2022 World Cup Discussion

Funny, a bit strange effect of France winning this world cup.

Assuming they are going to it would be 2 world cup championships in a row - under no other but Didier Deschamps.

It was widely reported, that Zidane was supposed to take over after this tournament.

Looked like a perfect match up and great opportunity for him to extend his trophy galore.

Above mentioned France success may jeopardize this picture, because they would be double champions and what are the odds You may continue such pattern? Statistically next to zero...and what would be a success then for ZZ?

If i were Zizou I would be pissed off a bit;)
 
For pure fantasy and shock I'd love it if Morocco win the World cup but football wise I'd like to watch a France Argentina final.
 
Seems like defensive football is getting rewarded in the international tournaments.

Morocco and Croatia both play defensively and France plays a brand of counterattacking football.

Makes me wonder if someone like Mourinho would do well with an international side.

I think this is true for a couple of reasons.

There is less time to prepare an international team and a lot more work needs to go into developing attacking play than organising a defensive structure.

The other thing which I think has happened is that FIFA have run scared of losing players due to sendings off and repeat bookings.
There appears to me to be a lot of niggly fouls that stifle attacks that go sometimes ignored and very rarely booked which has hampered sides trying to attack.
I've not been impressed with the referees.
 
am so glad it's over for England, I can watch the world cup by the BBC update and maybe just watch the final

so crazy to host the world cup in the winter, but now we can put to bed the reason why we don't win the world cup in the summer, because of the Premier League and the amount of games we play and players are burnt out.
