From Group A (Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal and the Netherlands), Senegal is the most likely to advance, along with the three-time World Cup silver medalist Netherlands. Mateus is optimistic about Qatar: he has visited the host country several times in the winter and believes it would be the perfect time for football.
Among the members of Group AB (England, Iran, United States and Wales), England and the United States will survive the group stage, according to the 1990 Ballon d’Or winner.
From group AC (Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland), the Argentine national team, which is no longer completely dependent on Messi, stands out. Aside from South America, Mateos sees Mexico as an opportunity to advance.
Group AD (France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia) includes one of the biggest contenders for the World Cup, the French national team. Didier Deschamps’ team faltered in the League of Nations, but it will gather itself by November, among other things, because The team that won the World Cup in 1998 has the most people. According to Matthaus, the other striker, the Danish squad will be: The Scandinavians don’t play great football, but they are tactically disciplined and know the tactics to be practiced from their sleep.
The former Hungary captain expects the two big European teams to qualify from Group E (Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan). The 150-time former national team player expects the Spaniards to be among the top four, but this time he did not include his home country among the contenders. He added that who knows what the Germans could do under the leadership of the best goalkeeper in the world, Manuel Neuer.
In Group F (Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia), there can be no doubt about the identity of the two people who will advance: Mateusz votes for the two European countries. This year’s tournament may be the last chance for the Belgian “golden generation” to win something. Croatia isn’t as strong as it was four years ago, but it shouldn’t be a problem to get out of the group.
Regarding the four teams in Group G (Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon). Matthews pointed out that his first opponent in the World Cup is the Brazilian national team. Although Silicao is placed in the hardest group. “Individually, they are very strong, they have no weaknesses, and the members of the professional apparatus can choose from among the best footballers,” it will not be easy in the group stage. Switzerland and Serbia are strong opponents, among the two teams, due to past memories, our southern neighbor was chosen as the presumed winner.
In group AH (Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea), Portugal is the favorite, and its development is not in question, but According to Matthaus, the 2016 European champion will still make it into the top eight, but no more than that. South Korea could be the other set of passersby.
He loves the Hungarian national team
A few weeks ago, Lothar Matthaus and his son watched Hungary’s Nations League match against Germany in Budapest. The 61-year-old world star was impressed by the atmosphere of the Puskás Arena and also praised Marco Rossi’s team. More recently, from last year’s European Championship to the current Nations League series, the Hungarian side have outperformed, and their victories against the English, especially the 4-0 win at Wolverhampton, have drawn attention in Germany as well. Lothar Matthäus loves to watch the Hungarian national team matches and is proud to have been able to serve at the helm of the Hungarian national team before.
