England have one of the best squads in the World Cup now. Their squad is like full of star players. But their main problem is team performance. The players somehow don't manage to play as strong as they do in the English Premier League. This prevents England national team from being more successful. They just can't use the potential I mean. I don't know if this is related to their manager but we won't be able to see it until we witness some changes in the team.

Southgate is rumoured to leave his job after the World Cup. There have been rumours about Steven Gerrard to take the job after that but we will see. I'd rather a very experienced manager for this solid squad rather than Gerrard truthfully.

Today there is a friendly match between Spain vs Jordan. After 67min passed Spain makes 2 goal They put Jordan under pressure from the start of the match to such an extent that it felt like the match was very much a fortnight. And it is also true that today's match was already predictable and now it is being realized.
The game is over and it was a simple test. Luckily no one got injured, so close to the important event in football, that would be extremely crazy. Well, it starts on Sunday and Qatar is playing, I don't care about the game. Portugal also has a testmatch against Nigeria. It is over and Nigeria missed a penalty, final 4:0.

Portugal is currently playing against Nigeria. in a friendly match. before the start of the FIFA World cup. and the score while still 1-0 in favor of Portugal. and Portugal controlled the match more. However, in this match, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be able to compete because he is still recovering from his illness. Looks like Ronaldo has Magg pain. And I think the hot weather in Qatar can indeed make players who are not used to it easily get tired and even sick. But I didn't expect that to happen.

They are probobly saving him for the World cup because this match isnt important at all. But this wins confirms that Portugal looks confident before the start of the World Cup. Bruno with two goals shows that he is in a good form

At the end of the first half, Portugal is leading 2-0. Bruno fernandes scored two goals. But one was from a penalty chance. Bruno's performance was quite good today. But today I wanted to see Ronaldo in the squad.
Well Brunos performance has just been that, nothing much from his performance at Manchester United. He's taking the game with some worth seriousness and still acts like a captain on the pitch, even though he isn't the one captaining this match with Pepe on the pitch  but his goals have definitely given Portugal the edge and Nigeria have done very little to offset that. The best attempts so far fir me is the one from Moses Simon in the first half and a later trier by Samuel Chukwueze in the second half.
With this sort of performance, Nigeria was definitely not ready for the world cup and Ghanaade very certain of it in the qualifiers.

But today I wanted to see Ronaldo in the squad. And I would say this match was very important for Ronaldo as well. Because he did not get much opportunity to play in Manchester United squad. Cristiano Ronaldo is not in good form. Therefore, before the World Cup, Ronaldo had a good chance to return to the form of performing in these friendly matches. But sadly he missed the match.

I don't know why I have this hunch but I think politics may interfere in this year FIFA World Cup. It was a controversial World Cup from the get go by it being giving to Qatar in the first place, but issues like rainbow hand band, restrictions to fans and players in the jurisdictions of Qatar as a country and so many other issues at hand.

Also the players aren't well rested as they would have been if the competition was played in June, and still I don't think the weather helps in any way. I hope for a beautiful game but I think one or two issues may arise.

The number of injuries leading up to this World Cup is not too bad. I expected that we would experience a lot more injuries. Players have suffered minor injuries a few times. Louis van Gaal steals the show with his interviews and fierce responses to certain journalists. A box has now also been created on livescore.com with results about the World Cup. The first game of the tournament is in 3 days. I think Qatar is doing everything it can to win this match, with all the consequences that entails. Senegal and the Netherlands are strong opponents in this group. I certainly don't see Ecuador going through to the next round in this group, although it was nice that they finished in the best 4 in qualifying.
As the host country, Qatar will make every effort to go at least past the group stage. But given the likes of team in their group, I don't see that happening so easily for them. The most likely teams to advance with their team from that group are the Netherlands and Senegal. Given the amount of talented players on their team, Ecuador might fare better than Qatar. Although Qatar is the host country, getting into the next round may be quite difficult for them. Even still, since this is football, anything can happen and propel them to the next round.
On papers and analysis all showing Qatar is not good enough to have position in next round, but it's all needed good intention because now with the Injury Sadio Mané Senegal is surely in trouble which is giving them hope for having this spot but still for this they have to play aggressive game and bring down few teams like Ecuador and Senegal which are the toughest competitor.

Qatar is improving things for having bright future in soccer but currently all eyes on them because after spending billions of USD now they are looking for positive end of this event for the fans and their own team as well no doubt on ground many upsets can happen with too many players are capable of having better ending for event with their quality.

Spain won the exhibition match against Jordan 1-3. Still a simple victory, just a shame about the goal against in the last minute of the game. I don't think this was the base team of the Spanish national team, I see some fairly unknown names in it. Perhaps some players will get a rest because they have only just come out of the competition. And on December 31 they can play football again, who actually came up with that? Malta almost beat Greece. Germany has one of the greatest talents in the world, I think Germany should also be counted among the absolute title favourites.

It is not surprising that the Premier League is the league that has contributed the most players to the World Cup because the Premier League is the most popular league at the moment. The level of competition there is so competitive that it is possible for the country to summon its players who are in the Premier League. From a mental perspective, I can also say that the players in the Premier League are better than the current league.

