World Cup Squads 2022

[stefan92]

Just realized how many big players might be playing their last world cup. Müller, Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neuer, Cavani, Benzema etc.

And some players who hoped for their last World cup have to accept that they haven't been called up like Hummels.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Thanks mate! I think we chosed the wrong tactic, were too open in the final and referee feked us up a bit too. Also Subašić was playing injured and didnt move for 2 of French goals which he maybe could have saved. But a huge success nevertheless which was celebrated here to no end. You dont end up in WC final every day.

This team is better and has more depth than the one in 2018 so here's hoping we'll have another good tournament.

We must catch first spot in group. If not, our path in knockout phase will be brutal.
I hate playing against Portugal

Spain, Portugal, France, Brasil is our path this world cup. Easy peasy .

 

[Ramos]

In the past only 4 players were part of 5 different world cup squads (Carbajal, Matthäus, Marquez and Buffon).

This tournament alone 5 players could be going to their 5th world cup: Messi, Ronaldo, Guardado, Ochoa and Sergio Ramos.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Ours is announced today. Apparantly no Cillessen, which I personally love. Can't stand the cnut.

I still remember your penalty shootout vs Argentina. Guy managed to dodge all penalty shots. Lvg fecked then with not saving substitution like he did with Krul vs Costa Rica.

I think I watched the reveal video of this. Where they went to every city each player is from. It’s made me want Uruguay to win it even more now

Yeah, that reveal video was solid. Great way of revealing the squad.

Posting it here for anyone who haven't seen it yet.

That's great. Makes you want to visit. Weird how football teaches you stuff. I know little to nothing about Uruguay but once i saw Salto i knew it was for Suarez and Cavani.

I think Cillessen stopped his first penalty about 10 years into his career.

Damn. I have no affiliation to Uruguay but even that makes me want to put on their shirt and run through a brick wall for them.

 

[BlackShark_80]

Portugal:

Goalkeepers - Rui Patricio (Roma), Diogo Costa (Porto), Jose Sa (Wolves)

Defenders - Pepe (Porto), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Joao Cancelo (Manchester City), Nuno Mendes (PSG), Diogo Dalot (Manchester United), Antonio Silva (Benfica), Raphael Guerreiro (Dortmund)

Midfielders - Vitinha (PSG), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Ruben Neves (Wolves), Danilo Pereira (PSG), Palhinha (Fulham), Joao Mario (Benfica), Otavio (Porto), Matheus Nunes (Wolves), William (Real Betis)

Forwards: Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Rafael Leao (AC Milan), Andre Silva (Leipzig), Goncalo Ramos (Benfico), Ricardo Horta (Braga)

Only 3 CBs? i suppose Pereira could play there, surprised Santos didn't call Inacio.

 

[justsomebloke]

Only surprise is neither Mendy or Digne at LB behind Theo. Laurens was full of sh*t with his 4 GK and Camavinga missing when we have Pogba & Kante out.

Mendy? Isn't he in prison?

 

[Ramos]

Netherlands:

GK: Justin Bijlow (Feyenoord), Remko Pasveer (Ajax), Andries Noppert (sc Heerenveen)

DF: Nathan Aké (Manchester City), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern München), Jurriën Timber (Ajax), Stefan de Vrij (Internazionale), Daley Blind (Ajax), Denzel Dumfries (Internazionale), Tyrell Malacia (Manchester United), Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen)

MF: Steven Berghuis (Ajax), Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona), Teun Koopmeiners (Atalanta), Davy Klaassen (Ajax), Marten de Roon (Atalanta), Xavi Simons (PSV), Kenneth Taylor (Ajax).

FW: Steven Bergwijn (Ajax), Memphis Depay (FC Barcelona), Cody Gakpo (PSV), Vincent Janssen (Antwerp), Luuk de Jong (PSV), Wout Weghorst (Besiktas), Noa Lang (Club Brugge)

Forwards: Agustín Canobbio, Facundo Pellistri, Facundo Torres, Luis Suárez, Darwin Núñez, Edinson Cavani y Maximiliano Gómez.

So Pellistri is good enough to make the Uruguay NT for the World Cup but can't displace Elanga enough to get a few minutes against shite like Omonia and Sheriff.

 

[Lennon7]

Spain’s is the worst out the traditionally successful countries. Some major omissions.

ETH needs to get his act together quickly.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Gravenbach and Renato Sanches chose to be bench players at superclubs and now they’re missing the World Cup

 

[saivet]

Dutch defence looks quite good, doesn't look a good squad otherwise.

I don't know what I was expecting but Spain's squad looks underwhelming on paper.

Think I'll revise my World Cup predictor for my work competition and have Denmark as surprise finalists. Might be going too big on them but thinking to have then topping the group over France, beating England in the QF and from seeing that Spain squad I'll have them beating Spain in the SF now.

Great to see Frimpong make it over Rensch. He deserves it.

 

[justsomebloke]

ETH needs to get his act together quickly.

Or maybe he just goes by what he sees in training every day. And maybe he noted Pellistri didn't register a single goal or assist at Alaves last season. In short - maybe Pellistri isn't necessarily the bees knees at PL level even if he's in the Uruguay squad.

(Or maybe you were being sarcastic?)

Hmm. Naw. I don't see this team making it to the final.

Mostly fine with 2 very weird exceptions. Flekken should've been in instead of Pasveer or Noppert and taking Noa Lang over Danjuma is utterly ridiculous.

Also unsure about Taylor over Gravenbergh. Taylor had some good appearances this season, but he's definitely not better than Gravenbergh. Seems a bit like Louis being miffed that he adviced young players to not go to a big club too quickly and Gravenbergh said okay boomer, and signed with Bayern.

That is an underwhelming squad particularly up front. Enrique is by far the best coach in the tournament though so he might just surprise us. No Thiago is good news for Liverpool.

Struijk should have opted for Belgium. Would have been at the WC now. He had no chance with those Dutch CB's.

 

[Uniquim]

Yeah, I'll be cheering for them this World Cup. Partly because of the video, but it's also likely the last World Cup for Cavani, Suarez, Godín, Muslera, Cáceres, and possibly Coates and Vecino.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

I’m Welsh but on paper England have possibly the best squad. Fortunately they also have one of the worst managers.

 

[justsomebloke]

Maybe.

Ah. You know, it's genuinely hard to tell around here (not you specifically, but generally).

I’ve bought a few of these. OLED 72 inch.

Quite a lame attempt at humour, and might be deemed slightly racist depending on sensitivity? Can we find some stereotypes to make fun of your country too
