Brazil still have one of the best squads among all the participants of the World Cup now. They just need to have a more solid game plan to win the title this time. They are highly favoured for the title now and they shouldn't let down people's expectations about them. I still remember their big embarrassment against Germany. However they aren't like that now. If we see a finale between these two teams this time my favourite would clearly be Brazil.

I think Brazil has had the best team on paper at every World Cup since 1990. However, they haven't had much success lately. Neymar will also be hungry for a world championship. This year they are again the big favorites. All their players all play for major European top clubs. But France is about as good as Brazil. The 2014 World Cup was a big blow for Brazil, and in 2018 they lost to Belgium. This year I think it will be between France and Brazil. But the question is whether Brazil has a good team collective, the French usually have more and the English too. Belgium has become less strong.
Brazil 🇧🇷 is known for their excellent record in the world Cup and also known for producing bunch of decent players in every world Cup. Their pattern of play which is Samba football is also seen in players like Neymar and Vinicius Jr where they like to go solo and penetrate the defence. It is also wise you mentioned France, I strongly route for France over Brazil in this world Cup.
Whenever I remember France attacks, I am always shocked and imaginative of what they will perform in the world Cup.

Think of;
Benzema,
Mbappe,
Greizemann,
Coman,
Nkunku,
The likes of;
Diaby,
Martial,
Dembele
Giroud
Are still available. Let's watch out

There is no doubt right now we have one of the best team from Brazil after few decades because they won last time in 2002 and after this we have the worst time for them specially when they lost against Germany at home one of the worst defeat for them, and now it's time for them to bring back some golden era memories because their current squad is also having few good quality players even still we are missing players like we have 30 years back, but this is going to take some time because now this is not easy job for them to bring perfect replacement for all legendary players.

Currently, Neymar is also having some good ambitions like Messi and Ronaldo for his team, let's watch who is going to have trophy because it's not easy time for any team to compete in this mega event.

Brazil is the favorite in every world championship, but they always lack something to go all the way and become world champions.

Yes this is the main problem for Brazil now. They have had difficulties when it comes to winning the World Cup. It has been long years since they won this cup. They have a very capable squad in their hands actually but they need to get prepared very well for the World Cup. European teams have been more experienced about making it to the title for a long time. Therefore a difficult job is waiting for Brazil even though they are shown as the biggest favourite.

Brazil was the team with the best squad in the world, especially when it had stars such as Ronaldo Nazario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu during its legendary squad.  There is an individual talent in this tournament, too.  But the Brazilian spirit at that time seems to be missing.  If they fix this deficiency, they have the power to become champions.  They have to eliminate the European teams.

There has always been home or advantage on every country hosting a cup finals just because they want them to go far abit in the tournament but they may not actually win the final stage because by them things could have been gone tougher than expected, i so much believe that that's just the only way to encourage and compensate the hosts as it may not sound well getting knocked out at the early stage, it's a on rare case seing the host country getting to final or winning the cup.
Qatar are in a group with opponents like Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal, to be honest those three teams are very strong in my view. Even though Qatar is the home team but still, if Qatar always loses points then Qatar will not qualify for the next round. Unless Qatar can at least get points in every match even though it is a draw then there is a possibility that Qatar will qualify, but if I consider the opponents in the group, Qatar will only be a point barn for the three opponents, especially regarding the Netherlands.

I know that a lot of people really don't like watching smaller or weaker teams playing in the world cup just because they are hosting the tournament. But I personally don't have any problems with that because it at least gives them a chance to show their talent on the big stages. And this is the biggest stage of all.

So it is always great for a team that is not doing well at the moment to show some great skills and get noticed by the whole world. If that was not the case two things could have happened-

  • The country which is hosting the world cup probably would have been out of the world cup before even actually playing in the world cup.
  • Smaller teams or weaker games would never be able to host any world cup.

you are right. If Qatar had not been the host country, it would have been almost impossible for Qatar to qualify for the next round from this group. But they will play at home. At the same time, as host countries, they may be able to exert some influence over FIFA and the referees. And so it is not impossible for them to qualify for the next round. Also, the Qatari team is not too weak. They can play well.

England played solidly from the match statistics I think England can go through the preliminary round smoothly but I doubt England can qualify for the semifinals. 

