According ESPN sport France midfielder N'Golo Kante have absent until three months later after get injury and ability for him absent at  World Cup 2022 Qatar, but good news with Paul Pogba recovery process faster than expected could be another option for France on midfielder position. Actually N'Golo Kante have absent make France have loss most creative holding midfielder as N'Golo Kante but there are have Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni could replacing position leaving by N'Golo Kante or Pogba if can't back to top level trough several weeks later with Juventus. Little optimistic with Paul Pogba because in this season not playing yet and World Cup left few days later and worry can return to top level without several games play for Juventus?
If they end up with missing both of them, that would be terrible, even in this situation they are missing Kante who I believe is better than Pogba, and "maybe" pogba will be able to play, which is not certain and I believe that it's going to be something very difficult for him to come back with 100% neither, a player who is already worse than Kante, will also be worse than his own 100% and be ready for a small chance.

France does have other midfieldiers thankfully but they will be missing Kante for sure. These things happen, there are players who miss world cup before as well and I am guessing Kante won't be the last news neither.

I dont think Qatar can make a surprise . They are really bad honestly from what i seen and i dont think they can even get one points inside their group. The only chance how they can surprise someone is if they park the bus and try to defend the entire time and maybe attack with a counter attack.

Maybe, but we will never know what will happen when the match is played. because after all, they are the hosts of this world cup.  they benefited a little from playing in front of their own public, the moral support from the local audience would really help them even though it wouldn't have much impact on their game.
Qatar vs Ecuador, became the opening match of this world cup show. and if we look at the rankings between these two squads, they are not far apart, Qatar has 50th and Ecuador has 44th. meaning, Qatar has a chance to win the game and conquer Ecuador.  however, so far Ecuador has more experience in the world cup event than Qatar.

well, let's just enjoy the show later.

Ecuador is the favorite by some bookies, I also think it's because Qatar lacks experience... and I definitely agree that we can't underestimate the host nation, support from the local audience is like the 12th player! And the last time they played 4 years ago Qatar won. So this will be an interesting opening, I guess both desperately need 3 points if they wish to have some chances for advancing, and this is the game when they can get 3 points! In later games against Netherlands and Senegal, both of these teams will have troubles.

I think they're referring to the football team, not the country as a host for the tournament.

And I agree, I don't think Qatar will go to the next stage.

Not a big fan of the Qatari team, but I need to admit that they have performed really well in recent times. They won the Asia Cup in 2019, and reached the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021. Recently, they played a series of friendly matches against national and club sides. The results included 2-1 win over Bulgaria, 2-1 win against Udinese and goalless draws against both Lazio and Fiorentina. A few days back they managed to defeat Nicaragua by a margin of 2-1. This means that we can no longer take Qatar very lightly.

It’s very hard to predict who’s going to win or lose any match it’s world cup and every team will be performing his best, we saw in previous cups how small teams could perform sometimes netter than many strong teams and did better. For Qatar now they will play with big advantage as well since it’s their own field but also a big pressure since they should perform good and at least go to the next stage. They have a chance to win against Ecuador and also Senegal then draw against Netherlands which is a very strong opponent 
World Cup has always been a game of surprises, the team you never expect to perform well comes to do very well. This coming world cup their are many teams that are strong in performance they are coming up to show their best performance. Let see how the game will go and who will win the game.
You are correct. The World Cup means something new. But this World Cup is going to be the best World Cup in history, this time all the teams will try to play well. But this time, I think that Brazil is Argentina's favorite. These two teams have prepared well. I hope we will enjoy this World Cup.

Ecuador and Netherlands are very strong teams. I don't think that Qatar will be able to win against either one of them. Even a draw looks very unlikely. In case of Senegal, it looks 50-50 for me. Obviously Senegal is one of the strongest teams from the CAF. Sadio Mané is in terrific form at this point and then there are players such as Ismaïla Sarr, Keita Baldé and Cheikhou Kouyaté. It will be tough for Qatar, but at the same time they don't have anything to lose. Actually no one expects them to qualify to the next stage. If they are able to do that, then it will be a big boost for them.

