Topic: Qatar world cup Final Predictions - page 3. (Read 6279 times)
Most of my betslips I made during the World Cup lost. I don't remember another organization in which I lost this much money for a long time. Anyway because of this, I'm very happy that the World Cup has ended.
Emiliano Martínez got Golden gloves for his excellent goalkeeping throughout world cup and specially in final he is the reason of Argentina victory as he stopped all the goals and made victory confirm for Argentina.
Penalty shootout is total goalkeepers task if they become successful in that he victory will be theirs and if not they'll be blamed .
For this year my favorite team was able to advance to the final and win the World Champion, of course it is a very special thing for football lovers and also the idols of the players, since the group stage there have been many countries that have surprised me, especially Asian countries, and those who advanced to the final everything was beyond our predictions, I had predicted that the one who would advance to the final this year would be Brazil vs Argentina, but the opposite happened and the greatest messi could be the player who can get all the trophies in the entire football arena.
This world cup told the world that apart from European countries, African Asian countries can also come forward in the football world as they have shown alot of improvement in last year's. Morocco if continue to play like this can win the world cup next year.In fact, the Asian and African national teams were good at the world cups even before this world cup in Qatar, but sometimes they were not lucky.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ghana had a penalty in the last minute of the match against Uruguay and a huge opportunity to win and reach the semi-finals, but they failed.
At the 2002 World Cup, South Korea played in the semi-finals against Germany and lost.
Morocco is a good team, but I wouldn't say they are favorites for the world title in 4 years.
The favorites will continue to be the European and South American national teams, and I think that some African national teams are at the level of Morocco, such as Senegal or Egypt.

France was no where in the final neither with the ball not with attack and strike. The penalty at 80th minute changed all the scene of game and than another goal from Mbappe, this is definitely most interesting world cup I have ever watched because of the passion from both teams no one gave up till the last minute.
I was having a discussion with one of my friends. He was saying that the tackle (that resulted in penalty) was necessary as France would have scored otherwise. I disagreed. Even if they had conceded a goal, it would have been better. Look at what happened after the tackle. France was awarded a penalty, Emiliano Martínez got a yellow card, and more importantly Kylian Mbappé added one more goal to his kitty in the form of penalty kick (which enabled him to win golden boot). Martínez was very cautious after this, as he was already booked. If they had conceded the goal, it would have been still better.
Argentina goalkeeper Martínez won the Golden Boot one of the reasons he made a late save. There were only 28 seconds left in overtime. If that goal had not been saved by Martinez, Argentina would never have achieved the dream of the World Cup in Qatar. Because France was ahead by 1 goal, while Martinez worked hard to save pelanty of goals. Due to which Golden Boot gets martinez.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Croatia is a very strong and competitive team and they have been brilliant throughout this world cup. The way they defeated Brazil in the super 16 was great , and how they reached the semi finals and took third position is appreciating.
Croatia were in 2nd position instead world cup and this time too they maintained their performance.
Croatia were in 2nd position instead world cup and this time too they maintained their performance.
Before the world cup, no one actually gave much chance for Croatia. Their performance during the qualifying tournament, and 2022–23 UEFA Nations League was not that great. But they surprised everyone by defeating the tournament favorites Brazil during the quarter-final match. However they were not competitive during the semi-finals and went down against France. Anyway they finished the tournament on a high by winning the 3rd place match in a convincing manner, as African representatives Morocco ran out of gas in the end.
It seems to me that you have not followed the League of Nations carefully this year.
It's true that after the World Cup in Russia 2018, Croatia was in a bit of a crisis and was very bad in the first two editions of the League of Nations.
However, this year Croatia played very well in the third edition of the League of Nations and won first place in its group, after defeating France and Denmark away from home.
Croatia qualified for the final tournament of the League of Nations next year and has a great opportunity to win its first football trophy.
Already after these great results, it was clear that Croatia once again has a good and balanced team and that it's ready for a big result at the world cup in Qatar.
In the match against Argentina, Croatia actually played very well until the penalty kick, which was awarded too harshly, and as a result, the Croatian players lost their concentration and composure in the game and could no longer return to the match.

It's not incorrect to say Qatar 2022 was full of surprises as we saw France beaten by Tunisia in group stages and KSA beating Argentina in first match. Morrocco gave a hope to every Asian and African football playing team that fifa is open for them also. I wished Morrocco to finish 3rd but that wished remain unfulfilled.

They won the match, but I was just not impressed as they were lucky to have known how to score goals better than the Moroccan team. But such lapses cost them when they faced better Argentina.
Argentina deserved to win this time because of their commitment towards football.

World cup championship has ended. that in fact, the champion doesn't always have to be a star-studded team. in fact, Argentina does not have many famous players. however, it is their hard work and teamwork that makes them stronger, apart from their icon, Messi.Speaking of Brazil, since the beginning this samba team has been the favorite candidate to win the world cup in Qatar. even so, the facts speak otherwise that they had to fall defeated by Croatia in a penalty shoot-out.
let's review this one squad.
Brazil has players who are above average, the individual skills of the players cannot be doubted. but, why did they fail. for sure, they are unlucky in this championship. however, I have a different view and analysis apart from the luck factor. Tite should have included one of their senior players, Firmino, from the start. not infrequently, Firmino is a decisive factor in victory when playing for Liverpool. Firmino's performance at the club, is in very good form. unfortunately, Tite did not include him in the Qatar world cup yesterday.
As for Richarlison, without Neymar he doesn't play well, you can see that from the available statistics. Tite's other mistake was preferring Raphinha over Antony, who was the main starter. in fact, in fact Brazil still has Grabriel Martinelli who is doing well playing with Arsenal. I don't know what Tite's decision was at that time, even though Tite has various tactics and formations without having to always rely on Richarlison as a Target Man. what can I do, anyway Brazil lost.
next, they still have a great team and I hope that in the future Brazil will have a more experienced coach.
A very good analysis of Brazil, and I would add a few more things to it.
Brazil had big problems in matches against teams that played well and organized in defense, like Switzerland or Croatia.
They were also not focused enough in attack and did not score many goals considering the number of chances they had.
They were not mentally ready for this tournament, which was evident during the penalty shootout against Croatia.
For a team to become a world champion, it has to be strong in all aspects of the game and mentally it has to be fully prepared.
Brazil was definitely not ready to win the title this year. They had great players, but they didn't have a title team.
Right, you are right.
Brazil's mistake was not bringing their senior players. they tend to play individually, rather than as a team. their teamwork doesn't really look more solid, we can compare the Brazil vs South Korea match. how players become selfish, want each other to score goals even though on the one hand his teammates have free opportunities to score goals. Vini Jr is no exception, he wants to show his talent and ambition as one of the best wingers but they forget that they play as a team not as individuals. like against Switzerland, also Cameron, especially against Croatia. It seems clear, there are many problems in the body of the Brazilian squad.
I'm not sure that Tite didn't notice, or maybe he was too confident in the skill of each individual player. like you said, Brazil is not ready mentally. the problem is not the team, but the individual. if only Brazil had a more senior figure like Firmino, I'm sure the results would be different and if only Antony had been trusted more to be the main strater. mentally, they will be more prepared because they have two senior players, namely Firmino and Neymar. but, that's what happened and I hope Brazil can improve in the future because they have a lot of young talent.
by the way, i forgot something to say to you, and your country. congratulations to the Croatian national team, despite being the third. but Croatia's struggle must be appreciated. especially for the captain Luca Modric, if at that time Croatia was able to appear in the final round. I'm sure Modric will be the best player because of his extraordinary work ethic.
Thank you, we in Croatia are really proud of our national team and their great success in Qatar.
After the finals at the world cup in Russia, many people said that Croatia was very lucky and did not deserve such a result, but after we won another medal at the world cup, nobody can talk about Croatia's success as a coincidence or luck.
In fact, the Croatian players are disappointed because after the victory over Brazil, they wanted much more, to win the world cup, but Messi was too good this time and led his team to the long-awaited title.
Honestly, Brazil had the best players in this World Cup and they played the most beautiful, however the players were too selfish, they didn't have the right team spirit and they weren't mentally ready for the title. Obviously, their coach did not have enough authority and knowledge to prepare them in the right way to win the title.
I think it is time for Brazil to choose a foreign coach, with authority and experience.

Already pointed out by user YinShuiSiYuan that Emiliano Martínez got the golden glove and not the golden boot. The latter award went to Kylian Mbappé, and that too only because Argentina conceded two penalty kicks and Mbappé converted both of them to goals. Without these penalty kicks, Messi would have won the golden boot instead of Mbappé. What I was trying to say is that Argentina didn't gained anything from that tackle which resulted in the penalty kick. IMO, they would have rather conceded the goal to France (80th minute).
