My focus is on the African champion that is Senegal. I think they are in a group that is looking easy for them to qualify from the group stage. The group doesn't have much of strong football nations except Netherlands. The host nation Qatar may cause difficulty for opponent because of home soil advantage because they are not known to be strong on the game. Equador too are not looking like a very huge challenge for Netherlands and Senegal, well it is a game of 11 players and qualifying for the world cup is a joke.
In the soccer game we will not know what the outcome will be, but the match in Group A will definitely be exciting because the hosts also want to lose in the group stage, the Netherlands will also struggle to qualify for Group A, but the Netherlands and Mr. I can't guess this house because both games are equally good, there are disadvantages and there are advantages

Actually Group C going to make some change in this tournament.Because Argentina is the good team with huge good players in it.And the Group G will be lead by the Brazil.The tough competition in the football will be this two team.We all know the legacy of this two team,they had potential to win the game with their own strategy.Strategy is not based on the team players alone,it also depends on the players potential in the game.Lionel Messi is enough for the full team spirit.Messi is not only the key player of the team,he will guide the full team to the match and make them to win at all point.As we know this two team had world class players.They will play like a 11 players as compared to rest of the team members of other country.This was unique with European playing the game in Islamic county.
Group C has Argentina, Poland, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. Of course Argentina is the powerhouse there, but Mexico and Poland are quite good teams actually, so it will be a bit of a challenge for Argentina to lead there. Saudi Arabia will probably not go to the next stage, but I'm not so sure about who are the two teams that will go. It would be a massive disappointment if Argentina doesn't make it to the next round, but there is a chance of that with Poland and Mexico there.
I think it would really be a huge surprise if Argentina, one of the main favorites of this world championship, does not pass the group and does not advance to the knockout stage of the competition.
A team that has Messi always has a chance to win
I believe that Poland and Mexico will fight for the second place in this group, and I give a slight advantage to Poland because of Lewandowski.
In this group, Saudi Arabia definitely has no chance of advancing to the knockout stage of the competition.
Group C renounce and pronounce because of Argentina but no surprise that they might go out on the knockout stage. We all know that Argentina is strong team in football but a weak team can win a strong team and I had seen that in last world cup where Nigeria won Argentina in the group stage in the first leg. Though prediction is good but don't put your hope on Argentina because football is a game luck. Messi alone can't take the country to the victory level. But let see what will happen in the tournament.
Poland, Mexico, Saudi Arabia are work over for Argentina we can't compare these teams to Argentina although they will try their best to go to the next stage. Poland will pass the first stage to the second stage.
I would actually disagree with you. I remember the 1986 World Cup when Argentina was last world champion, and one player, Maradona, was so dominant that he practically single-handedly brought Argentina the world title.
Because of this, Messi feels a lot of pressure from the public because all Argentinians compare him to Maradona. This is his last chance to help his national team win the world championship and to prove that he is a bigger player than Maradona.
As for luck, it can help in one or two games, but in a tournament, 7 matches are played and in the end, the most prepared team wins, the most mentally stable, not the luckiest team.
In any case, a very exciting and uncertain world championship awaits us, and small details will decide the final winner.
Argentina is a great time with a fantastic player. But Brazil is even better as an overall team.
I don't know why do you think that Argentina is inferior to Brazil if we take team balance in to account. IMO, both of them are equally good. Look at Brazil. They have Neymar, Richarlison, Roberto Firmino and Vinícius Júnior as forwards and then Casemiro and Fred to back them up in the midfield. And in defense they have Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Danilo. Can it get any stronger than this? Now look in to Argentina. Apart from Lionel Messi, they have Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez as forwards. Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes are super-strong in midfield and defense is under the control of Nicolás Otamendi. Both the teams look equally strong for me.
Argentina is actually still a very strong team. They are still dependent on Messi but they also still have a lot of other strong players. I wonder how Argentina will play. Would they then return to play for Messi as Barcelona did for years before his departure? Maybe you should give those players a little more freedom. They can beat anyone on paper at this tournament. In 2014 they were already 2nd in the world, but they could also have become world champions. They are not among the top favorites, but they are not among the outsiders either. I think they are just at the sub top behind 4-5 countries.

