5 FIFA World Cup 2022 teams with the most offensive depth

The FIFA World Cup 2022 is less than 2 weeks away!

The top international teams in the world are getting ready to compete for the biggest reward in the wonderful sport, so it’s an exciting time to be a football fan.

Some of the teams appear to be quite strong in competing. There will be a lot of goals at the competition as well, but which side has the best group of attackers going into the FIFA World Cup in 2022?

Here are the five teams with the most offensive depth at the FIFA World Cup 2022:

5. Argentina

The current World Cup is probably Lionel Messi’s last. He has recently been in outstanding form for both club and country. Argentina’s team, led by Lionel Scaloni, boasts a wealth of strong offensive options as well as excellent depth.

Experienced and able to control play in the last third, Angel Di Maria will be essential. They will pick Lautaro Martinez as their primary striker. Julian Alvarez, who has excelled thus far this season for Manchester City, is a solid backup choice for them.

La Albiceleste will benefit greatly from Paulo Dybala’s expected timely return from injury, as he has been in excellent form this season. Joaquin Correa of Inter Milan and Angel Correa of Atletico Madrid are both excellent bench alternatives.

4. Portugal

Portugal has players of the highest caliber across the board, but their assault is especially strong. They will have the famous Cristiano Ronaldo at the front of the line. Santos can rely on players like Joao Felix and Rafael Leao to give their frontline some fresh vigor.

Andre Silva, Goncalo Ramos, Goncalo Guedes, and Francisco Trincao are great alternatives for backup. Players like Pedro Goncalves and Bernardo Silva are capable of playing in the frontline. Behind them, Bruno Fernandes will function as the attacking midfielder.

3. England

Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Jack Grealish, and Bukayo Saka will most likely represent England in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. One of the top attackers in the world is Kane. The other players are all dynamic, and Southgate can switch things up if necessary.

Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, is also anticipated to be called up and has been performing admirably lately. The fact that Jadon Sancho, Jarrod Bowen, and Tammy Abraham are unlikely to make the team says a lot about the depth of England’s attack.

2. France

In-form Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe, and Ousmane Dembele constitute one of the 2022 FIFA World Cup’s most lethal-looking attacking trios.

Another player who has recently done well for himself is Christopher Nkunku. Kingsley Coman, Olivier Giroud, and Antoine Griezmann are also anticipated to compete for a starting position.

Though it’s questionable if players like Coman, Anthony Martial, and Moussa Diaby will even make the team. However, Didier Deschamps is unlikely to miss them given how powerful his frontline already appears to be.

1. Brazil

Brazil’s attack depth is what makes the Selecao a terrifying prospect for any side. Their primary offensive weapon will be the effective Neymar.

This season, players like Pedro, Raphinha, Richarlison, Antony, Gabriel Martinelli, Vinicius Junior, and Gabriel Jesus have all displayed strong play. Heading into the FIFA World Cup 2022, Brazil unquestionably boasts the finest attacking group.

The T20 World Cup is currently ongoing. Here are the 5 contenders for Player of the Tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his AL-Nassr side lost the Riyadh Cup to AL Hilal on Saturday. It was a clinical performance from the Al-Hilal side as they won the match 2-0. It was a frustrating night for the Portugal legend as he was heckled by the fans in the crowd.

The cameras panned to Cristiano Ronaldo who was swarmed by his teammates. There were chants cheering on Lionel Messi from the stands. Already peeved after losing the game, Ronaldo lost his cool and threw his medal at the fans.

Watch the video here:

During the game, Ronaldo was seen showing disgraceful actions towards the AL-Hilal fans. A scarf which was thrown his way saw the Portugal superstar rub it in the most inappropriate area. The 39-year-old earned the ire of the fans after this incident came to light.

AL-Hilal down AL-Nassr to win Riyadh Cup 2024 –

The 2024 Riyadh Cup final saw some amazing football being played. Cristiano Ronaldo was all smiles as WWE Superstar The Undertaker came out to place the trophy. Once the action began it was an end-to-end encounter as both teams went hard at goal.

Serbian star Sergej-Milinkovic Savic opened the scoring in the 17th minute of the game. It was two-nil 13 minutes later as Salem Aldaswari scored an amazing goal. That was the end of the contest despite an hour left in the game to be played.

There was no way back for the Al Nassr side as they looked clueless in front of goal. Not many chances were created by Ronaldo and his team. Al Hilal’s defense held their own against a rampaging Al Nassr side in the last few minutes.

There was pandemonium in the stands as the final whistle was sounded and the Al Hilal fans celebrated. There was a chorus of Messi chants which visibly irked Ronaldo at the end of the game.

Ever since his move from Manchester United in late 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo has changed Saudi Football. The likes of Karim Benzema and N Golo Kante are currently playing in the Saudi Pro League. AL Hilal themselves signed noted Brazilian sensation Neymar who sic out injured. With the veteran star in the twilight of his career, this kind of behaviour is least expected from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nepal leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has been convicted of raping a 17-year-old in 2022. During the case, he kept playing for the team, notably during the Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup qualifier in June last year. After the case was filed, he was playing for eventual winners, Jamaica Tallawahs. The leg-spinner was released from the team and was taken into custody.

“I know I am facing a difficult time of conspiracy and wrongful allegation and the ramification of its effect is something unimaginable. I am sure there must be some mechanism of compensating to the accused who proven to be innocent in our legal system,” he wrote. “I will soon seek legal support against wrongful prosecution and allegation made against me and I am sure I will get the justice and will return to the cricket ground soon to make the name and fame of my beloved country and I pray for speedy trial.”

After landing home, the former Delhi Capitals player claimed that the allegations made against him were baseless.

“All these things affected me mentally on one hand and on the other hand, I had to go through illness, and due to mental stress and ill health I kept myself in isolation. I have been mentally and physically affected by the portrayal and I have reached a state of imbalance and I have been bringing myself back to a normal state under the advice of doctors. My health is gradually improving, and I am planning to return to Nepal as soon as possible to defend against the false complaint against me,” the leggie wrote on Facebook in September 2022.

Talking about the current status, the bench also slapped him with a fine of Rs 300,000 (USD 2255 approx) and ordered him to pay Rs 200,000 (USD 1500 approx) in compensation to the victim. Lamichhane’s lawyer, Saroj Ghimire, told AFP that he “will appeal the decision in a higher court.”

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir is believed to have a personal dislike for former India skipper Virat Kohli. Over the years, Gambhir has been critical of the 2008 U19 World Cup-winning captain on a lot of issues. Not to forget, Gambhir has been vocal about not the media should be worshipping individual players.

He replied:

“Lockie Ferguson.”

Gambhir then smilingly went on to add:

“Ye aap baar baar dikhana, mujhe sab kuch yaad rehta hai. Ladai meri sirf on the field hai (Please show this clip again and again, I remember everything. My fight is only on the field)”

I want Virat Kohli to bat with the same intent he is known for: Gautam Gambhir

In another conversation. Gambhir said that Kohli must bat the same way against South Africa in the two-match Test series the way he does. Notably, the latter won’t play the practice game as he has come back to India for personal reasons. However, the right-hander will be available for the series.

“It will be in Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s minds that Shreyas Iyer, who is on his first tour, will be batting after Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul, if he plays, will be playing as a wicketkeeper for the first time. However, I want Virat Kohli to bat with the same intent he is known for.”

India’s squad for Tests: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Prasidh Krishna, KS Bharat (wk)
