Topic: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers - page 14. (Read 35015 times)

England will be playing their first match today,and I have a feeling that Southgate will make lot of squad mistake today,but if I can advise him on what to do, first he should forget about the talk of Harry Maguire usually plays well at the national team, he should just start with stone and Eric Dier/Coady, Philip has not play lot of games at Manchester City this season yet to merit starting but the last few matches he played before the break was outstanding performances,so he  can still pair with Declan Rice, at the front sterling should always start with Harry Kane,the other option in the front three should be cover with either Saka,Phil foden, or rashford.

Ecuador has impressive start of this world cup specially after too many rumors which were circulating in media that Qatari officials offer them bribe for losing match now these are just crap media masala for creating controversies in this event because too many haters are also involved in this all which are not happy first Muslim country is going to host mega event like this but things looking very good which can create good fun for all fans even now Qatari authorities again put hard ban on alcohol and few other things which were supposed to be settled before the event.

After having first match performance now I have feeling Ecuador is surely going to be having good chance for qualifying into next round because their performance against host nation was amazing, and they can do better in next two games against Senegal and Netherlands.

oh booy!!

Honestly, it seems like I have misinformed you on my part. We live in a world where social media is absolutely crazy these days. And it's easy to see something and believe it. There are also people who are willing to do anything to get views for their videos. As far as I am concerned, it was my fault. It would have been helpful if I had looked into it a little further.

In addition, I do agree that this is not from the Qatar World Cup,2022. On October 7th, 2016, this incident took place. There was a 3-0 win for Ecuador against Chile in that match.


Thank you

In case anyone wonders, that video is not from the Qatar - Ecuador match. It's from a 2016 match between Chile and Ecuador. You can even read the signs of the stadium in Spanish (Salida/Exit). Here's more info about it: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/enner-valencia-police-stretcher-ecuador-28516675

Here's the original tweet from 2016

The Ecuadorian team won the match by a score of 2-0. The match was a memorable one.
But something interesting was that I found out from Twitter that Valencia, the captain of Ecuador, was faking the injury so that he does not have to get arrested because of the unpaid child support.
As he was being taken to the ambulance, police members were chasing him.


Anyway, this match was a good one, and I think if the mistake was not made by the Qatar goalkeeper, the outcome of this match could have been different.

I think that Lionel Messi is a great player and he still has a lot left in him. This is going to be his last World Cup so he’s determined to try his finest to give his 100% for his national team. He has always been criticized for not having stellar performances with his national team. This is a good time to prove people wrong. I think even though Lionel Messi is not at the peak of his powers, he is still a capable player and has a lot to offer the team.

On the other hand, there is a lot going on with Cristiano Ronaldo right now. He is also not in a very healthy mental state right now. This was also going to be the last World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo. But the way things are shaping up I don't think Portugal is likely to do very well in this World Cup.

The official World Cup started and I was gifted with a very nice match. Many fantasized about this match. Everyone thought that Qatar would start the drama in this match for their country to win.But it was completely wrong no corruption no drama was acceptable here Qatar lost 2 - 0 against a very good game.

Of course Enner Valencia is the first player to score 2 goals in one match. But we will also see the first round for all the teams. So that it will give birth to other great players. Enner Valencia is the winner of Ecuador. Even though the Ecuador team started the match against the hosts, Qatar is not a strong country at the moment, considering that Qatar is still playing in the world cup for the first time.

In addition, Qatar is also a part of the Asian continent, of course, the level of football development is much lower than that of Europe and South America. As long as the world cup was held, only South Korea had ever made it to the semifinals. During the world cup, only South Korea had made it to the semifinals in 2002.

They never said they will officially retire but they will have a certain age that won't give them the chance to shine again but I do hope we will see the best from them as well because both Cr7 and LM10 deserve to win the World Cup. Regarding both of them making the finals...uhm , sounds great , sounds like the perfect final but on same time, I'm gonna keep it realistic for now and Brasil is really a force that looks unbeatable right now.

Maybe this final will be very interesting huh? Not only because these two countries have strong squads, but also the 2 best soccer players of their time, namely CR7 and LM10. Here we will see the old matches of the two men in different places. And it will probably be very interesting because it could be, this is the last World Cup for them before they retired from playing football. Even though their glory seems to have stopped, their names are still big.

Ecuador had a really dominant game just as most people expected and got a comfortable win by 2-0. Qatar are the weakest team of their group so I don't expect them to get even one point against any team. Senegal and Netherlands should be able to have easy wins as well. If Qatar won this match then people would doubt this match seriously by the way. Because we all have heard about news saying that Qatar tried a bribe attempt to secure a win in this match.

Tomorrow my favourite sides are Netherlands, England and Wales. Netherlands have a more difficult opponent like Senegal maybe but I still expect them to perform solid. They have made a big progress these days as they are stronger than their old look now. England have an easy job to do. Wales are seen as the underdog by bookmakers but I still think they can do better than the USA. I expect a victory by a one-goal gap.

The world cup has officially started. The host Qatar lost. Ecuador won 2-0 with goals from their captain Enner Valencia. The star of Fenerbahce was signaling with the goals he scored this season. He also became the star of the first match in the world cup and proved to the world his great performance this season.

