The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England. A few old stars of which only a name remains, but their real strength is questionable + a couple of new stars who have yet to reveal themselves, the rest of the players are questionable in general. On paper, Argentina is clearly weaker than the whole group of teams, so I consider it overrated.
As for the assessments not on paper but in practice, it is difficult for me to judge, since Argentina does not often play with serious opponents. Yes, their victory over Italy was good (although it was another dubious match from FIFA), but I don't know if it can play several good games in a row at the World Cup.

Well... let's say that we both have clearly different metrics to use when comparing teams. Among the "old stars", one is a legend and the others such as Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi are in great form. Among the younger generation, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez are winning matches on their own for the team. Anyone who has watched the 2021 Copa America tournament would disagree that they are weaker than Brazil, or for that matter France or England (BTW, they defeated Brazil in the final of Copa).

yee, completely different. Even when Messi was young, I paid more attention to the work of real legends - Iniesta and Xavi. Without them, he is an ordinary good player, but no more, and now his age is making itself felt. Di Maria is good, although Juventus results are bad Cheesy

But I hope he will be in shape for the World Cup. Dybala is Mr. Instability (by the way, he no longer belongs to the younger generation). In general, everything is possible, but every event has chances and I don't see that Argentina's chances are great. And your prediction about the final Brazil - Argentina with a probability of 75% sounds simply shocking to me.

There is no doubt that Brazil is a country producing quality young players, there are many young players in their squad at the moment. But this is a World Cup where the quality of the players is not enough, they have to be mentally prepared for everything that will happen there. I hope this is not a problem for them, and the senior players on the team can provide motivation that can make the juniors more mentally and confident.

About the mentality to be prepared, I'd like to say something
If can pick any squad, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Australia, Ghana etc, from South America to Asia, Africa included, all teams have players with experience playing in Europe.
Of course not all of them are playing in tier A teams like Real Madrid / Manchester City / Juventus etc, but they are in Europe playing among the best, and playing against the best, so the experience is not a problem anymore, in my opinion.

Some years ago it was incredible to see the playing differences against every kind of soccer techniques, like South Americans vs Europeans, or Europeans vs Africans, but today the difference is very hard to see, because players are playing the same championships, coaches are training the teams equally, and there's a lot of foreigners coaching and even playing for another countries.

You forgot South Korea and Japan there but I understand your points. Those countries might not have a lot of players in the A-tier league but they are still very good national teams to meet up with the World Cup level. The level difference is a small margin. I think thanks to the global nature of soccer has become, now the coach's teachings and training regiments can be received from country to country. Before it the EU and Latin America had the best chance to win a World Cup as it was completely their game. Now, this chance can also be seen in other zones, abit small but still there.

It is true that South Korea and Japan are good teams, with my preference being Japan's team but they are going nowhere in this world cup. You can mark my word for it and I can even bet my last money on this. What I envisaged in this world cup is tougher than the two countries and one might crash at the group stage, while the other at the quarter-final.

The only teams that might show some degree of surprise are the ones from the southern part of America, not the Asia extracts.

Wasn't South Korea fourth in the world at the 2002 World Cup?
I remember that at the last World Cup, Japan pretty much tortured one of the favorites, Belgium, in the knockout phase of the competition.
I think that both teams have a chance, but personally I give better chances for a good result to teams from Africa.
I personally have the feeling that at least one African national team could surprise this time and achieve a very good result, especially since they will be playing in climatic conditions that suit them.

I admit that you are right, Japan tried in the 2018 world cup, but did they reach the semi? No, 3-2 against Belgium, which doesn't prove a point beyond that. While the point about South Korea is almost the same thing, they did not get to the semi and Brazil eventually lifted the trophy. We are talking about those that have the chance to lift the trophy, which was what I replied to in my last post.

All the teams would try their best, but luck and professionalism would be seen in some better than others. And those favoured in that aspect are Germany, Spain and South American teams. Also, I don't think African teams would reach final.

I always prefer luck over effort. Because sometimes a good team loses after playing well enough. Anyway, this year's World Cup is expected to be very grand. All teams will try their best. I am expecting good things from Argentina this time. I think luck will help this time. But I wish all the teams the best.

I agreed with you about Asia most chances these all teams are going out of the first round as their quality is not good, and they are not doing some better strategy for improving this even Japan and Korea both involved in good activities with UEFA clubs and importing players from South America but still they are not good enough to face tough challenges right now UEFA is surely ahead after them CONMEBOL and the Africa these are surely at the top and have enough chances for having better results.

