My 2022 World Cup Group Stage Predictions: What do you think?

Lolololol. You also said if you stop Ronaldo you stop Portugal, even though Ronaldo now has only scored 3 of Portugal's last 22 goals. 1 a penalty vs Ghana, and 2 in 1 game against Switzerland. Instead of just commenting, maybe consider watching the sport.

 

Never mind . We are getting Korea next and Portugal will be out soon

 

We indeed play our Z team today. So, no surprises

 

Thank God you said that, with your track record and lack of knowledge I'm more confident than ever.

 

Yes. If you are a Portugal fan you are in for some serious bad news in upcoming matches.
Heard you guys are playing Swiss next....Beware LOL
Time to book your return flight to Lisbon

 

You wish. You got beat by Cameroon's B team defence.

 

The funny thing is Serbia scored the most goals in Group G yet to be eliminated , also Brazil leading the group with only 3 goals as the worst group winners attacking line

 

Thats OK as long as its not a KO game.
We will rock in the KOs. Just wait and watch
Hexa coming soon.

 

I don't blame those already qualified teams for resting players because the schedule is brutal. Half the teams will only have 2 rest days between the group stage and knockouts. The rest only get 3. This after only 3 rest days between matches in the group stage.

 

Would you like to make a personal bet on that? Instead of talking silliness because you're upset, back it up.

 

My knowledge should never bother you. Just an FYI for you that I have the habit of jinxing teams and my next target is Portugal

Umm okay.

 

Congrats to @Hayaka for winning the prediction contest.

 

Everyone focused on Aboubakar and his red, but a shout out for Jerome Ngom Mbekeli of Colombe Sport

Played a total of four minutes plus extra time, made one pass which ended being a goal winning assist!

 

Good job @Hayaka

 

I invite you all to participate in a prediction contest for the knockout stage as well.

My idea is that we start from zero. Group stage is finished. So let's keep the knockout stage separated. It gives also more incentive for members to "redeem themselves" who did not so well in the group stage.

Just post your winners for the Round of 16 and how you think that team advances (I will use that as tie-breaker should members have the same number of correct predictions)

(N) => in normal time
(E) => in extra time
(P) => on penalties

Everybody feel free to join and post your predictions in this thread.

I cite your predictions so just in case people wonder your thought process.

Your wrong predictions include:

- Wales (USA qualified)
- Denmark (Australia qualified)
- Germany (Japan qualified)
- Belgium (Morocco qualified)

Other than that everything was perfect. Even the order.

 

FIFA will redesign their proposal.

16x3 is more or less dead.

will be rather 12 groups of 4 with a wild card round befor the round of 16 or 8 groups of 6 with limitation to 3 matches formeach team. in group phase (swiss model lime NFL or new UCL)

 

[/QUOTE]

He nailed Group G&H good job as everyone was going with Serbia and maybe Uruguay

 

Okay i will start with this

Netherlands (P)
Argentina (N)
Croatia (E)
Brazil (N)
England (P)
France (N)
Morocco (E)
Portugal (N)

 

I'm doing my percentages again so put down my higher percentage as the winner

USA 55% Holland 45%
Argentina 75% Australia 25%
Croatia 55% Japan 45%
Brazil 70% Korea 30%
England 60% Senegal 40%
France 75% Poland 25%
Morocco 50% Spain 50% put me down for Morocco
Portugal 60% Switzerland 40%

 

Reported for alphabetic discrimination.

Honestly, this group stage turned out really strange. I only got Group B & G right. Group A wasn't far off (Ecuador), while my C and F gambles didn't succeed despite promising opening games. Morocco did intrigue me after all the talks here in the forum, but I was already stuck on Canada and didn't want to pick 2 underdogs. At least I got it right about Belgium knocked out. I played it safe with E, even knowing that Japan could potentially cause an upset. D & H were the biggest surprises because I didn't rate Australia at all. Especially with Denmark in the group. Uruguay surprised me in the sense that I was under the impression that they had revitalized their team under their new coach.

Oh and congrats to Hayaka (and Monster).

 

I expect the trend to continue.

USA
Argentina
Japan
Brazil
Senegal
France
Morocco
Switzerland
