The match between Portugal vs Morocco became difficult to predict after Morocco stopped Spain in the last 16. The Morocco vs Spain match took many victims on the bet. Most people believe that Spain will win the match. This condition also makes it difficult for us to predict the next match between Portugal vs Morocco. At the 2018 world cup, Portugal narrowly won over Morocco, of course at that time the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo was still performing very well compared to today.
It is debatable when people think it is difficult to predict the result of the match Portugal vs Morocco.
For me, it is clear that Portugal has a bigger chance to win because Portugal has a better squad and they just played impressively. They even don't rely on Ronaldo anymore, they already have many top players. Gonçalo Ramos, Bruno Fernandes, João Félix, Rafael Leão, and Guerreiro seem to perform better than Ronaldo in the current world cup tournament. Just look at their stats!

In my opinion, Netherlands vs Argentina and England vs France are more difficult to predict. All of them are big teams and they have quality players in all lines (defense, midfield, attacking), also they performed well lately. I assume the winner of these matches are the teams that have better preparation and play more confidently.



I guess the 4 teams in the semifinal round are Portugal, Netherlands, France, and Brazil.  Grin

When a football match comes to plenty then it is anyone's game because a single miss can cost the match to the team. Spain were unlucky not only in the plenty kicks and but also in the Extra time. In the 120th min of the match, Spain hit a ball which hit the pole of the net and did not go into the goal. If that ball was put into the net, tat would have been all over for Morocco.

Also when it comes to the plenty kicks, Morocco goal keeper did a good job stopping the three plenty's and helping their team reaching the Quarterfinals for the very first time.
Apparently, penalty is a game of luck but, you've still got to approach it with certain technique and that's why, not just anyone is given the chance to take the kick. Morocco did make everyone African and fans that crave for entertainment proud yesterday. This is what could have been the story of Japan when they faced Croatia in that shootout but, the Japanese team was not as good and so, they missed there golden opportunity.
So unexpected but yet, H. Ziyech was prepared to make it happen and redefine his status in the clubside football with his performance in the world cup. The mighty Spanish team is out!
In terms of the quality of the players, actually Morocco can be said to be decent in my opinion even though some people might only know about Hakimi or Ziyech but their players are actually quite good because they are competing in the top league competition at the moment.
Indeed Morocco is now really in the spotlight which many people will surely see especially for the people of Africa. Even if they fail, they will still be proud.

Agree with what you said, but on the other hand, Portugal and Morocco are also currently a little more difficult to predict, especially with Morocco's slick performance and being a real dark horse by blowing Spain.

It's the same as when Arabs and Japanese managed to make the bettors cry and now Morocco is making it back.
The Portugal Morocco match is certain the bookies will be in Portugal but the problem is whether this will go well or does it have to come back making this a victim of the odds.
But indeed I'm pretty sure I'll be back with Portugal even though Morocco is completely unpredictable.

Well I think the same thing for this match can't be predicted because I'm worried that Morocco will play defensively which will trouble Portugal
This could have happened like when Portugal was defeated by South Korea and here Morocco is certainly better than South Korea.

Now in the top 8 we will definitely see more interesting matches and of course Argentina against the Netherlands and England against France will be one of the interesting things to watch because these are indeed 2 big matches in my opinion.
France may be the strong candidate to continue to the next semi-finals. They have strong squads and are solid enough so far. Although we cannot guarantee it because everything may happen during the match, if we are seeing from the lineups and strategy so far, France may become one of te strong candidates. But I cannot deny that England is also a big team to face and will not be easy for beating them.

On the other hand, the Netherlands is also strong enough, I am sure that Argentina will face difficulties in defeating the country. This will be a very interesting match. I can't wait to see how Messi can bring his team-mates to win this match. 
This could possibly happen but there seems to be a bit of a problem as their current and world cup top scorer Mbappe has been absent from training to focus on the semi-finals due to a slight problem in his foot.
Hopefully he will still be able to continue playing because in this case it will be a loss for them if this player cannot compete, especially if you look at the matches from the group phase until now, England is the strongest team they will face so far.

The point is not that Morocco is a good or bad team, the point is that Spain was a strong team and they are now out of this world cup.

You can see the difference between the two teams by the fact that Spain was the world cup winner in 2010 while Morocco never reached the quarterfinal of any world cup prior to 2022. This is the first time Morocco has managed to reach the quarterfinals and this is a great achievement for them.

That's true. But for a strong team, all Spain players were very bad at the penalty shootout. You can't miss three penalties and advance to the quarters. I don't know how they decided which players will take the penalties, but all of them were very bad at it.

