The powers that are still alive in Qatar 2022
Beyond the German absence in the direct elimination round, the rest of the serious candidates such as Brazil, ArgentinaFrance, England and Spainplus two “headaches” like Netherlands and Portugal, continue forward in the World Cup dream. Among them is United States, the only living Concacaf ambassador.
With the exception of A Clockwork Orange, all the powerful Europeans are on the same side of the table, so in a hypothetical Quarterfinal we might see clashes between France and England and Portugal with Spain.
Who would Mexico have played once morest in the Round of 16?
Mexico would have faced France in the Round of 16 in Qatar 2022 of having achieved the necessary score once morest Saudi Arabia, but Poland will be the rival of the current world monarchs, while El Tri watches this round from home for the first time since 1978.
The surprising Asian Confederation put three teams in the top 16 of the tournament, starting with the surprising Japan who ended up leading the group of Spaniards and Germans; South Korea eliminated Uruguay dramatically y Australia (who competes in Asia despite being geographically in Oceania) will have the opportunity to kick Lionel Messi out of his last World Cup.
