FIFA 2022 world cup

I agreed with rotation made by Fernando Santos as Portugal national team manager brave set Cristiano Ronaldo at the bench and give opportunity for young player Gonçalo Ramos, actually he has answered with public speculation by scoring hattrick at the first time with regular position. Should doesn't care with many bad news publish by media when Cristiano Ronaldo have set in the bench.

The match against Morocco in the quarter-finals became speculation for Fernando Santos whether to continue to provide the main place for young players Gonçalo Ramos or give opportunity back to Cristiano Ronaldo get regular position in starting eleven.

I think that Goncalo Ramos proved that he deserves a place in the first team with the scores against Switzerland. I really hope he gets to start the game in the quarter final because coach should bring younger players to the game. Players like Ronaldo shouldn't have a guaranteed place in the first eleven just because they are famous. I'm not saying that Ronaldo is playing bad. But one goal in three games of the group round is much less than anyone expected from him. It will be interesting to see which players will the coach choose to start the game.

Fernando Santos strategy when dealing with Switzerland proved to be effective. Rotations made in several positions made Portugal's game more lively. Goncalo Ramos managed to answer the trust given by Fernando Santos by scoring a hat trick while making Portugal celebrate with a 6-1 victory.
Fernando Santos may again put Goncalo Ramos as a starter against Morocco, Ronaldo and Goncalo Ramos are different types of players. Portugal needs to find a way to penetrate the solid Moroccan defense by installing a strategy that is difficult for Moroccan coaches to read.

Croatia Vs Brazil and Netherlands Vs Argentina will fill in the quarter-final matches tomorrow, of course these matches will be interesting matches. Many people predict that Brazil and Argentina will advance to the next round after defeating Croatia and the Netherlands, so what do you think? will it come true?

IMO, the teams that will qualify for the next round are Croatia and Argentina, I don't have a specific reason why Croatia will win later, maybe it's because of the very good performance of the Croatian goalkeeper.

This match reminded me of last year's world cup even though Brazil and Croatia went through different streams.
In last year's World Cup, Brazil was defeated by Belgium at that time with a score of 2-1 in the quarter-finals, and Croatia beat Russia, and England until they met in the final with France.
I don't mean to doubt Brazil, but looking at Croatia's history, it also has good experience in the world cup journey, meaning that we can't underestimate Croatia in this matter, although I admit that the performance of Brazilian players has been very good this year and many people are talking about it, but Croatia is relatively quiet in media, could it be that they are on purpose and will surprise us in their game.

Not kinda of quite on the media but Croatia are team that plays football in such a way that it does not generate noise and it is not like they have had a convincing win in this world Cup except the Canada game. There last world Cup run was filled with extra times and they didn't even win any game in a regular time. This has always made the media rule them out in most of there fixtures just like last time out against England. Another thing is Croatia doesn't have a squad player that plays the same Joga Bonito football like Brazil. The Samba boys always generate media hype around themselves because of there pattern of football. But the media noise does not play the football on the pitch even individual brilliance hardly wins you knockout matches but team collection or spirit does that. So any one underestimating Croatia is doing it at their own peril

Brazil vs Croatia, of course I choose Brazil. From the beginning of this event in the title I supported them. But Croatia is pretty good Brazil should be wary.

Then another interesting match, England vs France. Game-wise I love England. They played as a team. The players' short passes reflect them like an EPL club. A lot of young players and have good confidence in carrying the ball. It seems that I prefer England to win. Another key, England must be able to shut down Mbappe so that they are not free to carry the ball.

But I read in the local media that Mbappe was absent from team training. There is no news yet on whether he was injured. But if it is true, England will be a little lucky.

Now we have eight teams left into this event which mean things are going tight for all teams and any team can qualify for the last four because after having amazing performance from Morocco now things can't be easy, and we have all other matches as tough because Netherlands vs Argentina is also a level match between two quality teams and both have few exciting players those can do amazing stuff for their team with we have second match between France vs England which is also tough challenge even with the form of France mostly feeling they are able to win and have chance to defend their title because they are on their best with top quality players and Mbappé is surely strong person for winning title of Golden Boot for the FIFA World Cup.

There is no doubt that all of the quarterfinal matches will be really intense and interesting at the same time. I believe that Brazil will have the edge over Croatia in the match between the two countries since they have an exceptionally strong team of very talented players, as well as a deadly attack.

