In the early morning of April 2nd, Beijing time, the groupings of the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals were announced. Spain competed once morest Germany, and Asian teams such as Japan and South Korea had worrisome results. It is very difficult to qualify for the group.
Since all participating teams have not yet been generated, it is necessary to determine the ownership of the remaining three main matches through the play-offs. The continental play-off 1 is Australia or the United Arab Emirates once morest Peru, the continental play-off 2 is New Zealand vs. Costa Rica, and the European play-off is Wales vs. Scotland or Ukraine. The specific groups are Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, the Netherlands; Group B: England, Iran, the United States, European play-offs; Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland; Group D: France, Intercontinental play-off 1, Denmark, Tunisia; Group E: Spain, Intercontinental Playoff 2, Germany, Japan; Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia; Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon; Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea.
Compared with previous World Cups, the Qatar World Cup schedule is very different, which is held in the northern hemisphere winter for the first time. The competition lasted for 28 days and was held from November 21, 2022 to December 18, 2022. The opening game kicked off at 18:00 on November 21, 2022, Beijing time. The European powerhouse Netherlands played once morest Senegal, and the final started on December 18. The 8 group competitions will be completed within 12 days, and the group stage will have 4 games a day, scheduled to kick off at 18:00, 21:00, 24:00 and 3:00 am Beijing time. The final round of the group stage and the knockout stage are scheduled to kick off at 23:00 and 3:00 Beijing time respectively, and the final is scheduled for December 18th at 23:00 Beijing time. For Chinese fans, watching time is not bad.
Judging from the grouping situation, Argentina, Brazil, France and England have all been drawn, and their opponents in the group are not strong. Spain, Germany and Japan are in the same group. This is also the closest group in this World Cup. However, compared to the “death group” of previous World Cups, the “death” atmosphere is actually not strong. In addition, the grouping of Asian teams is not ideal. Even if Qatar occupies the host advantage, it will not be easy to break out of the group of Ecuador, Senegal and the Netherlands.
