The 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 22nd FIFA World Cup, will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022, at the The first unrestricted major sporting event. It is also the first World Cup to be held in the northern hemisphere winter from November to December.
This World Cup is the second World Cup held in Asia since the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. On July 7, 2010, FIFA selected the host country for the current and 2018 competitions. The countries that bid for the right to host the 2022 competition include the United States, South Korea, Japan, Australia and Qatar. In the end, Qatar succeeded in its bid, becoming the third Asian country to host the World Cup after Japan and South Korea, and the first Islamic country to host it. At the same time, Qatar is also the first host country after World War II that has never made it to the World Cup finals week, and is also the only team in this World Cup to make it to the World Cup finals for the first time.
Group groupings have been decided!
Group A : Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, NetherlandsGroup B : England, Iran, USA, WalesGroup C : Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, PolandGroup D : France, Australia, Denmark, TunisiaGroup E : Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, JapanGroup F : Belgium, Canada, Morocco, CroatiaGroup G : Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, CameroonGroup H : Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea.
Strong teams are still strong, who is the dark horse?
Let’s take a closer look at some of the details of each group:
Group A
As the host, Qatar obviously has the advantage of the right time and place. It can be seen from some reports that Qatar has invested energy and financial resources in football in recent years, making people feel that they are here! In addition to the superior strength of the Netherlands in this group, the other three teams have more or less chances of qualifying. But the editor will stand on Qatar’s side, except because it is the host, and Qatar’s strength can also compete with the other two teams, and Qatar is an Asian team!
Group B
England are the favourites in every major game, but they haven’t gotten very far in the last few games! Miss Beckham England, but even Beckham England didn’t get any major honours! Therefore, I am not optimistic that England can go too far in this World Cup and can reach the last 16 at most! Iran has participated in 5 World Cups and has not yet reached the top 16. This time, it cannot escape the curse of the past! It is a frequent visitor to the World Cup and can often reach the top 16, so the second place in this group of qualifying matches should be Wales.
Group C
In Group C, Argentina is of course thriving, Mexico’s strength is also above Poland and Saudi Arabia, but the strength of Poland and Lewandowski should not be underestimated. Saudi Arabia really is the belly team of this group!
Group D
France has a high probability of qualifying, and the other team is more optimistic about Denmark! Like Tunisia or Australia, the strength is weak, just enter the World Cup!
Group E
Group E is responsible for the death group of this World Cup. Spain and Germany will fight to the end, and this will also be the most intense game in the group stage. Japan can only see the situation, can they find an opportunity in the battle between the two powers and prove it again for the Asian team? As for the other team, just stand in the distance!
Group F
The status of this group is still relatively clear. From the perspective of strength, Belgium and Croatia will have a high probability of qualifying hand in hand. But football is round after all, so anything is possible! Whether Canada, which has entered the World Cup after 36 years, can play this year’s dark horse, we will wait and see!
Group G
The Brazilian team has no sense of pressure in this group, but whether the Brazilian army can reach the end is a test for them. The other three teams have the possibility of qualifying. However, the editor prefers Cameroon because of its strength, and it often plays very exciting games! This is probably the characteristic of African teams. Of course, this characteristic is also a double-edged sword, you know!
Group H
Many fans will think that South Korea is the easiest Asian team to qualify for in this group. In fact, this is not the case. Powerful teams like Portugal and Uruguay, with their stars, strength, toughness, and low profile, are difficult to deal with and upset. The Korean team is also the kind of team known for hard work and willpower, so it is difficult for the Korean team to play unconventional games, so it is difficult to qualify! On the other hand, Ghana, if they show the creativity of African teams, it is not impossible for them to advance!