In my opinion, the most interesting match that will occur is going to be the one between France and England, as both teams have really good squad depth and players within their squads. It is my opinion that I would give the edge to England, as they have played really consistently throughout the season and have been playing well as a team. There has been an exceptional level of performance from Phil Folden, in particular. France might suffer a little setback if Karim Benzema is injured as they have lost a key player in the form.

After the dramatic group episode of the 32 -teams participation, the first step of the cruel knockout has reached the eight -team tournament. Brazil-Argentina match in the quarter-finals of the eight-team is now as the dream of many. Wating for a long perod of time specifically, 32 years we expect agian the dream match. Eight years ago that was likely to end but did not. Argentina made it to the finals, but Brazil could not be able to do it at the World Cup in Brazil. In the semifinals, Germany defeated 7-1 in the semifinals due to the 'Mainezo'. Brazil-Argentina match possibility at this time is much higher. If the Netherlands or Croatia won't stop it.

Croatia is far behind Brazil in the FIFA ranking.

In a knock out phase, FIFA rankings don't mean too much. Players at a specific match, how they are ready, how they are united, how they want to fight, will decide results of the match together with referee decisions and luckiness. FIFA rankings are things on the paper and are useless in reality.

At the same time, comparing the gameplay and squads of these two teams, it is easy to see that the Brazilian team is much stronger. Brazil will easily win against Croatia if there is no accident. However, the Croatia team will want to draw the match by playing a defensive strategy. Croatia's defense is strong. If Croatia can score first against Brazil, they will play completely defensively. Still, I expect Brazil to win this match. Hopefully, Brazil will not make any mistakes in this match and will be able to win.

Croatia have good defense system which will reduce dangerous attacks from Brazil. Hence, it is important for Brazil to have Neymar in this quarter match with Croatia. The same importance with Casemiro in midfield because Brazil really need him to break counter attacks from Croatia as far as possible since the middle of field. With Modric and Perisic, Croatia can turn from defense to attacking very quickly and with highly dangerous ability.
Brazil is my choice to win this match too but it's hard to choose between Neymar and Modric. I really want to see both of players to have happy endings with their national teams.

However, it is also important to mention that the Croatians are playing really well as a team. Their team chemistry is excellent and they have a particularly capable midfield, which is comprised of Luka Modrić, Kovacic, and Brozovic. In my opinion, the only area of Croatia's game that they need to improve is their attack. Other than that, I feel that the match is going to be really exciting and I am looking forward to it.

Inversely proportional to you, namely Brazil vs Netherlands.

I predict that Brazil can overcome Croatia in the quarter-finals although not in an easy effort. Brazil has almost the same quality of players between the first team and the second team, coupled with the return of Neymar to the squad after recovering. What makes me doubt is Argentina, which cannot be said to be easy to win against the Netherlands.

The Netherlands made us more convincing to beat a Tango team who looked to play in grueling conditions when they beat Australia in the round of 16.

The Netherlands and Argentina are of equal strength I think. both have the same chance to pass. unfortunately they met in the top 8.
I agree with Brazil that will qualify for the semi-finals. but between the Netherlands and Argentina is still unpredictable. both are quite strong, but maybe Argentina will be luckier to meet Brazil in the semi-finals.

If Brazil plays with the Croatia the same way Brazil played with the Koreans, then probably Croatia will have little chance, because even if the entire Croatian team sits on defense, it is unlikely to help, Brazil will still find a way to score.
Apparently, the Croats will have to try to play second-string first and look for chances in counter-attacks.

The Netherlands have a better chance against Argentina. A lot will depend on Messi, if he can score a couple of goals alone, then most likely Argentina will pass, if not, then the chances are equal.

The match is really going to be exciting, Brazil matches have been always exciting and not boring at all to watch, so I am expecting Brazil versus Croatia to not be boring but  more and super exciting as it is quarter final. But all what I see is that Croatia team are good, but Brazil is better and that Brazil have better players to qualify their country to semi final, I am on Brazil side for this because they are more likely to qualify for the semi final.

If many predict that Brazil will win easily against Croatia, I'm also sure that many believe that in Argentina.
It could be that Brazil vs Argentina is the most likely option in the semifinals, but I personally feel unsure and still very confident that the Netherlands will advance to the semifinals even though the Netherlands don't have as many big name players as Argentina do.

