The Brazilian team is well prepared. All the players in their team are playing in good clubs. They are well prepared for the World Cup. Also, players like Neymar are the captain of the Brazil team which will instill confidence in their team.

It seems that Brazil will not participate in the strongest team at the World Cup, if this news is confirmed:

Richarlison is a very important player of the Brazilian national team, a striker and it will be a big handicap for the Brazilian team if he will not be able to play in the World Cup due to injury.
In that case, I give a slight advantage to Argentina, but there are several very good teams at this world championship and small details will decide the final winner.
I personally think that Argentina was stronger at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and closer to the title, but we will see.
A very uncertain world championship awaits us, and apart from Brazil and Argentina, France, Germany, Spain and Belgium are also favourites.

Really? This is quite disappointing as I think many fans want to see a final between Brazil and Argentina, if we take a look at the history of the world cup finals we will see some of the most heated rivalries in the world of soccer, Uruguay-Brazil, Uruguay-Argentina, Brazil-Italy, Italy-Germany, Germany-England and Germany-Argentina, with that last one being the most common final in the history of the world cup, but there is one rivalry which we have not seen at the final of the world cup and that is Brazil-Argentina, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity for this to happen, and now it seems it may not be possible as I think both teams will be the leaders of their respective groups.

As explained in my previous post, the chances are very low to have a final match between these two teams. We may have a semi-final, in case these two remains unbeaten until then. But this time, a clash between these two sides is going to be very close and eagerly fought. Argentina will be sending their strongest squad to the world cup since 1990, and Brazil under Neymar is in top form. On top of that, Brazil will be keen to extract revenge against their humiliating loss to Argentina during the final of 2021 Copa America.

If these two teams end up on top of their respective groups, and then go on to win PQF and QF, then it is possible to have an encounter between these two teams in the semi-finals. But the sad thing is that only one of the teams will be there in the finals. The final will be between one of these two teams (Argentina and Brazil) and probably one team from the UEFA. But the excitement won't be there. As you said, if this happens, then the semi-finals may be more excited when compared to the finals.

Shouldnt be possible when they both come from the same region to never have played each other with their squads ?  Some players surely know each other to some extent and how to counter the others move, people say it would be the best match but I wonder if it could be the worst and/or very random poorly arranged action.  It might even a high quality team cannot stop the other without proper experience to where the opponents best strengths are vs their own defences, it might be a very messy match and then add in the venue Im not sure Im encouraged to bet on matches for this world cup; I will decide at the time after watching a few games.

The probability of these two teams to be the runner up on the points table is very narrow. So, the chance of watching an early finals is high. Both teams are continuing with the wins, and this season of FIFA is going to be much interesting as the schedules have created probabilities for more matches that haven't happened in the past.

That actually makes it even more interesting, as one of the teams has to probably lose one match to end up runner-up in their group. That would be an incredible final.

But more realistically, I can see that both teams will end up as first in their group. That semi-final will probably be an early final.

Ok, I agree with you, the Brazilian team is better in friendlies this year than most European teams, but do you really think that means anything?
Brazil is the main favorite for the title in every world championship, but they haven't been world champions for 20 years, they always lacked something even though they were fantastic in friendly matches.
I remember the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 when everyone expected that Brazil, as the host of the tournament, would use that great advantage and become world champions, but they experienced a disastrous defeat in the semi-finals against Germany.
Mental stability is often more important than other factors in football when equal teams play.
It seems that Brazilian football players play better and easier in friendly matches than in official matches when they are under much more pressure and stress.

Very interesting prediction even though the World Cup hasn't started yet. Brazil is being talked about a lot now because they are believed to be better than any other country participating in this year's World Cup. I want to say that in this World Cup the strength of each country will not be easy to predict, they will definitely save some strength for them to show in the real competition that will soon be held. I am more interested in the team that will be the dark horses now, because they are the part that always attracts attention.

With their performance and teams in groups most chances both teams would be ended at the top of their groups and most chances we will have them in semifinal of this world cup because it's tough games and both will not take any chance to having lost or draw in group stages with this for the second team in final is surely coming from Europe because we have many teams those are doing good job in recent matches and have enough quality and performance can go into final to face these two giants from South America.

Here one thing is sure these two are going to have place into last four and then one team will be able to go into last two which is surely not easy to predict because both are full of talent and skilled players which are going to give their best for this spot.

I am eagerly waiting for such a scenario. It would be a dream match, if Argentina under Lionel Messi faces Brazil under Neymar in the finals of Qatar 2022. But first let us analyze whether such a scenario is possible. Let's assume that both these teams will top their respective groups in the first stage. Brazil is placed along Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G, while Argentina is in Group C alongside Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland. If they win all their remaining matches, then these two teams will face against each other in the first semi-finals on 13th December. On the other hand, if either team finishes as runners-up in their respective groups, then it is possible to have a final between these teams on 18th December.