France are not showing their best form but they are a solid team and have an above average quality striker. overall we will never know what will happen later after the tournament runs. only a few months left for the tournament to be held I can't wait to celebrate it.

England have a really solid lineup actually. They have one of the best lineups in the World Cup. However their problem has been consistency so far. My expectation from them is going to be to fix this in the World Cup. If they still have issues about this then it would be difficult for them to make it to the finale. When it comes to France they are one of the absolute favourites for the title. Right after Brazil they are the second biggest favoured team for this. As long as they have a strong game plan I don't see any reason for them not to be in the finale.

England have been very good in the last two major competitions, the World Cup and the European Championship and they played in the semi-finals and the final.
This world championship will show whether they are ready for the last step and attack for the title or not.
France played very badly in the last European Championship and in League of Nations and there are obvious problems between the players in the team.
If they do not solve these problems, they will not be favorites in Qatar.
Brazil is the favorite in every world championship, but they always lack something to go all the way and become world champions.

Players of African origin are among the superstars of global football. But most of them represent European or Arab national teams. I am talking about players such as Romelu Lukaku, Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema,    Presnel Kimpembe, Paul Pogba and Serge Gnabry. Imagine how well the African teams could have performed, if these players actually represented their country of origin. I understand that most of them have European citizenship and in some cases they were born there. But it is a loss for the African teams.
Descendants of blood that come from 2 countries that make them free to play wherever they choose, it would be very good if they were there but it could result in their being unlucky because sometimes the selection of the national team is also quite influential in my opinion, because maybe if they chose the wrong national team his career also changed.
For example, if we look at the Boateng brothers, even though Kevin Prince is great, it is quite difficult to surpass Jerome Boateng's achievements there because sometimes the chosen country is also influential.

If I would ever get a chance to ask from world famous Messi or Ronaldo than the only question would be -- do you know all the Soccer fans want you to play like super heros in every match. Do you have that on your mind while playing and how do you cope up when you are unable to perform well in an match. After all they are human too. Smiley

We are talking about two of the most experienced footballers and I don't think that they can be put under pressure. They have been playing at the highest level for almost two decades and by now they can handle pressure better than anyone else. But the expectation from fans will be there as a burden. These players do have superhuman status in front of the eyes of football fans and sometimes people forget that they are human and are prone to making mistakes. But this tournament is very important for them, because it is going to be the last world cup for both these players.

I'm not so sure about that.
It's not the same to play for Barcelona, Real, Juve or PSG, where you play with the best footballers in the world and everyone can solve the game, or to play in the national team where you have weaker teammates and everyone is waiting for you to do something on your own and solve the game.
Also, it's not the same to play for a club or for your national team, when you represent your nation.
I think that even Messi has a special pressure because all the fans in Argentina compare him to Maradona and until Argentina finally wins the title of world champion, Maradona will always be considered better and bigger than him.
Yes, I think that's one of the things that puts more pressure on Messi, Messi undoubtedly has a lot of pressure, more so since he lost the final with Argentina, if they don't manage to consolidate in this World Cup it will be a great failure for him, if things they are not given to him, he would have to retire and always say that he was never up to Maradona's level, although I think that he should not be compared to Maradona since he used to use and that is something that does not look very good, many can say and discredit it that Maradona did because they can say that it was under the influence of drugs and it is very clear, and it is very difficult to knock that fact down, while Messi has never had a drug problem, so I think that makes him more valuable.

But, I am feeling they are not good enough because Asian soccer is still not good and stable like we have in Africa and UEFA and CONMEBOL is much superior from them even now few countries in the Middle East and South East Asia spending good amount for development of soccer but still it's a long way to go for them because It's going to take very long time with this Africa could be in much superior position because now they are also spending good amount on their domestic set up which is very important for them.

So, here most chances Qatar are having no chance of any point but if they play in excellent way then we can expect one point from them against Senegal with most chances match could be ends in draw.

A long time ago I was thinking that when African players go to Europe if they succeed, but it is as Balotelli says, that African players should not go to Europe to stay playing more powerful football in Africa, because the players who leave do learn a lot of different styles, but they neglect the football that makes them go to the World Cups, and it is necessary to strengthen the teams that go to the World Cups, for example in this case we do not have the privilege of seeing Nigeria in QATAR.

