TVPLAY | Qatar 2022, the Sky journalist has his say on the World Cup being held in Qatar.
The group stage of Qatar 2022 is not yet over, but the picture doesn’t look much clearer than a fortnight ago. There are those who surprised, those who disappointed, those who won but did not excite. In short, it is difficult today to understand which team will be able to go ahead in the rainbow and perhaps even make it to the final in Lusail. The big favourites, however, continue to be the two South Americans, Argentina and Brazil.
La Seleccion got off to a poor start with a defeat, historic as it was, against surprising Saudi Arabia, but made up for it in the next game by thrashing Mexico 2-0 thanks to a venomous left-footer from Leo Messi, who again pulled Scaloni’s chestnuts out of the fire. Tite’s Seleçao, on the other hand, did better, winning 2-0 on their debut against Serbia with a brace from an unstoppable Richarlison. Among the Europeans, reigning champions France and Spain, one step away from the round of 16, got off on the right foot.

The situation of Argentina and Brazil was also discussed by Marco Bucciantini, the Sky journalist who spoke at the microphones of calciomercato.it on Twitch TvPlay. Who at the end of the interview also launched into a prediction about the possible final. “At the moment Argentina are in the hunt for compromises,” he said, “However, matches are long, they won the last one even with the changes. Now we have to see it without the monkey of elimination, it can play with a little more freedom’. And Brazil? According to Bucciantini, ‘it is a serious, tough team, it has points of reference, I am sorry that Neymar is missing, he takes too many kicks. He will never arouse great sympathy, he does slaloms where he ends up taking a lot of kicks. When he is missing you can feel it, he has a brave way of playing. In the dream final, however, for Bucciantini there would be neither: ‘My heart’s final is Spain-Denmark, don’t ask me why’.