We have no other team who win this title other than these two continents South America and UEFA but now in last few years Africa is improving quality and their structure is also having good potential for giving them better results with this we can expect good results from them in future as well.

European and South American national teams have been dominating world football for quite some time now, but I expect that African teams will soon reach their level.
African footballers are already big football stars in the world's best clubs, like Salah or Mane, but their national teams are not yet tactically at the level of the world's best national teams.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ghana came very close to becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, but unfortunately lost the game to Uruguay on penalties after missing a penalty in the last minute of the games.
After that, no African national team came close to reaching the semi-finals, but maybe it could happen at this world championship in Qatar.

Peak and consistent performance are going to vary by the quality of a team both their play and training will show through, hopefully we get a good range of games not erratic results so much from this new setting. 35c would seem to favor the southern or more exotic located teams over players who would not normally train or play in that range of temp. 35c to me isnt normal to be running around for 90 minutes or more, they can cope but how well and for how long I think is going to be natural bias. 15c I would be surprised if that happens but 25c is probably ok for all I guess.
[FAHRENHEIT 59, 77, 95]

Mediterranean countries going to take the best for this temp. Teams that employ players from Africa also take benefit from it. France's national football team, for example, got a lot of players with African origin and they already have a good record so far thanks to that lineup. Latin America also does well in that temp condition. Overall, northern countries have to send their player to the oversea, in countries with similar to that temp, to stay and train over a long period of time to get their players to get used to that temp condition.

I recently saw some reports about Qatar from footballers who have played there. They say it's not as hot there as people think. Okay, during the day it can be 35 degrees or slightly warmer, but when the sun starts to go down it cools down pretty quickly and then the weather isn't that hot at all. I think that is a huge advantage for the teams, so that you can look for a moment of cooling in the evening. That wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I think the last time we had a World Cup in Asia was in South Korea in 2002? But I think it was still very warm in the evening. I don't expect many surprises in the group stage but I am curious what Spain - Germany will be.

From all the weather reports that I've seen, the temperatures in Qatar for the World Cup will be up to 25-30 degrees C, not too hot. Also in terms of minimum temperatures, something like 15-20 degrees C, so overall it seems that the weather conditions are not going to be too bad.

Specially considering that many European countries have been having extreme heat waves now at 40+ degs.

European teams have lost face (and rankings) because of the Nations League Grin

Argentina seems to me the most overrated team of all, plus this streak...can't it be endless? It will be necessary to think about betting on the defeat of Argentina, and in case of failure, increase the bet - the odds will be great, so such a Martingale will not lead to a significant increase in the bet.

Why do you believe that Argentina is over-rated? They have performed exceptionally well ever since Lionel Scaloni took over the coaching duties. And this is also going to be the last world cup for Lionel Messi, and the team will try their best to win the trophy. Apart from Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Ángel Di María and Alejandro Gómez are also in very good form.

IMO, Argentina is the only team that has the capability to defeat Brazil (and they already proved that during the final of Copa America 2021). I am predicting the final match in this world cup between Brazil and Argentina. I don't know who will win, but I am 75% sure about this.

The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England.

I'm not saying that their mentality isn't great, but I'm stressing that they need to be more prepared. The pressure on the team where they play and on the national team will be very different, especially since this is an event that is more prestigious than any competition.
Learning from the experience a few seasons ago, Brazil was crushed by Germany with a landslide score, was their squad inhabited by unqualified players at that time? Obviously not, the players at that time were a squad with star names. But what caused them to be humiliated? That's what I mean.

Maybe you mean the 2014 world cup, where Brazil lost 7-1 by Germany. which at that time brazil was not filled with so many star players.
I will mention the Brazilian players at the time, at the back there were Marcelo, Dante, David Luiz, Maicon, midfielders, Fernandinho, Luiz Gustavo, up front, Bernard, Oscar, Hulk, Fred. this is the line-up when Germany massacred Brazil at that time.

Naturally, Germany won at that time, because at that time Germany had a very qualified depth from all lines and Germany managed to become the champion.
The last meeting between Germany and Brazil was in 2018 in a friendly match with the final score 0-1, and the only goal was scored by Gabriel Jesus in that match.

if i'm wrong you can correct it.

You forget that almost all of Brazil's easy strikers are core players in their respective clubs. which means, they have a mentality that has been tested both at the club and at the national team level.
the only striker who still exists is Neymar who is 30 years old. the rest are young players, as for Firmino, I'm sure he will only be a second-tier player.
as for several other senior players filling the midfield such as Casemiro, Fred, some are in a defensive position.
From statistical records, almost all of Brazil's matches always control the course of the match. that's why they are ranked 1st in FIFA.

