When it comes to the draw between Portugal and Turkey, I see Portugal as the favourite side. Ronaldo is going to be the biggest threat to the Turkey defense. Turkey's recent look wasn't the best but they were recovering slowly after the manager change. We don't know what kind of a team we will watch against Portugal. If they don't improve their usual performance, they don't have much chance vs Portugal.

very strange to see a world cup without ronaldo.
very
Portugal's challenge to appear in the world cup is very big, it may be easy for Portugal to beat a turkish that has not been consistent in several years without world class players like Portugal. But the big problem is that the next trip after beating Turkey is Italy, which has the same quality players as Portugal. the 2022 world cup without a match between Portugal and the European giants Italy.

^ You know, Italian football has been one of the main attractions in many world cups before. The country has also produced some world-class players like Buffon, Immobile, El Shaarawy, Chiellini, Insigne, Pirlo. The class produced in the pitch was unreal. But now it's all past and they are quite literally struggling in national football.
Portugal has to win and qualify for the world cup. At least for Ronaldo's sake. This might be his last WC, so we need him to play this one.

Portugal qualify for the world cup, sounds really good. The 2022 world cup will be Ronaldo's last appearance in the world's biggest competition, they will try to save Ronaldo face, It is inconceivable how criticism will come to Ronaldo if Portugal fail to play in this most prestigious competition.
The quality of Italy is quite good, from the past until now the Italian squad has always been inhabited by star players. Winning the European Cup makes Italy one of the countries that will win the 2022 world cup.

One great soccer nation is going to get kicked out. For the fans is actually sucks and I am not very keen to watch the play-offs either. It is cooler to watch those clashes at a regular tournament. For Ronaldo it would be a slap in his face at this stage of the career.

Seriously this is big setback for Portugal as recently they have few very talented players and these all are doing very good but still they fail to qualify for world cup and now facing some tough competition from team like Italy which is also having very bad period in last few years as they already miss the 2018 world cup and now again on verge of losing their place second time in a row, but now we have to wait for their next move how they respond and what is outcome of this all.

Few years back I was mad about Italian soccer but sadly now recently they are struggling but good thing recently they won European Cup which is again a good sign for them and their soccer fans.

Many peoples believe it's going to be good for Portugal because of home advantage but still Italy is not easy team for them with some good players few already missing due to injuries but hopefully as this all happening after 3 months they will be better and have their full options available.

Portugal failed badly to not automatically qualify in their group, meaning Ronaldo must make it through the play-offs to keep his hopes of winning a World Cup before ending his career.
But Italy were also disappointing, I was sure they would be able to qualify automatically, which didn't happen.
It's difficult to choose between two such talented teams, but I still believe that Portugal should win and Italy, once again, will be left out of the World Cup.

I am not really so sure about Portugal qualifying and Italy being out of the world cup because obviously, I do want Cristiano Ronaldo to play his last World Cup. But the problem is Italy is not that bad of a team than Portugal and sure the Portugal team will try harder because of Ronaldo but I am still not sure about the outcome.

My predictions for the team that will win the Play-Off are as follows:

Path A : Wales, Path B : Poland, Path C : Italy. Among these matchups, the most difficult teams were gathered in Path C. We will probably see Portugal-Italy pairing in the final. Path C is like a world cup group.

In Path A, I would rather bet on the victory of Ukraine, at least I think that they are favorites. In Path B, in my opinion, all four teams have equal chances and this group (if you can call this format that way) is much closer to the final stages of the European Championship or the World Cup than any other.

Your predictions are good even we have some long time for these matches and no one is sure about these matches, but I am having my own with Wales, Sweden and Italy are going into main round of world cup because these are very competitive and good sides having some good experience and quality players are big advantages.

Right now these all teams have some good time and good practice after many group matches and having a lot of hard work for reaching here, but now it's time for final thoughts about this all on game day any result can happen but having home advantage is good for few teams because it's having big impact in soccer matches specially in Latin America and Europe.

I would never underestimate an Italian team only because they didn't perform that well during the qualifiers. It reminds of a phase when Germany also didn't do that well during the qualifiers but then rocked the tournament. I guess in that regard Italy is similar. It is a team that can just switch gears as soon as there is clearly something on the line. Sure that was the case right now but a tournament is a different beast, and definitely a beast that Italy has proven they can handle.

This can happen because few teams in Europe have very good domestic set up which give them good advantage with many quality players, so Italy already lost last world cup, but now it's time from them to have some good in this, and surely they are going to have very tough competition against Portugal because they are also having some good players but still it is favoring Italy.

