FIFA 2022 world cup

[rendravolt]

In less than 3 hours, the play off match between Japan and Croatia will begin. Japan was so stunning they looked so extraordinary in the world cup this time, especially the goals scored from quite difficult angles. On the other hand, Croatia is playing quite well even though Luka Modric is already 37 years old but he still has strong stamina in this very intensive match. I predict a draw in this match and hope there will be extra time to make the match more exciting.

I think that Japan is a good team, but don't get carried away by them beating Spain. In that game Spain probably never wanted to win because then they would probably face Brazil in the quarters. Of course that no one from Spain will admit it but I really think that they could have beat Japan if they wanted to. Because of that (and the fact that I'm Croatian ) I think that Croatia will win in today's game. Maybe Croatia is not as big favorite as France and England were yesterday but I think they are a better team than Japan.

As for Brazil vs. South Korea game, there's not much to say. Brazil is probably too strong for South Korea and I really don't see how they could lose today's game.

It is obvious that Brazil is not even on the same league as South Korea, in fact it is even weird for them to face at this stage, would have expected South Korea to not go above group stages to be fair, but it has happened so we have to watch the game.

I guess that it would be a big domination, and yeah they are missing Jesus, but there is a chance Neymar could come back and even if he doesn't, they could miss Neymar and Jesus together and would still be doing fine. I am going to bet on 2.5+ goals, lets see what will happen but if there are 3 goals total in the game then I would win the bet, just to bet on Brazil doesn't give good return.

Today two Asian teams Japan and Korea will play their matches. Japan has more chance to win than Korea because Croatia is still an easier opponent than Brazil. I don't mean Croatia is weak but Brazil is at higher level. In addition, if Japan meets Brazil, they will have higher probability to lose than Korea.

Because the tactic, formation and techniques of Japan players are like copy versions from Brazil players. But Japan is at lower level and with similar style, chance to lose for Japan would be bigger.

With Croatia, Japan can play counter attacking and wait for some non focusing minutes from Croatia. Japan can beat Croatia just like how they won Germany and Spain with some goals within few minutes.

Japan strength in the 2022 World Cup cannot be underestimated. Japan has given a big surprise when they beat Germany and Spain to qualify from the group stage. Amazingly, Japan can always come back to reverse the situation. Japan are eager to repeat their success against Germany and Spain, a win over Croatia could send them into the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time in their history.

Japan must be wary of the surprises that Croatia can give, even though they qualify for the play-offs as runners-up, Croatia will be a formidable opponent for Japan. The defense needs to be defended by Hajime Moriyasu in the match vs Croatia, because in the group stage they have conceded three goals.

You see, it looks like there will be interesting surprises in the match this time. I wouldn't say this match was even, but I don't see Croatia going easy on winning this game even though on top of that they are actually better than Japan.
Luca Modric is indeed old, but he can still provide something that is needed by the team. We'll be seeing them in action in a few hours.
I agree with you that there is a chance this game will go to overtime. Who from these two countries will follow the Netherlands, Argentina, France and England to the quarter-finals.

It is impossible to predict whether Japan will lose its match against Croatia. I'd want to congratulate them on their world cup performance thus far. defeating the major teams that we had doubted they could.

Is highly spirited team versus a very good and experienced team. My take on the Match I think it is going to end up in favour of  the experienced team. Croatia team has been together for the past six to eight years with the best midfield in this competition. Players such as Luca Modrich, Mateo Kovačić of Chelsea, and the midfield maestro Marcelo Brozović of Inter Milan. I think they have the tools to overrun Japan.

if we were to judge these world cup matches based on the team that has been together for years and the level of players they have. Belgium wouldn't have lost any of their matches. Despite being professionals and a well-organized group of players from major teams, the Belgian players did not proceed to the round of 16. These world cup matches are full of big surprises

I wouldn't be surprised that the game between Japan and Croatia goes to extra time. Croatia tends to struggle against opponents that are mostly focused on defense. I expect Croatia to hold the ball and Japan to attack trough counter attacks. I made a bet that Brazil and Spain will win their matches but I don't dare to put money on Croatia. The odds are similar (around 2.05 on Croatia winning and 2.03 on Spain and Brazil winning) so I think there is more chance with a bet on Brazil and Spain.