Yeah, Brazil and Argentina. They both qualified to the world cup without losing a single match. It's incredible really.

Funny thing is that they both never really played against each other, both matches ended up not being played, so maybe the first time they meet each other would be at the final.

While the things are approaching toward the final stages. Fans and players are flying to Qatar - the laws has been changed for the foreigners
There will be alcohol available for 19 hours - for security - Pakistani armed forces squad has reached Qatar
The final touches are being done. Looking fwd for an amazing match a head.

For the prediction process as for me I did not see Argentina go far in this world cup. Remember, in the last world cup even Nigeria scored and won Argentina in the first leg of the group stage. I can only predict on Italy or Germany or any of the above two but let the tournament start first and let us see their legs, tactics and skills before before we should make a conclusion. For now all predictions are null and void. Now if Argentina and Brazil did not even play the stage 2 of the tournament what will you say. So we should not solemnly depend on only these two teams because football is full with surprises and disappointment.

The days are now countdown. The more the days are closer the more the predictions are getting tighter. But I dont why everyone is only supporting Argentina and Brazil, is there no any other strong teams are not in the world cup tournament in the year 2022? Abeg oo!! spread your predictions (bettings) you will not be disappointed or surprise by these two teams.

Well yes, you are right about that, although I really see it difficult for a Brazil vs. Argentina final to take place, although the European teams have not seen themselves very well, they really do show a performance well below the norm, maybe because of the Ntions League they don't want to risk their main stars being injured, it could be a great reason, I think something has to be remembered, this will be the last World Cup for Messi, CR7 and I think for Neymar Jr, so for me the looks they are set on Portugal, Argentina and Brazil, and who I see much better of the 3 is Brazil, but beware, nothing can be said so far, it may be that a European country is keeping many things that they have not wanted to show in the Nations League.


Your point is very valid, for me this is something that can be decisive, I think that a person like Messi had his chance to win the final and he didn't, and I've learned that opportunities in life shouldn't be missed, it's something that they must manage to do so as not to go through moments like this, we cannot forget that Portugal, alongside CR7, is also looking for the same feat and something tells me that the spotlights in the world will be in the sights of Brazil, Argentina and Portugal I don't know, but I think that we can't underestimate the other teams either, that there are many very good ones, these teams can be left out, they have to beat the powerful France, Germany, Croatia, they are icons of world football that promise a lot, And not to mention the Netherlands.

Well, we must not forget that France has always done damage to Brazil, and the Brazilians know it, I imagine that they already have the strategies for all these teams, both for Argentina and for any country that comes to face Brazil, Argentina is a very complete team, but they are in trouble, Dyabala getting injured does not sound good for them, possibly Dimaría noodle too, all this causes some concern for them, Messi's dream I see more and more far away, as About I see it far from the Cup, as a good South American it would be excellent to support Argentina, Brazil, but I cannot ignore Portugal and other countries that give everything on the field.

Now we have less than five weeks and things are going to be more interesting and concerns are also growing more as many players are joining injured players list specially recently we have few big names from Argentina which is surely going to be big concern for them and their title hopes just because of this all right now predicting about any team is not easy because clubs are also doing their best for better results and just because of these injuries are happening and things are going in wrong way for many teams.

Currently, Brazil is having better time with their performance and quality which is surely giving them good advantage and if they are able to stay in this momentum then surely they are going to be at the top, and we will watch another big title for them which is surely possible in current situation which is clearly favoring them in Qatar.

In less than four weeks, we will witness the most prestigious event of football. as you said, our discussion will heat up regarding the favorite team that will win the world cup later in Qatar. and a better team and have enough luck that will only win this championship.

Talking about who will be the contestants in the final, whether it's Brazil vs Argentina or any other team will not take away our enthusiasm as football lovers. besides Argentina and Brazil, there are other teams that deserve to appear in the final later.

however, I believe there is a dark horse team that will make a difference like for example Croatia in the 2018 world cup.
maybe in this world cup, they will repeat their brilliant performance. or maybe the Netherlands, who will be the difference in this world cup. but for sure we have to wait until this celebration is held.

I think you give too much importance to the league of nations and the results of some teams in that competition.
The main focus of all European national teams this year is the world cup, and all other matches are just preparation for that main and most important competition.
The players of France, England and Germany came to the Nations League matches very tired and without motivation. The World Cup will be a completely different story and it will show the true strength and quality of each national team.
France, England and Germany, along with Spain, Belgium, Brazil and Argentina, remain the main favorites of the world championship.

I was all in for Argentina. But then, most of their main players are down with injury at this point. And among them, Dybala's injury seems to be the most serious concern. And there should not be any doubt that Paulo Dybala is a very crucial member of the Argentine squad. In the recent past, the combination of Messi-Dybala-Di Maria-Lautaro have done wonders at international level. I don't know how fit these players will be when the world cup starts. If they are 100% fit, then Argentina would be the only team capable of posing a real challenge to Brazil.
