🔥🔥After the 2022 World Cup🔥

[ajanwalker]

Alexis Mac Allister from Argentina, the football player who marked the world cup and came to the fore. He plays for Brighton have Albion in England, but I think he will go to big clubs during the interim transfer period or at the end of the year at the latest.

And Enner Valencia from Ecuador drew attention. If Ecuador had seen further tours we would have heard more of it.

Croatia goal keeper, Livakovic

 Are there any football players or players that caught your attention?

[qory]

It is striking that a player from that team managed to make it to the national team of Argentina. Wouldn't that normally be way too high? He certainly hasn't played badly, but I doubt he can make a move to a really top team in the Premier league. There are still a number of players from Argentina who play in lower divisions but do play in the national team. There are more examples of this in other countries as well. Now it is time to focus again on the European Championship in 2024.

Argentina showed that every player both in defense,midfield and attacking had great skillset which helped Argentina win the title since the distant year of 1986 and that undeserved lost game in 1990 against Germany.I also think Mac Allister one of the best players for Argentina together with De Paul they kept all the pressure during tonight final as the battle is won in the midfield.

Enner Valencia was already well known compared to Mac Allister but also that substitute player in Holland which I forgot the name,the number 19 who equalized Argentina in quarter finals in 13 minutes is going to be noted.I don't think any other players beside these because all others were already well known.

We certainly need to remember logero Bono from Morocco

A true "wall" that greatly benefited Morocco and helped them reach the quarterfinals. We know that his participation in the World Cup was one of the great assets for his team to get so far in the competition. The Morocco goalkeeper only conceded three goals, one of which was an own goal.

Bono has already been named man of the match twice in the elimination phase, and in the round of 16 the goalkeeper was one of those responsible for preventing Spain from scoring, guaranteeing a place in the quarterfinals. Do you remember that he took two of the three penalties beaten by the Spaniards? The guy is a very good goalkeeper, the best I've ever seen in this cup.

And in the Portugal game, the goalkeeper was a "wall" against the opponents, preventing the Portuguese team from scoring their goal several times.

It is for these reasons that I believe he should be recognized and named as one of the best players in this world cup.

[roslinpl]

Most of the people making a word of Argentina will not win this trophy. But the team made the Lionel Messi a good farewell. The full team works for it, it’s not like other game. The full team need to make a good effort to made a good shots. Messi became a World Champion at last before the fair well. It was great game by the team for his experienced player of the team. Because the same was reverse one in Indian Cricket team at the retirement of the world class player M S Dhoni. Even I was a big fan of him, even though I was not belong to their country and their team players doesn’t made a good game for him.

[trendcoin]

I really liked Sofiane Boufal and Izzeddin Unahi's performances. I don't think they can stay in Angers any longer. They are very likely to make a good transfer in the winter transfer window or at the end of the season. I also liked Amrabat's performance very much. There were talented football players in Morocco that stood out. The transfer fees of Boufal and Unahi may be at reasonable levels, but the numbers spoken for Amrabat are very high.

Also, I really enjoyed watching Mohammed Kudus from Ghana. He has the potential to mark the coming years. He could have a career that will escalate the Mbappe and Haaland rivalry.

[pungopete468]

Morocco's player has played a very strong tournament. And against all the strong countries, Morocco really played to win. Morocco's gesture was beautiful when they eliminated Spain in the dressing room towards Nouri, a young player who suffered from a heart problem and will probably never walk or talk again. You don't see other teams doing that very often. Morocco's team spirit has also ensured that they have come this far. Kudus hasn't been able to show enough because Ghana as a country just wasn't strong enough to get through. I haven't spotted many real talents, but Gvardiol from Croatia has made an impression and Morocco also had 2 midfielders very strong. A nice transfer awaits them.

Logero Bono for Morocco was quite fantastic and had it been they moved past their stage to the final, he would certainly be one top Dog to look out for.
For me however, Mbappe had always been the focal point of my interest and he proved today why he should be in the spotlight as one of footballs greatest with his impressive performance and goal average. His wages is sure going to skyrocket after this and we hope to see more of his impressive play being replicated in the league cups.

[rahmad2nd]

Alexis Mac allister, he earned his place as this player after what he showed during the Mexico match. after this match, he became the main starting and his role as a midfielder really deserves appreciation. he was also able to contribute one goal for his national team, during the match versus Poland. his performance was unstable during the match vs Croatia, and in the end Scaloni withdrew him who replaced him with A. Correa. in the final match vs France, he really appeared extraordinary, his enthusiasm was tireless. and he contributed an assist, which was continued by D Maria to make it the second goal for Argentina. he deserves to be given the stage to play in a bigger team.

Ernest Valensia, this Ecuadorian player. his appearance is truly extraordinary, even though he has entered 33 years of age. but his contribution to Ecuador deserves a thumbs up and he has scored three goals. unfortunately, in the last match against Senegal, his condition had gotten injured before.

For goalkeepers, besides Livakovic, Bono, Andries Noppert must also be appreciated. yes he is the goalkeeper of the Dutch national team.  and one more, Emeliano Martinez, absolutely brilliant.

Another one, one of the young strikers owned by Portugal. Goncalo Ramos, I think his career will be brilliant with big teams and I'm sure of that.

In my opinion that Mbappé is a king and is new generation. I have never watched Football world cup but in 2022 it made me very excited. And I am also very excited to see that what will happen in 2026 when USA, Canada will host woord cup. And also there are some players like Morocco Goal keeper, he has done great job cause he made effort for moroco team.