From the two sides of the Asian team, South Korea will face more difficult against Brazil while Japan and Croatia, which incidentally can be balanced after I saw how Japan before in the preliminary round could beat Germany and Spain but this is an Asian team struggle with other heavy teams more difficult than what was predicted before but I want the Asian team to go even further even though later they will meet Brazil is Japan, I see from their abilities Japan has made a good contribution to the players who continue to play impressively and in this round they will play the same as before .

[dataispower]

Did you also consider the age of this players. The Croatia players are older than the Japan players and that is why the Japan players are faster and they cam return to help the defence when needed. This the only fair fixture I have seen in the knockout stage of the World Cup. Croatia vs Japan is a far fixture.

The matches in the round of 16 were determined by the results that were in each group and that was clearly completely fair because it was impossible to engineer it in such a way. And I think the match between Croatia vs Japan is a match that will look exciting even though the Croatian team will probably try to have more possession of the ball from the start.

Of course their meeting in this round is based on their results in the group stages. His Croats have more experience, but Japan came with more motivation and they have very high speed. This match will be interesting because both countries have their respective advantages.
In the other match between Brazil vs South Korea, it will be a match that places Brazil as the favourite. How could it not be, Brazil has a luxurious squad of both their core players and players who sit on the bench.

Croatia is not the team they were four years ago although they are more experienced, its not going to be an easy for for them because Japan is a highly motivated side thanks to their win over Spain and Germany. They actually topped a group with Spain and Germany. That's one for the history books. Croatia are the favorite but I think Japan will have the upper hand in this fixture. The match will be more interesting that the Brazil vs S. Korea match I think . Brazil are definitely winning that one but i would really love to see an upset.

If Japan do not play good and won, it will not be a surprise, Japan won Spain and Germany in the group stage, but failed to win Costa Rica and lost instead, that alone makes their match to be more unpredictable. As for this match, I think it will not lead to extra time, that one country would have won before 90 minutes play, but I do not know which exact club that would be. The better match to just go for today is Brazil which will likely win South Korea. I have no good reason to have a favorite country to win this cup, but to look for the ones that will give me a winning bet.

[LGD2Business]

A lot of people want to see the South Korea - Japan quarter-finals, but of course neither team is the favorite in their respective Round of 16 matches. Japan still has some chance, but South Korea has a tough job. Playing against Brazil is not easy. Moreover, they will play against a Brazil who has shown that they are the favorites of the cup with their performance. South Korea has only beaten Brazil once before, and that was years ago. They were unsuccessful in the World Cup against South American teams. South Korea has weak defense, they will face a tough test against the Brazilian attackers. Brazil has rotated in their last match in the group stage and their main players will play with a rest. I don't expect any surprises in this game. But as I said, Japan might make a surprise.

[Gosgosking]

Brazil vs South Korea.

South Korea have been good in their games this world cup and today South Korea will be meeting Brazil.  Brazil is known to be that strong team that does not lose match, it will a win for Brazil  today. Brazil is better than South Korea in performance.

If there is a draw, then 0-0, I don't think that Croatia will give Japan many chances. Croatia did not even allow Belgium to score a very necessary goal, and Japan seems to be a weaker team than Belgium. I'm actually expecting Croatia to win in regular time, but to be sure, I bet that Croatia will qualify (whether on penalties or not).

I also think Croatia is not a team that looks superior in this world cup actually, Japan will be a difficult opponent for Croatia it seems, I also bet that this match will be a draw and will end in a penalty shootout to get a ticket to advance to the next round of the semi-finals, I don't know why I prefer Japan this time

Brazil vs South Korea.

South Korea have been good in their games this world cup and today South Korea will be meeting Brazil.  Brazil is known to be that strong team that does not lose match, it will a win for Brazil  today. Brazil is better than South Korea in performance.

Of course Brazil has a much better team than South Korea. In terms of players, games and all things Brazil is one step ahead compared to South Korea. It wouldn't be strange if many put Brazil as the betting team, because of that quality. But South Korea can surprise at any time, and also keep in mind, this World Cup has a lot of surprises.

Croatia is no longer like four years ago where they looked so stunning plus their players are considered to be of a mature age whereas now most of the Croatian players are of course against Japan which in fact they can be said to have the current golden generation, so it is very difficult for Croatia to keep up. Discussing Japan's meeting with Brazil, we'll have to wait and see after these 2 matches are over, considering that it's very difficult to determine now that both of them have the same chance with a strong game.

Japan strength in the 2022 World Cup cannot be underestimated. Japan has given a big surprise when they beat Germany and Spain to qualify from the group stage. Amazingly, Japan can always come back to reverse the situation. Japan are eager to repeat their success against Germany and Spain, a win over Croatia could send them into the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time in their history.

The defense needs to be defended by Hajime Moriyasu in the match vs Croatia, because in the group stage they have conceded three goals.

The great performance from Japan cannot be separated from the important figure of Hajime Moriyasu, I am not very familiar with this coach but what he gave for Japan was extraordinary. He seems to have a good instinct when to change players and when the opportunity will appear and then it will score a goal. I hope he gives good formations, strategies and instructions in this match, especially against Croatia is also not easy.

You see, it looks like there will be interesting surprises in the match this time. I wouldn't say this match was even, but I don't see Croatia going easy on winning this game even though on top of that they are actually better than Japan.

I agree with you that there is a chance this game will go to overtime. Who from these two countries will follow the Netherlands, Argentina, France and England to the quarter-finals.

Yes, if you look at the previous matches from each of these countries, it is almost impossible who will win in 90 minutes, therefore there is the possibility of extra time and even penalty shoot-outs that could occur in this match. Regardless of who will follow to the quarter-finals, everything will be difficult because their opponents are getting stronger.

Yeah and now only 2 hours left until the start of the match. between Japan vs Croatia. Both of these teams have their advantages. Like Croatia with a strong defense. and Japan with fast attack patterns. However, we don't know what strategy the two teams will use in the match. Because in the round of 16 now, of course all teams will give their all to the maximum. Many underestimated Japan in the qualifying round. But apparently Japan was able to qualify for the last 16 with full of surprises. because beating Germany and spain in the qualifying group is a great achievement. and if now Japan is able to beat Croatia then I think it will make Japan a team to be reckoned with. I admire a Japanese player named Takefusa Kubo a little. I hope he plays in this match. and I also admire Luka Modric and Marcelo from Croatia. I don't know which team is superior. I will not support any team in this match. but betting on japan is a bit of an interest to me.

[CageMabok]

Of course their meeting in this round is based on their results in the group stages. His Croats have more experience, but Japan came with more motivation and they have very high speed. This match will be interesting because both countries have their respective advantages.

The speed of the Japanese players will obviously make the Croatian players a little overwhelmed in bringing out their potential or tactics today so I imagine that the match will be very exciting even though I don't imagine that Japan will win the match because Croatia itself will try to defend itself so as not to fall right away. in round 16.

In the other match between Brazil vs South Korea, it will be a match that places Brazil as the favourite. How could it not be, Brazil has a luxurious squad of both their core players and players who sit on the bench.

The Brazil vs South Korea match will be a good party for Brazil because besides the Brazilian national team which has a great squad with a sprinkling of stars in it, the South Korean national team itself is also not a national team that has the same strength as Brazil so that's what makes Brazil not be so pressured at match with South Korea in today.

I see 30% percent of the vote going for Germany in the poll the OP did in this thread. Brazil has 32% where Brazil is 2% ahead of the voting given to Germany, now this is great hope for the choice of the bitcointalk community and hopefully Brazil can reach the final and become a champion. In today match we will see the Brazil vs South Korea match which will be a comeback for Neymar after suffering an injury in the previous game. Neymar return made Brazil aggressive again in today's match. Brazil in the previous match suffered a defeat to Cameroon, in which Brazil was not strengthened by Neymar, but in today match I think Brazil is a good bet choice to their victory.

I know during group stage Croatia only conceded 1 goal in 3 matches but Croatia defensive lines isn't too special i think because Belgium can able to gets several chances to scoring goals but indeed Croatia was lucky at that time because Lukaku was playing poor and for today match Japan obviously underdogs but during this tournament Japan has several times being an underdogs but they can flliped people predictions and qualified to round of 16 but indeed for betting option i do not dare to pick Japan win because Croatia is more good from squad quality but not impossible for this match ended with draw at normal time
