Yesterday night ended the last international games before WC (some teams will have on game in like November but we got the essential this week)
Am gonna analyze the teams performances, let's start group by group
A group :
Qatar : Started with a difficult game against Canada, lost 2 - 0 with a very average performance, but they had quite a nice reaction by snatching the draw against Chile (2 - 2) after a very good game
Senegal : Did a very solid performance against Bolivia (winning 2 - 0) then drawed Iran (1 - 1), against Iran they had some problems with their passes, however they dominated the match and could've scored like 3 goals, but the goalie and defender Hajsafi saved their team several times
Ecuador : Two draws for them against Saudi Arabia and Japan (0 - 0 for both games), quite solid team but has some issues scoring goals
The Neds : Looks very solid, beated Poland 2 - 0 after a convincing performance, then beated Belgium 1 - 0, they look quite strong for World Cup, big out-sider
B group :
England : Suffered a very disappointing loss against Italy (1 - 0) and drawed Germany after a thrilling game (3 - 3), their attack looks strong but gosh their defense is sooo weak, Maguire should be benched
Iran : Probably one of the most solid teams in these friendly games, beated Uruguay (1 - 0) and snatched the draw against Senegal (1 - 1), Azmoun seems in a stunning form and I can see Iran being an underdog this year, their defense is very solid and they have players who can score
USA : Disappointing run from them, lost 2 - 0 against Japan and drawed Saudi Arabia (0 - 0), but I won't judge them on these game since they missed their two stars, Weah and Pulisic
Wales : They lost 2 - 1 against Belgium and 1 - 0 against Poland, but I thought they played quite well in both games, and they also missed their maestro Ramsey, they could be dangerous in their group tbh, they have a good team
C group :
Argentina : They crushed Honduras and Jamaica 3 - 0, so far thet look like the strongest team with Brazil, nothing much to say that y'all don't already know
Polen : They did quite a weak game against The Neds (lost 2 - 0) but were good against Wales and won 1 - 0, they seem quite solid even if I don't understand why their coach doesn't align a tandem Milik/Lewandowski in attack
Mexico : Hard to judge since I didn't watch the games, beating Peru 1 - 0 seems like a solid performance, and a loss 3 - 2 against Colombia doesn't seem that bad, I don't know tbh
Saudi Arabia : Solid performances there, snatching two draw against Ecuador and USA (0 - 0 for both) which are stronger teams, they have a pretty good defense but the attack looks weak, they probably won't make it to the round of sixtenn but can be a rough challenge
D group :
France : Nice win against Austria first (2 - 0) but then a big loss against Denmark (2 - 0), their team had a lot of injuries tho so hard to judge, but from what I read the cohesion in the team isn't at it's best, Mbappe being a drama queen lmao, can the curse of last winner continue with them ?
Denmark : Disappointing loss against Croatia (2 - 1) but very solid performance against France, to me they look like the WC dark horse, a very good team with a nice play to watch, also they were semi-finalists in last Euro and seem to continue being strong
Tunisia : Solid performance by beating the Comoros (1 - 0) but then a big fiasco against Brazil (lost 5 - 1), seems like they will have a hard time but I wouldn't write them off, they can surprise us !
Australia : They played two games against New Zealand and won both (1 - 0 and 2 - 0), solid stuff overall but I don't think playing two games against the same opponent is the best way to prepare World Cup ?
E group :
Germany : Suffered a disappointing loss against Hungary (1 - 0) and then drawed England, for them I have the same comment that England's one
Spain : Disappointing loss against Swiss (2 - 1) and then solid victory against Portugal (1 - 0) from what I saw they play quite poorly tho, but I believe that they'll be strong at WC, one of the favourites
Japan : Solid stuff by beating USA 2 - 0 and snatching the draw against Ecuador (0 - 0), being in this group is a very hard challenge for them, but I believe they can make the two ogres above doubt against them
Costa Rica : Quite nice performances overall from them, a draw against South Korea (2 - 2) and a victory against Uzbekistan (2 - 1), but I think they're dead on arrival this year, I can't see them qualifying at all
F group :
Belgium : Oh man am worried, the performance against Wales was good (won 2 - 1), but against The Neds it was bad (lost 1 - 0), I don't understand Martinez's choices overall, Belgium looks in trouble to me but I hope they can still make a nice World Cup
Morocco : Very solid performance against Chile (won 2 - 0) but then a disappointing result against Paraguay despite playing really well (0 - 0), the new coach did changes that made the team so much better, our play is beautiful to watch for once but we just miss a scorer
Croatia : They are back for real, very solid performances against Denmark and Austria (won 2 - 1 and 3 - 1), you should never underestimate these dudes, based on last months performances they are the big fave of the group, but like I said earlier I can see everyone qualifying and everyone missing in this group so they are not 100% safe
Canada : Good performance against Qatar (won 2 - 0) but were dominated by Uruguay (lost 2 - 0), their play is nice to watch tbh but they still seem to try to find where to put Davies, (they tried LB, LW and AM), the dark horse of the group
G group :
Brazil : Man there's impressive stuff there, they totally crushed Ghana and Tunisia (3 - 0 and 5 - 1), if you ask me they're the big favourites of this year's cup, but surprises can happen
Switzerland : Very solid stuff there, they beated Spain 2 -1 and then dominated Czech Rep (3 - 1), Switzerland is always a very difficult team to play against, can't wait to see what they're going to do this year
Serbia : Oh man here is a dark horse, they crushed Sweden (4 -1) and beated Norway 2 - 0, their attack is impressive, solid midfield and good defense, these dudes will be very hard to play against, and I clearly see them as a strong dark horse
Cameroon : This is disappointing, some months ago they looked very strong but this month's performances are poor, they lost against Uzbekistan and South Korea (2 - 0 and 1 - 0), well my dear Eto'o, I think you're one to blame by puting some much pressure in these guys telling them they should win World Cup
H group :
Portugal : Convincing win against Czech Rep (4 - 0) and disappointing loss against Spain (1 - 0) I don't think they deserved to lose that game tho, they looks very solid imo, we shouldn't underestimate them !
Uruguay : Disappointing loss against Iran (1 - 0) but then a convincing win against Canada (2 - 0), they look strong as always, but maybe a bit less that last edition, can they be the shock NQ ?
South Korea : Nice stuff from them, a draw against Costa Rica (2 - 2) and a win against Cameroon (1 - 0), they can bring the surprise but they still seem way weaker that Portugal and Uruguay
Ghana : How poor man, but am not surprised since they qualified with luck, they got crushed by Brazil (3 - 0) and had a hard time beating Nicaragua (1 - 0), I wonder how they even qualified man, I wouldn't even rank them in Africa top 10 (I don't even know if I can rank them in African top 15 actually ?), I just hope they'll get better and not embarass themselves in WC
Holy shit that was long
