Are Spain one of the favourites? Also, we will have plenty more World Cup content over the next 6 weeks so make sure you're subscribed and have notifications on so you don't miss an upload. We will be uploading a lot and at random times!
Tifo Football just wanted to let you know as a football fan, and passionate student of the the game, this is hands-down the best football channel on CZcams! Also Im hoping Spain, (while being more direct) can recapture the invention, and creativity in possession and chance creation that made them so beautiful to watch back in 2010!
Third favourites
Spain are favourites together wit Germany for me because they have huge individual quality but also play as a real team and have lots of experience winning on this level. You could argue Brazil too, but I think they are a level below those two.
Tito Football you are doing an amazing job. Thank you so much for this videos. As portuguese I know morre about our own squad! Please keep up the excelent work.
To be fair I think England will win the world cup
Group B is the strongest in my opinion. Both Morocco and Iran are capable of making potential surprise.
Germany, Sweden, Mexico?
Egypt, Uruguay, Russia?
Colombia, Poland, Senegal?
Maybe the most competitive, but certainly not the strongest.
Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria, Iceland all would advance if drawn in group B
2 losers of semifinalis will emerge from this group.
Rollerbear really? Are you sayin group A is tough? Egypt arent THAT good and they are the second best team in that group. Russia are pretty crap. Saudi Arabia i dont know that much about but based on there fifa rankings id say not that good. Uruguay are probably only top 15-20 team in the world at best.
Daniel Anthony Egypt and Russia aren't that good in general, but compared against Morocco and Iran? Absolutely not. Egypt basically has a Championship roster except they have Salah, which can certainly make the difference. Russia is playing home, but they have the talents necessary, I can tell you. Saudi Arabia is shit, I don't need to discuss this. Uruguay has Cavani, Suarez, Godin, Giminez with some players from La Liga.
Maybe they're 15-20, but Morocco and Iran are 50 or below.
Morocco has Benatia and Hakimi, but that's it. Their defense is great, but their attack is horrible. If they played in Serie A or Ligue 1, they would be relegated first season. Iran has one good player in Jakha-something (there's no way I can spell his name) who plays in Holland, but other than that, they are not even average.
Don't bother doing England, mate. We've got no tactics.
Jake Boyle sothgate rocking 3-4-3
Walker as CB
Mate, I think we’ll be fine unless the opposing team forces us into penalties. Then, we have no hope.
but you do have pope
How negative
i like how u do your homework and make a lot of efforts to bring us very packed and rich information about each group and each team, and i really enjoy it and for me its educational
what a tough group, there might be a surprise like in the 2014 wc when costa rica and uruguay qualified over italy and england
England just then wasn't as strong as it is today. Big thanks to Pep, Klopp, and Mou, but mostly Pochettino.
TheNizoubizou I wouldn't say it was a surprise by Italy they have struggled to score goals for years now. Even with the best ST in the world
Uruguay were favourites to win that group
It would be hard to imagine Spain being knocked out at the group stage, but for Portugal that's definitely possible.
Theophagous Well you probably said the same and 2014...
This man is exposing every teams tactic
_Some of these so called tactical analysis from them are just made up and total bullshit..._
Huzaifah Barcelona you still watch them though..
The coaches nightmare- tifo channel
For morocco the tactics are a lot more complicated than what Tifo said ^^"
_Yes, I just watch some and find out so many bullshit made up tactical ANALysis..._
Everyone is saying that Brazil and France are the favourites, which I agree but Spain is really good side good under Julian and is one if my favourites to win as well.
I actually think england can make it . They have a good squad this time
Cant forget germany
Toughest group in the world cup.
Group B is full of young talent.
People are still overlooking Portugal after winning the euros. I hope that they win the world cup or at least get to the quarter finals
Well Done for the videos. Short and straight to the point with very clear English. Looking forward to preview all groups asap and may be you could group all the previews of all groups in one video. Thanks.
Feel like morocco may get through the group
Matt Moore are ya sure?😂😂😂😂🇵🇹
Randomness 11 I made a slight miscalculation
yeah ... probably in fifa
More of these we love it!!
I think Portugal is going to win it all. Very underrated team and very unpredictable and creative players.
agree people underate portugal so hard lol its sad but thats what also happend in euro 2016 and guess who laughed last xD
Exactly.. Its all about confidence. I feel this team has shown a lot of confidence. Hope Ronaldo play
s at his best form unlike his previous world cups. If the defence is tight along with no injuries we might see a big upset.