Yes, everyone knows that the English league is the most popular league and there are many great players playing in the English league, but unfortunately with so many players from abroad playing in the English league, not many English players have developed and are unable to compete with international players. . from the outside, even though so far there have been many great players from England, I hope the English national team can talk a lot in this world cup, but to get to the championship I think it will be difficult for England, and the semifinals are probably the highest that England can do in this world cup
I think English players are as good as other countries, it's just that their fundamental problem is the rivalry within the team they defend in the league they bring to their country which causes their game in the England national team to not run optimally. We know that their rivalry within the club is very hot, and it doesn't stop there because it also happens in the national team. If we look to the past, we will find flashy names from the England national team, but their game is far from extraordinary.

I was having a random discussion with someone at along the way and he said he's seen news of Qatar involved in corrupt act before the world Cup against Ecuador which is to be held on Sunday. That they paid some big money to seven players of Ecuador to rig the match and game, can any help me share a link if this is true, I would love to read the full gist on it. Checking the odds it's on the side of Ecuador which means they should win if they don't involve in corrupt ways

It's kind of a game of entertainment for Spain, but Spain also plays seriously. Seeing the statistics of the match between the two countries is very much different. From ball possession to accurate passing, Spain won absolutely. What is quite surprising is that Spain committed more fouls this time. Despite all that, Spain is still early days and they are getting ready for the real match.

I quite agree with you on this part as football can be funny and hard to guess. When pitted with countries like Netherlands and Senegal, I'd doubt they would be able to compare but since it's their first time hosting a tournament as big as this, their morales can be boosted and surprisingly their squad can help them move past the group stages.
Yes, it's true that the trophy is difficult to predict. Remember South Korea in 2002 as the host, in the same group as Portugal, Poland and the USA, most people predicted that Portugal would lead the standings & Poland would be runner up. most hope that South Korea can win the first time in the world cup by beating USA and the result:
South Korea vs Poland 2 - 0
South Korea vs USA 1 - 1
South Korea vs Portugal 1 - 0
Portugal & Poland, which are more favored, did not even qualify for the second round.
It is not impossible that Qatar could be like South Korea in 2002.

I don't think easily for Argentina can earn maximum with 9 points at group stage with strength national team opponent like Mexico, last match winning from UEA I don't think serious because weakness opponent for Argentina and both team try to play safety take care their player without get injury few days later for World Cup. I think Argentina will faced difficulty lead first standing in group C, have opportunity for Mexico can dominance and not forget with Poland have Lewandowski and make little surprise for Argentina.

The winner in group C will opponent with runner up in group D and seems if Argentina qualify to next round with 1st standing position have chance easy opponent, likely in Group D France national team easily can lead first standing position.
I think Argentina can do it as long as they can maintain their form, Argentina are the seeded team in group C to go to the next round as group winners. Mexico is not too strong for Argentina, they can definitely control the game to score three points. Poland has Lewandowski, but Lewandowski alone is not enough to offset Argentina strength.

Poland appearance which is still up and down gives Argentina a great chance to dominate. Argentina productive attack line can make the difference between the two teams. Argentina has a great opportunity to qualify for the last 16 as group winners, dealing with the runners up in Group D gives Argentina an advantage because they will get easy opponents. France, who joined Group D, will secure the position of group winner easily.

Honestly, I expect Argentina to pass to the next stage with 9 points.
Argentina are one of the favorites to win the world cup, so the group phase is not a thing to them, it is easier for them now that they are in a very easy group, but even though they were in a stronger group, i still expect them to quality from it, only that they may not be able to do it with maximum points. The Argentine players have been talking about going to 'war for Messi', and that they are ready to give everything they have to make sure they win the tournament for Messi and for his legacy, that is going to give them some boost, and we will probably see Argentina in the final, my dream final is actually Brazil v Argentina, if this match happens, the entire world will stop for it for 90 great minutes.
What a final it will be, the two teams am supporting playing against each other at the final. I love this generation of Argentina players in the national,they don't have the Aguero,Tevez,Higuian but they are very tight as a unit,they won the Copa America together, and they always want to win for Messi, I think that's the difference between them and the past Argentines, you hear players like Christian Romero saying they fight for Messi,you hear Martinez the goal keeper saying they have to win the Copa America because Messi needs to have a trophy for the national team.

Argentina really gave other countries to avoid them from meeting in the last 16 later, at least yesterday's trial match made Argentina satisfied with the score they achieved, it was a big win for Argentina in the trial match, of course that would be their benchmark for dealing with  his opponent..
It's a good last friendly match for Arghentina before World Cup. Another good news is no injury case from that friendly match and they will start the tournament with mostly best players.

Quote
Maybe what Argentina has to watch out for are Poland and Mexico, because these two countries will provide resistance that will make it difficult for Argentina to have big points in Grub C, I hope Saudi Arabia, can provide fierce resistance for Argentina, so that in grub C there are really grub that don't  in the eyes of some people, in order to provide an interesting spectacle, for ball connoisseurs.
I think Arghentina won't have issue with Saudi Arabia and Poland but Mexico can make a surprise in this group. Poland is a team which rely too much on his captain and main striker, Lewandowski. I have no single doubt that Lewandowski is still one of best strikers globally but in some recent big tournaments, we can get a fact that he can not carry Poland in big tournaments. Honestly, it is easy to have formation and strategy to constrain Lewandowski if a team he is playing for totally depends on him. Playing for Poland and Bayern or Barcelona is very different for Lewandowski. At clubs, he got so many supports but at Poland team, he does not receive enough support from his team-mates.

Mexico can be a big surprise in this group and they are too familiar with Arghentina as they are both Latin American teams.
