This is hands down the best pre World Cup analysis I’ve seen, and dare say probably the best one on the internet. No need to look elsewhere, this was the most informative AND culturally accurate presentation you’ll find
I am actually a freshman and honestly this is my first world cup watching it and actually understanding how important it is to the countries. Thanks Maqwell for this wonderful preview btw its always a good day when you post
@@samplingmastersxlr8660 Let’s be honest big tournaments are always filled with politics… human rights… no to racism… blm… and so on bla bla bla I'm actually even thankful that FIFA won't bother us with this lgbtq+XYZ2.0 stuff during the World Cup
you forgot to talk about brasil’s striker Pedro, who has scored 27 goals in all competitions, including 12 in the Copa Libertadores, he is playing so well he got Firmino spot in the World cup.
Neuer is not above average, he is consistently a top 10 GK in the world throughout the years. That's not above average, that's being one of the best. Also no mention of Sane and Gnabry, who are having a baller of a season.
Now we fuckin talking. As a Mexican fan I tend to want to get upset at your views, but as a person I can't help but to agree due to obvious reasons that I acknowledge as a fan. Keep it up man, your content is great.
50:50 I was actually talking about this yesterday. I personally believe the 2002 World Cup was one of the purist World Cup‘s out there. Absolutely no corruption at all. South Korea suddenly made a surprisingly deep run, when South Korea was cohosting, and also at the same time when the president of FIFA was South Korean. And the referee of the South Korea and Italy game went on to become a very highly respected law abiding citizen. Clearly no corruption.
The German forward I'm looking forward to the most actually is Niclas Füllkrug (who wasn't even mentioned, but this video was probably made before the official line-up was revealed, so no big deal). No prior national team experience (for the senior team at least, he played a couple of youth matches before), but what a forward he is. One of the best in the Bundesliga right now, and for the first time since Klose retired, it feels like we have a proper #9 again with him in the team. (How fitting that he actually got the shirt number #9 too for the national team.) What makes me hopeful is that he'd work extremely well with the Bayern block in midfield - they're used to having a strong #9 in front of them. Lewandowski previously, now Choupo-Moting, and Füllkrug seems like the player who would mesh with this by far the best. Especially because he's also extremely good with headers, just like Klose used to be. Here's hoping Flick will actually use him! Seriously though, what a ride it's been for the guy. Last year at this time, he was in the second league with Bremen in Germany, and didn't even score that much. Then in the second half of the season he suddenly scores like crazy, actually keeps it up in the Bundesliga, and is the big reason the team is currently as high in the table as it is. Guy more than deserves it (and hey, I'm just happy my favorite team finally has a German national player again for the World Cup, last time was 2010).
I actually hope that flick will be courageous enough to let Moukoko play as a starter. No offense but i have my doubts on Füllkrug and if he even can fit the team. Btw in my opinion you should be offended that flick nominated Klostermann and Kehrer (completely unnecessary) instead of nominating Weiser which in my opinion would’ve solved germanys RB problem completely and would’ve changed the face and play of Germany completely in the best possible way.
@@cmenomore8119 Oh, I'm absolutely sharing that opinion regarding Klostermann and Kehrer as well as not bringing along Weiser (I'd go a step further - not a defense player but I absolutely don't understand why he's bringing Adeyemi along), but no point in getting offended about that since at this point it's too late anyways, unless one of the questionable choices suddenly gets injured shortly before the world cup (which you'd wish on nobody, not even the bad players). Moukoko I see as a sub exclusively, unless he gets subbed in a group game and absolutely explodes right away in terms of performance, then Flick might try him as a starter down the line I guess. For Füllkrug, I can absolutely cases where he should be the starter without even any sort of discussion about it, most notably in the first group stage game against Japan. Against potential opponents later in the knockout stages (assuming we get that far) - who knows.