[Queentoshi]

The world cup is of the best place for young talents to show what they could be worth and for others with worth already to show why they are worth like that. For Goncalo Ramos, I remember him as the young star player that scored the first three goals in a single game in this just concluded competition. He made a good impression being the one to replace Ronaldo starting and he did not disappoint with his performance.
One player I took note of although his country performed less than expected is Jamal Musiala from Germany.

[Sithara007]

And I am also very excited to see that what will happen in 2026 when USA, Canada will host woord cup. And also there are some players like Morocco Goal keeper, he has done great job cause he made effort for moroco team.

Most of Mbappe's goals came against weak teams. Two of his goals came against Poland, two against Danmark, and one against Australia. And in the final, although he scored one goal by himself the other two came from penalty kicks. And during the initial 80 minutes his performance was pathetic (although he made up for that in the next 15 minutes of regular play and 30 minutes of extra time). I thought that although he received the golden boot, there was nothing special in his performance this time. For comparison, I would rate Julián Álvarez ahead of him.

Yeah, it's a problem with golden boot reward because it is not awarded to the best offensive player, but to a player that scores the most goals during the World Cup. There probably are better offensive players than Mbappe, but rules are rules.

We could also argue that Argentinian goalkeeper didn't deserve a golden glove. Look at this comparison between Martinez and Livakovic:


So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?

Haven't checked the stats of the two at the World Cup but seeing what you're showing it honestly has to be said that Livakovic deserved much more and the difference is vast and it's become quite puzzling why with such disparate statistics the organizers didn't award the Croatian goalkeeper a golden glove.
Being able to bring Argentina to win the World Cup should not be a reason for giving it because appearance should be the benchmark for judging this is quite disappointing and suspicious.

Ok, it seems like Livakovic was better but they usually give it to the winner team and they won by penalties, which is a kind of platform for goal keepers to shine. In the regular games, I also thought Martinez didn't play too good. But, that's how things are. They just gave it to the World Cup winner. I can't agree with that decision.

Yes, I think that Martinez received this golden glove prize only because the Argentine national team won the WC, but first of all because he defended a penalty shootout in the final match, I think this influenced such a decision in his favor, all this is very subjective, but Livakovic undoubtedly deserved this award.

Goncalo Ramos is a player that most of the big teams including Manchester United are eyeing. If you did watch Portugal’s match against Switzerland, though, you’ll know exactly why the soccer world is buzzing about the young striker. Given his obvious potential and the fact that Benfica, with all due respect, is a selling club, it’s safe to assume that Goncalo Ramos will be making a big-time move sooner rather than later.

I agree but also think that Martinez deserved it more than any other goalkeeper simply because of the number of penalty saved,it was about 4 of them,2 in Holland game and 2 in final game taking into consideration that he found the direction even in that penalty which got out.It is only natural for him to have gotten the golden glove because of this and because he had done more than Livakovic,we don't know how Livakovic would have behaved in a final,he surely was great against Brazil but that is only one match.

Croatia goal keeper, Livakovic

 Are there any football players or players that caught your attention?

For me, the real discovery at this world championship was Joško Guardiol, who plays as a defender for the Croatian national football team.
He played excellently throughout the World Cup and I think it is completely undeserved that he was not chosen as the best young player of the World Cup.
I think that in the selection of the best players, goalkeepers and young players of the world championship, the statistical data of the players should be taken into account much more, and less the personal impression and success of the national teams.
Guardiol especially delighted me in Croatia's matches with Belgium and Brazil, it was football perfection.

Livakovic didn't only save few penalties against Brazil but also against Japan. At best I would say that Martinez and Livakovic performance on this World Cup was equal, but just because Argentina won the title. But I definitely don't think that Martinez showed better performance because it was because of Livakovic saves that Croatia finished third. Croatia had problems with scoring goals but because of good defensive play and good goalie they finished third.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I have three players to mention here who have performed very smart of fast enough in taking advantage of opportunities, first is Messi and second Mbappe and the third player is DI Maria, the two teams made it to the final stage before Argentina emerged the winner with penalty kicks, Croatia and Morocco will as well always be in remembrance whenever the talk about 202w FIFA world cup arises, this edition has been the best ever so far.

[Gencecikmen]

I really liked Joško Guardiol's performance. Joško Guardiol is a defender for the Croatian national football team. I also liked the performances of Enzo Fernández and Juan Álvarez in the Argentina National team. The performance of Sofyan Amrabat from the Moroccan national team was very good. I think Sofyan Amrabat will be transferred to a big team in January.

[Lordhermes]

This is my best world cup, Qatar performed well, the hosting was classic. I think everyone enjoyed Qatar. In the future they will host again. No one ever believe dthat just small country will displayd such quality. I'm very impressed.
All the players are back to Their various clubs , tomorrow premier league begins. We're back to club football.

Wow!!
This is an impressive stats for livakovic and i never knew he is this good. With this kind of stats i think he deserves the golden glove award but this reward is not only given to the player involved by his stats performance,  i think the factor of where your team ended in the competition is also considered because in a situation where the goalkeeper who won the trophy contributed  and perform very well in competition  and is compared with another goal keeper whose stats is also impressive but didn't win the trophy, its only fair for the award to be given to the winner of the competition just like in the case between Livakovic and Martinez. So i think there is nothing wrong given the award to Martinez although Livakovic was impressive in his performance but for the fact that Martinez won the trophy, i think he deserves the award and glory.

