It is the regret of many that Italy is not in the World Cup. The World Cup begins and there will be no team in the blue jersey that the football world could have ever imagined. For example, the World Cup cannot be imagined without Brazil, Argentina or Germany. But after 2018, the football world is watching the World Cup without Italy. Football is an extremely always competitive sport and this is an example in case of Italy.
What can be called the absence of Italy in the World Cup - it it an accident? The team that showed extreme power just one year ago and became the best in Europe, they could not pass the qualifying round of the World Cup! This can happen on the playground. But losing to North Macedonia and missing out on the World Cup is hard for the Italians to accept. But it is hoped that in the future they will definitely playing and keep in mind this incident.
Italy was not present in 2018 fifa worldcup either. Already we have 13 teams from Europe, so it doesn't matter if anyone is missed out. Germany too is going home despite beating Costa Ricca 4-2. Japan is showing great performance from day one, they have beaten top teams like Germany and Spain but failed to beat Costa Ricca that's something strange since Costa Rica is weakest team of group E.
there is nothing to regret, those who enter the world cup are the best teams that have passed the Qualification, the thing about Italy that failed to qualify was caused by their declining performance.
Germany's failure to qualify is also not surprising because they failed to win in their opening match against Japan.
what was surprising was that Japan was able to win this group because previously it was Spain and Germany that were the favorites to qualify from the group, but Japan made a surprise by being able to beat the two top European teams.
Germany was not in form this fifa they didn't perform well to qualify for the next round. The teams who performed well and won their matches made their way to the next round . We have seen some new teams and names in this world cup who have not performed in previous world cups but in this word cup their improvement and growth is impressive and visible.
Japan has shown some wonderful performances ,same is with Morocco and some teams are out of this world cup although they are favourite like Belgium.
Germany is ready to play in the next round, but I have seen some mistakes of the German players, they play more fouls in the middle of the game. But their quality of play is very good. I think this time the World Cup will be a new team. Now we have to see which team will play the final in the World Cup.
It really is the first time that Japan has been able to go to another level in terms of the World Cup and I am surprised how Spain has been able to go through, in Spain for me they were very lucky to have thrashed Costa Rica despite the fact that Costa Rica has one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but clearly the line The defense of the players shows the big flaws that exist between them, I don't know how they could go like this with such a big flaw, I don't understand it, but at one point the Spanish were outside, only Germany I help them to enter, despite the fact that Germany could not pass, I think that one of the biggest surprises has come from Morocco.
I don't think that Croatia will play that defensively against Argentina. We saw that against Brazil they attacked too and got in some good goal scoring opportunities. What I mean is that Croatia doesn't play like Morocco. Morocco plays super defensively and they are not attacking even when they get an opportunity to create a counter attack.
Same thoughts. Given that Argentina is far from ideal in defense, it makes no sense for Croatia to sit on the defensive. It is better to win 3-2 than to lose 0-1 with no scoring chances. I am sure that today we will see a mutually dangerous attacking game.
As for Morocco, even though they are focused on defense, if you look at the statistics of attacking actions, for example, they were on an equal footing with Portugal.
this is a world cup semifinal match, all teams will play carefully in this match to avoid bad things and in this Argentina vs Croatia match it was very fierce even though Croatia was not so superior but remember that they are finalists in the 2018 world cup.
and if you look at the previous matches of these two teams, Croatia is very strong in midfield led by the world's best senior midfielder Luka Modric so that the flow of the ball forward is very well organized and meanwhile Argentina also has players that are evenly distributed in every line, so I think that Fierce matches will not be avoided in this fight and for the possibility of qualifying for the finals both still have the same chance.
Well, out of all this, what surprises me the most is the confidence that the Moroccans have against the French, I really admire the level that the African team has reached this stage, really the team that I thought was going to get there was Senegal or even Ghana, but I see that many here have been surprised, but this is not so surprising to see that the technical director looked for his best players, those who play in Europe and those who have the most experience, this is what makes the difference When a player has a training session outside his local league, the European coaches know about the possible changes they can make, this is something that is very obvious.