@@segafreak2000 I would make the claim that Klostermann or Kehrer even make sense just both of them doesn’t make sense since in my opinion they’re basically the same player with Klostermann being better than Kehrer in everything plus he got the pace. I actually like Klostermann. I’m just unable to see any point in nominating Kehrer especially when i take in consideration how Weiser performed during the past couple weeks. I agree on your opinion about Adeyemi the only reasonable explanation i can imagine is that Flick just thought kinda like "I don’t care how he performed so far. I got a plan for him and for this plan i need him an his pace." but his nomination definitely can’t be justified by his performances so far. But the potential is there without any doubt. I have to admit I’ve never seen Füllkrug actually play but I’ve watched the brazil scout video a couple of minutes ago th-cam.com/video/8LJO9TVrL7s/w-d-xo.html and what I’ve seen actually pleasantly surprised me. He seems to have a very good first touch, technique and even dribbling with some 1 on 1 ability plus he also show flashes of some flair and finesse i have to admit that i didn’t expect that. Since you’re a Werder Bremen supporter and so i guess you watch him regularly can you tell me if the brazil scout video shows an accurate picture of him? Also can’t rate his pace from this video but he seems to have at least an ok pace (not being slow) is that accurate? And does he play as a single striker at Bremen? Edit: From his archetype would you a agree on that he’s something like between Marko Arnautovic and Harry Kane? Since that’s how i would describe him from what I’ve seen.
@@cmenomore8119 Pretty much in regards to your assessment. One additional thing the video can't quite show is also that even very late into a game, Füllkrug remains a threat. A lot of our goals this season were very late into the game, and he's usually involved in these too (while being on the pitch since the beginning of the game).
As an Iranian who watches your videos regularly i just wanted to say i really appreciated the fact that you talked about the protests in iran When you said women life freedom i nearly cried Thank you and keep up the good work❤
Supporting Poland, Croatia and Serbia as a Slovak person. Always supporting my Slavic bros. Oh and i keep an eye on Brazil as well as i have the feeling that they can make it all the way.
Australias got a much deeper squad than hrustic, ryan, mcgree and mooy, players like goodwin, mclaren and cummings are the best players in our domestic league. considering how tall irvine is, goodwin's crossing ability and skill from set pieces will always set him up
love your vibe and insights. great to see your channel already booming. wish you a great WC watch and yeah, my German team is an interesting case. I write it down here: IF Moukoko scores 3 times we will win it all. if we pass the ball around without someone daring to shoot it we are out early.
There won't be no change either way. Don't you get it? Mexico hasn't gone to el quinto partido for over 20 years and no change has happend? If you really want to make a difference you gotta boycott the world cup, boycott any championship with mexico in it, boycott the liga mx. Don't buy there shirts don't go to their games. But no one wants to do that.
For the German team, I'd also like to mention our striker issue. Ever since the retirement of Miroslav Klose, we've had issues with a striker up front. This season however, Niklas Füllkrug of Werder Bremen, has become insanely good. He's scored 10 and assisted 3 in the Bundesliga, earning his first ever call up for the national team for this world cup. If he gets his chances, I think he could easily get five goals, in my opinion. So yeah, I think he is one of the talking points for the world cup and german team.
Because of match up reasons though Germany will have a much easier time against Japan than against Spain. Germany will outmuscle Japan. Spain could pick Germany apart with their style of play.
Qatar managed to make a National team made of mercenaries. At least England,France,Belgium,Netherlands and Germany have people actually born there, not taken from a country that isnt even a colony. With the way things go, every National will look like PSG,RB Salsburg or Man City.
@@huykim4663 Here's my problem. A player can be of African (for example) heritage,but if his family have lived in Germany for 3 ,4,5 generations, that kid will grow up to spit blood for the flag.

@@nickpaschentis5284 Sir, there’s a reason I mentioned Moukoko specifically. He wasn’t born in Germany, to any German parents. The family moved after he was born.
It's so weird for me as a Brasilian to pay attention to a american talking about Football. But Maqwell is so damn entertaining and knowledgeable that I cant help but love the fact that we have an 1 hour video right now
I'm half Japanese and half Brazilian! 🇧🇷🇯🇵 I'm so happy for Japan against Germany. It was a big surprise (2x1) But Brazil is the biggest in world cup, I think we will win. I hope so!! Haha
Quick note: The World Cup winner curse doesn't work if you are Brazil, we made out of the groups in '98 and '06 after winning '94 and '02 (but still got shitstomped by France smh)
No, Brazil had crashed out in group stage back in 1966 after two consecutive World Cup wins. But the disappointing result was a controversial since Pele got injured during the game against Portugal. This is same curse as Ronaldo before the 1998 Final.
