FIFA 2022 world cup

[M1cha3lM]

Argentina and Brazil are two very strong teams. I know that. I think we will see a different final game in this World Cup football game. If either Argentina or Brazil can go to the final game, then that team will win the final. And if they go to the final game.  If not, then the new team wins the final game.

You're kidding, only one of them can make it to the finals if they manage to come back victorious in the top 8.
Don't forget that they are currently in the same pot meaning that if Argentina manages to beat the Netherlands and Brazil wins again against Serbia they will meet in the semi-finals later so there will be no final word for these two teams except for one of them.
In another pot, it is also no less exciting because there are France and England who will elbow each other for Portugal and Morocco, it is clear that it is a little more difficult to predict, especially with Morocco's current shocking performance.

Although the Morocco victory was a big upset yesterday I cant see them getting much further especially against Portugal. - I'd reluctantly say that France will beat England, so that means Portgual vs France and again I can see France just pulling ahead in that.

On the other side I can see Argentina vs Netherlands being quite tight but [hopefully] Argentina pull through, with Brazil also beating Croatia [with relative ease]

For the Semi-Finals I can see Brazil beating Argentina [although id like Argentina to win] and then see France advancing aswell.
Final would definitely be close, but can see Brazil winning it!

The point is not that Morocco is a good or bad team, the point is that Spain was a strong team and they are now out of this world cup.

You can see the difference between the two teams by the fact that Spain was the world cup winner in 2010 while Morocco never reached the quarterfinal of any world cup prior to 2022. This is the first time Morocco has managed to reach the quarterfinals and this is a great achievement for them.

That's true. But for a strong team, all Spain players were very bad at the penalty shootout. You can't miss three penalties and advance to the quarters. I don't know how they decided which players will take the penalties, but all of them were very bad at it.

[ShowOff]

The Moroccan vs Spain style of play as planned, they prefer total defense rather than open play. Tiki Taka, which is typical of the Spanish game, can only be contained with total defensive tactics. The Moroccan coach made the right decision by installing defensive tactics, the results were very sweet even though some people didn't like that style. As Mourinho has said before, the result of a match is not determined by how well a team plays, the final result can help the team move on to the next round.

Of course you are right, a win is a win regardless of how you play to win.
Morocco knew that if they played open then Spain would score easily, but by fully defending they could really hope to score on the counter-attack. This strategy has been tested by many other teams when facing Barcelona-style tiki-taka, several teams managed to hold a draw or even win, but not all teams are able to do it perfectly.

There's nothing wrong about Spain, I like their game play but really I don't see them excelling in the World Cup at the moment. I don't even know who can really be a key player in a striker, Spain doesn't have a really dangerous player at the moment as a striker.

Spain was once a strong team, but not in this tournament. If you remember yesterday's game, then even in regular time, Morocco had chances to tip the scales in their favor, while I don't remember dangerous moments from Spain at all. Morocco's tactics were obvious, and probably for professionals it was obvious even before the game. At the same time, Spain came up with exactly zero ways to win this bus. So Morocco were stronger.

[rendravolt]

Argentina and Brazil are very strong football teams, if they win the quarter finals, then these two teams will meet in the semi finals, then either Brazil or Argentina will be eliminated from here, so it is very difficult to predict which team will play in the finals this year. Many predicted that Brazil and Argentina would meet in the final but that is no longer the case as they will face each other in the semi-finals who can progress past the quarter-finals.

Yes, at least if that happens, we can witness these two great countries competing against each other in the semifinals. Neymar and Messi will meet again not as friends but as opponents during the match. It is likely that Brazil will advance to the final round because they have very even players in terms of character to great skills, while Argentina still lacks attack power from the midfield and it all still depends on Messi as the organizer of the attack.

Do people reckon England stand a chance against France?

You shall remember if football was a play from 11 people. It's not only mbappe who will be playing against england. don't you even aware how morocco was able beating spain eventhough many people were expecting spain to win a lot against it?
I think that you shall not underestimate england caused by i know so well that if england is still above france in term of statistic. I think that i will pick england in that match against france. The quality from england already known so well by us.