Its not about underrating Portugal , i'm Moroccan but i always watched Portugal Games and cheered for them as i like some Players there like CR7 , Pepe , Coentrao , Nani , Quaresma , but Portugal have always disappointed the fans at Big Tournement even the last Euro, yes they won the Cup , but do people forget that they played with fire 3rd in group they nearly disquilified if the format didn't have 24 team . Portugal have a strong and Talented Squad , but rely on CR too much on finishing the attacks and he Flop during some games In WC , he is my favourite player but i needed to be honest here , they why i have a bit of hope for my national team , we do have a Young and Nice squad but we lack a storng Stricker completely, so it more like if Portugal didnt play as expected then we may have a chance not the opposite . The performance of Portugal is main variant in this group.
youb gragui to add on this Portugal only won 1 game in 90 mins in the euro. Undoubtedly the 2nd favorite in the group. However, they tend to slip up and that is what I am expecting. Tbh I think for Iran morroco would be a bigger challenge to get a win from than Portugal. This is just my opinion.
another great video! as Iranian, im still hopeful we can go past group stage, but going to be very tough. that 1st Match vs morraco is 1 we must win
as a Moroccan, I think the same as you, very tough group, probably not gonna make it but if we win the first game against you guys we ll be hoping for more. you guys have a very tough team tho... good luck
khodafis
Hamada Benomar I think both our teams got screwed with the 3rd/4th teams in our group. Hopefully we both somehow make it 😁
If not just iran would be fine tho 😉
amirreza moghtader Not a chance mate xD Morocco will breakout easily after we get thos 3 points bt we'll see xD ... Happy ramadan ❤ May the best win
Hakim Ziyech will be one of the players to watch here. The man can create and score. Absolute beast.
Oliver Derwin as well as Jahanbakhsh, he scored 22 goals and made 12 assists this year
That's why he finished below Jahanbakhsh while playing for a better team (Ajax) ... #PoorLogic
lol ziyech won best player of holland this season.
Lol, he did nothing against Iran. Mediocre player
it's gonna be tough but morocco can make some noise
Carlos Minez hahaha yeah 1-0 for iran
@@cghggggvhb3985 yeah, we practically scored against ourselves. You didn't do anything.
With Morocco that conceded 0 goals in 6 matches and Iran who conceded 0 goals in 9 matches this group will be very hard for Spain, and based on my prediction ...too hard for Portugal to advance.
don't think Spain would've conceded any both in Asia and Africa.
I do but I do not think same for Portugal.
And are you telling me that Iran and Morocco are better than Portugal? You mad? They didn’t concede and so what? Who did Iran face? Morocco indeed faced tough opposition still I think Portugal will progress
My prediction = Ronaldo doesn't see the ball in 3 games = Portugal eliminated on 2 game of the group
Portugal aren't much either you know
Tifo should have 2.5 M and not 250 K subs
Gaurav Singh agreed
Gaurav Singh
Even more
This channel is ridiculously good. Can remember when you guys were on 10k subs, quickly heading towards a million with how good this content is
This is cocaine without the side effects 😬💙
Talk about the group F ( USA , Chile , Netherlands , italy) please
Group L
Italy yeah , italy
I forget they existed😂
Tincho Aguero We all did
Now that is a group of death right there
Morroco can make a surprise
Watch out for that young boy amine harit. He is an absolute baller
Just got the notification and clicked so fast. Been waiting for this group for a long time, since you announced it so like since yesterday lol. Didn’t watch it yet but I bet it’s great.
Great👍 cant wait for the next group
I just realized that 3 of the 4 teams in this group are basically neighbors
yes 3 derbies , Morocco will play like italy in this world cup remembre this cmnt
Also Persia (Iran) once owned all those lands...
true, and the even iran has has portugues coach
sycop History bud 😁👍
sycop yeah, probably the guy doesnt even know is own history. Umayyad Caliphate, who own part of portugal, spain and marocco, had its base in damascus (syria) not in Persia.
wow that's impressive Spain
..."without Defeat"
WHAT!?
It's not quite accurate. While they have qualified for every WC since 1996 without defeat, their record in Euro Championship qualifiers is not perfect. Still very impressive, though.
great review on Iran!
