Argentina I find hard to judge right now. I think that this World Cup is a bit more about luck then it used to be. In the past we had some very balanced team, first and foremost Spain for many years. This year I am not sure, there isn't really a team that is perfectly balanced from the keeper to the offenders. Argentina was often incredibly strong in the offense, but had their blatant weaknesses in the defense.
I don't feel the world cup is now more about luck, for example it is not possible for an underdog team to win the world cup out of nowhere. Argentina are contenders, they made it to the final in 2014, though they lost to Germany, this world cup is Messi's last and that is more motivation for them, i am not saying that it is enough to make them victorious, but it can be a morale booster. There are some national teams that are favorites to win the world cup this year, they are the strongest, the likes of France, Germany, England, Brazil, Argentina, i feel the world champion will emerge from one of these countries.
If it is a fact, it may be that these teams, although they are very good, can sometimes have a touch of luck that helps them, either in the development of the match or enough luck to win, Argentina will undoubtedly be one of the The teams that will receive the most attention from all over the world, as you said, it will be the last World Cup for MESSI, it will also be the last for CR7, for Neymar JR, then this World Cup will have that additional touch of emotion, I am not saying that the other countries are not At the level, if they are, if they reached the World Cup it is because they are worthy of it, in the same way, in addition, we know which are the favorite countries.
There were a lot of rumors and controversies so loudly heard before and after Qatar was set as the 2022 host. However, the fact that the hosting of the World Cup in Qatar has not changed since Qatar was appointed to host since 2010.
There are many other controversies that have developed to date.
At the FIFA congress which was held in Doha, last March, there were protests at the congress, one of which was the president of the Norwegian Football Federation, in addition, protests were also present from football players, one of which was a football legend from Bayern Munich, Phillip lahm.
however, despite the controversies. I think it's hard to imagine Qatar trying to buy a referee, as you said, I'm always optimistic and positive thinking that things like that don't happen as long as this tournament goes on until the end.
I don't think that Qatar would try anything like this. Already there is a lot of controversy regarding the issue of laborer deaths and LGBT rights. They definitely don't want anything new. Also, Qatar is participating in the FIFA world cup for the first time. That itself is a big achievement for them (although they qualified automatically as the host and not through AFC qualifiers). I guess if they manage one draw against either Ecuador or Senegal, the Qataris should be very happy. But in all probability, they will finish at the bottom of Group A.
Qatar into the FIFA is a big thing. To the expectations Qatar have developed the infrastructure and have spend a lot on this tournament. The team could've been under hard practice, because big expectation will be there. There is no perfect data, but different sources say that the death counts above 6000 since the host rights were received and Qatar started working on it.
Well, it's a secret for Andie that the Fifa World Cup in Qatar will be quite a feat, in my opinion I think they are going to do and show things that are very advanced in technology, more or less what I expected for the World Cup in Japan and Korea , I am hopeful that I will see it in this one, and with regard to refereeing as well, because I have seen that they will make many improvements, not only the VAR that they have also achieved in the way of cheating, because in the end the referee is the one who has the last word, So this is something that without a doubt we will see, at least I have the hope that it will be like that, otherwise I don't think this World Cup will disappoint us.