I'm sure Argentina will end up doing a great job in this world cup, but it will all depend on Messi to see if they actually end up winning the tournament. It would be an epic end to his career.
On the flip side, if Argentina doesn't win the world cup, Messi will end up retiring without ever winning the world cup, something that Maradona did.

Saudi Arabia will be very familiar with the conditions, and therefore it puts them in an advantage. Argentina will be the favorites, but then some of their players are currently going through injury issues. I am not sure how serious their injuries are, but at least in case of Dybala, concerns have been raised by the team coach. If there is an upset early on, it may happen in Group C. Brazil looks very solid in Group G, and I don't think that there is even a minute chance of an upset occurring there. They are in exceptional form at this moment.

In this group we can expect Argentina as leaders and then a tough match between Poland and Mexico even for me Mexico is favourite for having second spot but still it's going to be no easy match for both teams because things could be not easy both are having good quality and skilled players which are currently giving their best in clubs and other matches.Saudi Arab is surely going to stay at bottom with three defeats and most chances they could be fail to have any goal against these strong teams which are full of professional and quality players, and they have most of the players which are having not good experience of international matches even recently they are increasing quality and doing good things for having better results but outside Asia they still have no enough chance for having better results.

I think it's a good thing for European countries, but that means that there's less friendly matches between European teams and the rest of the world. So for example Argentina and Brazil don't get to play with stronger teams in their friendly matches.
Yes, you are right, but this has clearly become a question of money and profit.UEFA recognized the opportunity to earn extra money and European teams recognized the opportunity to play against Europe's best teams for a title that means something instead of boring friendlies that nobody cares about.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if FIFA reacts and does something similar at the world level, which would include Brazil and Argentina
Don't we already have a world club championship?
Most of the players are busy for 7 to 8 months, and then they have their local matches like in Europe UEFA Nations League and in Africa, Africa Nations Cup and South Americans enjoying with CONMEBOL so bringing more event is surely not good idea just World Cup is already enough for them as they are fighting against each other after four years and doing their best in regional competitions.

Yeah, it's sad to see everything being decided mostly on money. For example, the next World Cup will have so many qualified teams that I'm not sure it will feel the same any more. It used to be a privilege to qualify for the World Cup, even huge teams like Italy didn't make it this time. Given that a lot of teams will qualify, the first stage of the world cup will feel like a qualifier itself...

If UEFA had not started the Nations League, European teams would have played uninteresting friendlies against unattractive opponents.
Now European teams have the opportunity to participate in an interesting and attractive competition against the strongest European teams, earn good money and at the same time check the strength of their team.
I think that the concept of this competition is very well received by the public and that every year it becomes more and more popular.
Of course, it is the hardest for the players who arrive tired after a difficult club season in Europe, but it is difficult to find free time for this type of competition, especially in the year when the world cup is played.

The UEFA Nations League has definitely replaced boring friendlies, which were poorly organized and scheduled. That said, I am not sure whether the players would be happy about it. For them, the club matches are their priority and in case the club schedule is overlapping with the schedule from the Nations League, then they may prefer the former. Anyway, other confederations can also try the same. Apart from the AFC Asia Cup, there is room for such a competition in Asia. Will be good to see some of the smaller members such as Maldives and Bhutan competing against the giants such as Japan and Saudi Arabia.
Here no doubt UEFA Nations League is doing good even many countries are not going with their full force, and we have too many shocking results but good start from them for the development of this game and having better results for long run which is surely better replacement for friendless.Africa and CONMEBOL is already following things like these which will give them good development but sadly here in Asia we are having no positive development and things are not going as quick which is the biggest concern because here in AFC too many issues which are preventing positive development for the game, and we are currently much behind from all other continents Gulf surely investing money for development and South East and North East are also doing good job but sadly currently South Asia which is SAARC most backward countries for this game even they are most populated countries in this Asia region.

I personally think that Portugal is a very good team even without Ronaldo and that they don't depend only on him.
After all, in today's modern football, one player cannot influence the result much by himself and the strength of the team is much more important.
Do you remember when Portugal became European champions a few years ago?
Due to Ronaldo's injury, Portugal played almost the entire final match against France without Ronaldo and eventually won without him and became the European champion.
Ronaldo is playing really bad at the moment and I don't think it's very certain that he will play for Portugal in every game from the start, just because of his reputation.

