FIFA 2022 world cup

[naira]

Why is voting for the final only for three teams? while the possibility is that 4 teams have the same chance, it's not impossible for the final to be Croatia vs France or Croatia vs Morocco although I don't think Morocco will be able to beat France who has always played well from the start of this tournament, I think Morocco's surprise will not continue.

Yes, it is very strange that Morocco is in the selection options, and Croatia, which played in the last final, is not. As for Croatia against France, I would not be sure of a French victory if this meeting takes place. Even against England, although France looked good, if not for Kane and the generally poor conversion of scoring chances, then France could already go home.

Precisely that was the view of people from the start towards Morocco, it was impossible to beat this and that national team but the proof was that Morocco kept silent with the result which made the giant national team lose. From the start, Morocco had many doubts, including even now facing France, the chances are not much different. I don't think that whatever the result is for France, don't let it get big. The shock was very painful and this applies to them when they face Morocco later.

As for Croatia, it was not much different, people favored Brazil at that time, and for whatever reason Brazil has become the most powerful candidate for the national team, but once again Croatia also silenced the giant national team. So is it still worth hoping for another surprise in the semifinals this time?

Anyone here expect to see the final match will be between non favorite teams? I do not know why but I'm hoping to see Croatia vs Morocco in the final match. If it is happened then the surprise of the world cup 2022 will be completed and maybe it will be a new history in the world as the world cup with the most surprises ever.

Even though Argentina and France looked very convincing to reach their dream final but I will never underestimate Croatia and Morocco.

If you will never underestimate Croatia and Morocco, why you did not put them both as the possible final match? Everything is still possible in this world cup, including the one I'm hoping for above. Although the chance is small but it is still possible to see Croatia vs Morocco in the final match.

I also hope the same as you, seeing from the group phase there are many surprises at this year's World Cup, it is possible that it could happen, Croatia vs Morocco has really never happened that non-seeded appeared in this year's World Cup Final, even as long as the World Cup relationship is not If it's happened, it's the first time in World Cup history.

I also really hope that Morocco can win the World Cup this year, because they deserve it..

Even though Argentina and France looked very convincing to reach their dream final but I will never underestimate Croatia and Morocco. Croatia unexpectedly reached the semi-finals through two crucial matches and both were due to penalty shoot against Japan and Brazil. Meanwhile, Morocco managed to beat Spain via penalty shoot and beating Portugal. These two teams are not the favorites, but both of them can reach the final if they can beat their opponents in the semi-finals.

There are 3 possibilities about the team that will reach the final in my opinion:
1. Croatia vs France
2. Argentina vs Morocco
3. Argentina vs France

But what about Croatia - Morocco? If you say that these teams are strong and they cannot be underestimated, then this cannot be excluded. Yes, I know this sounds very unlikely, but how many such incredible results have already happened, I don’t even remember everything at once. For me, the most interesting final would be Argentina - France, and although I like France more, I would like Messi to become a champion.

[Gosgosking]

I never thought that Ronaldo was to be blamed for Portugal's defeat going into the semi-finals.
in the game against morocco the portuguese played badly

Ronaldo should not be blamed for Portugal lose against Morocco because the overall team play badly even Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo silva too, because they the main palyer and may be we call them the controller of overall Portugal game, but they didn't do Thier best which we expect from these two players, while firstly they didn't give chance to Ronaldo in first half , but when he substitute no crutial pass was provided to Ronaldo in box in order to score , I am sure that if Portugal players provide 4 to 5 passes to Ronaldo in box he will score definitely and may be score twice to wain the match for Portugal but unfortunately it didn't happen.....

Tomorrow game against Croatia will determine if Argentina will win the world cup. If Argentina luckily wins the match tomorrow,  they will try their possible best to win the finals.  If Argentina wins the finals it will be so exciting for Messi   because this has always been all he wanted as a legend.

The chances of the final match Croatia - Morocco are very low but the comparison between the two is very convincing for Morocco because they have won from portugal from the winning score of both halves, but Croatia qualified for the quarter-finals luckily from the penalty match. So my prediction is that there are only two opportunity lists:

1. Argentina vs France
2. Argentina vs Morocco

Croatia is an underdog team which people shouldn’t be underestimated same with Morocco. Argentina and France are the dominant team but Morocco and Croatia is proven there worth for beating strong team like Brazil and Portugal which many expect to go in the finals.

The upset matches has high probability but I’m more on expecting a rematch between Croatia and France on this world cup. The pattern is same.