Portugal is a fearsome tournament team. I am not saying that because they won the euro, they have been really hard to beat for over 10 years now.
portugal is a small country but with a lot of connection to football, we have cristiano ronaldo who is the best ever, the best in the world, portugal has 7 gold balls preparing to overtake germany that also has 7, we are european champions in title, 4th place ranking FIFA had eusebio, Figo, Couto, Simao, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Fernando Gomes, Paulo Futre, Rui costa, Vitor Baia and more
VIVA PORTUGAL CARALHO !!!
diogo Loureiro vamos ganhar esta mrd crlh
ninguém nos mete medo vamos contra tudo e contra todos , so precisamos de mostrar a nossa fibra e raça caralho
good luck from Morocco
Can we start calling Spain vs Morocco the Reconquista Derby
Group B is the Battle of Three Kings! :D
(It's a battle between Morocco, Portugal and Spain that took place in the 16th century)
History repeats itself !
morocco won that battle lol
Bartsimho Gaming when you think all of Moroccan army was in Granada plus they had to join forces to kick them out lol😂😂😂
Amrabat, Ziyech, Munir, Bouhaddoz, Boutayib... Berber Power conquering Andalusia all over again 😉
Morocco fans are a little bit arrogant, they think they can win easily without any trouble!. Please be more humble and respect the opponents. Too much overconfidence is not good! I'm just saying...
Kevin Stevenson hey we are just supporting our team ! Its our right , support ur team and mind your business, whats we say about our team doesn’t concern you, and yeah we can do it , and if we failed and its a possibility too its fine for us !
they are but the most arrogant clearly you didn't see egypt fans they think they can win the whole tournament with only mohamed salah
Indeed. With all respect but it's annoying even disgusting. You have an excellent team, very talented but Spain, Portugal and Iran have also excellent teams, so slow down...all the best for Morocco!
Really? I have not found them yet ehehheheh, just Moroccan and Brazilian! I don't like those arrogant comments, I think we should respect the opponents. The 32 teams are all good, some are top teams and probably have more chances to win, but football is unpredictable.
well i'm a moroccan
i think spain and portugal are the favourites on paper
but no one knows
every world cup has surprises
Al Andalus derby. Spain, Portugal and Morocco wow. I wonder what will happen if El Cid and Yusuf Ibn Tashfin still alive to see the football rivalry lol
Naibketuakj Naibketua if they were involved we would actually stand a chance against spain and portugal loool
Actually El Cid fought even more alongside the muslim than against them. They were strange times.
you forgot someone from Morocco his name is achraf hakimi plays at real madrid and he is very talented he plays right back and he is 19 years old and he has played quite a lot of matches for real madrid in la liga and in the champions league
Northern Ireland beat Spain in qualification for the 2008 European championships.
Hey, these are great. Subscribed. Love the animation style, the clear break down and well researched info.
I guess achraf hakimi will be crucial for Morocco too
Yeah there is a huge chance for that ^^ he is a remarquable young player, with bolt speed !!
People sleep on Morocco.
Antione Ockersz thank you !! I hope we prove them wrong .
aymane lakrami As an Ajax fan I'm backing Morocco all the way!!
Excursion Porter the ziyech effect 😍😍
You are right people slept through the Morocco Vs IR Iran game.😀
Andre P. Fair play *slow clap*
Morocco is the Liverpool of national teams. Every next year is our year but we get battered every time. I'm not falling for it anymore. We will not make it through this groupe (I hope we do pass though)
The teams from the Iberian peninsula will advance from the toughest group in Russia.
Srijal Yadav correctly said. Iberian derby will be decisive.🇵🇹🇪🇸🇲🇦🇮🇷
IMO spain should go with this line up.
Isco aspas d.silva
Iniesta busquets thiago
Alba ramos pique Carvajal
degea
Thank you tifo, very cool!
Morocco will be a surprise package. Portugal could be the shock exit.
haha 1-0 to iran
hahahaha 1-0 to Portugal
Portugal actually have a really good squad
Hi Tifo. Portuguese here, after the first game. Your analysis is very good. And thanks for the subtitles, great help. Congrats for the great work!!!!
Another fine video. Why did I only discover Tifo Football last weekend?
you gotta get out less
Hakeem O'Neal HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA
this group is too tough but anything can happen.
am from morroco .. very good analysis for our team . Feels nice to know that someone out there knows a lot about our team , specially our key players mentionned in the video .
Spain will get through easily. Portugal will struggle hard to get second place because key players are in very bad shape (William, Adrien, Guerrreiro, A. Silva, J. Moutinho and the central backs) and some new players who could add something to the Euro 2016 team were simply not chosen (Nelson Semedo, Cancelo, Rony Lopes, Ruben Neves). As portuguese i´m quite worried.
exactly, I don't understand Fernando Santos' picks. Adrien Silva, Joao Mario, and joao moutinho over rony lopes, and Ruben Neves???