It doesn't matter what size is the country that is hosting the World Cup. The point is that Qatar have money to spend and they don't care what will they spend it on. I didn't go to Qatar so I don't know how well was everything organized but on TV everything looked OK.

[FanEagle]

Livakovic 100%, that dude played one of the best goalkeeping performances in a long time and he %100 deserves to be at a high level without a doubt. I know not many people will agree with me on this, but I believe there is absolutely no other way that he would be picked by a huge club.

Aside from that I am pretty sure there needs to be a discussion about Alvarez, he is at City but not used a lot, and he is too good to be just a bench player, so City either needs to use him, or they need to sell him to a club that will give him 90 minutes. We have seen once again some great plays from Moroccon players too, and we also saw some great defence from Gvardiol, all those players needs to go to bigger clubs.

It is not easy to be the host in a prestigious ball tournament like the World Cup.
No matter how much money they spend, it seems that Qatar is not really concerned about it, in fact it will be a matter of pride for the country of Qatar because it was successfully selected and trusted to host the World Cup because not just any country can get that trust.
FIFA itself certainly has the right reasons why it chose Qatar to be the venue for the World Cup, whether it's because of adequate facilities or something else.

I've never paid attention to the football and world cup matches the way I did this year, so i guess its alright to say that i am a newbie to football, i dont know the names of players except the really popular ones like CR7(christaino Rolnado) and Messi, another player which i think must be popular but i am getting to know him for the first time and he caught my attention is Mbappe.

I saw Mbappe's playing skills first time in their match against Morocco in the semi finals, i immediately fell in love with him, right now, he is my best player, the guy is just too damn fast and really skillful, i just cant imagine the kind of deep hole ive been in to just be noticing such a player now.

We certainly need to remember logero Bono from Morocco

A true "wall" that greatly benefited Morocco and helped them reach the quarterfinals. We know that his participation in the World Cup was one of the great assets for his team to get so far in the competition. The Morocco goalkeeper only conceded three goals, one of which was an own goal.

Bono has already been named man of the match twice in the elimination phase, and in the round of 16 the goalkeeper was one of those responsible for preventing Spain from scoring, guaranteeing a place in the quarterfinals. Do you remember that he took two of the three penalties beaten by the Spaniards? The guy is a very good goalkeeper, the best I've ever seen in this cup.

And in the Portugal game, the goalkeeper was a "wall" against the opponents, preventing the Portuguese team from scoring their goal several times.

It is for these reasons that I believe he should be recognized and named as one of the best players in this world cup.

I agree with this, the goalkeeper of Morocco was one of the most important reasons they made it so far into the world cup so I would not be surprised that Sevilla receives many offers for him in the future and we can see him in a more important team soon, and this could be true for other players as well as their performance was so great that I suppose many teams are trying to find more information about them and see if they can bring them to their teams for a reasonable offer.

[mendace]

Bounou, protagonist both in the 90 minutes and in the penalty shootout against Spain.  In the defensive line of our 4-3-2-1, we find another Moroccan in the role of central defender: Captain Saiss, a true warrior and fighter, despite a few too many physical ailments.  At his side, space for Timber from Holland, good at subverting the hierarchy and convincing Van Gaal to let him play in place of de Ligt.  On the wings Dalot of Portugal on the left, preferred to Cancelo on a couple of occasions and protagonist of splendid performances.  On the right, a column from Iran, another of the revelations of this tournament: Rezaeian, among other things who scored the 2-0 goal against Wales.

[rdluffy]

And in the final, although he scored one goal by himself the other two came from penalty kicks.

I thought that although he received the golden boot, there was nothing special in his performance this time. For comparison, I would rate Julián Álvarez ahead of him.

Merit of Mbappe in my opinion, it's supposed to be weaker teams, but another players faced weaker teams too and not scored too many goals like him, total merit.
With penalties or not I believe it's his merit.
In final he did a hat trick and it's not easy, the french team played bad during first half, and only after substitutions the team started to play like it's used to.
But I respect your opinion, soccer is funny, look at Di Maria, he didn't do a top performance during the cup, but at the finals he did the best match and helped Argentina. I'm sure Scaloni regret the decision to substitute him after he thought the match was easy.

Yeah, it's a problem with golden boot reward because it is not awarded to the best offensive player, but to a player that scores the most goals during the World Cup. There probably are better offensive players than Mbappe, but rules are rules.

It's not exactly a problem, there's 2 awards in this case:

Golden Boot to the player who score more goals
Golden Ball to the best player of tournament

The only possible way to measure the golden boot is goal

And I agree with your observation that Alexis Mac Allister, Enner Valencia and Dominik Livaković performed exceptionally. My only regret is that now we need to wait for another 4 years to see these players in action, at the same time. Hopefully teams such as Italy and Chile will also be able to qualify for the next world cup.

Despite being a supporter of Argentina in the final match, there is no way to underestimate Mbappe. He won the Golden Boot in the World Cup. Although his goals were mostly against weaker teams, the last goal in the 90 minutes of play in the final match must have been memorable. Argentina's opposition came at the end with two goals in a short period of time. One was from penalty but the other he scored with a superb short and then France had the opportunity to play extra minutes. Football fans deserve he will do better in the future.