Anything that has to do with Portugal and Argentina is something that can happen, the speculations could be many, particularly in this case I believe that Argentina may have many possibilities of becoming the biggest favourite, however I think that for now we should not weigh like that They haven't played yet, it's normal that the magnifying glass in the world is on those teams, on the one hand Messi, on the other hand CR7, I wouldn't know who could win there, I think both players deserve it, but for the moment they've been happening I think that for me the one who deserves it the most is CR7, however that does not detract from what Messi deserves either.

The case of CR7 is something very particular, I feel that the things he has had to deal with are very strong, in the World Cup you can forget a bit about the problem that exists with the clubs, but it is not a problem to dismiss.

Here more or less can be a very brief description of how Portugal can advance to the Round of 16:

How Portugal Can Advance to the Round of 16

Well, the speculations will be above all in CR7, because he is a player who has had a lot of activity in terms of generating news, anything has an impact on him, in this world cup can the ocsa be against or in favor? We don't know, I know that the teams that played him are quite strong.

I agree that this would be the most watched thing ever, even in this opening of the world cup, if the game was Portugal Vs Argentina I am absolutely sure that all TV channels would be commenting on it and people would be attentive to the game, but unfortunately we had than watching this Qatar vs Ecuador game which was such an annoying game that I couldn't wait for the game to end, honestly these Fifa guys need to start changing the opening game criteria, it's boring to watch a boring game precisely in the opening of world Cup


portugal is a very strong team, they have chances of reaching the world cup final, if we look at the world cup and the kind of thing that many big teams destroy and in the final there will always be a team considered small against a strong team, why portugal still has a chance to reach the world cup final

---

Qatar 0 - 2 equator

finally this game ended, it was a very boring game to watch, honestly I kept thinking: is this the level of qatar? the guys don't know how to play, they're just in the world cup because they'll organize it, if they had to play in the qualifiers they wouldn't have any chance and with this defeat it's clear that they won't have a chance to pass to another phase, they're probably the worst team for this world cup, I also think that this is one of the worst world cups ever organized, I didn't see anything stunning, we'll see what the next games will be like, but in terms of music and animation, for me it didn't exceed expectations

But indeed this is only one of many possibilities that happened because indeed I doubt even Portugal can be in the final even though Argentina is still possible.
Even though Portugal currently has some good players who are turning to Ronaldo, but indeed being in the final with the condition of other teams that still have a big chance, it's obviously a little difficult.
This will only be a dream will not come true if we look at it rationally.

If Argentina and Portugal play the final of the World Cup in Qatar, it will be the history of history. Because both teams have the two best players in the world, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It is surprising to think about that imaginary final game. Although the chances of this happening are very low, it wouldn't be bad if it happened.

This would of course be everyone's dream and I agree that it would be the most watched thing ever in history, and the highlights of the game on youtube could pass all the youtube videos with tens of billions of views. However, Portugal is not that strong anymore unfortunately :/ they are seen as 7th or 8th or 9th in most oddmakers websites as the likely to win the cup, which means it's lower chance.

However, this is football and I agree that it may happen. If it really happens, I would stop whatever I am doing, and make that day a special day, it would be like an "important day of my life" type of thing for so many people, like a wedding, or graduation or something, it would be something I will remember 40 years later when I am an old person, such a wonderful think <3

I believe that a lot of neutral fans will also support Argentina because of Messi, because many want Messi to end his great career with the title of world champion.
Realistically, it will be very difficult to achieve because this World Championship is very uncertain with a lot of strong teams like Brazil, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium etc.
That's why I'm sorry that they didn't succeed in 2014 at the World Cup in Brazil, when Messi was younger and at the peak of his strength, and the team was stronger than today.
In my opinion, Portugal has less chance than Argentina because Ronaldo is not playing at all at the moment, he has a lot of problems with the club and the question is in what condition will he come to this World Cup.

I am quite amazed with the performance of Qatar when I browsed through their previous matches played against quite a number of big teams and they are able to avoid being defeated in those matches. But since those results are being played in friendly matches, I do not really feel confident about Qatar being able to launch any surprise victory in Group A despite being the host nation.

The World Cup is a huge tournament which are only held once in four years time, and the players of Ecuador had fought so hard in order to qualify for this tournament, I guess they will surely put in their best effort in this upcoming match against Qatar in Group A today, I think Ecuador will be able to beat the host nation Qatar.

There is this biased and obviously unlikely scenario in everyone's minds and Piers Morgan already asked as well, which is a dream come true for a few generations, to be honest but it will %99 not going to happen.

That is why all this talk about Argentina, all this talk about Portugal and Argentina could be the only one that has a realistic chance to win, Portugal really doesn't have that, to be honest, but you never know in this type of tournament stuff, anyone can be eliminated. So we just have to wait and see.

The dream is this;

Portugal vs Argentina World Cup Finals

Ronaldo or Messi becomes a World Cup winner

They play it out for 90 minutes, maybe even extra time to 120 minutes, and they battle it out, and finally one of them wins the world cup before they retire. Imagine how many millions of people would watch that final, can you imagine. I can say as much as it would be the most watched thing on television ever, in the history of television, this would be the most watched thing EVER!
