FIFA 2022 world cup

Argentina could have won this game easier if they made an extra effort. They actually played quite decently but it was still enough for only a win by one goal. Australia were even near equalizing the score as they missed a huge chance in the last moments. Maybe a more capable team wouldn't waste that easily.

Yes indeed, Argentina actually plays with more pressure and also dominates. However, they missed many opportunities to shoot goals and were even caught in the offside trap 3 times. But on the other hand, the point is that victory is in their hands. Messi has contributed very well. Next, they will face the Netherlands who also have solidity and compactness. Their team maybe not too strong, not as strong as Argentina. However, they are able to maximize every effort at every opportunity. They are also able to play more solidly and sometimes press so that it confuses the opponent. However, I don't know what the outcome will be whether Argentina is able to excel again or not.

I believe it will be an interesting match between Argentina x Netherlands.
Although I think that Argentina is a dangerous team and can win this game, but on the other hand, Netherlands is a solid and a good team and I have no doubt that Netherlands can bring more danger to the argentine team.

Undoubtedly, the favorite in this match is the Netherlands. A renowned and powerful team is the Netherlands. But there is no reason to think the USA team is weak. The USA did not lose any match in the group stage. One win and two draws. They conceded only one goal in three matches. They played very well. Also in this world cup, we are seeing relatively weaker teams defeating big teams. So it is very difficult to predict which team will win this match. The Netherlands is more likely to win. But Team USA has plenty of potentials. My prediction is that the match will be a 1-1 draw in the first 90 minutes.

The match is happening live at Khalifa International Stadium and the two teams are doing their best. The USA team looks better in the first ten minutes of this match. But the Netherlands team just got the first goal through Memphis Depay. But I am sure the USA team would respond accordingly. The recovery of Christian Pulisic is indeed a good boast to the team. The goal have really affected the US team's performance but I am sure the coach knows what to do. I am supporting the USA team.  

Well, in this game many things were put into context, both for the USA and for the Netherlands, here the USA is a country that got into the Round of 16 in a great way, many teams that are in the Round of 16 will have a lot to prove, until the At the moment, what I am seeing is that some countries can surprise the biggest ones, like the case of Portugal, they must be careful because Switzerland is a dangerous team, they can play very well in the most decisive moments, this is something that they must take into account Above all, I think that the best players should not leave, as in the case of Bruno, or CR7, Pepe, Joao Félix, they all must do many things and not leave even after 90 minutes.

I don't know if you have noticed, but every time they take CR7 out to rest, they score a goal for Portugal.

Switzerland's Akanji reveals how he plans to stop 'goal machine' Ronaldo in Portugal World Cup last-16 showdown

WHAT HAPPENED? Switzerland's 3-2 win over Serbia meant they finished second in Group G and set up a round of 16 clash against Portugal. Akanji and co. will face the legendary Ronaldo, who will almost certainly lead the line for his country, and the Swiss centre-back has revealed his plan to stop him.

Well, the truth is that I think this is one of the things that the Swiss have the most, they believe that being very close to CR7 can stop him. The truth is I don't blame them, it may work for them, but CR7 is very slippery, he is a player who can be on top of it. next to you for 2 seconds, if you turn around or get distracted, in 1 second he is 4 steps away from you, that's how this football legend moves, the one who can take it and not let it go could be Usain Bolt, but another player I really doubt it, it's a football genius, it's like trying to score Messi, the only way I see they can stop him is to be scored by 2 or 3 players, and while they do that, a Bruno can score a goal.

It was a really difficult game for the United States today against the Netherlands who happen to have been very ruthless attacking wise and also have a good defense. USA managed to pull one back in a three one score tonight. USA have had quite an interesting outing this year one I am proud of, they faced a much stronger side today but were not scared to show what their quality even against a tough opponent.

[JoyMarsha]

Putting luck aside, Argentina is a better team than the Australian team in this match. Australia regained momentum after scoring the game's first goal, but Argentina was very strong in defense and was prepared to win the match. They also have more experienced players than the Australian team, which gives them a competitive advantage. Despite Australia's efforts, there must be a winner in this match, and Argentina has taken the lead in this one.