According to L’Equipe newspaper, Paul Pogba is recovering well after knee surgery.
The postoperative recovery process has gone faster than expected, and he should be back at the end of this month.
Although Pogba is recovering, it will be determined by Didier Deschamps whether he dares to take the risk by bringing players recovering from injury to the world cup.
Moreover, France now has Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni can fill the role of Pogba.

Haven't heard about Pogba in a while. How is he doing out there? If I am not wrong, Pogba was the first star player to get injured before the world cup.

I agree that in every world cup the hosts have a slight advantage, but personally I think Qatar is probably the weakest host ever in a world cup in terms of team quality and I don't expect them to make it to the knockout stages of the world cup.
The Netherlands is one of the favorites of this world championship, and Senegal, if I remember correctly, is the runner-up of Africa.
Senegal also have a good chance of reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup and perhaps equaling their greatest World Cup success, the quarter-finals at the 2002 World Cup.

If I am not mistaken in the history of the World Cup, there have been at most a couple of exceptions when the hosts of the tournament did not advance from the group to the next round of the competition. Qatar has every chance to add to the list of these exceptions, although given their strong corrupt "magic" with which they generally got the right to host the tournament, you can expect some surprises, haha.

Actually, I don't expect any surprises in this regard. Qatar will probably leave the tournament without reaching the next round. They have a mediocre squad and will only qualify for the tournament because they are the host country. The Netherlands will likely lead in Qatar's group, with Ecuador and Senegal vying for second place.

Which side based on your opinion about Qatar is bad host in World Cup 2022? They have most quite a magnificent stadium and is supported by very adequate infrastructure compared to the previous country that hosted it on World Cup. I think people claimed without allowed alcohol and LGBT there talks bad with Qatar as host for World Cup.
Come on respect with religion and culture have by Qatar, considering can give most magnificent stadium and supported by quite luxurious facilities don't find bad side about Qatar as the host.

Qatar could possibly provide a small surprise. Normally, these kinds of organizing countries are not a favorite or they can also not be a surprise. But how different have we seen that at the 2002 World Cup? Then it was organized in South Kora and they even managed to reach the semi-finals in that tournament. I'm not saying Qatar will make it, but finishing second in this group would still be a possibility. They could have drawn worse. But if you want to have good chances in the next round, they will have to win the group. If they come in 2nd they will most likely play against England. According to the bookmakers, these are also among the big favorites.
Qatar, this is the first time and first world cup I am hearing this name. Qatar as a country name will be a strong country. Before a country host a world cup, it must have a strong football team. So there is hope for them, the surprise might not be a small one because as it is they are also training hard to win the world cup. Each and every team of the world cup is to win the cup or match so no team in the world cup is inferior or superior in the prediction stage until the real match has started then we can pick out the weak teams and the strong teams. As it is we are also in the stage of adamant... we do not know who will win and finally play the final stage.


From the Qatar Qualifiers stage we have all seen that it was only the strong teams survived, so the tournament will be a tough one.

I just read that they are going to be setting up drunk tents for people to sober up in.  That might be worth live streaming from the tents and and charge a fee to watch lol.  With the ount of people that are going,, I imagine those tents are going to fill up real quick lol.
This is a piece of good information, drinking and other social functions top the reservation of people against FIFA's decision to allow Qatar to hold this year's world cup. But they can't be denied forever as they are part of the world, it is the country and their guests that will try to respect each other by bending some principles if possible. If a drinking tent is set up in a secluded place, it will be nice so far it will not be breaking the law of the country as a Muslim state.
I feel like it's going to be "rules for the citizens and rules for world cup tourists are different" type of situation. Sure there are some things that are illegal for the people there, it's an Islamic dicta regime where you can't drink booze or have intercourse without marriage, but do you really believe that they will not be providing some leeway to people who are tourists?

Of course not, hell if drinking is not allowed, then English fans should not come as a whole lol, that's all they do while watching, they just drink pints and pints of beer all day. This is why it's going to be fine for the tourists and not so good right after they leave the nation.

I doubt that anyone will bother to check the pairs of tourists who, although for the sake of formalities, entered the country separately, but walk and sleep together. I know about the conservative nature of this country, but we all understand that any ideology has a huge amount of hypocrisy - if we turn to religion, then all these "entertainment" games/competitions are not encouraged by the radicals. But nevertheless, Qatar wants to hold this tournament and wants to attract tourists. I am sure that tourists informally will behave very freely during the World Cup, although formal restrictions will allegedly take place.