If in 2014 in the same tournament in the semifinals the Netherlands lost to Argentina on penalties, then for the Qatar world cup the situation could have been reversed.

There is no doubt that Brazil will qualify for the semifinals if Croatia plays like they played with Koreans then also Brazil will defeat them but it will be a little tough match for them.

The match between Argentina and Netherland is very unpredictable any team can win the match. If Messi is in action mode on the match day then their is a chance for Argentina to qualify for the semifinal.

Same here I also predict Brazil will qualify even I have placed the bet since yesterday Brazil -0.5/1 https://imgur.com/8A5iUhi
I believe Brazil can beat Croatia in 1x2  while  Netherlands vs Argentina this is not easy and may have to go to penalties
Only the lucky team will go to the next round I don't have any specific predictions for any of them.

A win for Brazil sounds more reasonable indeed, but I personally am not so sure they will win easily against Croatia, maybe we will also see the penalty shootout phase in this match.

The Netherlands have a better chance against Argentina. A lot will depend on Messi, if he can score a couple of goals alone, then most likely Argentina will pass, if not, then the chances are equal.

Do you see Argentina being the same as Norway with their few great players? great players in Argentina are not only Messi, we have a lot more than we imagine, for example, just Julian Alvarez, Paulo Dybala (although he hasn't played yet), De Paul, Angel Di Maria and many more. Absolute victory I think will be on the side of Argentina.

Brazil vs Croatia and Argentina vs Netherlands I don't know if Argentina will win these quarter final matches.  But here the past games of Netherlands and Argentina are almost equal so I can say that this game of Argentina vs Netherlands will be a very interesting match and history is only waiting for time.  But Brazil and Croatia will be a tough fight as both of them are strong but Brazil is known as one of the best team in FIFA World Cup.  But Brazil has the quantity of strikers and goalkeepers and the best defenders in the world.  With which Brazil has a lot of power to attack the opponent.

[aylabadia05]

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.

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.

Of course I don't agree with you if star players can give victory to a team even though what you mean may not be like that.
Fernando Santos, the Portugal coach, has responded with a bold step that put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench when he beat Switzerland, showing that a team does not completely depend on star players because without star players a team can also win.

Ronaldo's star has begun to fade. Portugal is now preparing a new generation like Ramos, Leao and Felix.
Even though many Moroccan players idolize Ronaldo, in the game later, he (Cristiano) is their opponent and victory is the most absolute thing.

[Docnaster]

The Spanish mistake was to force every player who shouldn't be in that position. Let's take the example of Marco Asensio, he should be in the winger or AMF position and instead he is positioned as a striker, while Rodri should be in the DMF or CMF position instead he is placed in the center back position. But in fact the two players were placed in an inappropriate position.

Even though on the bench there are names like Alvaro Morata who plays as a pure striker and there is also César Azpilicueta who plays as a center back.

I can't understand why Luis Enrique could think like that, does he still want to keep the Barcelona players to fill his line up in Spain or indeed he can't see the potential of other players.

I was also surprised when I saw that the Spain coach played many of the players out of position. almost at the defence line that played against Morocco where midfielders while defenders were sitting on the bench, he changed many things.
But I decided not to blame him any longer because they must have tried it out in the training and there should be a reason why he should do it at the quarter-final stage. Meanwhile all those people played well in all the positions they were played.  Morocco were more focused and energetic than the Spanish team

[Dewi Aries]

I still can't predict which team will win this Brazil vs Croatia match. But I can predict that it will be a tough fight between the two teams. The team that will lose in this match is the one that we all don't know. But if Brazil can win. It will be good for us because I have decided to bet in support of Brazil.

Between Brazil and Croatia difficult to predict? I don't think so because the betting market has helped us
try to check this screenshot https://imgur.com/V3NM15I obviously all the bookies favor Brazil but that's just a prediction
No one can predict the final result of the match correctly unless just lucky.

It's not strange that all bookies favor Brazil. They are by far more famous and I will say better team. If Croatia and Brazil play 10 games, I would say that Brazil would win at least 6 or 7 games. However quarter final is only one game and who knows what can happen. Maybe Croatian players find extra confidence because they are playing against Brazil. In fact Croatian players often give much better performance when facing a stronger opponent.
