Re: FIFA 2022 world cup

England vs France yesterday was a very interesting match. The results proved that sometimes stats are not a reflection of what a team looks like, judging by the stats England were the favorite to win the match. But France found it more easier to win, England didnt stand a chance against the French defense. I expected more from England because I watch the English premier league regularly and had high hopes for the English team. Is England overrated?

England is has a great team when it comes to football, I don't think they are overrated, it is just that France is better, I don't know where you found the stats that made you believe that England would or should win against France, but from the odds in online sportsbooks, it showed that gamblers were betting massively on France, so I am personally not surprised that France won, from the initial beginning of the match, I expected them to win, it would have been a surprise to me if they didn't.
So for me, I don't think England is overrated, they are indeed good, but from all indications, France is better in football than England.

Considering the balance between France and England, France is a stronger team. I think the balance is in favor of France. England is never a weak team. They are still unlucky in terms of penalties. Had Kane scored the second penalty, they could have gone to overtime and maybe even won. It was what a lot of people expected, and France won. For me, the dream for Morocco will be this far. It's really hard to beat France.

Indeed, England fans still can't believe they were beaten like this. If Harry Kane had been able to score the second penalty goal, the game might have gone to extra time, and England might have won.

I like it when reading from people that are posting in fantasy, nonetheless, it was a good game from France. Although England was a good team in the match too, this does not give anyone the downgrading right on the French team that played well and still had luck on their side. I don't think that 1-2 in favour of France is a mistake. The French scored the first goal in the first half, while England scored the equalizer in the second half before Olivier Giroud give France the winning match. What could be heroic more than that? England has done their part but France that is the defending champion was better fantastic. Case closed!

The importance of this match was further increased by the advance of Morocco. Even if England had probably won this match, they would have been strong enough to eliminate Morocco. Now there is a very high probability that France will reach the final. My guess is that we will see a final between France and Argentina and both teams are strong enough to be champions. It would be a big surprise if someone from Morocco or Croatia makes it to the final.