Thank you for making these videos Maqwell 🙏 It’s helped my American friends be able to easier understand the context and identities behind these teams, and is helping them get into football. Appreciate you!
As a Polish person, i want to add up some things: - Krychowiak (which you've spelled like "Krakowiak" btw, good try tho) is NOT going to bring anything good, at the national team he's slower than Per Mertesacker and he's genuinely less proficient on the pitch than Michael Bradley at the wc 2018 qualis and i wish i was exaggerating, he's appalling - Świderski has never played a single bad game at the NT, practically a perfect joker, unfortunately the coach is most likely going to prefer Arkadiusz "I miss more than Morata" Milik - Other important players to mention are: - Nicola Zalewski (a relatively regular starter for Roma at the LWB) - Sebastian Szymański (great season in Feyenoord, he's basically Zieliński but more technical) - Jakub Kiwior (outstanding in Spezia, and now all clubs in Serie A + many others from top5 leagues want him) - Przemysław Frankowski (Starting 11 in Ligue 1's Lens, + usually performs well at the NT) - The coach is largely disliked in Poland by many, mainly due to his massive corruption allegations (none of which were proven nor disproven), morover, he had a list of players, that always get called up, no matter their form, like: - Jędrzejczyk (literally unspellable for foreigners, probably has more red cards than goals), - Grosicki (He used to be great in 2016, therefore he'll also be good in 2022 obviously) - The tactics presented by coach Michniewicz are as primitive as one can imagine, and it will be horrifying to watch for anybody, for ex. whenever a CB will have no idea what do, he will attempt a long ball to Lewandowski, which usually ends in a throw-in for the opposite team, or in the GK's hands Overall, great video, you made decent overlook of our national team for people who didn't know much about it, and also, we are guaranteed to bottle 0:3 against Mexico (Andres Guardado's hat-trick) If anyone has any questions about the Polish NT, and the shenanigans surrounding it, i'll be more than happy to answer it. P.S. "sori for mi inglish ;("

But Brazil is the biggest in world cup, I think we will win. I hope so!! Haha
Great work on this video, it would have been greatly helpful had i discovered this chnl before the start of this WC! Keep it up! its worthy content
Personally, I wanna see Ghana shithouse their way to the knockouts. It'll be glorious.
Finally the ultimate Peview has arrived😀
Preview*
@@Yeah.316 Happy?
@@theguy6844 yep
Comment for the algorithm, love your content. Another well made video i enjoyed watching!
i believe in hour long video supremacy
24:39 Tunisia actually made it to the final of the Arab Cup losing to Algeria only in ET.
Quick note: The World Cup winner curse doesn't work if you are Brazil, we made out of the groups in '98 and '06 after winning '94 and '02 (but still got shitstomped by France smh)
its not brazil anyways. its for france this time
@@sahilagarwal6601 yeah, I think they have a legit shot at beating the curse tbh
@@franciscotavares4142 personally I hope not
@@franciscotavares4142 i wish they dont
No, Brazil had crashed out in group stage back in 1966 after two consecutive World Cup wins. But the disappointing result was a controversial since Pele got injured during the game against Portugal. This is same curse as Ronaldo before the 1998 Final.
appreciate the grind of lately. sky is is the limit, Maqwell. keep it up
Thank you for making these videos Maqwell 🙏 It’s helped my American friends be able to easier understand the context and identities behind these teams, and is helping them get into football. Appreciate you!
Great vid for my WC fantasy squad
HE PERDICTED A AFRICAN TEAM WILL REACH THE SEMIS BRO HE IS LIVING IN THE FUTURE
I appreciate you covering what’s happening in Iran bro❤️
Thank you for bringing up situation in Iran
9:42 he said it! he said my name
Vamo' arriba Uruguay! Looking forward for the Uruguay - Ghana clash, that'll be interesting!