You are so right about that, in fact, Spain surprised many by losing this match. They were one of the teams that had a chance to win this trophy, but they failed to score for 120 minutes. Morocco was still impressive with its performance even in the group matches.
Now, despite being one of the weakest teams of the tournament, everyone respects them. If they had said a few months ago that there would be such a match result, I wouldn't have believed it

[terrorJR]

Do people reckon England stand a chance against France?

Also do people believe the talk that Mbappe may be injured, and if so do you think this increases England's chances?


Personally, although from England I cant seem to enjoy the football we play, it's just boring. I feel France and Brazil are the 2 teams to beat, however personally I want Argentina to win, just so that Messi gets to lift the World Cup!

There is still a chance, of course, because regardless of their current strength, it can be said that they are comparable.
There are some rumors about Mbappe actually having to be absent from French training when preparing for his performance against England and this is related to the recurrence of the injury that he experienced in the group phase.
But there is still no further confirmation about this, let's hope this is not bad news for France.

[BITCOIN4X]

there are again two new funny cartoons...
one shows K. Mbappe and his very strong performace (with 5 goals, 2 assists and 3x man of the match) and the second one shows the results of the surprise team from morocco and how the whole african continent is happy about the dark horses

I watched this match with friends last night, 99% of them were for Morocco while only a few of my friends were for Spain. Obviously the game didn't go as expected as Spain didn't create many goal chances, it's a shame. But I see 99% of these guys are happy Morocco made it through to the quarter finals in the end even though they had very strong opponents.

Either way dark horse photos are absolutely incredible. They made the perfect leap and became the African representatives currently receiving overwhelming support. I never thought Morocco would be this strong but I think they will soon find themselves weak against Portugal.

That's true. But for a strong team, all Spain players were very bad at the penalty shootout. You can't miss three penalties and advance to the quarters. I don't know how they decided which players will take the penalties, but all of them were very bad at it.

Most coaches and players say penalties are not lucky, they have to train a lot, and also very important is the fact of the emotional.

Clearly Spain was the strongest squad, so many players who are stars on their club, Spain is one of the great teams, already world champion, so I think the emotional of these players are harder to manage.
Morocoo players are more "relaxed" to penalties, they are "supposed" the weaker team and nothing to lose.
Congratulations to them, they played like the best match of their lifes, they deserved it

Against Portugal will be another great match, one tem motivated enough because beat Spain, and another team with huge confidence after 6x1 against Swiss.

Argentina's opponent Netherlands and Brazil's opponent Croatia are both good teams in the quarter finals.  So it is very difficult for Argentina and Brazil to win even in the quarter finals.  Yes, Argentina and Brazil are world famous football teams.  So it's only natural that they can beat the likes of the Netherlands and Croatia.  But anything can happen in sports.  For example, Argentina lost their first match against a team like Saudi Arabia. But if both Argentina and Brazil qualify for the quarter finals then the Argentina vs Brazil match in the semi finals will be a great game.

France has key players that could make difference, mainly Mbappe but also Giroud in front of the goal. England is quite strong and hard to kick them. It is about how fit is the players that day. The difference between the two teams aren't that big. I think France has more advantage.

[Porfirii]

<...> and the second one shows the results of the surprise team from morocco and how the whole african continent is happy about the dark horses

As I said yesterday, I foresaw a match between Spain and Morocco that would make people talk... and what a surprise!

I'm a Spaniard but I feel in part happy for them: they defended really well and forced the penalties, so their victory was well deserved.

In addition, it is positive for a generally ignored continent like Africa to share the illusion of such an important event like the World Cup and feel that they can achieve whatever they want, at least on the field; and more precisely for Morocco for passing to quarters.

If we compare the squads, Argentina and Brazil look set to win against Netherlands and Croatia in the quarter-finals. Argentina and Brazil have strong squads. And they are performing very well in every match. But let us not forget that the Argentina team lost against KSA and Brazil team lost against Cameroon. KSA and Cameroon are very weak teams. Even then, Argentina and Brazil could not defeat these two teams. And so against the Netherlands and Croatia, Argentina and Brazil will lose if their players make any mistakes. So they have to perform very carefully if they want to qualify for the semi-finals.