It's true that in Euros the average level of the teams is superior. Just look at the respective FIFA ranking. The fact is that the WC pose a different challenge, having to play against less-known teams and that, unfortunately, somehow influences the mindset you were talking about...But I still think that the form of key players is much worse than it was in 2016. In 2016 you had, just to refer midfielders, WC, Adrien, João Mário, Renato Sanches, Danilo and João Moutinho in much better form (Danilo and RS are out).
Ruben Neves and Rony Lopes had excelent seasons, Nelson Semedo did a fantastic first half of the season, whilst Cancelo was considered the best right back of Serie A.
Antero Morais Taveira don't know man. I am a Spaniard and I think this group is the hardest in the world cup
Portugal is actually more than a one man team..but yeah no where as good as the top teams.
hahahhaha you don't know shit about Portugal. Go support your country. I imagine it's at home, not in the world cup. Fuck off.
estes monhés não entendem bola sobre bola!! ide pó caralho!!!
All love for morocco, especially binetyah 😍🖤
I've got a lot of faith in my country MOROCCO . We are more than capable of beating iran and getting a draw with portugal (tunisia did it ) but spain will be very difficult . No matter what i am very proud that we're finally back in the world cup because here everyone breathes football !!!!
Good job on your analysis on Morocco ,the best I've seen these days
I really want to see what Iran can do in this group, they nearly did so well at the last World Cup and they've got better attacking players this time round.
you guys are doing gods work
Portugal´s best centre backs are Pepe and Rúben Dias that is actually quite young (21) ;)
Pretty sure spain lost a qualifier match against slovakia a couple of years back.
Your voice is so calming. Its like therapy.
It's so well made! Good vid.
Although Portugal and Spain are favourites to qualify from group, I wouldn't totally rule out Morocco to spring up a suprise.
Iran - the last time they faced an African side was just four years ago. For those of you who watched, you can be forgiven for sleeping during their match against Nigeria as a dire 0-0 draw was played out.
Spain will be out to make amends following their disastrous 2014 campaign. Do you think they can top the group?
A96oaye hopefully morroco finish rock bottom. And Spain and Portugal/iran advance
I'm not feeling it for Portugal this year, tbh. On theory we have a damn good squad with lots of attacking talent, but on practice we play a very lackluster brand of football relying way too much on a very limited 33 year old Ronaldo. This team kinda reminds me of Belgium, an incredible team on paper but it just isn't that good on practice.
That and I can see a certain air cockiness among the portuguese supporters after winning the Euro 2016. Hopefully I am wrong and we have a good run, but I just don't see it happening.
Why do you want Morocco to finish bottom? They're a good team with some good players
the ziyech and belhenda and herve renard fan art pic was so amazing. well made for the guy who made :) and I hope home in my team Morocco, they would go so far during this world cup! :D
I am really loving your video bravo continue it
Morocco has a portuguese player and Iran a portuguese manager
half Moroccan
Half portuguese , he choses morocco ,which means he is moroccan
The tune playing behind the narrator is banging. The sort of track my mates used to play in between Aphex Twin and DJ Food when they were dealing with a major chemical comedown at 6 a.m. on a sunny summer Sunday morning.
Great video again! A bit sad that everyone uses our (Rubin Kazan's) old logo but I guess its our fault for changing them so often. And actually Amun started almost every match this year for Rubin.
Some of your mistakes:
1.H.Ziyech is a midfielder.
2.J.Fonte is very unlikely to start.
3.Portugal plays 4-3-3 with J.Mario as midfielder and B.Silva & CR7 as wingers.
4.Spain is likely to play with 5 midfielders(Busquets,Iniesta,Thiago/Koke,Isco & Silva) and a striker with full backs providing the width.
Kevin De Sky Bluene Zyiech did play wing last year. I remember him bossing Celta Virgo from the wing in the Europa league.
Kevin De Sky Bluene id rather go with difo's word than yours
Portugal play a 442 mate. Cheers from Portugal ;)
Miguel Mateus & Ian Black
Mario is a CM,Silva is a RW and Ronaldo,in Portugal,is still a LW so it's a 4-3-3,it becomes a 4-4-2 only during defensive phrase so that Silva can start counter attacks and Ronaldo can be ready to finish them.
No, I whatch every Portugal game and I read the press and Portugal and hear the press conferences. It's always a 4-4-2. Ronaldo and André Silva up top, João Mário on the left and Bernardo Silva/Quaresma no the right (the coach only likes to use 1 winger because he says 2 unbalance the team. Adrien/Moutinho and William play in the centre. We played like this in the Qualification for the Euro2016, WC2018, in the Euro2016 itself and in the Confederations Cup 2017.
Loving these vids, Tifo! Very useful to see which players are key to every squad. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind you showing all 23 player names on screen, so we have an overview of all players from that nation...
