UAE   0 : 5 Argentina

Enjoyed Argentina vs UAE friendly so far. Argentina's players have performed very well. Argentina won a great 5-0. Di Maria's performance was excellent. He scored two goals and one assist. On the other hand, Messi scored a goal and an assist. Also the performances of players like De Paul, Otamendi and Allister were very good. In this way, if Argentina is able to continue the performance, then Barcelona will win every match in the group stage. Argentina has talented players in defense, midfield, and forward and all are in good form.

I like how Di Maria played as well, if he plays like that in the tournament that would boost Argentina's chances. Julian Alvarez also played good, he's still getting international experience. Argentina should've played against a better team though, this was not a good test. United Arab Emirates have no quality players. Probably opening game for Argentina will be similar to this friendly. Saudi Arabia is almost same level as UAE, they are just slightly better.

which player do you think will win the golden boot and score the most goals in this tournament?
will it be one of the favorites (like Benzema or Mbappe) or maybe someone you don't have on your radar right now?


In this case, I actually still feel that the golden boot now depends on which national team will now shine.
Mbappe and Benzema are indeed quite good strikers, but the problem is seeing the current condition of France I feel a little pessimistic as well as Kane in England who are always unlucky for competition.
I think the Brazilian and Argentinian players are still quite strong considering their team's performance was also very good in qualifying but it does not rule out that there are other names too such as players from Holland, Belgium or maybe Germany who will be in front later.

Croatia won an exhibition game 10 minutes before the end. It doesn't say much, but it's better to win such matches than lose for self-confidence. I expect an equal match between Qatar and Ecuador. By the way, it is still pretty good that Ecuador has qualified, you have a strong selection of teams in the Americas nowadays. Colombia has fallen far behind in qualifying in recent years. They even finished 6th in qualifying, behind Peru. They have brought that on themselves by winning only 2x in the last 5 games. Uruguay could also eliminate a title favorite at the World Cup. It would be nice for the country if Qatar managed to win the opening game.

ya.ya.yo!

Is it even ideal to have these world cup qualified teams play against teams that couldn't make it through the qualifiers?
Like, you've got everything to lose and they've got nothing to lose for a game of no significance. Probably they won't have to play with there first team (at qualified teams) but the chances of injury to the few that participated remains a risk still.

I'm not sure if Messi can score more goals in the world cup which will be held in a few days. Messi is unable to score goals without accurate assists. Messi can't do that alone. If he is more active, of course he will be guarded more strictly by opposing players so that the chances of the goal are no longer on Messi.
It's likely his last world cup, the one trophy he lacks and putting in work to push his Argentine squard to the finals if possible won't b lacking. Argentina remains a good team still and Messi seeking individual glory in terms of performance and goals which I think he would deliver on, is some way to help the team as well. Should his team mates play with same intent with a coordinated team work, they could go far in the competition.

Messi will actually wrap up more goals because of the weaker group opponents he has.

The match felt one-sided in this regard, I don't know why even though Argentina didn't dominate the ball too much and the tempo wasn't too fast, seeing their attacks like this was clearly very good in my opinion.
Di Maria also performed brilliantly in this match with the brace he created, this was a pretty good capital as a warm-up for the world cup.

I hope Messi, he looks so ready to help his country succeed this year for the World Cup. I like to call them the favorites, but I have to admit some of the other favorites like Ronaldo, Neymar and Mbappe really deserve it too. I have a reason why Messi looks good to be my favourite, it's because Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland are behind them in terms of player quality. This is only limited to the group stage.

Messi will actually wrap up more goals because of the weaker group opponents he has. But Neymar will come good because he has creative team around him. Concerning Mbappe I feel he wouldn't be the pointed man like last World Cup because of the presence of Benzema. Mbappe might be pushed to wing to create room for Benzema and both players will have to share the goals between themselves. With France also lacking creative Mildfielders the chances created might be reduce compare to last time.

Good result for Argentina, they have had an unbeaten run for over ten games, and it is a good thing none of them got injured, that would have been a really terrible news for them. I believe they can carry this performance into the world cup, it will make them more of a candidate for the winner of this year's competition. For Messi who has never won the world cup, a victory for Argentina this time around will be the crown on all the medals he has gotten from a very good career in football over the years.
Brazil and Argentina seem to have to be included in the OP poll, not just a number of European countries which in my opinion cannot advance to the semifinals to the final. I really feel Argentina and Brazil got a lot of support in this year's world cup because of the great team performances. So it would be nice to put one of them as favorite.

Messi scored 7 goals during qualifying in the Conmebol zone, while Neymar scored 8 goals. It was quite convincing that they both appeared with their best performance in this year's world cup because the performance of both of them at the club level was also good.