Argentina played outstanding soccer during this World Cup tournament. All three of their victories over Mexico, Poland, and Australia during the world cup were thrilling. I'm not sure if they lost on purpose or not, but I can't understand how they lost their opening game to Saudi Arabia. Having said that, Argentina's players are ready for the world cup to reach the finals.

The second half of Argentina vs. Australia game was really tense. Who would have known the outcome of the game if Australia had scored in the last seconds given how difficult it was for Argentina to handle the second half?

USA has got more ball possession in the match but final execution will always be failed and USA can't maximize so many golden chance that already happened unlike netherlands which has lower shots on target compared with USA but the accuracy was even better caused by from 6 shots on target and netherlands was able making three goal against USA.  USA has been working so hard to make goal against netherlands but the defensive strategy by netherlansd  were so strong. It cna't be beaten easily by USA.

It was a very competitive match. I love every bit of it. Australia did play passionately. One of the things I noticed in the game was that their attention was focused so much on Messi that they forgot about Martinez. How do you forget that Messi can also make goal assists. Well good thing the score line was like that of the Netherlands and USA.

[STT]

I can't understand how they lost their opening game to Saudi Arabia.

Jet lag, acclimatization, they are coming from far further away with varied climate.  Lots of good reasons, Saudi Arabia is just around the corner so its nothing to them.  There is some effect in that, anyhow it helps global relations if everyone wins a match I guess.  Helps justify all this giant amount of money spent etc.   Football probably does more for world peace then politics managed in a decade imo

[Captain Corporate]

The Netherlands just dominated completely, I expected a closer game but apparently, their talent was just way too much more. Argentina, on the other hand, had a bit of a harder time if you ask me, they played very well and missed some chances but this was Australia, the fact that they are here is already a big deal for them, they should have dominated even further. Messi played amazingly, he is Messi after all and was expected, but nobody else played at that level. I really do not expect them to be any higher in the ranks, quarter finals will probably be easy for them but then semi finals will be very difficult I am sure.

[Smartvirus]

USA sort of had some chances minutes to the half time, just before the Blind goal. They had not just one but about 3 good chances to create something but they wasted it all, running in circles, kicking it go the goalkeeper and the minute we saw Netherland manage to get the ball away from there halve, the won a throw, built on that right into the box and with a crossed ball to the back, found blind who just placed it right there in the net and pushed the Netherland's advantage to two goals ahead. Weah did good today, I liked his shot 9n goal but, it just wasn't enough to go past the goalkeeper.

They realized that if they didn't do that it would probably be more difficult so they made better initiatives by continuing to play the ball and the results also proved that they could score goals to reduce the gap even though in the end a goal from Dumfries made their hopes dashed. But in this case we know there has been a rapid upswing for USA soccer as the years have progressed.

Match by match we are approaching the end and the level of excitement is increasing. Actually, favorite teams won today, we did not encounter any surprise results, but finals always evoke different emotions. There were different calculations in the group matches, but the only solution in the final matches will be to win. Of course, there will be teams that want to finish the games in a draw and go to penalty shootouts, but this will also be a very risky choice because the teams that are constantly defending will always give positions and one or more of those positions can be score. Anyway, I think the final stage will be more exciting and I think I'm starting to feel this excitement already.

[LGD2Business]

I don't know, I also want Argentina to advance, but they didn't play a very dominant game against Australia. Although teams like Australia play tighter defense. Argentina will not see such a defense when playing with teams like the Netherlands and Brazil. Still, I haven't seen a performance from Argentina to win the cup yet. Players other than Messi should do the best they can. I'm happy to be of the generation that watches Messi, the man is in his 1000th game and he has incredible goals/assist stats. He's undisputed the best football player in history. I want them to win the trophy but their job is not easy. Let's not forget, though, that this is a tournament. You don't have to be dominant in every match, you just have to score one more goal than the opponent. I hope things always go well for Argentina.

Yep, that's right, for today there were no significant surprises because indeed most of the predictions were correct because indeed the Netherlands and Argentina were definitely favored in this match so it was not wrong for them to win properly.
But tomorrow is a little different because even though England and France are superior, Pondia and Senegal clearly cannot be considered easy now.