Excellent video as usual maqwell I just wish you spoke about Partey in the Ghana squad
nice work
Absolute class with the Iranian protest segment.
Bro you're such a good writer. Great job
One hour of Maqwell LETS GOOOOOO
Nice one mate

Group E is truly one of the groups of all time
I can't wait to watch this later
0:00 He said ☎️
It is a good day when Maxwell uploads
I'll still support Mexico, even though they'll crash out, I'll still celebrate at any goal scored.
i love that maqwell uses the music from the poker minigame in the nintendo DS super mario bros
bro forgot about sosa in croatia whose gotten team of the season last season and is still on form
Imagine having your midfield led by legendary mid-winger, 6ix9ine.
Here we go
As a Polish person, i want to add up some things:
- Krychowiak (which you've spelled like "Krakowiak" btw, good try tho) is NOT going to bring anything good, at the national team he's slower than Per Mertesacker and he's genuinely less proficient on the pitch than Michael Bradley at the wc 2018 qualis
and i wish i was exaggerating, he's appalling
- Świderski has never played a single bad game at the NT, practically a perfect joker, unfortunately the coach is most likely going to prefer Arkadiusz "I miss more than Morata" Milik
- Other important players to mention are:
- Nicola Zalewski (a relatively regular starter for Roma at the LWB)
- Sebastian Szymański (great season in Feyenoord, he's basically Zieliński but more technical)
- Jakub Kiwior (outstanding in Spezia, and now all clubs in Serie A + many others from top5 leagues want him)
- Przemysław Frankowski (Starting 11 in Ligue 1's Lens, + usually performs well at the NT)
- The coach is largely disliked in Poland by many, mainly due to his massive corruption allegations (none of which were proven nor disproven), morover, he had a list of players, that always get called up, no matter their form, like:
- Jędrzejczyk (literally unspellable for foreigners, probably has more red cards than goals),
- Grosicki (He used to be great in 2016, therefore he'll also be good in 2022 obviously)
- The tactics presented by coach Michniewicz are as primitive as one can imagine, and it will be horrifying to watch for anybody, for ex. whenever a CB will have no idea what do, he will attempt a long ball to Lewandowski, which usually ends in a throw-in for the opposite team, or in the GK's hands
Overall, great video, you made decent overlook of our national team for people who didn't know much about it, and also, we are guaranteed to bottle 0:3 against Mexico (Andres Guardado's hat-trick)
If anyone has any questions about the Polish NT, and the shenanigans surrounding it, i'll be more than happy to answer it.
P.S. "sori for mi inglish ;("
Bro this Guy’s Ball knowledge is Crazy, how can someone know this much about football and thoroughly understand it like he does
Massive Japan fan.. the group they are in is hella tough but anything can happen in football in it??
Portugal also won nationsleague 2019
Woman life freedom ✌💔
Can't wait for USA to beat England in the group stage.Only to be knocked out from the Tournament by Iran and Wales because of Greg Burhalters masterclass
I wanna see Luka Modric go far again. He's such an elegant mildfielder
One of the best midfielders ever
Modric*
@@sports12t happy now? satisfied?have I pleased your needs sir?
@@RespecTheLevYT lol yes haha
That segment on what is happening in Iran is so appreciated and shows that maqwell has such a good heart
Keep fighting women of Iran. We hear you. We see you

5:08 he probably doesn't know how well this aged
Never expected that Mister 1-0 reference with Davy Klaassen, very impressed!
Mane js out of the word cup now
Roberto Martinez said it best, Canada’s greatest advantage is that they play more like a club than a national team. Can’t see them getting out of the group but they will be more competitive than people think. ALLEZ LES ROUGES!!! 🇨🇦
Good video, but we (Netherlands) do not rate Klaassen that much and Gravenberch isn't called up.
Good prediction but I really doubt Italy is gonna win this one
Một video chắc chắn sẽ tốn cực nhiều thời gian để tìm hiểu cũng như lên script, keep it up sirrr
15:34 aged like wine of the finest order
Imagine the french get grouped