[giammangiato]

I'm very happy that Argentina won, especially for Lionel who after 5 World Cups brought one home
in fact in argentina they are having a big party
they worked very well and therefore a team that deserved it won, I'm sorry for France who played well in any case.

Mbappe is very very strong, he win a golder foot like best of tournament

[boltz]

It was a World Cup that all of us will most likely remember it for ever! My national TV had a wrapped up World Cup highlight last night and it was a special tournament indeed , with almost no issues when it comes to organization and people all over the world that were there , had only great words about Qatar and Qatar people in general. I do hope , next World Cup will be in safety parameters like this one but I doubt it

The entire Moroccan team has outstanding players that any club should focus on but I am thrilled by the remarkable performance of Sofyan Amrabat. This outstanding defensive midfielder would be great asset to any team and they would not regret signing him. He was instrumental to Morocco's quarter finals victory against Portugal. He was full of strength and confidence and controlled the midfield ensuring that the Portuguese team don't have a free day. His market price before the world cup was Ten Million Pounds but I am sure that Fiorentina would not let him go that cheap. He has a contract with the club till 2024 but it might be possible that Fiorentina would be willing to sell him for a profitable fee. His agent has even confirmed that he has been receiving call from top clubs in Europe concerning Sofyan.

[slackovic]

Yeah, it's a problem with golden boot reward because it is not awarded to the best offensive player, but to a player that scores the most goals during the World Cup. There probably are better offensive players than Mbappe, but rules are rules.

It's not exactly a problem, there's 2 awards in this case:

Golden Boot to the player who score more goals
Golden Ball to the best player of tournament

The only possible way to measure the golden boot is goal

I agree. I was referring to someone who said that Mbappe maybe wasn't the best offensive player in the World Cup. Maybe he wasn't but the rules for a golden boot reward are clear. Whoever scores the most goals in the tournament, he will get the reward. It's not the best player reward but a reward for the best scorer.

[FatFork]

<cut>
I agree but also think that Martinez deserved it more than any other goalkeeper simply because of the number of penalty saved,it was about 4 of them,2 in Holland game and 2 in final game taking into consideration that he found the direction even in that penalty which got out.It is only natural for him to have gotten the golden glove because of this and because he had done more than Livakovic,we don't know how Livakovic would have behaved in a final,he surely was great against Brazil but that is only one match.

I guess you haven't watched many matches with the Croatian national team. But regardless, you can very easily check the stats and compare them yourself.

So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?

[ajanwalker]

We could also argue that Argentinian goalkeeper didn't deserve a golden glove. Look at this comparison between Martinez and Livakovic:


So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?

Haven't checked the stats of the two at the World Cup but seeing what you're showing it honestly has to be said that Livakovic deserved much more and the difference is vast and it's become quite puzzling why with such disparate statistics the organizers didn't award the Croatian goalkeeper a golden glove.
Being able to bring Argentina to win the World Cup should not be a reason for giving it because appearance should be the benchmark for judging this is quite disappointing and suspicious.

There were also saves that marked the final match. We can say that his save in the 120th minute was perhaps the breaking moment of the match. He also made great saves in penalty shootouts. Livakovic brought Croatia to the semi-finals. Because penalty shootout determined 2 matches. These two goalkeepers came to the fore, but in order to play in the big team, the goalkeeper needs to act like a defender when his foot needs to be smooth as well as penalty saves. These goalkeepers cannot be great team goalkeepers for now.

We all know that Martinez got the golden glove reward just because Argentina won the World Cup. However, one save in the 120th minute of the final game doesn't make someone the best goalie of the tournament. If a golden glove reward is a reward for the best goalie of the tournament, then FIFA should take into consideration all games that a goalie has played, not just the final game. I'm not saying that Martinez didn't play good or that he isn't a good goalie. I'm just saying that Livakovic probably deserved the reward more than Martinez.

[aylabadia05]

Are there any football players or players that caught your attention?

Mohammed Kudus from Ghana who is currently strengthening Ajax Amsterdam.
Azzedine Ounahi from Morocco who is still a player for Angers.
Josko Gvardiol, Croatian centre-back who plays for RB Leipzig.

Those are the three players that caught my attention the most during the 2022 World Cup. They played pretty well in their respective positions and they had a great role in their respective teams while in Qatar.

For the attacker position, Kylan Mbappe is still the favorite player. Apart from winning the achievement of being the top scorer at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Mbappe is the most difficult player to protect against opposing defenders.

I'm pretty sure Fifa pick the players before the final match.
Of course the Golden Boot is known after the final due to obvious reasons.

There is even a very curious fact, in the 2002 World Cup they chose Oliver Kahn as best player of the cup, not only best goalkeeper, but best player, and in the final he conceded 2 goals with a huge fail. Ronaldo was the 2nd best player of that Cup.
People contested this award quite a bit, and I am sure that if they chose the best player after the final match, the result would be different, with Ronaldo first and Oliver second.

It is very difficult to define the best goalkeeper because of the method.
After all, is the best goalkeeper the one with the best numbers? The one who takes his team the furthest? Who makes the most difficult saves?
Very difficult to define in my opinion.

[reallester]

I think France is the best. The likes of Mbappe did very great in the tournament. They exhibited a lot of strength and team work with unrelenting spirit.

I see them doing better in the next world cup.

Croatia is another team to look out for.