Every team that has qualified for the semifinals should not be underestimated. As seen throughout the world cup the least expected teams have gone beyond their normal abilities to win matches where they were least expected. I still feel that the finals would be played between Croatia and Morocco. Both teams have good defence and goalkeepers. They have also proven the ability to organise a sudden counter attack which most of the times have resulted in a goal.

I'm not sure if we call Croatia the underdog team because in the 2018 World Cup they were in the final with France
But if we talk about Morocco, yes they deserve to be called the underdog team especially if we look at the team that has been defeated
Morocco real challenge is against France if they can win then there is potential for them to win.

[ZAINmalik75]

The match between Argentina vs Croatia is going to start on 14th. But everyone is worried about which team will win the match. I will support Argentina team between the two teams in this channel because Argentina team is very strong. If Argentina can win this match.  Argentina will be ready to play the final match. And if Argentina loses this match they will have to go back home. I don't know how Croatia will play in the match but maybe a miracle will happen in the match.

I have made predictions for the final that Argentina will meet France or Portugal, but unfortunately Portugal is defeated by Morocco and this is an opportunity to see the two fight in the semifinals, Argentina must beat Croatia in the semifinals as well as France must beat Morocco in the semifinals to meet both of them in the cup final match world later, but I remain in my stance that Argentina will bring the World Cup trophy this year

Absolutely agree with you that Argentina will beat Croatia and will move to final but the opponent will not be France according to view, because Morocco got a momentum by winning continuously, and they Morocco player has high moral and confidence because they beat the big name in world cup like Spain and Portugal, while France are not in his colour because against england they are off colour and didn't show any aggression but due to bad luck of England they won.
So in my mind the final will be Argentina against Morocco and hope Argentina will be the winner of this Fifa World Cup 2022 Qatar...

Croatia unexpectedly reached the semi-finals through two crucial matches and both were due to penalty shoot against Japan and Brazil.

These two teams are not the favorites, but both of them can reach the final if they can beat their opponents in the semi-finals.

There are 3 possibilities about the team that will reach the final in my opinion:
1. Croatia vs France
2. Argentina vs Morocco
3. Argentina vs France

You are left with one other possibility, namely Croatia vs Morocco apart from this possibility which is certainly small but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
We know that their current condition definitely has a condition where they are more confident even though the opponent they will face is quite strong. on the other hand Croatia is a previous world cup finalist so this is possible to happen even though their opponents are Argentina and Morocco will struggle quite hard with France.

[LUCKMCFLY]

~snip~Many people assume they win because of luck. But I think it is a subjective assumption.
Morocco defeated Belgium in the group stage, defeated Spain in the round of 16, and they defeated Portugal in the quarter-finals. We can say they are just lucky to win in 1 match. But winning in 3 matches from big teams, can't be said a luck factor. Morocco wins because they can play solidly as a team and they have a strong mentality.

Yep, Morocco has done their best efforts, they reached the semifinals because of their hard work. I really expect that this team can reach the final round, so there will be another surprise in this world cup tournament. However, in theory, they are almost impossible to win against France. France is the defending champion and they have a too strong squad.

Absolutely right.

It was not luck, but hard work and great strategy for Morocco. I guess the big teams just assumed Morocco would be an easy win, and then got a surprise defeat.

Cristiano Ronaldo was absolutely shocked when they scored and when Portugal lost. He couldn't believe it.

So I think France has to take them seriously, otherwise Morocco will continue to destroy superstars...

Well here this is nothing more than the very good work of its technical director, the team has the best players from their country who are all over Europe playing, and they were not selfish or had any scruples, they called them and brought them to play for them, these things are what make a team the best, that's why all the teams that have won have done very well, and it's not luck, they took out teams that possibly many thought were going to go to the final, and you just have to give credit to their coach and players, personally I would like them to reach the final, and that they play with Argentina, because it would be epic.

Morocco captain Romain Saiss desperate to be fit for history-making World Cup semi-final

Moroccan captain Romain Saiss says he will “give everything” to be fit to help his history-making side continue their incredible World Cup dream, but insisted he will not put his side’s chances of reaching the final at risk.

The defender, 32, was stretchered off 57 minutes into Morocco’s quarter-final victory against Portugal on Saturday, as his side triumphed 1-0 to become the first African country, and first Arab nation, to make the last four of a global finals. They face world champions France at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.

I don't agree to call Croatia underdog hahahaha, it's not a top tier squad like Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, but it's a great team.
Their history is not old like countries above, their first participation was 1998 and so far they achieve: 3rd place in 1998 and 2nd in 2018.
Modrić, Perišić and Kovacic are probably the best trio of midfields of the World Cup.

