Do we have already odds for the FIFA World Cup 2022? I think that's more likely best to know rather than just saying there's easy or not for the groups. What I mean is odds for every group if ever there is. I don't think that it will always favor on the South American continent, even the defending champion is from Europe.
Well, in reality, the statistics on the soccer teams for this World Cup are very partial to what everyone thinks, I have seen many who affirm that this World Cup is for Argentina, Germany, France or Brazil, for many these are the favorite teams and although technically and at the level of results they can be very likely to win, we have to be aware of the possible surprises that some other teams can give, the majority do not have much faith in Portugal, some put their hopes in Germany, if I am honest I would have I'm pinning my hopes on Italy, but since they won't be in this World Cup either, I think I'd lean more towards Brazil.
Yes, and the truth is, Byron Casstillo had a very bad time, I saw a video where he himself said that he should be removed from the team in order not to damage Ecuador's classification, however, the Chileans were very bad, and it was not only the Italians who speculated that they were , the Colombians were hoping they would go to the World Cup, I honestly don't like Ecuador's style of football, sometimes they have explosiveness in their plays, maybe I would have liked Italy to go, but that's football, although now I don't see how boring the matches are, there are many without flavors from countries that want and deserve to go to the World Cup and this is something that is used with more inclusions.
Lop-sided matches will be there even if the number of participant countries remain at 32. The main argument from FIFA was that it wanted to give more chances to teams from the CAF and AFC. But even with the current qualification system, teams that qualify from these two confederations struggle against the teams from CONMEBOL and UEFA. Remember the inaugural match from the last world cup? Russia thrashed Saudi Arabia by a margin of 5-0. And this is despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is considered as one of the strongest teams in the AFC, and Russia doesn't rank among the top-20 UEFA nations.
Yes, I remember that part, what strikes me is that after that successful world, Russia is no longer in this World Cup, of course, like Italy, Sweden, they are countries that are really worth seeing, like their fans, I think that the countries that go for these teams will be seen differently, I am a little anxious to see this World Cup, the fact that it is until November is something new for me, but I do know that this Christmas will be much happier for having the World Cup at this time, it will be of another level and I want to see and I am curious to see some teams from countries that qualified in the playoffs, how will their behavior be when they have to play against the greats.
It is very unfortunate that the countries you mentioned were unable to qualify for this year's World Cup.
in particular is Italy where they are one of the European countries that have a tradition in the World Cup but in fact they have not participated in two editions of the World Cup,
what is clear is that this is a new world cup because it is held in November and hopefully it will be even more interesting
Yes, I am not Italian, but I am a fan of that country, Italy for me represents that elegant football, that beautiful football and with a very nice style in particular, however I think that now that it will be done and celebrated with more countries, Italy must be there present.

Russia would have qualified for the world cup, but based on the complaints by Poland and Ukraine, FIFA decided to suspend their participation. If Russia can be suspended for the war against Ukraine, then I don't know why the US was not banned after their invasions of Iraq, Syria and Libya. Anyway, Russia will be missed, along with the teams that failed to qualify such as Italy. In case of the latter, it was unexpected. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that they will lose to North Macedonia. Lesson learnt. Never ever underestimate Goran Pandev.
That's what they say, but those are things that are decided by elites much higher than what is normally handled, I don't particularly like that soccer teams are kicked out just for political problems, I understand that this is a problem that goes much further, and what a pure logic to having so many war drums is logical, but in the Russian team there are good players, players who have been training since they were children, who have made a career in other teams and that is not fair to them However, I think that they have no intention of wars or anything, it is very difficult for them to live under the yoke of a Russian president who only wants to take over an already consolidated country, so much so that it has affected the sport.
