Along with the Brazilians, the current world champions are said to be the biggest favorites, they are defending the throne, they have the best football player in the world, the biggest star of today, and a coach who has been on the bench for ten years, a powerful team and – problems. Once you get to the top, you can only go downhill. And the selection of Didier Deschamps touched the stars in Russia and has been in free fall ever since. Yes, they won the Nations League with an epic upset over Belgium, but they looked like a deflated balloon at the European Championship, and were so disinterested in the last edition of the Nations League that they narrowly avoided moving to the B division by just one point.France captain Hugo Lloris says there’s too much pressure to protest at the upcoming Qatar World Cup. pic.twitter.com/hRRvPllbmf— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) November 14, 2022 Perhaps it was just preparation for a big comeback, because on paper the Frenchmen look mighty, even without Paul Pogba, N’golo Kante, and Christopher Nkunku (injured). Karim Benzema gives this team more dimension through his very appearance, Kylian Mbappe is four years older after the World Cup in Russia, where he shone (the question is whether he is more mature)…Group B – Three English-speaking countries and the Islamic Republic they often speak aboutIn reality, a potential vanity. It wouldn’t be the first time, but there are rumors that Mbappe and Benzema don’t really like each other, and previously Mbappe didn’t really like Olivier Giroud either, who was the difference maker in Russia. Here, the question is how to calm the ego, because there are many stars and few workers… And, the French will have to fight against a strong tradition: in this century, only Brazil were the defending champion who passed the group.##NAJAVA_MECA_6816262##Nobody got to the World Cup by accident, except maybe Qatar, but the Danes did it in style, as the second European team by winning the first nine games. And they conceded only three goals (two of which came in the final game, when everything was already decided). Last year they surprised the world when they made it to the semi-finals of the European Championship and went down against the English but only after extra time. Few people pay attention to them and their great attacking performance, with an average of three goals per game in the World Cup qualifiers. The Danes defeated the world champions France twice in the League of Nations. In the last two major competitions, the Danes were unlucky. Maybe this time they will have just a bit of luck on their side.Group A – Four continents collide as African champions look to break the mould and reach for gloryIt may not be realistic for the Eagles of Carthage to qualify for the knockout stage, especially if it is known that only three African national teams have reached the quarter-finals (Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana). The only thing is certain: this selection has learned to compete, refuting the thesis that selections from the Black Continent are not tactically disciplined and neglect their obligations in defense. In the qualifiers, only Morocco and Mali conceded fewer goals than Tunisia, and then it was against Mali that Jalel Kadri’s team eliminated their rivals with their defensive stability by not conceding a goal for 180 minutes in the barrage, and conceding one, thus reaching the final tournament for the sixth time Mundial.For the first time in history, all African countries qualified for the World Cup will be led by coaches from their country: – Rigobert Song: Cameroon 🇨🇲 – Aliou Cisse: Senegal 🇸🇳 – Walid Regragui: Morocco 🇲🇦 – Otto Addo: Ghana 🇬🇭 – Jalel Kadri: Tunisia 🇹🇳 Big deal 👌 pic.twitter.com/gCvy059lSG— POOJA!!! (@PoojaMedia) November 16, 2022 Participating in the last four World Cups, Australia has earned a reputation as one of the most consistent teams in the 21st century. The Kangaroos confirmed that status with their fifth consecutive placement at the World Cup, but they went to Qatar only by winning on penalties in the intercontinental play-off against Peru. The general impression is that they qualified with the weakest squad in the last two decades, so their setbacks in the qualifiers against Japan and Saudi Arabia are not surprising. This year, they played nine games, and in only one did they score more than two goals, back in January against Vietnam (4:0). Certainly not enough to reach the knockout stage in Qatar.WORLD CUPTuesday, Nov 22nd16:00: (1.45) Denmark (4.20) Tunisia (8.00) D19:00: (2.75) Mexico (2.95) Poland (2.85) C22:00: (1.25) France (6.25) Australia (11.0) DSaturday, Nov 26th13:00: (2.90) Tunisia (3.00) Australia (2.65) D16:00: (1.63) Poland (3.80) Saudi Arabia (5.70) C19:00: (2.00) France (3.40) Denmark (3.90) DWednesday, Nov 30th18:00: (10.0) Tunisia (5.00) France (1.33) D18:00: (7.00) Australia (3.60) Denmark (1.58) D***odds are subject to change***
