Simulating World Cup 2022
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- The drama, the intensity, and the Football Manager-ness of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar are on full display, as we simulated the whole qualifying cycle and then the tournament itself. There were some surprise inclusions in the Qatar World Cup when we let FM actually handle the qualifying, but the real insanity happened once the teams were actually selected. The live sports simulations on FM simply never disappoint.
I enjoy these a ton, but they are just one simulation, the huge analytics simulation is coming once the real-life World Cup field is set in June. Those pesky qualifiers are delaying our FM simulation team for the moment. I promise though, we will do 100 simulations and give you all the answers you need. For now though, living the tournament in our alternate universe on the FM live sports save is the best we can get. I will take it, personally.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

Because it's FM, I'm going to predict that England stroll through the thing to win it.
Translation: I skipped to the end, found out who won, then tried to make myself seem clever/funny!
@@GIBBO4182 true, but also so predictable, that is funny, FM being FM!
@@GIBBO4182 Nope. I've been playing FM/CM a loooong time. They always overrate English players in the db. 9 times out of 10, left alone, England wins the first World Cup.
@@tmage23 bro, i saw 3 vids from this zealand guy, everytime england won
FM is developed by the English after all :b
Donnaruma gifting Benzema another goal...
You couldnt write this
Donnarumma was shit all tournament
FM accurately simulating Benzema being the luckiest player alive is incredible
@@matthewpotts7359 i sense tons of salt coming out of this comment
@@mateussousa8002 bro I don't support any of the "big teams" so Benzema's never given me any problems personally but it's obvious to a neutral that he's the jammiest player in history, about half his goals are gifted to him
@@matthewpotts7359 that just mean benzema good at pressuring opposition to make mistake. A rare skill to have even amongst elite strikers.
Better commentary than you get on Sky. Martin Tyler's shaking in his boots
Ikr! "Spinning away and it's Sterling to Kane" that flowed really nicely
'And the Dutch are flying'
why does he put on an australian accent
generally top draw stuff from the lad. decent english accent too.
England and United are what's keeping FM of being 100% realistic. Great video btw
I don’t see it as much with England. Man Utd are AWFUL in real life, but England are a definite top 4 international team, with a very young core coming through that is arguably better than the current team.
@@daviebananas1735 FM wins EVERY SINGLE sim tournament Z has done except for 1. As good as England is, they are not THAT good'.
@@jtp2007 But is he doing the sim with the same data and on the same game? I genuinely don’t know the answer by the way.
I do agree that it annoys me how dominant England are in FM, and have been for genuinely 20 years.
It’s only in recent years that it has started to be a bit more realistic.
The point I was making is that it’s quite possible they could be one of the dominant teams in the next few tournaments.
Man Utd constantly dominating from the very beginning on FM is a joke though. They haven’t been a top team for almost 10 years, and are arguably going backwards.
totally agree with those 2
Have any of you seen the update for Man Utd? You're talking rubbish, like how the Man Utd players are now rated.
The only one that triggered me was, Ronaldo has been rated with half the ability of Messi, I was close to sending in a formal complaint to FM.
I’ll save you all the bother of watching the video, Uzbekistan won the World Cup! The mighty White Wolves was led to glory by captain Eldor Azamat Shomurodov!
What a performance they had 🤩
truly inspiring stuff
This is true, I can confirm it
I was coaching South Korea and for WCQ in Asian there’s two different groups. I topped group A and Uzbekistan topped the other group haha
In Fm21*
That Portugal-Korea is actually so believable. Portugal plays down to the level of their oposition a lot. It would be the most Portugal thing ever to struggle so much to beat korea.
Fernando Santos manages to have a world class team that plays like a championship team vs a premier league side
yup,we're wasting our squad because of our manager. We won EURO2016 with him, that's why he's still there,and we won it the Fernando Santos way (that is drawing games till the final)
Portugal have always had results like that in them... I remember sitting down for some revision for an exam and having a stream of Portugal v Cyprus in the background.
Got no revision done. Game finished 4-4.
@@ThassosFrangeskou I swear to god that's the most Portugal thing ever
This aged well.
this aged like fine wine
always found it hilarious how OP they always make England in fm games
i mean they have some of the best upcoming youth as well as they made it to a semi final in the last WC then the finals of a euros
@@clipse_ They had incredibly lucky runs, they essentially lost to every real good team they came up against. Only good team they beat is Germany which they are not in a good moment.
@@Adrian-fj7bd This is true however the players in the england squad are individually very good at a club level so its fair how they're rated...
@@LCM12Lewis They have players that are a lot better than previous England squads, but still find that they are insanely overrated. The winner of next World Cup will be between France,Brazil,Argentina and Spain.
@@Adrian-fj7bd “France, Brazil, Argentina and Spain” really sticking your neck out there pal…😂
Ze’s in his element on these type of videos. Love it.