Surely France will be a monster on next world cup since Mbappe is still young while other team star player is already retired or gonna retired on that year. Mbappe shows how dominant he was even with the presence of Messi and other big players in Argentina and teams that they defeated on the world cup.

I’m excited too on Korea and Japan development for the next world cup since they perform great on the recent tournament.

[LDL]

In my opinion that Mbappé is a king and is new generation. I have never watched Football world cup but in 2022 it made me very excited. And I am also very excited to see that what will happen in 2026 when USA, Canada will host woord cup. And also there are some players like Morocco Goal keeper, he has done great job cause he made effort for moroco team.

Most of Mbappe's goals came against weak teams. Two of his goals came against Poland, two against Danmark, and one against Australia. And in the final, although he scored one goal by himself the other two came from penalty kicks. And during the initial 80 minutes his performance was pathetic (although he made up for that in the next 15 minutes of regular play and 30 minutes of extra time). I thought that although he received the golden boot, there was nothing special in his performance this time. For comparison, I would rate Julián Álvarez ahead of him.

By all accounts France's goalkeeper led the way but all statistics failed when Argentina goalkeeper Martinez saved Randal Kolo's powerful shot towards the post in the 120th minute.  It means that if this goal could have been scored then France would have won the match outright.  But Martinez skillfully parried the shot to lead to the game's trybreaker and eventually Argentina won the final thanks to Martinez's skill alone.

France is no doubt will be very promising for the next world cup since Mbappe is really carrying France at the final, France just need a good midfielder who can support to give short and long pass for Mbappe.

Croatia is an underdog team in this world cup, the most important Croatia's player e.g. Luca Modric is currently 37 years old. The next world cup, Modric will already become 41 years old, I really doubt Modric will still have a good performance like this season. If Modric didn't play, I expect Croatia team would be weak.

That was probably the best save I've seen in the World Cup and much more it was in the Finals, that accounts to how they won the World Cup. If Kolo Muani had scored that one and haven't been saved by Martinez, it would have been over for them considering the time is gonna run out in matter of minutes but they pushed it until the penalty kicks.

Benzema is a crucial player who make Real Madrid won by comeback, this is why Benzema is won the Ballon d'Or. I think most people agree if Benzema deserved to get it because there's not many complaints or personal attack to Benzema. It's different with Ballon d'or 2020 where it's really clear Lewandowski is the winner, but the judge is unfair to choose Messi. Messi's performance is good, but it's not that good compared to Lewandowski.

[Davidvictorson]

Morocco's player has played a very strong tournament. And against all the strong countries, Morocco really played to win. Morocco's gesture was beautiful when they eliminated Spain in the dressing room towards Nouri, a young player who suffered from a heart problem and will probably never walk or talk again. You don't see other teams doing that very often. Morocco's team spirit has also ensured that they have come this far. Kudus hasn't been able to show enough because Ghana as a country just wasn't strong enough to get through. I haven't spotted many real talents, but Gvardiol from Croatia has made an impression and Morocco also had 2 midfielders very strong. A nice transfer awaits them.

For me this player from Morocco Sofyan Amrabat was one of the best player in the tournament. He reminds me of Patrick Vieira. He would easily compete with Fabinho in the Midfield if Liverpool signed should him. Although rumors had it that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in him, I hear he prefers to move to Liverpool. That is a great choice by him.

[ScamViruS]

I also saw kylian Mbappe of France. This young man is outstanding and winning the highest goal scorer and he score hat-trick in the final which is another record with Geoff Hurst .

Kylian Mbappe did not play a good game until about 80 minutes in the final match. He came into the match when France were awarded a penalty, and later scored another one own goal. And these two goals were important for France to avoid certain defeat. Kylian Mbappe took two penalties and completed his hat-trick. Kylian Mbappe's performance with the big team has not been the best in this tournament. I think there were many players who performed better than him in this World Cup.

France supporters were expecting a better performance from him in the last match. Many were upset with his performance in the 1st half. Not only him but the whole France team was not getting the ball. Argentina were in full control in the first half but Mbappe roared when they conceded a penalty at the end of the second half as the two sides began to equalize after another goal. Mbappe may not have played very well but without his 2nd goal the World Cup game might not go far. And such an exciting situation would not have arisen. A player can not do well in everyday. Maybe the same thing happened with Mbappe. But overall, many talented players have emerged in this World Cup.

Comparison charts will not give you the bigger picture, Emiliano Martínez impact is evident when they played against Netherlands and he was able to hold on to his position during the penalty shootout and the same happened during the final against France. His saves impacted the match during crucial situations and hence he is adjudged the best goal keeper.

Have any of you watched the games when Croatia played against Japan, Brazil and Morocco? Livakovic saved the games against Brazil and Japan during the penalty shootout and denied quite a few great chances that Morocco had in the bronze medal game. I won't go into which game is more important, but Livakovic impact in those three games was crucial.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

 Are there any football players or players that caught your attention?

There were many star football players in this tournament. Some of them played their last tournament. But I focused more on young football players instead of them. For example, Pedri and Gavi had a good tournament. They have gained very important experience here. Gavi is 18 years old. Pedri is 20 years old. They have many years ahead of them. If they keep playing like this, they can turn into very big stars like Xavi and Iniesta.