Love these contents !!! Keep it coming guys!
Your informative& brilliant report has a very indepth knowledge of team's tactical shape and individual's characteristics, a rare number of people who the names of iranian& marocco players with their tactical roles, fantastic research job my friend😄
As an Iranian, I really don't see us performing well, I think
1.spain
2. Portugal
3. Morocco
4. Iran
I hope I'm wrong though
Manuel Fernandes won't likely be the second option to João Mário in that left midfielder role, Gélson Martins from Sporting CP has come off the bench more often as a replacement winger, and is the yourger, more creative player. Great Video, still.
Great analysis! Respect to you and to your channel for doing your research on our team and being honest! You’re not like those other ignorant channels who write us off without doing their homework. Subscribed! ❤️
This channel's videos are more interesting than the games themselves 👏👏👏👏
Great video! I especially agree about de Gea. One criticism however, the pronunciation of the players names, but who can speak all the languages present at the world cup anyway?!! I will definitely keep watching your channel
Love it! Can't wait for the rest
Thanks for the video please do one for every group! It's so amazing!
We are!
Awesome! What do you think about Tunisia
Bet its gonna be another great video
Who has a better chance?
Iran or Morroco
I’d put my money on Iran any day, but with benatia, and others, I can see you guys saying Morocco, what are your thoughts.
Iran✌🏼
Great content and amazing animation as well as analysis
Watch out for Amine Harit. Im so glad that you mentioned him!!!
Portugal is not a one man team stopping talking like we are Slovakia or austria
yes portugal is in the same level of slovakia one thing make the defrent is ronaldo
The real difference is that Portugal are the current European Champions and in this century is one of only three european nationtal teams that hasn't yet missed a major tournament(alongside Spain and Germany). Has Slovakia made through a group stage without getting battered in the Round 1/16 ?
dude why the hate? All the portuguese players play in top clubs
Hugo Fernandes man u not ready
prank star what???
Tifo as said below this is the best football channel on CZcams, I love football myself and your knowledge of the beautiful game is absolutely amazing, also love the way you have put together your annalistic programme its quite suburb. For myself I would love to England win the world cup lol but that's not going to happen however much I would like it to. I am a big Ronaldo fan saw him make his debt for Manchester United and he is a magical player so I would like to Portugal win the world cup or at least get to the final. You can't write them off we saw what happened in Euro 2016 they are a team that digs in and battles hard and at 25/1 to win the world Cup its worth small bet plus they are 12/1 to get in the final!
outside Portugal I keep looking at Brazil and wouldn't be surprised to see a Brazil v Germany Final! Either way as a football fan I can't wait to see a magical tournament and again thank you so very much for taking the time and effort to put on a very entertaining and informative channel, I have subscribed and look forward to future videos.
I think it will be a Brazil vs Germany final too! - Danny
yes could well be and what a way for Brazil to revenge Germany in the Final and take the world cup back!
+Darryl Horridge I think the final will be Brazil vs Spain. I think Spain will beat Germany in semi final
If the name of the game is to predict the next underdog Quarterfinals-run, a la Costa Rica, my pick is Iran for this World Cup
Absolutely love these.
Hey do you actually watch matches of teams like Iran,Morocco etc for such in depth analysis?
We certainly do.
Yo guys check the portuguese commercials for the world cup
They are gold
Another fantastic video, you guys are the best❤️
wow marocoo have some chances in this group with that squad :D
Awesome content. Could you pls do a more specific video about portugal? for ex about their tactics, young talents, etc...
So excited for the World Cup!
Great stuff, as ever ...
Should Iniesta start?
Lol, why is that even a question he should and will most definitely start.
extremedude1234 Iniesta being older just means he wont play the full 90 minutes. He is still one their if not the best players.
I am expecting something like this
De Gea ; Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba ; Busquets, Koke/Thiago, Iniesta ; Silva, Aspas/Costa, Isco
Hot take: Morocco could be the dark horses of the WC.
Ramesh Prashanth allready 2 lost haha
Morroco will be the surprise of this group . They have a great coach .
Keep this up I love it
Spain to finish 1st, Portugal to finish 2nd. Iran will pip Morocco to 3rd.
Can't wait for the rest of the groups it's simply amazing
people seem to forget Portugal won the Euro 2016 FINAL practically without Ronaldo
Hey Tifo! I don’t know how much of Group F is done currently but I was wondering if you would like to have HQ videos that I can provide for free of friendly matches of South Korea before the World Cup. They just beat Honduras three days ago 2-0 and are playing Bosnia and Herzegovina June 1. Keep up the great content!