There is no Ze, there is only Clive.

*grows mustache and top hat
You can tell this is a computer game when 3 Man Utd defenders are on the winning side of a cup final. It’s actually embarrassing how OP United and their players continue to be on FM.
Grand commentary as always, Zealand.
England is allways OP in FM..
And Denmark is underpowered. Not even qualifying in this simulation when they were the best team in the european qualification in real life.
Best team in their group*
@@croissantpower pretty sure we had the best record (but I might be biased and wrong since I’m danish)
@@cyclingbread the next best teams in your group were Scotland and Israel so I think it really depends on who’s in your group
@@croissantpower none of the groups were difficult… there were at max 2 big nations in each. Id argue we got one of the more difficult one as Scotland Israel and austria all are capable teams
@@cyclingbread idk about most difficult, I'd say Poland, Switzerland, Serbia, Sweden, Russia and Turkey as 2nd best teams were more difficult
Your commentary always make me laugh, the combo of English and Australian accent is hilarious.
Would’ve been nice to see the player stats at the end…most goals, assists, average rating etc…
FM21: it's coming home
FM22: it's coming home
Reality: sike
@@MisaKirby ain’t it weird how France won the World Cup after losing the euros? In their own stadium?
Real Life: Out in Groups
@@RaphaelGameTube In finals*
@@hunterhorsehelmsley7315 On Pens* Unlike France, also France deserved being in the Euro and Wm Final after beating Teams like Germany (Euro 16, when they were Good) Belgium and Argentina. Unlike England which only came to the Euro Final thanks to Sterlings Dives and Fans with Laserpointers, man, they almost Lost against Denmark, in there on Stadium and while cheating (No offense to Denmark) before missing 3 Pens in a Row, IN THERE ON STADIUM, France atleast played good in the euros 16, drawing 0-0 till extra time against one of the strongest Portugal Sites of all time! So keep dreaming England Fans
Before watching the video, englands probably gonna win.
Edit: jeez that Argentina lineup was a troll
I feel like it awfully is in my saves too. I won the CL with an argentinian wonderkid singlehandedly willing us to victory against ManU and PSG, the kid was rated higher than messi in the League and they didnt even call him
why is zealand's commentary better than 99% of actual telly
This is 100% your niche. Great watch and undervalued comedy quotes at times. More commentary content please!!! Best FM watch in ages.
Messi getting subed in the 60th minute of a WC semi final. Never happening in reality unless he got injured.
honestly? if he plays anything like he did at the start of this season, I could see it happening
The manager would get slaughtered!
@@edwardking9359 no. The coach of Argentina national team is scaloni not god. Haha.
Besides they won the copa america last year with a side built around messi as the focal point. he played 90 mins on every single games. 7 games in a space of 3 weeks. And he wasn’t subbed even for a minute. So no its not happening unless he gets injured during a match.
@@aadesh7 He'll play even through injuries.
messi aint good
Mali made the semi finals in my game in 2022. Eventually lost to England who won it. Mali actually beat Argentina in the last 16. Mad
It always amazes me how nerfed brazil is in this simulations while england is suddenly a not crap team.
Zealand on commentary is the main reason I subbed to this channel
Mate, your commentary accent is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I was listening in the background, whilst playing FM22 of course, and had to double check that it was actually you speaking..
Great video. One thing that affects the international tournaments in FM is fitness, by the semi-finals or final, players are tired and some even if they play well don't make the pitch. For example Grealish in this sim.
Imagine Clive Livingsworth alongside Gary Neville on sky… make it happen !!!
Brilliant commentary Mr Clive Livingsworth and how lucky for England that FM exists.. that way, they can actually win something
Dude,!!!!!! I don't know if you're doing an impression of a particular commentator but as general impression of an English commentator that is outstanding
Like, if I hadn't seen you on the screen I'd have believed you were using stock commentary on your game footage. Bravo.
Before watching the video, I'm predicting that either England or Italy wins it. In my saves they are OP and either of them win all the tournaments in the 2020s.
Best commentary I've heard this season 👍
Honestly England is OP in Football Manager games even though in the real world they are certainly not one of the absolute best teams ever. Although I have really noticed a lot of the time, the actual good South American teams typically don't make it very far in the knockout stages on FM despite the fact that Argentina and Brazil have probably made more semi finals in World Cups than a lot of European nations have.
Ehhhh i mean England are 1st or 2nd favourites for this upcoming world cup anyway tbf
@@RumAndCokeToGo not even close, the only ones that think england is favorite is english people
@@RumAndCokeToGo 1st or 2nd favourites to drop out of tournament that is
@@RumAndCokeToGo Brazil, spain, argentina and France are clear than england
@@atalante6024 Ah yes the past two tournaments have been a semi final and final. A final lost on pens after basically dominating the entire match. But sure favourites to drop out of probably the easiest group...
