France is making a good impression so far. Argentina did not play well yesterday. Croatia was also the lesser of Brazil, but then you also name a team. I think France - Morocco will be half a walk over, France has little trouble against Morocco if they play like tonight. England are not beaten yet, but Mbappe doesn't need much time or space to score. I no longer see Argentina as the number 1 candidate for the title. They could be eliminated by Croatia. Croatia - France would be a repeat of the 2018 final.
underdog country morocco won against portugal and first time ever they reach semi of world cup this is a real surprise beyond everyone thought that morocco can beat underdog team but they have to meet france or england later in semifinal and if they can Beating England or France in the semifinals of course this will be history for Morocco, congratulations to Morocco
It think that Morocco will have an even harder job against England or France,with France leading 0-1 now its more likely that Morocco will play against France and that would be the hardest challenge yet to overcome. If they beat someone in the semi final they can win the world cup

The winner of France - England is in my opinion the favorite for the final victory. Argentina may have Messi, but otherwise they showed little against the Netherlands yesterday. Without Messi, they would have been eliminated by now. Or would we see another outsider in Portugal? I do not assume that Morocco can provide a surprise. Speaking of outsider, Croatia should also not be erased. Losing finalist of the World Cup in 2018. Who knows, it will succeed this year. After all, they have the best midfielder of the tournament: Modric.
I won't be surprised if Morocco are champions in this World Cup. It also has the potential. Because before the World Cup, most football experts thought that the most qualified teams to win the championship were Belgium and Brazil. These two teams have a lot of star players. France was in third place. Many players are out of the France squad due to injuries. So they are a bit behind. Morocco on the other hand is playing very well. Today's match also leads with Portugal 1-0. Argentina had a dramatic win over the Netherlands yesterday. And therefore, which team will be the champions, it cannot be said for sure in this World Cup.

Almost everyone was disappointed as Brazil was eliminated. Of course, football is a game that is open to surprises, but they played a great game until this round and won the appreciation of everyone because they were the most aesthetic football playing team of the tournament. I think Brazil played better football than Croatia, but because Croatia played the right football, they managed to get to the next round. As a result, our enjoyment of watching Brazil ended in this world cup. As a football lover, I would like to state that this is a sad situation. 
At the end of the day Brazil didn't manage to score in penalties. You could see some players were not very sure about their penalties, and it showed when they missed.
Croatia was much better at the penalties, and therefore deserved to win.
That's just how football is, the team that scores more, wins.
Brazil actually scored two goals from the penalties and missed two for the records while Croatia converted all four penalties into goals and at the end of the match, Croatia defeated Brazil 4:2 in the penalty kick. For the players who missed the penalties for Brazil, I didn't see any sign of unsure feelings before they took the penalties they missed, and am sure they had the confidence to score but, in the end, they missed it due to the good form of the Croatian goal keeper who was too good in the game.
The loss of Brazil yesterday in the penalties reminds me of the popular saying which says penalties are a body game you could win today and lose the next day so no one should blame them for missing the penalties.

A few hours ago, I talked with my little sister about the World Cup candidates who are currently competing or who have been eliminated. And after that long conversation, I told my little sister what if the national teams that entered the Final were Morocco and Croatia? Surely the results will be beyond everyone's expectations.
It would be a real shock to see all the teams from the top seeded countries not being able to pick up a ticket to the World Cup Finals in the end. It can happen because the World Cup is not only happening at this moment but has been going on for a long time. And each country must have prepared it for a long time.

I don't understand why every time Croatia wins a World Cup match it is said that it was purely due to luck and that the opponent was better. I think it's about underestimating the team that is the current world runner-up from Russia and the winner of the Nations League group stage ahead of France and Denmark.
Is every big victory of Croatia in the last 4 years, like against Argentina and England in Russia or against France and Denmark in the league of nations, or now against Brazil just plain luck?
I think the time has come for the Croatian national team to get the respect it deserves for all these extraordinary results it has achieved in the last 4 years.
Brazil played beautiful football and should have won? Is this a figure skating or soccer competition? lol
Croatia played a great game, and the Croatian midfield took the ball away from the Brazilians and had more possession than Brazil, which no one has managed to do to Brazil until now.
Croatia was losing the game and managed to score a goal and come back, which shows their great mental strength and character. Pure luck? Think again.
Brazil were eliminated from the tournament. Now my favorites are Argentina and France. Argentina and Messi are an unstoppable team. As long as Messi wants the trophy, Argentina remains favourites. I have no doubt about it. Because he shows that he wants it on the field. That's why they are my biggest favourite.
I think it will be a miracle if France wins the World Cup without star players like Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Mike Maignan, Presnel Kimpembe, Karim Benzema, Christopher Nkunku. I wonder what would have happened if they had come to this tournament with a full squad. We would definitely watch a different France.

Messi is a legend. But he is yet to become a world champion. This is probably going to be Messi's last World Cup. And so Messi will try his best to win this World Cup. Argentina made a great comeback after the defeat against KSA in the first match. They are performing well in every match. Argentina is one of the favorites to win this year's title.
I would say if only Benzema was in the France squad then the France team would have been unstoppable. France needed Benzema in this World Cup. Even then, Mbappe is not letting Benzema understand the lack. He is playing well in every match. But if Mbappe doesn't play well, it looks very difficult for France to win.

