I have read interesting things about how the host nation is preparing for the tournament. One of the things that is exciting me is the use of robots as the side referees. I want to see how this will work out. I saw a human shaped robot displayed but I do not know if that is the type to be used or one of those funny looking types we often see online. It will be nice to see how robots interact with man to save man. It is the same help we now get from VAR. Before its introduction alot ot people said it would spoil the fun in the game. But we have seen now that it helps the game more than any.
Talking about introduction of robot Into football specifically in the 2022 world Cup it is something I don't see the need in it bringing artificial knowlege simultaneously with a human referee inside the football pitch. Don't you think that there might be some contradictions in decisions in the field.

A situation where the center referee takes on a goal decision while on the other side the robot is raising flag for offside. At the end it will now boils down to VAR taking the final decision. To me that will be a bottle neck procedures and it will only make football look boring. Am sure that not what you want as a lover of football!

Argentina, Brazil and Spain are three countries that are actually quite interesting for me, but sometimes Germany is also so unpredictable that there is always a chance of being favorites if they manage to become group leaders.

Right now I tend to prefer Spain over Germany, but that might change if I really see them not promising enough. Argentina and Brazil are my top choices. For Argentina, I'm sure they won't change much in this world cup. Messi will still be an attacking machine, this is the last world cup for him in my opinion so he has to really try to play well.

I've not watched how this works but if it true that it works according to how it is programed,then it will really be fun,but what I know is using robot as the side referee will kind of make the game dull and people won't enjoy it.
But the good thing  is technology has really improved to this extent,and it is pretty good.

1. Brazil
2. Spain
3. Argentina

We're still some way out from the tournament, but already I'd probably amend my forecast from a couple of months ago. I think Argentina look stronger than Brazil at the moment, and Messi is back on fire after that 5-goals-in-a-single-game performance recently. I'm also tempted to put Germany up there, they may be under-dogs, but their team is improving all the time and they are always a threat in big tournaments.

Revised prediction:

1. Argentina
2. Brazil
3. Germany


... and I will likely be back here to completely change it again in a few months' time Cheesy

FIFA World cup 2022 will be interesting. It will be like a thug of war. Just that my favourite club, Nigerian
Super Eagle has been nocked out in the Qatar qualifiers stage. But i am still hoping to support another club (Country) in the tournament. Preferably, African club, but what I am afraid of is the referees. World cup referees are not friendly with the African Teams. That not withstanding, fair play can bring out the best in the world cup. European clubs, Asian clubs and African clubs are my prediction to win the world cup.

On your own prediction, whom do you think will win the tournament and carry the Golden Cup? Remember every country's plan is to win the world cup tournament but not every team will win and the three (3) best will be selected. And that should be:

1st winner
2nd winner and
3rd Winner.

Say your mind.


1st- Brazil
2nd- Belgium
3rd- France

This is my prediction. Brazil of all time favourite team in FIFA World Cup.Belgium is strong enough to any team in world’s Cup and France also.Brazil played very well all season. I hope Brazil will win this world cup.
Brazil is a very good team and we respect that. However, after showing good responsibility on the playing field, one might expect to win the World Cup.But Argentina is also a very good team. With Spain a much better level team.Nothing can be said in advance of this World Cup, but as a supporter of Spain, I will always expect Spain to win.

Costa Rica ended up winning against New Zealand, with an early but not beautiful goal. So Oceania will be represented by Australia only.

After watching the New Zealand vs Costa Rica match, they both look a bit weak to be honest. Not sure how much will Costa Rica advance in the world cup.

Disappointed with the outcome from the New Zealand vs Costa Rica match. But can't expect much from New Zealand, given the fact that they are outside the top-100 rank as per the latest FIFA ranking. The last time New Zealand managed to qualify for the world cup was in 2010, and trust me back then their performance was not very bad. This time they had a good opportunity to qualify. As you have rightly pointed out, Costa Rica is not a very strong opponent. Anyway, it is almost assured that they will play in the 2026 World Cup (since there is a dedicated slot for OFC).

Qatar 2022 world cup will make some history. From the point of view of match officials, this World Cup will be the first edition in which a female referee will serve. Not only female referees.FIFA is also considering using robot linesmen at the 2022 World Cup Qatar.President FIFA, Gianni Infantino once said it would use a semi-automatic offside determination system. In its application.this task will be carried out by the linesman robot. The linesman robot is a technology that uses ten cameras to track 29 points of each player's body. It is claimed that this technology will make the determination of offsides faster than the current VAR system.

Actually I am glad that Australia managed to qualify. This adds more diversity to the world cup, as Australia represents the Oceania continent (although technically they are part of the AFC). If New Zealand is able to defeat Costa Rica today, it will add more diversity to the world cup. Bad news for CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, but it is good to see teams like Australia and New Zealand playing in the world cup. BTW, Australia will be placed in a group alongside France, Danmark and Tunisia. Quite a tough one, if you ask me.

Australia ended up qualifying to the world cup at the last minute in penalties!.

