FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022: Other Teams Thread

We only conceded one from open play

 

There really isn't a team in this tournament to fear

 

USA

 

France are a level above England.

 

Here we go. I don't agree at all. They have done nothing In this tournament. Nothing to convince me they are a level above

 

Are they? They looked good against Australia and ok against Denmark. If we do play them I think its close to a 50/50 game.

 

I think they'd be dominant physically, technically and tactically.

 

We have to remember both teams have to get through the next round first. But tactically Deschamps is no better than Southgate. I mean they got knocked out the euros by Switzerland. As for physically and technically we won't know until/if we play them.

 

I don't think they are physically or technically superior. Maybe their defense is physically stronger but midfield rice and Bellingham are definitely technically and physically stronger than touachemeni and rabiot. Out wide saka rashford foden grealish are as technically as good as dembele and coman

 

The DFB want to continue with Hansi Flick, mainly due to the lack of better alternatives available. Flick himself wants to stay and is fired up for Euro 2024 in Germany. He told his players at the team dinner after last night's game: "We will come back stronger" [@BILD] pic.twitter.com/lQzoS6mjF9

Jürgen Klopp is unavailable for the job. Thomas Tuchel, on the other hand, can imagine taking over - but a problem is Hans-Joachim Watzke, who will be more involved in the national team from now on. The pair have a strained relationship from their time together at BVB [@BILD]

Mmmmm Dembele is actually unplayable when he’s having a good night

 

And grealish saka foden aren't?

 

Gabriel Jesus will miss the rest of the World Cup, sources close to player and Brazil confirm. He has pain in his knee and won’t be able to be back during the competition. 🚨🇧🇷 #Qatar2022

Maybe Grealish like the game a year or so ago against Germany I think but the other two don’t ever dominate games .

I watch every Barca game and some games Dembele is simply out of this world

 

Well Jesus is out of the World Cup now after he was savagely assaulted against Cameroon ..

Neymar is also reportedly out but they are hoping he may make the final ( won’t be fit though) .

So Brazil have to hope that Richarlison doesn’t get crocked

 

It’s like I predicted after the first couple of games .. the refs are letting too much go .
The cynical players know they can whack a few even injure them ( Neymar now Jesus ) without even getting a warning !!

Two of the world’s best forwards are now effectively out of the WC .

Also Messi and Mitrovic , Foden , Kane plus tigers are all carrying ankle / foot injuries.

 

Tigers are playing?

 

Oh dear

USA have completely dominated the Netherlands in the opening 10 minutes, but one counter attack and they're behind.

 

That was an excellent team goal.

 

Leckie? Hes been good for Australia

 

The Dutch feel like the team who will go fairly far but won’t win. Feel like Argentina, Brazil, France or Spain will beat them.

 

Usa have been the better side but haven't had that final touch. If they had a quality striker they'd be in front