In the Australia vs Argentina game there was actually a chance for Australia to end up winning.

But in the end the more skilled Argentina ended up taking the victory.

Such a devastating moment for Australia, they put it all in and with just one mistake they have to go home. It could have been a historical match.

[borovichok]

I think I like what I saw from this Holland set up, they are well prepared,I think the country are very desperate to win the world cup you can tell by how they hire two previous coach in the same coaching crew, Van Gail and Blind senior are ex Netherlands coach and they are join by kluvert, and the players are playing very good, over the years, Netherlands has always have good attacking players,but I think this generation they are more good players at the back, Van Dirk,Ake,timber, even players like Deligt and vrij are on the bench. I think they are can reach the semi final.

It was a disappointing day for Asian football fans, as one of the most promising teams (Australia) bowed out of the tournament. But they have a good fight to Argentina. The first quarter-final match is going to be between Argentina and Netherlands at Lusail stadium. And despite the loss yesterday, Australia once again showcased the growing competence of the Asian teams. I am disappointed that they couldn't score a goal (the only one for Australia came from an own goal by Enzo Fernández of Argentina). Today we have France vs Poland, and England vs Senegal.

Australia has been showing the best performance against argentina. Argentina is far stronger than australia. Argentina might win with 2-0 if enzo will not make own goal. The domination by argentina in this match is too big. The ball possession by argentina and shot on targets have been proving if argentina is much more better compared with australia. Im glad to see australia has been using all of what already owned by it in this match. France can win easily against poland. Poland didn't look good at all.
I bet england over senegal in the today's match

Argentina gave a really great performance in the match. Argentina players played very well in this match and I saw that they had a feeling of victory even before they entered the field. Argentina won this match by 2 goals. However, Argentina won, so I am very happy.  .

Well, actually, Argentina had a very difficult game, if Messi hadn't been in the Argentine team I think they would have lost, I don't see Argentina very well, almost, Australia was about to tie the game, it's because the striker who he grabbed the ball to hit it, he was not malicious enough to throw the ball low, otherwise it would have been a goal, in which case I'm happy for Argentina, I think that this time many people won the bets, and in turn in the same key They have to play with Brazil, of course, if Brazil wins its games and advances, it's all about how this World Cup can be focused, I think that there can be an Argentina vs. Portugal Final, and if so, it gets very emotional.

Good and Messi can not leave any opportunity to thank his fans:

Lionel Messi described Argentina’s relationship with their fans as “something beautiful” after they beat Australia 2-1 to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.

Messi marked his 1,000th senior appearance with the opening goal and Julian Alvarez put them in control by making it 2-0 early in the second half.

Craig Goodwin’s deflected shot gave Australia a lifeline, but Argentina held firm in front of their army of fans, who heavily outnumbered Australia’s supporters and created an electric atmosphere at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

It only remains to wait, but what remains is very good, the fight in these quarterfinals is approaching the semifinals.

[Sarah Azhari]

How happy Messi make the team win and able to the next eight rounds. He is one person that looks busy picking up the ball from back to front. It's not wrong if he comes as Man of the match, but we have not forgotten the role of goal keeper, Emiliano Martinez. He is a person who save a ball in last minute, if he wasn't there maybe we can see an extended match or penalty shootout

Yes, even though the Netherlands will play against Argentina in the quarter-finals I personally am very sure that the Netherlands in my opinion have a better chance of winning. It doesn't matter how motivated Argentina is because they have Messi and in fact, the odds currently available at least show that Argentina is still the team that is projected to win.
But I don't care, because I think the Netherlands are better at scoring goals, unlike Argentina who often get stuck in scoring goals. Even though Argentina has good gameplay, that doesn't guarantee that it's easy for them to score goals.

Indeed, there is no definite guarantee because these two teams have the same quality, and also the hype about Messi who will give Argentina the title at this last opportunity. But for me it still doesn't make me confident to choose Argentina as the winner, but even so I also realize that the chance for Argentina to qualify is still high.
But for some reason, I'm still confident that the Netherlands, because not many have considered being able to go further in this World Cup, is like a strong booster for the Netherlands to be able to prove their quality.
