draw with Spain, actually have advantage with Germany position lead 1-0 from Costa Rica because other match Spain win from Japan. If the score lasts until the end of the match it is certain that Germany will qualify for the last 16 as runners up.

Costa Rica also performed quite well in the first half, several counter-attacking chances were able to trouble Nuer and one important save made the score 1-0 last in the first half. Second half seemed very interesting for the two national teams because they both had the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 if they won.

[Avirunes]

Japan are really pressing well and that is what gave them the first goal. Poor goalkeeping from Unai Simon. Another goal came in now in quick succession but that sure looked out of play. There will be lot of controversy on the second goal. Japan pulling quite some surprise in group stage huh..

Edit: Now Costa Rica equalised with Germany.

[Bananington]

At the moment, Spain and Germany are both ahead.

Big problem for Germany because the Japanese team have now equalized and scored another goal against Spain, very surprising, I wonder what their coach told them in the halftime break. Costa Rica as well have just scored an equalizing goal, Germany has been wasteful with the many opportunities they had in the first half, Costa Rica started this second half more confident, and it has paid off.

[Dickiy]

So far, everything is going well for Germany, Gnabry scored in the 10th minute and Germany is in full control of the game, Costa Rica is running on the field without the ball.

You can tell from the way that Germany started that they know that a good win against Costa Rica is the only option they have. They need more than a goal in this game to ensure their place as second in Group E. Jamal Musiala so far has been the man of the match, with more inclusions in play than any other German, It is only a matter of time before he scores too. Sane and Gnabry who scored has also been good.

Yes, victory is everything in this match, Germany cannot draw here again, even though now the first half has finished 1-0 there is still a chance for Costa Rica to reply in the second half, I think Muller and his friends have to score again so they can decided the expectations of the Costa Rican players.


I was surprised that Japan turned things around to 2-1 through Ao Tanaka in 52 minutes. Can Japan qualify for the last 16 with Argentina and others?

Now Spain has to play extra because they are one goal behind from Japan.

[hyudien]

When Spain underestimated Japan game, which actually played like a spartan, the results would reverse. Here Spain too thinks Japan is not a balanced opponent but unfortunately they are wrong about that. The reverse position that the young Spanish players should consider has not been able to feel like they have won before the final minutes. Japan has a fighter mentality while Spain plays for beauty. I know this is a boomerang for Spain, if we see several times the goalkeeper tries to play the ball in the penalty box to lure the Japanese players.

Spain must be careful with Japan's comeback because for now it can't be safe if Japan continues to press its defense.

[eaLiTy]

Looks like another surprise in store, Japan just stunned me after the first half by scoring two quick goals as i have no idea what Japan took during the break as Spain was completely dominating the match in the first half  . I am watching the Spain Japan match and will watch the Germany match later as i am not having great expectation after their loss against Japan earlier in the tournament.

Edit: Damn, Japan won the match against Spain.

Costa Rica as well have just scored an equalizing goal, Germany has been wasteful with the many opportunities they had in the first half, Costa Rica started this second half more confident, and it has paid off.

It seemed their hopes were now getting more difficult.
Costa Rica leveled with Germany and Japan is on a good streak by scoring the second goal. This is really exciting I'm confused about which match to watch in this case because both of these matches are really very exciting.
I really like Japan's performance in this match, it will be great if they manage to win and win the group because it will be very surprising