According to statistical data from transfermarkt, Portugal is the country that has scored the most goals, while Morocco is the country with the fewest goals conceded. This quarter-final match will be very exciting, especially which of these two countries will qualify for the semifinals. We know that the Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was so great because he managed to block the kicks from his opponents, while Portugal has some dangerous young players and the extraordinary performance of Goncalo Ramos managed to score a hat trick in the previous game. It is possible that Portugal will have a little trouble this time considering that the Moroccan goalkeeper has kept a clean sheet several times and it seems that it is an advantage for Morocco to strengthen its victory. With the dominance of these two countries, it seems that the match will last 120 minutes and might end in a penalty shootout. But I hope Portugal can win this match.
Yes, that I just look on every match, or maybe I was mistake to read betweem 3-5-2 and 3-4-1-2, but whatever the formation, in fact Nettheland and me has lost last night. I also accept reality when Argentina excellent 2-0 until minutes 80, and prepare to lost my bet, but I get little hope when Netherland able to same the score, this like a miracle when they make the pinalty shoot, still this not my luck. And, lucky me i won the draw in another match which back all my capital.
Despite the Dutch formation, I'm a little annoyed with Scaloni. I think Scaloni is not too confident to face the Netherlands in the match early this morning. btw, at my place this fight is broadcast at 02:00 AM. Scaloni implemented a 5-3-2 formation, I don't think the Argentinian coach has the confidence to face the Netherlands with the formation he used before. this formation, tend to focus on defense. although when Argentina build attacks, patterns and formations change.
And yes, as we can see from this fight. ball possession, from both teams is fairly even. and as I said, the attacks built by Van Gal's troops always started from Daley Blind and then combined with De Jong, and so on. this pattern really didn't work until the Netherlands trailed 0-2. the entry of L. D Jong, the Netherlands began to be aggressive and in the end the score was a 2-2 draw.
seriously, this fight is very stressful for me. these two teams, are my favorite in Qatar world cup championship. but this is football, we can only enjoy rare moments.
by the way, I'm happy if you win the bet on another match and return all your initial capital. well, what do you think about Morocco vs Portugal.
Almost everyone was disappointed as Brazil was eliminated.

As a result, our enjoyment of watching Brazil ended in this world cup. As a football lover, I would like to state that this is a sad situation.
that's why football doesn't always have to look at which one is great but see how they play skillfully, I saw Croatia was really surprising at the last minute being able to equalize the score until it was a draw, if the Brazilian players had lasted of course they would have come out victorious last night, but in fact the result awas a draw and losing on penalties is sad, but last night's match was greatly appreciated in the brasil vs croatia and argentina vs netherlands matches because they had played well to entertain all audiences around the world

unfortunately, the Netherlands will meet Argentina where these two teams are my favorite squad. statistically, the Netherlands is still behind Argentina and we can see that from their matches in this world cup. The Netherlands really struggled, against the Senegal squad and struggled against Ecuador. so on paper, Argentina will enter the semifinals.
Yes, when we look on paper, Argentina will win the match, but this is football where anything change can happen. This time for the Netherlands for getting the first trophy of the world cup. The Netherlands is a strong team from Europe that never once to feel that, so with a mediocre squad, the Netherlands will be carefree to play offensive with a scheme of 3-5-2. While Argentina was burdened with Messi's mission to achieve in what his dream.
Are you sure the Netherlands will use the 3-5-2 scheme, or are you writing the wrong one that should use the 3-4-1-2 pattern. the strategy scheme that Van Gal always implements in every match, always through Daley Blind and Frenkie De Jong. the combinations that Van gal's strategic scheme does, don't have much variety. except that Van Gal rotated his players several times, including rotating Cody Gakpo. but the results, quite satisfactory. The Netherlands only experienced difficulties once, against Spartan resistance from Ecuador.
On the Argentine side, Argentina often changes its formation. so far, they have only implemented a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 pattern scheme. and it seems, in this fight Argentina will use 4-3-3. Scaloni always varies his attacks, depending on the needs and weaknesses of the opposing team. Argentina always plays offensively, but Lautaro Martinez does not show his abilities to the fullest. in the end, Julian Alvarez was given more opportunities. and this time, Di Maria will be sure to be included in the main starting line-up.
As I said in many previous threads, football is not only based on statistics and on paper. Regarding the results later, will be determined after the game starts. one mistake, will be fatal for both.

My first favorite candidate has been lost, Brazil. Croatia deserves the victory in the penalty. They are more ready.
And Argentina continued to the semi-finals. This is as predicted although they also had the penalty kicks.
Now, I am now really thinking of having Portugal vs Argentina in the finals, it will be very exciting because this may be the last World Cup for Ronaldo and Messi. But, can they?

Yes, there is still France and also Argentina.
France also has a very strong squad. But now, strong is not enough because there were many surprises during this World Cup matches, stronger teams will not guarantee to be the winner of the match. Those who are really ready and can utilize every chance will win. But this is of course not easy. Moreover, the pressure of the World Cup is different. I completely changed my mind from Brazil winning it all and now , I'm going with England to win it all. Why ? Well , no one seems to be hyped for the best squad of England of all time so that's something to talk about in every sport talk show and not only so I think this silence is to not disturb them from winning and so far is working amazingly. 
Brazil - Croatia seems like a very boring game to watch but I had no other expectations as soon as I saw Croatia qualifying with Japan...
And just like that the biggest favorite of a great deal of people has been eliminated by Croatia, Brazil had a lot of trouble to get a score and when they finally did so in extra time they relaxed themselves too much and allowed Croatia to comeback and lost to them in penalties, and in the game of Argentina vs Netherlands, the Netherlands came very close to making an amazing comeback as well, but they lost in penalties against Argentina again, this means that one of the semifinals is finally ready, Croatia vs Argentina, and while Argentina will be the favorite, it would not be easy as Croatia was the runner-up during the previous world cup Brazil - Croatia seems like a very boring game to watch
but I had no other expectations as soon as I saw Croatia qualifying with Japan...Jump to:
