You have to expect England & Netherlands to win but the other game is more difficult to call. USA & Wales are quite evenly matched, I’d imagine. Looking forward to the games today any way

With all respect to Ecuador, I think that real World Cup starts today. Things what we saw yesterday wasn't World Cup level football.
England vs Iran, I think it's question not about England will win or no, but how many goals they will score. USA - Wales, it's a bit strange that USA is a bit favoured by bookmakers, I think a bit different. Though, don't reall know what to expect from USA.
And Senegal - Netherlands. It's sad that Mane won't play in World Cup, otherwise it would be very interesting game. Now I'm confident about Nethlerlands win.

I think that when you are logged in through the browser in a desktop and not in a mobile app you just click "Dashboard" and then in the left you click "Tournaments" and there is where you will find all the tournaments that you are part of and all the pools that you have joined.
For the mobile app when you open it in the top you have all the tournaments you are taking part of,of course here they are with abbreviations like EPL for English Premier League and so on,it is easy.

My take from the match today.
Ecuador's captain Valencia is a fantastic player. He could have a hat-trick but unfortunately first one was an off-side. The semi referee system played a good role to the match. Ecuador's defense is cooperatively strong. They have not conceded goals for the last 11 plus playing hours now.
Qatar does not have a good defense and their forwards have no ability to score too. An average team in my opinion.

You are right, at least the match-fixing allegations have not been confirmed.
After losing by 2 - 0, isn't it confirmed now? There will always be a group who try to create hype. It's was their idea. I don't think there were any fixing at all. It's a big event and we are at 2022. November 20, 2022, 02:55:45 PM
have to say that I exoected a bit more from Qatar, they are hosts and fight till the end should be their prime motivation, quality is obviously lacking
Can't say that I had big expectations about Qatar, but I expected something better than they showed today. Especially in the first half, it looked like they don't know what they're doing in World Cup. And it's strange, considering that they had longest preparation, compared with other teams. Meanwhile Ecuador didn't showed nothing amazing today. They scored 2 goals and it was enough for them.I wonder why don't the fifa bracket let you select the 3rd and 4th place, not even as a tie breaker. It is still an official world cup game, after all
Really? I think it was something wrong on your side because I was able toselect 3rd place and then 4th place got filledautomatically. November 20, 2022, 02:28:43 PM
I had this first game as 1-2 as I thought Qatar since the host country should have been at least able to score a goal but I am happy that I did not go for a draw which I almost was sure for a draw with goals because of all the news that were circulating before the start of this World Cup.

Ecuador will be tested against Senegal, but this win puts Qatar on three loses strike, since pressure is on Netherlands and Senegal not to lose points, because then win over Ecuador is a must

I am happy that Ecuador won,this clearly puts a lot of pressure in Netherlands to win their game against Senegal or if they don't they risk to surprise us in a really bad way while quite a lot of people believe they will go far in this World Cup.

Still, a part of the stuff I read were the allegations of Qatar bribing Ecuador to lose the match, and yet the score is 0-2 with Ecuador winning. Not bad so far, at least the match-fixing allegation didn't get confirmed.
Congrats to everyone who got this one right, and good luck with the future predictions to us all!

You are right, at least the match-fixing allegations have not been confirmed. I'm also curious to see how the tournament develops and whether the fans in Qatar (but also all over the world) will really get into the typical "World Cup spirit". Due to the large amount of criticism before the tournament and the sometimes bizarre rules of the host country, that won't be easy, I guess. But we will see.
In addition, it's pretty obvious that the Qatar team has so far been clearly outclassed by Ecuador. A little surprising, as the Qatar team was highly praised in the run-up to the World Cup.

I read a few articles yesterday on the World Cup in Qatar just to get in the mood for the start of the race today, and while I knew Qatar was a Muslim country, some restrictions that they have like covered clothes (for both genders), zero display of public affection, and alcohol restriction really make me wonder how the atmosphere will be this year (oh, and since criticizing the government is apparently also a crime there, we might not find out the true impressions until after the World Cup). How are people supposed to cheer, to hug when the team they support scores? And I think taking a T-shirt off is also not uncommon, yet this time illegal...