Argentina literally had an exhibition game. You can't call this match a showdown. It is typical that you choose an opponent where you know you will not lose. I am also curious who will be the top scorer of the tournament. The bookies think Harry Kane, but why not Mbappe or Benzema? The number of goals in qualifying doesn't say much. If you are with a country like San Marino and you score 4 goals, what does that mean? Incidentally, I also heard that Senegal is number 20 on the FIFA ranking. Quite a high rating for this African country. What I also heard is that they managed to eliminate France in 2002. They are hungry for success, with Mane, the man in form but also the man who got injured unfortunately. I don't know if he can play the first game right away.

Yeh absolutely right Argentina has absolute phenomenal young talent in Medfield as well as defense and strike too. These young will make the future bright for Argentina nation team. I think the technique and dedication of Argentina coach Lionel scolani is at another level because after his joining the Argentina team perform too well , Argentina previous Copa America  results are strong evidence of Lionel scolani best coaching.
I think Argentina are strong contender for world cup this time and these friendly matches performance can make Thier moral Stronger.

I still find Luca Modric on the squad, He is 35 old year which I think is not good again to run to get the ball. better to put him on the front together with Mandzukic. but the formation I look, Modric will play as playmaker to supply a ball to front. so when meet Maroco where have Ziyech and Hakimi, there will be surprise if draw. We have to forget Croatia as finalist long time ago because they have the old player inside.

Luka Modric still plays good even though he is 35 years old. He is playing as a playmaker and he is still Croatia's best midfielder. The team doesn't look the same with him in the team or without him.

You mentioning Mandzukic shows that you have no idea about Croatian team. Mandukic stopped playing for Croatian team after they finished at the second place in Russia four years ago.

Is there any place to make this bet on golden boot?

In my opinion Neymar and Messi are more favorite because I think they will get to at least semi-finals
Mbappe and Benzema are strong enough to be the favorites too, but I don't think France will be at semi finals due to injured players (Kantee and 3 more)
Ronaldo and Portugal I don't believe too, and Harry Kane can make some noise, but I think it's hard to be the golden boot

Pay attention to Viny Jr from Real Madrid.

Seeing Argentina's game in this match they are very promising to be able to show their best game at the Qatar World Cup. But usually friendly matches with real competitions will be very different, yes the pressure will be more felt because they are required to win in every match. High tension will drain them physically as well as mentally. And one more thing that shouldn't be forgotten, field fever will still very likely happen to the players so they can't show their best game.

Why is Italy in the poll above the forum thread? They didn't qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Grin Three people voted for them.
It hasn't been updated by the OP and after this post the OP will fix the team that will be included in the vote in this thread.

Quote
Anyway, many people think that Argentina is a favorite for winning the World Cup, but the Argentinian team doesn't impress me.
Messi is far from his best years and Argentina doesn't have the great players from the previous years like Aguero or Tevez.
I expect the unexpected in this World Cup. Perhaps some outsider team would reach the final and win the trophy.
I support the Netherlands or Denmark. England has the potential to reach the semi-finals at least.
Messi is an old story and in this World Cup he will look different from the 2010 World Cup, 2014 and 2018. Of the many stories of Lionel Messi with Argentina in the World Cup tournament, 2014 was his best effort to help Argentina become runner-up.
Considering that the 2022 tournament will be held in Qatar, it is likely that there will be a lot of surprises due to the weather.
If I understand correctly, they will play in the evening or at night, so they were comfortable, and given the fact that it almost never rains there, I think just with the weather won't be a surprise.

of course Messi is not as young as in 2014, but over the years not a single player of similar quality to Messi (and Ronaldo) has appeared.
There are many talented and gifted players, but I don't see the likes of these two.
All the more good that at PSG Messi has made great strides and hands out assists like he did in his best years at Barcelona.

Harry Kane has found his rhythm again this season that 12 goals was belongs to him at premier league from 15 matches this indicated there is good opportunities to Kane will continue his achievement because he is England captain and always be playing regular and as top scores status on world cup 2018 he will counted as one of the players who scoring more goals for England for the current world cup and actually if we talking about England they are is not in the good shape because on Nation League this team has been relegated and from this tournament Southgate have to proven he can improved England performance moreover England at group B with Iran, United States and Wales which is on the paper England as the strong candidate qualified to the next round
Haaland changed the idea of "good number of goals to score so far" that when I see him at 18-20 goals or something, and even more when you consider totals, Kane didn't even look that great to me, it looked like he was having a bad season and that’s it, nothing more.

In reality he is of course good, and I am sure he would be good for England as well, he is a good player and he will continue to be a good player for a long time and will help them during world cup as well. They do have great scorers on wings and midfield as well so it will not be only Kanes issue to score, he will get a lot of help from other positions when the team needs a goal as well so passing is very important too.

It is hoped that the focus of the players can completely shift to the sporting aspect. And the fact that we don't hear questions about the workers from those interviewers every day doesn't make the situation any better. I even think that journalists should be banned from repeating these kinds of questions repeatedly, it should only be about football this tournament. it is otherwise overshadowed by the events of recent months and years, that would be probe for the tournament. Argentina is maybe better than people think, as this counts for Belgium as well.