Portugal with all the advantages of its players will not have too much trouble facing Morocco. I'm sure Portugal is very capable of beating Morocco even though Morocco played defensively such as holding Spain to a draw for 120 minutes.

Portugal's game pattern is much better than Spain's and I don't think Morocco's strategy will be able to survive without conceding. Spain lacked punch in the Moroccan area, but Portugal was clearly different. Portugal have a lot of great strikers, so of course they will benefit.

Many fans believe so (being able to beat Morocco with all the advantages that the Portuguese players have) because Fernando Santos has monitored Morocco's strategy in several matches they have played including the defeat of Spain.

But from another point of view, Morocco also did the same thing to Portugal after they made sure to qualify for the quarter finals. I'm sure the Moroccan coach will make the Portugal vs South Korea match one of the spectacles to see how they play.

For me, even though on paper Portugal is superior to Morocco, Fernando Santos has to be careful with this team who are nicknamed the Lions of Atlas.

[naira]

The storm in front of Morocco is certainly getting bigger, but seeing them playing through the leading national team, I hope Morocco can overcome Portugal. Sounds difficult, but at least they learn from Belgium, Canada, and Spain.

Furthermore, the competition is still interesting and the big teams will prepare for the risks next week. Argentina vs Netherlands will start next week with results that are difficult to predict. Both are quite strong and balanced in my opinion, both the Dutch and Argentine performances will show each other their best strength and step into the top 4.

the elimination of spain did make some fans disappointed with their appearance in the match against morocco. Even though Spain was able to dominate possession of the ball, unfortunately they were unable to break through the defense from Morocco. Indeed, Spain had a little problem on the front lines at the Qatar World Cup because Luis Enrique had difficulty finding pure stickers who had quantity as a goal machine in this World Cup. Luis Enrique has no other choice but to rely on Asensio and Alvaro Morata, even though if you look at these two players in Laliga they are performing as usual and even Asensio has had trouble finding his good performance this season. therefore spain must give birth to potential stars for the future. well, for Morocco, they can be said to be lucky in the match against Spain, because in terms of the quantity of their game, it seems that they are still very difficult when dealing with stronger opponents.

Remember that Spain doesn't have a superstar in its squad, but Portugal has Ronaldo. This is an advantage for Portugal because I think there is always the possibility that some of the Moroccan players will become Ronaldo fans so they will always put him on a lower level.

Morocco will not be able to prevent Portugal from scoring if you really watch Portugal vs Switzerland. So even though Portugal has to be careful, Morocco will lose to Portugal. It is still possible for Morocco to maintain its good performance in defence, but the breaking power of the Portuguese players is much better so I believe the prediction is that Portugal will win easily.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Spanish team played like they are always playing - endless passes and no one to actually score a goal. I'm glad that it costed them because now they will have to change something. Yes, it's nice to see them passing the ball in the center of the field, but you can't win if you don't shoot at the goal. Too bad for some of the older players for which this was probably their last World Cup.

The defense built by Morocco really went perfectly, almost throughout the match they were pressed but they were able to withstand any pressure given by Spain. It's true they won't be able to win because they dominate the game as long as they can't score goals. But they couldn't fix this in this World Cup. They can make up for something that they lacked in this edition because they have a young squad of players they can keep in the future.

The Moroccan vs Spain style of play as planned, they prefer total defense rather than open play. Tiki Taka, which is typical of the Spanish game, can only be contained with total defensive tactics. The Moroccan coach made the right decision by installing defensive tactics, the results were very sweet even though some people didn't like that style. As Mourinho has said before, the result of a match is not determined by how well a team plays, the final result can help the team move on to the next round.

Morocco have only conceded one goal through out this World Cup, that’s should show you that their defensive solidity have been something they have worked out and perfected before the start of the World Cup. Spain failed to understand that this is the world cup match, not a league game, and possession and pass completion doesn't win you a World Cup. At some point in the game, I got tired of watching them continuously pass all game with no urgency. Hopefully this style will finally evolve after 2 consecutive Rd.16 exits.

Fantastic Match between Portugal vs Switzerland. Portugal Team beat Switzerland by 6 - 1 goals. Switzerland Team try their best to beat the Portugal Team. But Portugal also play well and give the tough time to Switzerland. So Congratulations Portugal for winning this match.