What a funny show from the goalkeeper, but it actually worked out in the end. He managed to block a penalty and secure their spot into the world cup.

That goalie should be the man of the match, nothing much happened in the 90+ minutes...

Anyway, congrats Australia for qualifying. Now it's the turn of New Zealand.

These figures are not very low. Almost 6500 workers have died in Qatar ever since they got contract for fifa World Cup 2022. This is speechless as everyone is looking to see start of worldcup while nobody questioning why such huge number of labour's died in Qatar.

Whether you like it or not, the simple truth is that the life of an ordinary Nepali or a Pakistani is worth less than a fraction of that of an Arab or an European (if there is any worth at all).

Depends on the respective embassies. Countries such as Philippines take a very hard line on any alleged human rights violation that occurs to their citizens in the GCC nations. Some of the countries such as Nepal have banned women from working in GCC nations because of frequent sexual abuse and harassment. But on the other hand, the embassies of India and Pakistan usually turns a blind eye to complaints from their own citizens. For them, some of the individuals need to be sacrificed for the greater economic well being of the country.

A bit sad that Italy and Mo Salah (Egypt) failed to qualify in this coming Qatar World Cup. Just as Mo Salah might win this year's Ballon d'Or.   

Labor in GCC is poor people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka. GCC knows these countries won't spoke for the abuse going on with there labour that's why they continue to do so. It's all because of poverty, people from South Asia leave there loved once to earn a better future for them by sacrificing there own desires.

For years up to now treatment of laborers in the whole Middle East are of serious concern. Qatar is in the spotlight though as it will be hosting the biggest sporting event this year. Not counting the issues of corruption on how the tiny rich emirate was able to win the bidding. But maybe this is good as Qatar will get the full attention and it will be seen worldwide. The emirate will improve their labor laws because pretty sure there is a lot of pressure going on now.

Agreed. These countries are just too powerful and both the sides (Russia-China alliance, as well as the West) needs them. So despite their small population the GCC countries will face no backlash over the human rights violations. And this is not something that is new. Labor abuse has been going on for many decades in the Gulf region. Some of the individual footballers have spoken against discrimination against homosexuals in Qatar. But so far, I haven't seen anyone speaking for the laborers. Perhaps they are too low in priority.

So it looks like Ecuador might be removed from the world cup and replaced by Chile. Apparently Ecuador's player, Byron Castillo, is actually Colombian  Huh FIFA has been investigating this for months, and will make their official decision this Friday 10 June 2022. If Ecuador is banned from the competition, Chile will take its place.
It seems that the mountain gave birth to a mouse and the Chile national team will still not be able to get to the World Cup through the back door. The national team of Ecuador can exhale and continue to prepare for the World Cup. FIFA conducted an official investigation and rejected Chile's protest against the allegedly forged documents of Ecuador national team player Byron Castillo. However, the reasoning part of the decision has not been published and the parties will still have ten days to appeal against the decision. By the way, the fact that a player was born in Colombia, in theory, should not greatly interfere with obtaining Ecuadorian citizenship, unless he has already played for the Colombian national team.
FIFA will soon take a decision regarding the falsification of Byron Castillo documents by the Ecuadorian national team, causing a lot of poleming whether the Ecuadorian national team will be able to compete in the Qatar world cup this year because currently Ecuador has received a protest from the Chilean national team and this has been reported to FIFA but so far FIFA has not could make a concrete decision but now La Tri, as Ecuador is known.is in danger of being kicked out of the 2022 World Cup for falsifying the passport and birth certificate of a player named Byron Castillo, to make it appear as if he was born in Ecuador

No one in the world has courage to speak against Labour abuse in gulf countries. I am sure this world cup will be played and people from all around the world will enjoy this and no one will blink an eye for labour that died during construction of these stadiums. Gulf countries should stop this.

Fifa just shattered Chile dreams of playing worldcup 2022. I think it's not a wise move by Chile football to approach fifa for banning Ecuador. They must compete on football pitch not in court rooms for playing the football World Cup. Clearly this is something beyond sportsmanship.

If Chile want to play in the world cup, then they could have performed better in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. They finished at the 7th place, behind Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Chile managed to win just 5 out of their total 18 qualifier matches. I wish them better luck for next year, but the baseless allegations related to Byron Castillo were not necessary and it adds further controversy to an already controversial world cup. Already there is a lot of debate going on regarding the deaths of thousands of workers during construction of stadiums in Qatar.

I haven't read through much of this thread and without reading can someone outside of the US post what they think of the US's chance to get out of theor group is.  England, a tough Iran team and now Wales.   Seems like an insanely tough group to me.  Wondering what people's opinion are of the group that are outside of the US.
The US is in a group that will make it difficult for them to qualify. but there is still hope for the US to qualify for the next round.
but the US must prepare its players to play more consistently than in qualifying. Even in the match against Canada in the qualifying round, the US had to lose 2-0. draw against Jamaica. Of course, being in the same group as England, Iran and Wales will not be easy for the US.