So, it's only natural that at this time Brazil is more favored as a candidate for champion candidate, because mentally they are very ready.

I'm not saying that their mentality isn't great, but I'm stressing that they need to be more prepared. The pressure on the team where they play and on the national team will be very different, especially since this is an event that is more prestigious than any competition.

Argentina extended its 35 winning streak with a 3-0 over Jamaica on its preparations for the Qatar World Cup. Argentina is now unbeaten since 2019. I am getting more optimistic for Lionel Messi on his chances of winning a World Cup. This is Messi's last World Cup appearance together with his archrival Christiano Ronaldo but I have doubts on Portugal's ability to win. Argentina is in better position. It is top 3 favorite along with England, behind Brazil and France.

There is no stopping Argentina, they're the best team in the world. A perfect win streak from a solid team. I'm really excited about the coach's tactics, and we're all happy to see the team playing so well. An agreement has been reached with Lionel Scaloni, the head coach of the Argentina team, to extend his contract until June 2026. As a result of his tremendous work with the team, he deserves this award. Lionel Scaloni, thank you so much for your hard work. As long as he is in charge, Argentina will have a good chance of becoming World Cup champion this year.

Scaloni made the Argentina team very strong. We can all see the results of his careful foresight. However, as strong as the Argentina team is, their understanding of the team is much better, due to which they have been playing well. Like everyone else, I hope Argentina will deliver something good.

What an amazing job by Lionel Scaloni. His efforts turning Argentina football into a real championship caliber is legendary, they also have a chance to tie the previous holder Italy at 37 straight wins. With Scaloni renewed for another four years, that is two World Cups for him.

This could be Messi's big chance at finally winning a World Cup. Brazil, their rival in Copa America is also their main rival in this World Cup.

Argentina is not only playing really well, it seems their players really believe they can win the world cup, we also know that luck plays a factor and Group C seems like it is very accessible to them and I do not see Argentina having any kind of problem moving to the next round as the leader of their group, however it seems to me the greatest obstacle for them to win the world cup will be Brazil, which are their eternal rivals in the sport, and personally I hope we get to see a final between the two.

The Guardian has published power rankings for all the 32 teams:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/28/world-cup-2022-power-rankings-32-team-two-months-to-go-qatar

As per the new rankings, Brazil is at #1 position, followed by Argentina and Spain at second and third spot respectively. Brazil has lost only one out of their last 29 matches, while Argentina has gone unbeaten in their last 35 matches. I was surprised to see Netherlands at 4th spot ahead of strong teams such as Germany and England. Another surprise is that Denmark is placed ahead of France. Serbia is placed at #10, and I have a feeling that they are going to be the surprise package this time around (back in 2018 it was Croatia).

European teams have lost face (and rankings) because of the Nations League Grin

Argentina seems to me the most overrated team of all, plus this streak...can't it be endless? It will be necessary to think about betting on the defeat of Argentina, and in case of failure, increase the bet - the odds will be great, so such a Martingale will not lead to a significant increase in the bet.

Why do you believe that Argentina is over-rated? They have performed exceptionally well ever since Lionel Scaloni took over the coaching duties. And this is also going to be the last world cup for Lionel Messi, and the team will try their best to win the trophy. Apart from Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Ángel Di María and Alejandro Gómez are also in very good form.

IMO, Argentina is the only team that has the capability to defeat Brazil (and they already proved that during the final of Copa America 2021). I am predicting the final match in this world cup between Brazil and Argentina. I don't know who will win, but I am 75% sure about this.

Everyone in the football world is impressed by the game of the Argentine team, Scaloni is the mastermind behind it. A complete team has been created through his skills. However, I saw the Argentina team without Messi as a bit weak. But if Messi is in the XI, all the players are playing excellent football. I personally think that Argentina are more confident than they are strong as a team, which is why they have this streak of success.

Argentina is doing amazing job under coach Lionel Scaloni he is already her for four years and now with the extension of four years this is going to be great boost for him and team because with this they will do their best with they already won few trophies, but their main target is World Cup which is surely achievable in presence of Messi many new players will also give their best and try to do good performance even right now they are second in rankings but in quality and skills they are best to compete with Leaders Brazil.

Mostly in Copa América they have good advantage against their arch rivals Brazil but here in World Cup most chances we are going to have tough competition between these two with most chances Brazil feels much better and have good advantage for winning instead of local competition.