The latest name to be linked with a move to Bavaria is Croatian international Dominik Livakovic. According to Sky Sports in Germany, Die Roten has initiated talks with Livakovic’s representatives to explore a transfer in January. The Croatian shot-stopper has a contract until 2024 with Dinamo Zagreb.
https://bayernstrikes.com/2022/12/13/bayern-munich-open-talks-sign-dominik-livakovic/

Also, Croatia's goalkeeper Livakovic had a very good tournament. There have been reports that Bayern Munich are interested in him. I don't think Dinamo Zagreb can keep him in their squad any longer.

[Rruchi man]

France is no doubt will be very promising for the next world cup since Mbappe is really carrying France at the final, France just need a good midfielder who can support to give short and long pass for Mbappe.

You underate Eduardo Camavinga and  Aurélien Tchouaménik, even Coman etc. the french team is blessed with talents, you notice that even with all the injuries that some of their former key player had, it did not still affect their campaign and they were able to make it to the finals. France is a team that is okay and a team to watch out for just like England and Brazil.

For me, Croatia just like Belgium will just be another regular team in the next world cup.

Argentina completely outplayed France in the first half, France's game looked like Argentina would score more goals. But France's substitutes played superbly in the second half, allowing Kylian Mbappe to get the ball. And Argentina were also somewhat erratic towards the end of the second half, choosing to play more defensively than offensively, allowing France to increase their attack volume. But yes, Kylian Mbappe's goals made for a memorable World Cup final match that will not be easily forgotten.

France appeared perfect at the World Cup this time, they lost many great players when the grand tournament took place, but their strength was still quite dominant even though it was filled with young players. One thing that impressed me with France's game was that they were able to come back 10 minutes into the second half so the match ended in a penalty shootout.

Even though in the end Argentina came out as champions, for me France performed quite consistently at the Qatar World Cup. While Croatia, Belgium and Portugal will be regular teams in the next World Cup, I think Portugal will also be included in the qualification.

There's no guarantees that the named teams will be participating or be included in the qualification in the next World Cup. Even the defending champions aren't that sure that they can lead the competition because it's been also said that this will be Messi's last World Cup too, so that will mean that their team's power will much be affected. Although, that not yet sure but that is already likely that it is his last indeed.

[samcoin]

 Are there any football players or players that caught your attention?

As Morocco was the black horse of the World Cup, I believe most of Moroccan players will leave their current clubs. For example, Liverpool already uncovered their connections with Sofyan Amrabat who was one the best Moroccan players, and the French club Angers announced that they can't hold on Sofiane Boufal and Azzedine Ounahi due to the unrefusable deals they are getting for them. In addition, there are rumors linking Yassine Bounou with Barcelona. IMO, These players showed high quality and deserve to play for bigger names like Liverpool and Barcelona.

[el kaka22]

I am not entirely sure there was a better offensive player than Mbappe, dude scored 8 goals, but he was also scoring like crazy during the world cup final itself, he scored 2 in the 90 minutes, and another during extra time and scored on his penalty as well, technically speaking that's 4 goals but the penalty shootout one doesn't count on his stats. At the end of the day,how many other players could be as effective as he is on scoring, and that is a big part of scoring as well.

I get that creating chances is also another big deal and Mbappe is not the type of guy that get the ball on midfield and run and score, but he can definitely score if you just give him the ball anywhere near the post.

[rdluffy]

I didn't say that France goalie should have won the award. Livakovic is Croatia national team's goalie. While I agree that Martinez led his team to become the World Cup winner, but I still think that Livakovic had more great saves than Martinez. I know that FIFA often takes into consideration only the last game so I'm not surprised that they gave the reward to Martinez.

Now I'm confused hehehe
I was sure that Fifa chose the player before the final match.
I tried to find on Fifa's website some official rule about the choice but I couldn't find anything about which match they choose the best goalkeeper: until the semi finals or the finals, so I was in doubt.
If you find any sources, please post here because now I'm very interested.

For example, Pedri and Gavi had a good tournament. They have gained very important experience here. Gavi is 18 years old. Pedri is 20 years old. They have many years ahead of them. If they keep playing like this, they can turn into very big stars like Xavi and Iniesta.

There's many similarities between the two pairs of players.
Luis Enrique has done a good job in my opinion, and Spain has an excellent foundation for the next World Cup and I am sure they will be title favorites again in 2026.
They will be 22 and 24 years, with experience in cup, good enough.

[Smartvirus]

You've picked some great players and am sure the scouts have been watching and at the moment, looking to get some of these players into there squad. Livakovic in particular was one of my personal favourite from this world cup and I was sad to have not seen him win something from the world cup. At least he got his bronze medal with Croatia coming third place in the world cup.

Alexis Mac Allister was also a great player in the Argentine team, Gavi in Spain, Enner Valencia for sure and a few other did leave there mark as its expected in the world cup. I look forward to the teams they would be joining in the January transfer. Hope they make good choices too.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. one tournament changed the fate of several players in a matter of few weeks. I am not surprised for Yassine Bounou, as I thought that he was the best goalkeeper in the tournament (although FIFA gave the award to Emiliano Martínez). Achraf Hakimi was another Moroccan player who was impressive in the world cup. And these players are quite young (most of them are in the mid 20s) and therefore we can expect them to be a part of the top leagues for another decade or so. What happened to the Croatian players after 2018 edition will happen this time to the Moroccan players.

[Plaguedeath]

You underate Eduardo Camavinga and  Aurélien Tchouaménik, even Coman etc.

