The 2018 World Cup can be considered one of the most interesting and spectacular World Cups in recent years. Today score football of tournaments, as well as statistics of already ended matches, can be found on a verified portal. It is available at any time of the day and offers an abundance of useful information.
At the group stage, there were only three teams that managed to achieve the maximum result — Belgium, Croatia, and Uruguay. The contenders for the title didn’t play so well, but France and Brazil are worth highlighting. The classic confrontation between them didn’t happen, as it was prevented by the Belgians. African teams played very poorly at the World Cup, none of them made it to the playoffs.
The experts consider the following national teams to be the best:
- France. The Blues have assembled one of the best lineups for the World Cup, combining experienced and talented footballers. However, the entire path to the championship was not as easy as it seemed at first glance. They managed to score only three times in the group, although their opponents weren’t very strong. In 1/8 the French defeated the Argentines 4:3, but then the game went more confidently. As a result, they got a well-deserved title for a great generation of footballers.
- Croatia. Even after a confident 3:0 victory over Argentina, many experts suggested that the Croats could surprise at the tournament. This is what really happened, but it was not possible for them to beat France in the final.
- Belgium. Why not England? The Belgians have passed much more serious rivals in the playoffs. England was beaten twice in the tournament, so there shouldn’t be any questions about who was better.
Brazil and Uruguay also played well. The former was very unlucky in the game with Belgium, because chances to score must be realized if you want to win.
Worst national teams at the 2018 World Cup
African teams performed very poorly at the 2018 World Cup, although they usually are able to compete with even the strongest teams. Today you can find out the scores of many different football tournaments on the verified statistical portal. Even the cups of the past years are presented in detail on this site.
But the players of Africa weren’t the worst, because the following teams played even worse:
- Panama — only 2 goals scored and 11 missed ones;
- Germany — while no one expected anything from Panama, the Bundesteam was considered one of the favourites of the World Cup, and as a result, it got a disastrous fourth place;
- Egypt had a good roster and not the most difficult group, but 0 in the “points” column and the score of 2:6 in goals-missed goals.
It is impossible to add to the game of Portugal and Spain to their assets. The grandees of European football made it to the playoffs, but no one understood why, because they immediately lost to weaker opponents.