I agree, to a certain limit. Hotel management can't install cameras inside everyone's room. So if an unmarried couple decide to sleep together, then in 99.99% of the cases there should not be a problem. But the remaining 0.01% is the issue. I am saying this, because previously there have been similar incidents in the GCC. Unmarried couples were arrested and jailed, just because they were having physical relationships. If they really want to attract tourists, then I don't think that they should stick to these stone age laws.

To this I can add something, if the rules imposed in Qatar are X, I think that out of respect one should try to comply with them, I am not saying anything about drinking beer and liquor outside the field of play, but I think that already of the hotel is too much but there is something that one must apply, that when one enters someone else's house one must abide by the rules of that house, then it is something that must be taken into account, if one is in a country with many regulations, at least for tourists they should not apply, but I return to the same thing, they set the rules and that already changes everything, in part for me this will be a great world cup where all eyes will be on CR7, Messi and Neymar, I don't think on Mbappé, he is still very young, and for me he is not so bright.
Are you confusing anything about Qatar and Covid? Qatar won the right to host the World Cup back in 2010, and it was initially assumed that due to the climate, the championship would be held at such an exotic time. Covid has nothing to do with it.
As for Pogba, he's still recovering from injury (and surgery) and appears to be doing well, but Deschamps said it's not yet clear if he'll include him in the squad.

Normally we don't have world cup scheduled in November-December. For example, Russia 2018 was held in June-July. I thought that the tournament was moved to November, due to COVID. It never came to my mind that Qatar is located in the middle of desert and weather would be intolerable during June-July. Anyway, no one is complaining about the weather in Qatar right now and therefore I believe that the organizers did a good job.

Thanks for the information about Pogba. It is still not clear whether he will participate in Qatar 2022. But one thing is sure. France would be significantly weakened if he doesn't play.

Of course, obviously if Pogba does not play it will be very bad news for France, without Pogba and only Mbappé's performance it will be disastrous, due to Mmmbapé's level of egocentrism it could generate total losses for France, and also if they do not take Benzema it is like putting a rope on him around my neck, with so many good players in France, I wouldn't hesitate to take Benzema and if I could, I would take Titi Henry, I wouldn't mind at all because of his age, I think there are few players with his class, and if I could take I would also put Zidane in, even for the last 20 minutes of the game, to have a whole arsenal of world football, with those characters I think they could win more than enough.

Yep. Injuries are a terrible thing for footballers.
Apart from Dybala, Kalvin Phillips, Marco Reus, and Georginio Wijnaldum may be absent in Qatar.
The French team is also not in good shape, considering that N'Golo Kante, Lucas Hernandez, and Paul Pogba are injured.
It will be new homework for Didier Deschamps to find the right substitute.
But the show must go on. The absence of these star players will not reduce the excitement of the World Cup Smiley

I read the news from Sky Sport Italia, Dybala still has a chance to appear in Qatar. but Dybala should be out for four to six weeks, he is claimed to still have enough time to join the Argentina squad. but if it turns out that Dybala has to miss out due to his injury, there are still other names to replace him.
Argentina still has Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez, and several other names. Messi, certainly not serious injury. Likewise with Di Maria, some news claims Di Maria only needs a month to rest for his recovery.

On the other hand, IMO, losing N'golo Kante, Lucas Fernandez and Pogba, will not have much effect on Didier Descamps' squad.  they have several names for a suitable replacement candidate. Didier Descamps only needs a mature strategy and chemistry between the players.
These are the things that I don't like before a World Cup, the injuries of players who are very emblematic in a national team, it is very different for Argentina to go without Dybala, yes, they can be replaced, but there is nothing better than those who are starters and that they go with the good team, with the team that gives them enough triumphs because if they don't win they will say that it was due to lack of Dybala, of xx,xxx, among others, it is better that if they go, that they do it with all of the The selection is tough, so there are no excuses that can later come out saying, that if they lose they lose with all the good ones, that's how I think and that's why I don't like it when such important players are injured.

I just looked it up and the average temperature in Qatar in November is still around 25 degrees celcius and it can go up to 30 degrees… So I still think there will be complaints about the heat and personally I prefer a worldcup in June/July.