Yes, those players are make France lost to Argentina since both of them missed their penalty, if Tchouameni and Coman didn't miss their penalty, there's a chance France will win. Any goalkeeper will try his best to predict the opponent gesture and block his ball, while as a player will try his best to score the penalty with any skills he have. But it turns Argentina's goalkeeper is smarter than France's player, so I don't surprised if both of this players didn't include as the main line up next season.

[Razmirraz]

It is striking that a player from that team managed to make it to the national team of Argentina. Wouldn't that normally be way too high? He certainly hasn't played badly, but I doubt he can make a move to a really top team in the Premier league. There are still a number of players from Argentina who play in lower divisions but do play in the national team. There are more examples of this in other countries as well. Now it is time to focus again on the European Championship in 2024.

Sebastian Scaloni saw great potential in Alexis Mac Allister, Scaloni decision to include Allister name in the Argentina squad was very appropriate. While defending the Argentina national team at the 2022 world cup, he has made six appearances with one goal and one assist.
After becoming an important part of the Argentina squad at the 2022 world cup, Allister name is increasingly recognized. Now he has been linked with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid as both teams are in need of a new midfielder. After his good performance in the world cup, Allister market value has increased, especially if Arsenal and Atletico want to get Allister in the middle of the season.

[Sithara007]

But it turns Argentina's goalkeeper is smarter than France's player, so I don't surprised if both of this players didn't include as the main line up next season.

I don't know why France management asked players such as Tchouameni to take the penalty. They had more experienced players available. England also did the same mistake during Euro 2021. They sent inexperienced players to take the penalties and in the end they lost out. Kingsley Coman was another poor choice. I would have preferred players such as Antoine Griezmann or Olivier Giroud. Even Ousmane Dembélé or Adrien Rabiot would have been better choices. And for some unknown reason, France went with a bunch of inexperienced guys for the penalty.

You've picked some great players and am sure the scouts have been watching and at the moment, looking to get some of these players into there squad. Livakovic in particular was one of my personal favourite from this world cup and I was sad to have not seen him win something from the world cup. At least he got his bronze medal with Croatia coming third place in the world cup.

Alexis Mac Allister was also a great player in the Argentine team, Gavi in Spain, Enner Valencia for sure and a few other did leave there mark as its expected in the world cup. I look forward to the teams they would be joining in the January transfer. Hope they make good choices too.

Moroccan goalkeeper Bounou also drew attention. He may not be very young, but he is not too old for a goalkeeper. He is already playing in Sevilla. He doesn't go to another team, but he makes a good contract. Because he has done remarkable work. In addition, De Paul (Argentinean right-back) He also gave remarkable performance. Scout teams especially followed the star players who are not in the big teams. If I were someone working in the scout team, I would follow the u21 world cups. U21 national teams would be the best place to find young talents.

I don't know why France management asked players such as Tchouameni to take the penalty. They had more experienced players available. England also did the same mistake during Euro 2021. They sent inexperienced players to take the penalties and in the end they lost out. Kingsley Coman was another poor choice. I would have preferred players such as Antoine Griezmann or Olivier Giroud. Even Ousmane Dembélé or Adrien Rabiot would have been better choices. And for some unknown reason, France went with a bunch of inexperienced guys for the penalty.

The penalty shootout is very tense and even the best player in the world do miss penalties both at top level. Leo Messi missed a penalty in the opening game against Saudi Arabia, it's not longer a shock to me see players missed the penalty, it's fact about the game that whenever a game results in a penalty shootout, there's every possibility that a mediocre player can outrun the high profile players. France did make a mistake, but those inexperienced players you talking about are the same players that brought France to the final. Didier Deschamps have one of the best squad despite losing his keyplayers due to injuries, these average players are very good on the pitch because they always give in all their best.

I'm not sure how much experience can help a player to stay cold headed in a penalty shootout. It can help a little, but even the most experienced players can miss a penalty shoot. Remember how Harry Kane missed the penalty against France? That penalty could have taken the match into overtime but he missed it. And I'm talking about the team's captain. I don't think there is more experienced player in England than him.

also in my opinion the prize is not really given to the best
we can talk about something that disappointed me, the Ballon d'Or to Benzema and not to Lewandoski (who compared to Benzema scores goal after goal, not penalty, in La Liga and who drives his national team to the World Cup)

I honestly don't understand, but I agree with you

Benzema is a crucial player who make Real Madrid won by comeback, this is why Benzema is won the Ballon d'Or. I think most people agree if Benzema deserved to get it because there's not many complaints or personal attack to Benzema. It's different with Ballon d'or 2020 where it's really clear Lewandowski is the winner, but the judge is unfair to choose Messi. Messi's performance is good, but it's not that good compared to Lewandowski.

I know lots of crucial players who made the difference but didn't win the Ballon d'Or

no sorry, you didn't convince me at all, I am convinced that they gave it for political reasons and not for real skill

I'm not saying he's not good, but Lewandowski is better

France appeared perfect at the World Cup this time, they lost many great players when the grand tournament took place, but their strength was still quite dominant even though it was filled with young players. One thing that impressed me with France's game was that they were able to come back 10 minutes into the second half so the match ended in a penalty shootout.

The performance of the French team has been very beautiful this season, one of which is Mbappe by showing a very good game this season and assisted by his team members, in their last match of the season they were able to change the position of losing points to draw in the last 10 minutes with a run the time difference was not long, the French game was perfect this time, even though there was no help from Benzema.