I think Qatar is a bit better than what most people in the west think.

For example, Qatar ranks between Ecuador and Paraguay in the FIFA rankings. Qatar is ranked 49, Ecuador 44, and Paraguay 50.

So that tells you that it's basically around the lower teams of South America. That's not too bad as South America has a great talent

France and Brazil are the absolute favorites among the bookmakers. In any case, France has achieved something in recent years by becoming world champions. But Brazil? They haven't done anything for a long time. At least not at the World Cup. The last overall victory dates back to 2002! 20 years ago already. The final must have been around this time today. It is clear that Brazil still has great players. But you often see that they do not function fully as a team and you see that more and more in other countries. Brazil is so strong individually that you don't always have to be good as a team. Players like Neymar can decide matches on their own.

I think, Brazil will definitely achieve this season title because all their potential players are fully ready to join the team to ensure they demonstrate well through out the tournament. Brazil coach has promised their country that he will do everything possible within his power to win this FIFA world cup title this season, by introducing all those 2001 strategies that helped the team to won many trophies 20 years ago. Based on the potential squads on ground in Brazil to participate in this FIFA world cup competition showed Brazil will not allow any team to defeat them through out this tournament than to achieve victory from every match.

I have some doubts about Portugal to be honest. Because they had difficulties in qualifying for the World Cup directly and they made it by the playoffs. Of course there is a lot of time for getting prepared for the main tournament now but we will see about that. England and France are both solid teams undoubtedly. They both have big potentials to make it to the finale but each one of them need to put a huge effort into it. When it comes to a finale like Brazil - Argentina I don't think it would be better than the other version of the finale. Because we see this matchup very often in the tournaments in South America already.  Grin


I think Portugal's game is not solid, the last few matches have not shown their best performance, to be honest I doubt Portugal can qualify for the round of 16 seeing that Uruguay and South Korea will give their best resistance.

England played solidly from the match statistics I think England can go through the preliminary round smoothly but I doubt England can qualify for the semifinals. 

France are not showing their best form but they are a solid team and have an above average quality striker. overall we will never know what will happen later after the tournament runs. only a few months left for the tournament to be held I can't wait to celebrate it.

Not sure whether Qatar is really as good as the rankings suggest. Historically, Asian teams such as Saudi Arabia and Iran have performed poorly in the world cup. And Qatar is not even considered as one of the top tier Asian teams. On the other hand, Ecuador and Paraguay plays a large majority of their matches against strong CONMEBOL teams and that may negatively impact their rankings. But as far as I am considered, Qatar doesn't stand a chance against Ecuador, when these two teams face each other.

For the World Cup title, I wonder how much Brazil and Argentina are going to determined. I have a big expectation from Brazil especially. They have started to impress me quite a lot. They have one of the best squads in this tournament. The thing they need the most is having a solid game plan for the biggest tournament in the world. It would be nice to see them in the final playing against a European team for the title.

In fact, I'm also rooting for a final between Brazil and a European team... there are several interesting candidates, but I'd like to see him face France, Portugal or England.
Of course, a final between Brazil and Argentina would be classic and very interesting, but Brazil lost to Argentina in the Conmebol America Cup, and I wouldn't like to see that happen again in the FIFA world cup.

Finally... I hope Brazil doesn't face Germany, because the memory of him losing 7x1 still gives me nightmares.

I have some doubts about Portugal to be honest. Because they had difficulties in qualifying for the World Cup directly and they made it by the playoffs. Of course there is a lot of time for getting prepared for the main tournament now but we will see about that. England and France are both solid teams undoubtedly.

I have doubt that Qatar can take any point from their group because if they were able to have this then surely it's going to be a huge success for them and their fans because they are the weakest side in this world cup with we all know they are in just because of host country and in their country we have all three teams which are very competitive and have few very exciting players with this all going into PQF is just like a joke they are not going to have one point from here.

Ecuador and Netherlands are going to be fight for top two spots with Ghana is also good team which can create any upset so for Qatar just playing into this World Cup is big honor and now having one point could be the biggest achievement with no chance to go through into PQF.

I think Qatar is a bit better than what most people in the west think.