Maybe, maybe England really is the underestimated top favorite then. We will see. Their group doesn't look to difficult at least: Iran, United States & Wales - not really the who's who of football.
However, the match against Wales at least should be very interesting because of the rivalry.
I do believe that if France starts the tournament well in the group stage, they can go quite far with the motivation that comes from that. And lets be real Australia, Denmark and Tunisia are also quite easy opponents.
England and Netherland are the understimated big players in this tournament. England has all their players in the Premier League and their manager is doing a great job, at this point a coesive and well managed team is favorite against one only with stars and good players. Word is they are suffering with the heath, tough.
France can win without Benzema, as they did in 2018, but there are other big players that didn't even went to the cup list, they still have quality but it will be a challenge that they may or may not pass, but the situation tend to improve the longer they keep in the competition.
We are not a bad team, in fact English team has some experienced world class players who can win any match against any team. Few days ago we won World Cup T20 cricket, before then we won World cup ODI. Currently we are holding both trophy. In recent times World cup means England to take the trophy at home. Why would we have different this time 😉

Difference is that France has world class defense and midfield behind those strikers as well. And they are not crazy enough to play with more than 3 of them in the first team. That being said France looked terrible in Nations League so I am not sure what to expect here. They will probably do good since they are usually really though to break down and that attack can score against anybody while motivation shouldn't be a problem in World Cup like it maybe was in those glorified friendlies.

Usually when it comes to decisive games we have Europe vs South America. Does anyone expect that teams from other continents can get involved into it? Personally, I expect same stuff again, maybe 1-2 teams outside Europe/S. America reaching 1/8 final and getting eliminated there.
It's always Europe vs South America. Even if we have Dutch and Danish final it's still between Europe and South America, well precisely Europe. Australia is under Asia and there are some African teams. I don't think any of them have the ability to win the world cup yet. Still a few decades to wait for them.That is absolutely correct,unfortunately for Asia and Central America they need quite some many years,maybe a few decades and they need to invest a lot during such time in soccer in order for them to be able to win such a prestigious event,the World Cup has been always shared between Europe or South America and judging by the way things are this world cup which starts today will most likely be shared between these two continents because the winner will be 100% one of them.
I think betting on any other team from any other continent to win the world cup will have an odd of a minimum of 1000 to 10000.

Just made prediction for the first game and filled bracket challenge. Tried to do without emotions and use logic. So, I got Brazil winning it, though, it's not my preferred tam. But starting with 1/4 finals, most games will be without favorites and predicting it is pure luck.

back to England, easy group, but afterwards can be difficult, looking at their draw, important for them to be on top, and for all other groups in upper part, for favorites to finish on top, after QF, every team is strong enough to be hard to knock-out
I already see hype in England after beating Iran and USA - It's coming home. But I expect that their path will end in 1/4 final. When you look at teams like Brazil, France, Argentina or Spain, it looks that England simply don't have material to pass through these team. November 19, 2022, 04:41:17 PM

have to say that I really like your sentence - who's who of football
yeah, I had my shot on England, wanted to put outright above 10, but in the end, have it on Netherlands, they have better team than 2010, and that was their WC, but Robben had to miss win in the final

I really don't like the show that is being put by the so called favorites in these international friendlies! This afternoon was watching Belgium play Egypt, am sorry to say but this was disappointing to watch... I expected the players to put up a good show for the coach to pick them in the starting 11 but it was a shit show, maybe they were holding back but now I need a different approach for the Main games to avoid this humiliation.
Yes,really surprised also seeing Belgium lose to Egypt while many people rate them as one of the favorites for the world cup and they truly have world class players like Hazard and Lukaku so most probably in this friendly they didn't take it seriously.I am not saying that Egypt is not strong but surely not at par with the power of a team like Belgium.Another reason maybe their full focus is in the world cup and they do not want to spend much energy in the friendlies when the world cup starts tomorrow.
I had a win on Belgium and they dissapointed me already in the first half. I was thinking they might turn it around in the second half but they conceded one more and i knew it was the end. I think they didnt care much about this friendly we seen that there was lot of subs . Still this match dosent matter it only matters what happens on the wc
November 19, 2022, 02:12:16 PM
Portugal look to have the easiest route to the final assuming they finish top of their group but they will probably have to get past France who were obviously the previous winners.
I read somewhere in history, the former champion team can not qualify for the round 16 most of the time. If France caught on the history then with Denmark, Australia will be the other qualified team. Portugal may not need to face France but England. Both are tough opponent.Maybe, maybe England really is the underestimated top favorite then. We will see.

Hazard will always play in front of Trossard for instance even though Trossard had a great season while Hazzard last good game is years in the history. Lukaku is injured and will probably miss group stages. Their defense was always weaker part of the team and now they are all 4 years older. Their only in form star without injury problems is De Bruyne. While he is the best midfielder in the world, he is actually playing out of position on right wing often. Don't get me wrong he is world class there as well but to miss having him in the middle of the pitch is just plain stupid.