Even though in the end Argentina came out as champions, for me France performed quite consistently at the Qatar World Cup. While Croatia, Belgium and Portugal will be regular teams in the next World Cup, I think Portugal will also be included in the qualification.

Winning on penalties is actually said to be luck, and regarding the regular teams you mentioned should enter or qualify for the coming season, one of them is Portugal.

We could also argue that Argentinian goalkeeper didn't deserve a golden glove. Look at this comparison between Martinez and Livakovic:


So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?

Haven't checked the stats of the two at the World Cup but seeing what you're showing it honestly has to be said that Livakovic deserved much more and the difference is vast and it's become quite puzzling why with such disparate statistics the organizers didn't award the Croatian goalkeeper a golden glove.
Being able to bring Argentina to win the World Cup should not be a reason for giving it because appearance should be the benchmark for judging this is quite disappointing and suspicious.

There were also saves that marked the final match. We can say that his save in the 120th minute was perhaps the breaking moment of the match. He also made great saves in penalty shootouts. Livakovic brought Croatia to the semi-finals. Because penalty shootout determined 2 matches. These two goalkeepers came to the fore, but in order to play in the big team, the goalkeeper needs to act like a defender when his foot needs to be smooth as well as penalty saves. These goalkeepers cannot be great team goalkeepers for now.

We all know that Martinez got the golden glove reward just because Argentina won the World Cup. However, one save in the 120th minute of the final game doesn't make someone the best goalie of the tournament. If a golden glove reward is a reward for the best goalie of the tournament, then FIFA should take into consideration all games that a goalie has played, not just the final game. I'm not saying that Martinez didn't play good or that he isn't a good goalie. I'm just saying that Livakovic probably deserved the reward more than Martinez.

In fact, the statistics of each soccer player at the World Cup should be the main criterion in the selection of the best soccer players, and not the subjective impression and the fact of whose team was the best in the end.
Honestly, the selection of the best football players in this way is wrong and the results do not reflect reality.
According to all indicators and objective facts, the best goalkeeper of the world championship should have been Livakovic and the best young player Gvardiol.

Another one, one of the young strikers owned by Portugal. Goncalo Ramos, I think his career will be brilliant with big teams and I'm sure of that.

The world cup is of the best place for young talents to show what they could be worth and for others with worth already to show why they are worth like that. For Goncalo Ramos, I remember him as the young star player that scored the first three goals in a single game in this just concluded competition. He made a good impression being the one to replace Ronaldo starting and he did not disappoint with his performance.
One player I took note of although his country performed less than expected is Jamal Musiala from Germany.

Goncalo Ramos is a player that most of the big teams including Manchester United are eyeing. If you did watch Portugal’s match against Switzerland, though, you’ll know exactly why the soccer world is buzzing about the young striker. Given his obvious potential and the fact that Benfica, with all due respect, is a selling club, it’s safe to assume that Goncalo Ramos will be making a big-time move sooner rather than later.

In the Bundesliga there is Borussia Dortmund, in the Portuguese League there is Benfica which always produces young talents.  and one that shines is, Enzo Fernandez and Goncalo Ramos. according to rumors, currently Erik Ten Hag wants one of these Benfica players. yes, Goncalo Ramos is predicted to become a center forward for Manchester United as a potential replacement for Ronaldo. he is a young talent, who looks like he needs a big club to hone his skills. after all, he is still very young, just 21 years old.

As for Enzo Fernandez, this Benfica player has also attracted the attention of big clubs. one of them who wants his services is Real Madrid, but it seems like Madrid has competitors to sign him. yes reportedly, Liverpool also want the services of this midfielder. So let's see, which club will sign these two players.

After world cup.... you can see a really really bad tatoos coming. And more obvisuly comes from the country who its the champion.

I share with you this one... Messi in corticosteroids.





No words...

There's no guarantees that the named teams will be participating or be included in the qualification in the next World Cup. Even the defending champions aren't that sure that they can lead the competition because it's been also said that this will be Messi's last World Cup too, so that will mean that their team's power will much be affected. Although, that not yet sure but that is already likely that it is his last indeed.

To be able to participate in the World Cup, all countries must follow qualifications as a requirement, except the country determined as the next host of the World Cup. When viewed from the strength of the Croatian, Belgian and Portuguese teams, they often meet the requirements in the qualifying round, that means they have a greater opportunity, regardless of the Qatar World Cup qualification. The regular team is a country that often meets the requirements in qualifications, such as Croatia, Belgium and Portugal, even though they have to go through playoffs.

But when talking about the defending champion was true, France was the previous defending champion in Russia, but when in Qatar they had to be satisfied in runners-up for losing to Argentina, only two countries won the World Cup in a row, Italy and Italy and Brazil.

I mean I have seen some bad tattoos before but this one is up there.  Without a doubt there will be worse ones though which is scary.  Happens after every superbowl people go out and get drunk tattoos and wake up to a nightmare lol.  That one is gonna keep me laughing for awhile though

The defending champions will definitely be in the next World Cup without qualification but whether they will succeed is not certain even many defending champions have performed poorly for example Germany at the World Cup in Russia and so far France have managed to perform as well as in Russia going into the final only to lose. Other teams have to qualify, this year we didn't see Italy and it's very possible that in the next World Cup they will play because it must be like a failure if a team like Italy fail to play in the World Cup 2 times in a row