I saw some media journalists saying about this cup being totally predicted at least into the quarters, but soccer did it again, against all odds Morocco are alive and strong
I'm glad there's an African team representing the continent

Quarter-finals

1 African
2 South Americans
5 Europeans

I'm trying to predict next 4 games, but it's hard hahaha

The world cup unfortunately is quick enough to not give time to enjoy some results, I'm still shocked with some matches but now look, we are at quarter finals already

Looks at the charts right now, bye bye Germany, Spain and Uruguay



There's 4 world champions, and 4 teams which never win

I still cannot digest Spain went home the way it did.
I actually gave my vote in this thread about seeing Spain the finals... So many teams I thought they would over-perform are gone now, among all the alleged scandals, etc. This world cup is being quite unpredictable.

I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup. Let me just wish them success next time, although they did their best to advance far than this in this World Cup. Unpredictable events are one of the things that keep football fans throughout the world interested in the game. What a shock to see Spain leaving so soon!
More shock and disappointment have happened throughout the tournament. This time it is Spain to experience it. No one expected Morocco to win against Spain. During the 90 minutes on the field Spain could've made the goals. They missed it and Morocco did it well finally. Upcoming matches are going to be very interesting, and here to some shocks can happen.
losing on penalties was actually not something to be ashamed of because Spain had played as best they could until the end of extra time, especially Morocco, their defense was very good and Spain didn't manage to penetrate it, and even created many opportunities between the two but didn't produce anything because both of them also had a strong defense

Netherlands can concede on theor backing I'm leaning towards Messi magic here.

But in terms of France I can't see them losing here.  Will be a tough match but Mbappe has had his coming put party.  I think it continues and is my odds on for mvp of the world cup after they double up on world cup victories here.

Secretly hoping Morocco makes a splash, who doesn't love an underdog??

Brazil and Croatia are actually one of the matches that I'm comfortable with Brazil because in any case it's an advantage for Brazil from all fronts but for the other two matches I find it a little difficult to predict.

As for Brazil, they currently have a really good squad because their core players and reserves are all very good.

If to tell the truth their game in the last 16 against Morocco was not very satisfying for 90 minutes of normal time and was quite disappointed that in fact they were the favorites but couldn't play more in exploiting the field because they were only in the middle they played more ball.
On the other hand, in this case, the mentality of kicking a penalty must clearly be taken into account, in my opinion, although in this case the goalkeeper from Morocco also played very well.

It is true that nothing can be guaranteed in sports especially football.  Because many good teams can lose at any time.  
Sometimes, every team has different solidity and consistency during the match on the field. SOme other factors may be also influencing. However, the tense of the World Cup is exactly different from the League matches. So, this may also influence all players in the team which probably not all very talented players.
But, for the match between Croatia vs Brazil, I really expect that Brazil can make the victory.

I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup.
This was also what made me surprised. I am not sure that Spain will be one of the teams in the final. But I was really surprised that Spain will be lost to Morocco in round 16. I thought they will probably get into at least the quarter-finals. So did Germany. So many surprises here, right? But for now, I really appreciate all teams n the quarter-finals. They deserve this and they are all big teams.

The coach of the Portuguese team surprised me. Ronaldo had to come on as a substitute in this match. I think it was a big risk. But it worked. Without Ronaldo, Portugal played quite well in this match. The young and talented football player Goncalo Ramos who was started ahead of Ronaldo,  had a very good performance. The first hattrick in the 2022 Qatar World Cup was scored by Goncalo Ramos. Does G. Ramos has the potential to replace Ronaldo?
Fernando Santos (Portugal coach) applied a smart strategy. He knows that Switzerland must think Ronaldo will be a starter, so Switzerland team prepared a strategy to deal with Ronaldo in the field. But they are wrong because Ronaldo sits on the bench. It must surprise them, so they prepared the wrong strategy. They have no idea about G. Ramos since this player rarely plays as a starter. So, it makes G. Ramos easier to penetrate the defense line of Switzerland team and he even can make 3 goals + 1 assist.

I too had thought Spain had a shot at reaching the World Cup finals if not to win the finals but I guess I thought wrong. This World Cup, like you rightly said is quite unpredictable as countries generally seen as underdogs are beating their opponents. Lots of teams I thought had a chance reaching the quarter finals have now been defeated and eliminated from the competition. I had voted for France on the thread but I honestly didn’t expect Spain to be out at this stage. This World Cup is unpredictable and in my opinion, that makes it really exciting

There are always surprises in every competition, that's normal and now we look forward to the winner of the World Cup, is it Brazil , France or England?
England and Netherlands is the most consistent country never lost so far, are they reliable? but usually the winner of the tournament is the player who occupies the top score and for now Mbappe is top scorer with 5 goals while Saka, Cody and Messi only scored 3 goals.
