FIFA 2022 world cup

[DanWalker]

I think after looking at the Brackets I can pretty surely say that we are going to have a Europe versus Latin America final.

What I think is that we might have one of Brazil and Argentina in the finals against one of France or Portugal.
In my opinion, France have a better chance of reaching the finals, while Portugal have played inconsistently.

On the other hand, both Brazil and Argentina are playing quite well in my opinion. The good news for Brazil fans is that Neymar has returned to the field after getting injured.
He played very well against South Korea, which is good news for Brazilian fans. I'm really excited about who might be able to go to the finals and who will lift the trophy.

Before the match between Spain and Morocco i really wondered why such ods, it was 1.4 for spain to win and that's really not logic because Spain team is so defferent than before, Morocco players was in high confidence and they did everything to keep the score at draw till the end of the match, when the match goes to penalties i was pretty sure that Morocco will pass to the next round because the players confidence was very high

Even before the game started, Morocco looks more like the favorite to win the game but it was still a surprised considering Spain are world favorite when it comes to football and they dominated that game with all the possession as they're known for. The game at the 90th minutes was just flat and boring, both teams looked tired at the extra time round and that was understandable since we all thought the game will be over at the 90th minute. Morocco showed determination in that game and they didn't just get their qualifications out of luck but earned it.

The hero for the day was the goal keeper, he turned up for the team when they needed him the most. Immediately Spain first penalty taker missed, I knew there was going to be an upset as that has never happened before then the Morocco team were looking more confident and that showed in the 3:0 win at the end of the penalty shootout.

What a qualification for Marocco country! They did an amazing job today against Spain who simply couldn't perform and install their own play style and Marocco knew exactly how to defend for 90 minutes , pushing the game to extra time and then penalties. At penalties...well...we can all agree that Spain has an awful penalty session and Marocco had only 1 goal , shot as strong as you can in that ball and score.

What is wrong with Spain in this World Cup tournament? They performed so well in the first game, scoring 7 goals against Costa Rica. However, after that, Spain's performance was unconvincing. There was disappointment in the fact that Spain drew with Germany and lost to Japan, and as a result, Spain were eliminated in the first knockout round.
In any case, Morocco did well in this match, and they definitely deserved to win.

Spain were trying to dominate and hold possession but Morocco was well organized, they didn't let Spain find spaces, they were defensively good. Spain still believes in traditional slow game just focusing on possession. And Ball Possension should not be the main tactic of a team, Japan proved it to them. What's the purpose of having the ball all the time but cant even register shots. I’m happy for Morocco, they have done us proud and shown the world that they’re a stronger team and not to be underestimated.

[Razmirraz]

During the match Morocco seems very discipline to guard Spain players and almost no mistakes from them which make Spain was hard to created the opportunities to scoring goals besides that Morocco players has showed they have strong mentally than Spain and apparently Spain players looks weren't ready to ended the match with penalty kick even their captain Busquets was failed as penalty taker unfortunately poor records from world cup 2018 was repeated again yesterday and for Morocco finally they can break their records from this tournament and so far quarterfinal were their highest achievement but they had strong opponent on quarterfinal that Portugal seems could be serious contender in this tournament after humiliated Switzerland with huge scores

Morocco implemented a defensive strategy well, the Spanish players had a very difficult time finding gaps into the Moroccan defense area. Spain is superior in terms of ball possession, but very few opportunities are obtained.
Morocco coach Walid Reragui had expected that Spain would play a game with short passes by relying on ball possession, the strategy he implemented went perfectly without a single goal scored against Morocco. A draw at normal time was Morocco target from the start, if Walid Reragui implemented an attacking strategy then Morocco would lose.

I don't know if Morocco has trained hard for the penalty shootout, as far as I can see, Morocco seems very experienced in the last round to determine the winner in a match. After successfully eliminating Spain on penalties, Morocco managed to make a big surprise at the 2022 World Cup and qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time.

what surprised me the most in that match was when I saw the penalty shootout in which the Moroccan players looked more confident than the Spanish players. and the Moroccan win was well deserved not luck. because since the qualifying round Morocco has shown their strength which is to be reckoned with in the world cup this time. And in the next game, Morocco will face a more difficult challenge. because Portugal is one of the favorite national teams in the world cup this time.

You are assuming several things here. First of all, both Brazil and Argentina need to win against their opponents in quarter-final. And given all the upsets we had so far, I would say that nothing is for certain. Brazil is up against Croatia, who have a history of making upsets. Netherlands is one of the best teams from UEFA. And also, how can you assume that France would automatically win against England? France did well so far, but England is no walkover. The QF match between these two teams is perhaps the toughest one in this phase of the world cup.

Days have passed since the start of the qualifiers and Morocco's strength is only growing.  Morocco will continue to perform well in the future as they progress day by day and build on their experience.  Spain could not score a penalty because their strength was different from the experience of the Moroccan players and the speed with which they shot.  The Moroccan players used different experiences to win against Spain.

I agree on most points, but I would swap Portugal for England.

The final in my mind will be Brazil vs France. They both have shown amazing skills in the field and they can score a lot.

England and Portugal are also very good in this tournament, but I think they're just not at the level of the other teams.

And Argentina, yeah, they will advance a bit but not getting into the final in my mind.

And well, who knows, Morocco is still undefeated in the entire world cup, they can manage to go through and win it.

[Sebas.tian]

Portugal played surprisingly well to score 6 against a fairly decent Swiss side. The front 3 and the left and right backs have been massive for the Portuguese national team. I am fairly confident that they should be beating a the Moroccan squad in the quarterfinals. Who themselves have quality players and could cause some concern to Portugal.

Portugal coach really prove to their fans that they are well prepared for this tournament, because they were able to achieved two goals in the first half to gave signal that Switzerland cannot stop them in this FIFA world cup. If Portugal coach can allow cristiano Ronaldo to start the match in the first half, I think they can withstand Morocco in their next match because their opponent is also a strong team that defeated many strong teams in this season. Portugal has more potential players than Morocco just that Morocco are good in penalty shoot out which Portugal will never allow such thing to happen.

Morocco's performance in 2022 is truly admirable and deserves to reach the top level. Yesterday's match between Morocco and Spain went to a tiebreaker after neither side could score at full and extra time. Spain failed to shoot-out there but the Moroccan players did not. Their short in the tiebreaker was worth watching. Spain's goal keeper was completely defeated by the Morocco player last day and i hope Morocco will do better against Portugal in the quarter final.

Morocco was definitely more confident and strong than Spain on feild ,they were all over the field in terms of defense, attack and strike . Ball possesions not work always in real you should know how to strike on your target .
Spain looked like alot of confused, nervous and stressed I think they didn't expect Morocco this strong and tough as an opponent.
Penalty shootout totally worked in favour of Morocco.

[Daltonik]

Yes, a very unexpected result of the Spain-Morocco match, I watched the match and got the impression that Spain simply did not understand how to build a game against the Marocans, but I really enjoyed the Portugal game, I hope they will play just as well against Morocco.

[Z-tight]

Morocco could not score any goal in this game it is really a problem for Morocco team. Morocco wanted to score the match and win the match but due to their laziness they could not win the match. Morocco they won several matches we have seen. They play very good game.

I don't understand your post , Morocco played a very good game against a very tough opponent in Spain, and even if they could not beat Spain during 90 minutes and extra time, they went on to win on penalties and they progressed to the quarter final were they will face Portugal, so i do not understand how not scoring a goal yesterday is a problem for the Moroccan team when they eventually progressed. Morocco were the underdogs against Spain and they showed what they are capable of by winning, how do they then look lazy to you. Even Portugal have to be careful against Morocco, if they underrate them they will probably lose too.

Portugal has a lot of skill and it was a pleasure to watch all those goals.

I think it will be an easy game against Morocco, but then again Spain should have been able to win without issues, yet they ended up losing.

Portugal will probably go all out and try to score early in the game to manage a comfortable winning.

Ronaldo wasn't seen too much in the game, so hopefully we'll see more of him in the next one.

Perfect Matching all Teams played well and also qualify for these matches. I also believe that Portugal played well. I previous match, they won the match by 6 - 1 goals against Switzerland. I think Switzerland also a good team. Of course good news for Brazilian fans, Neymar returned in team this is a great news. I think Brazil will easily win Match by Croatia.

[rendravolt]

Not Cristiano Ronaldo, not Lionel Messi and not Kylian Mbappe, the scorer of the first hat trick in the 2022 world cup was Goncalo Ramos, he started to replace Ronaldo in the match against Switzerland. With an absolute 6-1 win over Switzerland, Portugal's move to the quarter finals is definitely safe and ready to meet Morocco to fight for a ticket to the semifinals.
Goncalo Ramos has been a Benfica player since 2020 until now, but surely people will start to recognize him through this world cup match. Against Morocco, I hope he can start again as a starter with the duo Joao Felix who is so extraordinary with his skill game. For Ronaldo, it's better to stay on the bench because Portugal plays far more optimally when these young players have the freedom to carry out creative attacks and not rely on just one person.

As someone who really doesn't watch much soccer/football, these World Cup tournaments are always really fun to watch.  I also don't understand the game all that much but starting to learn watching these games.  My favorite teams to watch so far are France, Brazil and Argentina.  They all seem to have a decent shot at taking down the tournament.  Still proud of the US for at least doing decent this year lol.  They should be a bit better next time around.

It's awesome that all the games are broadcasted in 4K. Drives me nuts that American NFL football rarely ever broadcasts in 4k.  I know they will eventually but damn, hurry up.

In general, a very good world championship turned out. A lot of goals were scored, a lot of unexpected results, in almost all groups there was intrigue until the end. In general, as a spectator, it is pleasant to watch such a festival of soccer.
I also liked the innovations when they started adding not 1-2 minutes to the half, but 4, 5 and even 10 minutes. Previously, there were fans of lying on the field, squirming with pain and with the final whistle vigorously jumping up and running around the field.
Even VAR with its offside system is no longer annoying, but on the contrary, teams have become more accurate, more professional, there are fewer simulations on the field.

[Pierre 2]

I feel like better teams are going to next rounds all around. Luck isn't something very influencing in this tournament. If this trend goes on Brazil will very likely bring world cup to their home. I don't think Croatia can go to next round. There is huge power difference between them.
I also want to watch Brazil against Portugal soon. Their match can be the most enjoyable match in whole tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo is key player tho.

Isn't that how a team should be, honestly I was wowed with the rotation, seeing Cristiano Ronaldo out

Morroco are brilliant,, we've seen that against Croatia, Spanish side last night, but I'm certain they're not repeating that against Portugal.

Portugal has quality midfielder's to decide the game and fullbacks who joins attack and defends the same, that's how modern football has evolved to, they are winning against Morroco.

Ronaldo is my GOAT but frankly speaking, he offers nothing but less right now, if the tactics last night would be effective against Morocco to defeat them, they should kindly drop him on the bench, It's not about Ronaldo but the team and squad strength should come first.

It was quite surprising to see that Portugal was able to win with a landslide score from Switzerland and it seems that Portugal didn't need to worry when Ronaldo was no longer defending their national team because new talents kept popping up in Portugal. Brazil is a strong team but Croatia can trouble them in this quarter-final if the Croatian defense can keep out the attacks from the Brazilian attackers it is very possible that it will go to extra time but penalties I don't think I can't remember when Brazil faced that.