Well balanced teams (such as Spain and Brazil) have their own advantage, but that doesn't mean that it will be impossible for individual based teams such as Portugal and Belgium to win. When a team is heavily dependent on one player (Ronaldo for Portugal, Erling Håland for Norway and Lukaku for Belgium), there are both advantages and disadvantages. The opposition defense can focus on a single player and if they manage to restrict him then it will get difficult for the other team to score goals.
I can partially agree with you. Everything really depends on the team and the game strategy of the coach. A good coach knows how to get the most out of his team, exploiting the team's best sides and covering the team's bad sides with additional solutions.
If the players can unite with their coach's vision and support the main player of the team, then it can work.
Ronaldo is not playing well in Manchester at the moment and it will be interesting to see how much he can help Portugal at the World Cup.
Being powerful and doing a good job doesn't necessarily go hand in hand and nobody should forget that. Corruption is a huge issue for an organization like the FIFA.
First the FIFA gives the World Cup to Qatar and now the Olympic Winter games have been given to Saudi Arabia. While this seems to be off-topic, it kind of is not. Guess what, the city where the Olympic Winter games are going to take place must even be built first. It doesn't exist yet. Anyone wants to guess how many people are going to die building a brand new mega city for some Winter games?
The whole world is all about money. I can only give bad guesses as to how much money someone like Blatter might be bunkering in places nobody ever found about.
People dying for building the venues in order for the world to have a great experience in front of the TV is many steps too far.

Money matters. As simple as that.
Saudi Arabia is the same country that is involved in a genocidal war against Houthis in Yemen. They have constantly bombed residential areas in Yemen, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. And the FIFA, as well as the IOC has not taken any action against Saudi Arabia. Same with Qatar. Despite the deaths of more than 6,000 workers in constructing the stadiums for the FIFA World Cup, no action was taken by the sports body.
But both FIFA and IOC were quick to suspend Russia and disqualify the athletes when they launched the war against Ukraine. Why it this differentiation? Why the same rule that is applicable to Russia not applicable to Saudi Arabia and Qatar?
The question you raise is indeed an interesting one, but I believe that the FIFA knows there is no way to put pressure on the whole European continent with so many important soccer nations. Now that Russia started that war within Europe and the sanctions were implemented, all the events are much closer and on everyone's radar.
I fully agree with you and as I also implied before, it currently starts to become absurd. The World Cup in Qatar was crazy when I first heard it, and it still is. Giving the Winter Games to Saudi Arabia is again absurd. It feels like political power and money is trying to turn the world and its natural givens upside down. Winter Games in Saudi Arabia. Let's see whether the next Summer Games will take place in Alaska...
The worst of it all is obviously not that so much money is wasted, but that real people are killed, and as a secondary effect I could possibly also argue that it is a gigantic waste of money to build soccer stadiums in Qatar or the whole set up for the Winter Games in Saudi Arabia while there is still hunger in the world.
Yes, I see your point and you are right, but always for some reason it is about moving the path of sport away from everything political and from every act against humanity, however the games, the Qatar thing is something else, first of all the world is something that has always been given, an undial could not only establish bonds of union between countries but could be a reason to start establishing peace between countries, I know that the situation in the world is not so easy and that there are many things, many fights and fights of territories at the moment, be it for Russia, Ukraine and that in some way have taken it to Europe and it is also a problem in the world, because if a world war breaks out, we will all take it, so sometimes sport can unite, there is that slight possibility.
Your last part sounds too romantic to be true
The reason I am saying that is that it is not just a fight between countries, but a fight between political systems. It is about communism and dictatorship vs. democracy. I know you said there is a slight chance and yes, how could I even deny that, a little bit of optimism is obligatory. But these clashes between systems are usually deemed to prevail for veeeeery long unless some major event happens. That major event was an unbelievably outrageous war when the Nazis tried to conquer the world.
The problem I will always have with a World Cup in Qatar is the fact that it is not because Qatar loves soccer so much or wants to make money with a great sports event and also make their own people happy by allowing them to freely celebrate with other nations. It is all about whitewashing reputation and camouflaging the real status quo in order to expand acceptance > influence in the world.
All I am saying doesn't mean that I am not looking forward to the World Cup games. I am, and sometimes I wonder whether my action is inconsequential and I should probably not even switch on the TV... I guess these dilemmas will be part of human life for as long as exist.