I don't even know whether Italy would be the real favorite here. In one game everything can happen. I would say it's something like 45:55 in favor of Italy maybe, but I am not even sure about that. Portugal also has Fernandes along with Ronaldo and a couple of other very dangerous players. In these play-offs there is only one game. That also plays a role as one team only has the chance to play at home in the semifinal and then the final.

Among this most are new Stadium that are built for the World Cup matches. Khalifa International Stadium is the only old Stadium that is into usage since 1976. I've made this just after going through an article that describes the construction of these stadiums costing deaths of more than 65000 migrant workers.

When we talk about World Cup and football we should also remember the soul to RIP. Another thing, the government haven't revealed any information and it isn't ready to talk about it. More people's dreams have got killed within this stadiums, because migrant workers dream of making a better life and to help the family to grow to next level of life work day and night. Once life is lost, who is gonna take care of families that depend on these migrants. Football players are getting paid in millions and billions.

The Gaurdian

You added a zero it is 6500 and not 65000.

Still are we sure that 6500 workers have died to build the new stadiums at Qatar? If that is true it is a tragedy, after all I think that we can all understand that taking into account how many workers they have and that construction is a dangerous job where very heavy materials are moving around then an accident or two will happen and some will unfortunately pass away.

But 6500 deaths? That is huge no matter what standards you try to use, I hope next time FIFA sets some parameters in order to make countries that build new stadiums do their best to protect their workers and set very heavy consequences in the case they do not respect those rules.

Yes, I am rooting for Portugal, but I am well aware that the odds against Italy are very small - maybe 25 percent, not more. And besides that, I'm not even sure that Portugal can easily pass Turkey - after all, this is a fairly strong team. But Italy at same time will have an easy relaxing match.

After seeing Italy performing poorly during the qualification games and being in playoff matches, apparently it doesn’t look like Italy can do that well in the Qatar WC. Italy actually did not even perform that well in the Euro 2020 finals, they went to extra time in the second round and won it, they went to beat Spain in the penalty shootouts for the semis and they beaten England in the penalty shootouts as well for the final, without beating either of these teams in the 90min of the matches by scoring goals.

Spain, England (and Italy itself) have clearly better lineups than Portugal, so I don't think that the argument that Italy could not beat them in the main time means anything. After all, it can be seen as: Italy did not lose to any of these strong rivals.
It's funny that now the bookmakers are already accepting bets on the 2022 World Cup and the odds of Italy are estimated at 13.3 and Portugal at 24.9. In fact, I thought the difference would be much larger.

Whatever the outcome, it will be a match with a tragic result. I will try to find myself an interesting activity to distract myself and not watch it. Bad news is best learned immediately rather than gradually.
If Portugal does not make it to the World Cup, then I hope that Ronaldo will repeat the words of Ibrahimovic:
It makes no sense to watch the world championship in which I will not take part. Grin

By the way, they were said after two match confrontation of Portugal - Sweden.

Mate, we have to face this because I am also feeling very bad about this match, but now we can't change things which are already decided. Now it's time for facing reality and having our preparation for the world cup even we are having some long time, but It's going to be Italy because their recent form is good, and they have some very good and talented players on other side Ronaldo having some good support but not like in Italy. Having home advantage is also good for them but still Italy is good and strong and not going to second qualifier after miss last world cup which won by France.

The most interesting draw seems to me like the Portugal - Turkey one. And the winner of this draw is going to have a match against the winner of the Italy - North Macedonia draw. Italy are highly favoured seemingly and they wouldn't have much difficulty in beating North Macedonia. But the Portugal - Turkey can be a close one although Portugal are one step ahead. I'm favouring them but the result would be by a close score difference.

I’m only excited for Italy vs Portugal as it’s a clash of the titans, and it’s hard to believe that one of the teams will miss the World Cup. Furthermore considering it’s the last World Cup of Ronaldo, I’m wishing that Portugal qualifies for his sake, because after such a glittering career it’ll be sad if he he misses out on his last World Cup.

Yeah, for me, this match will be also the most interesting one to wait for.
Both have their big expectation to win and get the next to the next stage.
Actually at first, I want to se both on Final, but in fact it will not happen beaus they must defeat each other at first. Ronaldo moreover will really try hard to bring his country to win. And moreover, recently, some young players of Portugal are also rising up with their promising skills. I am sure that they will be supports that are very big to the club.
But once more, Italy is also difficult to defeat, I am sure also about this.
Really curious to see the match Grin