But Morocco I agree, it's really the surprise of this World Cup, but in my opinion France is going to win without worries, I believe in France in the finals, but Croatia and Argentina I don't have a strong opinion, both are capable and both are playing at the same level

Honestly Croatia - Morocco final is very possible after recording many upsets and unexpected results in this World Cup, soccer analysts and pundits never gave Croatia any chance against Brazil fortunately they defeated Brazil the same with Portugal vs Morocco, a lot of soccer pundits ruled out the Moroccan, of course France vs Morocco can be dicey it can be won by either side likewise Argentina vs Croatia, matches are unpredictable it's obvious that some of the underdogs countries defeated the so-called strong countries thus I am expecting another upset in those upcoming matches.

There is every reason for Morocco to be optimistic. There is every reason to be optimistic for every semi-finalist. It is their right to dream and to believe.
As a result of Morocco's impressive performance throughout the tournament, Morocco fans aren't frightened of France. With the kind of ultra-defensive football they are playing, Morocco should be the one to worry about.

As far as I know, Argentina and France should confirm their final ticket. There must be a final between Argentina and France.

[babo]

The Moroccan team showed great strength and determination throughout the competition, proving to be one of the best. The Moroccan team has also benefited from a wealth of international experience, with many of its players having previously played in other international competitions. Furthermore, the team has also benefited from a great preparation, with excellent physical and mental preparation which has allowed them to face the challenges of the competition with great success.
In short, for me the real revelation of the championship. In second place is Japan

Even though you could say Croatia is not an underdog, among the big countries you mentioned, Croatia is not so favored by most people. But now they can compete and play very well and solidly, even their game is much better than the top countries.
and for morocco everything was unexpected and no one expected that they would qualify for the semifinals and morocco were the underdogs and in the semifinals they would face france which in my opinion was not easy. And Didier Deschamps must have read the Moroccan way of playing and be wary of Morocco's counter-attacks, it's a game towards the final and both are good and have the chance to make it to the final. But France are a great team and all the players have quality and Morocco have a very strong defense and also rely on deadly counter-attacks.

[Hamza2424]

A major controversy is on going on the congratulating Morocco of the Ex-PM Pakistan Imran Khan on the Indian media I don't know why but it is. I think Morocco played well and they are in the Finals why there is controversy on appreciating the team? Whatever it seems goes on it will be great if Morocco wins the finals too as i am in the support of Morocco after how they played against 2nd most favorite team of the tournament.  

[noormcs5]

Anyone here expect to see the final match will be between non favorite teams? I do not know why but I'm hoping to see Croatia vs Morocco in the final match. If it is happened then the surprise of the world cup 2022 will be completed and maybe it will be a new history in the world as the world cup with the most surprises ever.

Even though Argentina and France looked very convincing to reach their dream final but I will never underestimate Croatia and Morocco.

If you will never underestimate Croatia and Morocco, why you did not put them both as the possible final match? Everything is still possible in this world cup, including the one I'm hoping for above. Although the chance is small but it is still possible to see Croatia vs Morocco in the final match.

If you ask me, i would never want a Croatia vs Morocco final. The reason is that it is always nice to see traditionally strong teams in the final which have big players in their team. Argentina and France final should be an ideal final in my point of view.

I have nothing against Morocco and Croatia. I know Morocco has played very well to reach the semi finals and Croatia has also beaten brazil to come to this point, but still i prefer to see Messi and Mbappé in the final  

[Ratash]

In short, for me the real revelation of the championship. In second place is Japan

I've been following them for quite sometime they prepared really well for this world cup, they had a decent performance in the previous one and it seems that they corrected their mistakes and made it so far this time and what is impressive is that they missed two of their important defenders against portugal aguerd and mazraoui and they still managed to beat portugal without conceiding any goals this shows how strong their bench is.

[giammangiato]

Absolutely agree with you that Argentina will beat Croatia and will move to final but the opponent will not be France according to view, because Morocco got a momentum by winning continuously, and they Morocco player has high moral and confidence because they beat the big name in world cup like Spain and Portugal, while France are not in his colour because against england they are off colour and didn't show any aggression but due to bad luck of England they won.
So in my mind the final will be Argentina against Morocco and hope Argentina will be the winner of this Fifa World Cup 2022 Qatar...

France is one of the strongest teams in the world for several reasons. First, France has a talented squad with some of the best players in the world. Furthermore, France have a history of success in the World Cup, having won the World Cup in 1998 and reached the final in 2006. They also showed their strength in this World Cup by beating England in a superb game.
For me the World Cup will win and not Argentina.