*_This Is Like Combining Your Two Worlds_* 🌝🔥
Great work by everyone involved. Thank you!
Commentary was insane 😂 Peter Drury would be proud
Amazing commentary, Had me shoutin and celebrating. Great Video
Need more of this
Man the commentary is soooo good! You're very talented
this was such obscenely good content.
Well that was brilliantly commentated and some good and intense games. Also that was the most portuguese and english way to sleaze to a final. i would never ever have bet on tammy abraham having a brace in a final though!
Your turning into the Golden FM of this World Cup loved his videos last World Cup but he’s stopped uploading
Somebody just has to hire Clive Livingsworth to commentate on the World Cup, phenomenal performance Zealand
Better commentary then ANY American commentator ever
I must say this is by far the best simulation and comentary I ever seen really well doine:D
The bias of Sports Interactive towards England and Man United is still going strong.
CLIVE! World class commentary
This is the future of Zealand. I'd love for BBC to have the red button option for alternative commentary for a Zealand World Cup commentators option.
That must be quite possibly the most Scottish way of putting ourselves out we really are our own worst enemies 😂😂
I've been waiting for so long!❤ Thank you! Your a Legend 🙌
been waiting for this video :D
I celebrated that rashford goal like it was the real world cup 🤣🤣
Brilliant.
"THIS GAME SUCKS" was the last thing I read in chat
superb video Zealand, your seriously seriously good at commentating lad!
He did the whole qualifying and world cup in the time it takes me to do one match.
England is that team that's all talk and no game, the one who always chickens out at the moments of pressure, but somehow they always win World Cups on FM. That is the single most unrealistic aspect of this game, honestly.
I feel blessed to watch your commentary series!!!! Feels great!
Please do this with the entire international cycle 2023-2026. Marathon of a video, but very entertaining
This is amazing. I used to do do exactly this on Sensible Soccer back in the day, writing down the results, working out the tables and setting up the knock-out stages. What a blast from my past, thanks Z!! :D
Amazing commentary
Oh my, ur commentary is unexpectedly good
Ngl the Dybala free kick and Zea's casting gave me goosebumps
Let’s go I’ve been waiting 👀
In FM22 you always know the outcome of a freekick before it happens......
great content as always, ze
52:43 poetry on the commentary!
That's some unbelievably good commentating
I threw this on just to have something playing in the background, but by the knockout stages started I was on the edge of my seat 😅
Loved this, your commentating is top notch 👌
Watch England choke in the R16 or QF in real life.
i love these videos. hope you will also simulate the real worldcup soon. i could watch this all day lol.
What a video Z, entertaining all throughout!
My dad overheard this video and genuinely thought you were the commentator for the Tottenham game so that Clyde voice is getting pretty good
You get so passionate about the live sports saves which is great I can't wait for you to take austria to a world cup
Outstanding commentary! Shocked Canada got pipped in qualification by Haiti but that's FM for you
Like England would ever gonna win a major tournament.
They already have before
Ramsdale's walk...I lost it
9:02 USA finishing bottom of the group. Yeah, seems legit. 😭😂
I would cry with joy and excitement if you were speaking the Denmark games for this WC22
IT CAME HOME BOYS
I didn’t know you were that good at commentary
no way this is out. i started this game 3 days ago and love all of zealands videos.
Great concept, loved the commentary
You have a great voice. That was fun
Interesting to see Wan Bissaka get the nod over Trent and James. And as usual England over rated ;).
My Friday morning😍😍😍😍
Dude you should be a real football commentator. You're radio voice is perfect
*Insert Shrek's "like that's ever gonna happen" meme*
Donnaruma: "FLASHES FROM UCL"
this was fun! do another one when it gets closer and I'll watch it too
I’d pay to hear Ze commentate on the actual WC matches
Always knew FM was realistic. It's Coming Home, It's Coming Home, It's Coming Football's coming home.
Great commentary too by the way.
Tactical masterclass from Southgate.
Zealand a better commentator than Martin Tyler this is so good
Lol I genuinely enjoyed the commentary, am I strange? Lol
England and man u always stupidly op in fm
LOVELY COMMENTARY
Haiti and Jamaica and others might have qualified against the odds but Poland with more than 3 points is the most unrealistic thing to happen in this video
The tears of chat whenever England play is hilarious. IT'S COMING HOME
Brits after screaming it's coming home for the 7th billion time in a row in the last 60 years even though they have won absolutely nothing be like.
The amount of times that Donnaruma tried to end Italy participation on the WC is unbelievable lol
Goalkeeper error 🤝 Important Benzema goal
the commentary is cracking me up
You should fully transition into being Clive full time
The neighbours must love him.
I'll be waiting for the 2026 World cup Simulation as this was really great great job
