The competition to win the World Cup 2022 will start on November 20, when 32 teams will be fighting to enter the final that will be held on December 18.

Right now, without a doubt, the qualified teams continue to sharpen their skills in various issues in the final moments while those included in the respective teams keep themselves in order to ensure victory.

Find out which team can be the winner of the World Cup 2022 and for whom?

Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal and Netherlands

This is the group that will open the World Cup.

The national team of this country has entered the World Cup competition three times and this year 2022, will be its fourth time.

This step can be taken as an experienced team and they can be proud of their banner.

The coach of the team, Gustavo Alfaro, decided to sideline former players like Antonio Valencia, and Felipe Caicedo and open a new window for young people like Moises Caicedo and Piero Hincapie.

Speaking to Daniel Mlimuka, a sports analyst about the teams competing in the World Cup, he said:

“Ecuador is a team that can enter the field with star or non-star players.”

However, Ecuador was not guaranteed to participate in the World Cup after it was sued in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by the country of Chile that claimed that Ecuador’s player, Byron Castillo, was not eligible to play during the qualifying matches because he was not a citizen. of that country.

However, the court dismissed the claims, but said the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) violated Article 21 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code by using a document containing false information.

“Although the Ecuadorian player’s passport was genuine, some of the information provided in it was false,” the court added.

And as a result, Ecuador, has been reduced by three points in the qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup.

Qatar is the host of the World Cup and with the tournament being played, this has been an opportunity for them to show the progress of Qatari football.

There is also Senegal, an African team that is the champion of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), and that seems to give great hope to its fans to do well in this group.   

Daniel Mlimuka, a sports analyst, says “The Netherlands are the leaders of the group. They have an experienced coach and get the best results, they also have soccer stars and that gives them the opportunity to come out on top in this group.”

Group B: England, Iran, USA and Wales

Let’s start with England, which has been seen to benefit greatly from the investment of great power in youth football.

Young players such as Philip Walter Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all the offspring of the youth teams where England decided to put its strength from 2012.

That is why it has been doing well since the World Cup in 2016, the EURO 2020 tournament, which is due to the fruits of their performance for young people. 

“ Not only that England can be the leaders in this group because of their talent, but they can move forward and even reach the semi-finals or even the final,” says Daniel Mlimuka.

In addition, England have had a good history, in 1966 they won the World Cup.

And in that group, the team that can give it competition is Iran and Wales. Iran in the past has had a good game in the Arab countries and Wales and has included its stars such as Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.

The American coach, for his part, spat out former great players such as guard Tim Ream, Ricardo Pepi, and Jordan Morris and included Haji Wright and Josh Sargent.

The truth is that the United States has experienced a difficult time entering the World Cup and without any doubt the changes in its squad that have surprised many, is in the hope of doing well.

Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland

Argentina is the one that seems to have the greatest potential to come out on top in this group but unfortunately the quality expected from them has not materialized.    

Mr. Mlimuka says, “there are questions that they raise, for example, are they better without star Lionel Messi. If they enter the field without Messi, will the players who speak for him be able to use the opportunity to show their abilities. Either not having Messi on the field will affect them in one way or another.”

If you look at Poland, in the recent championships, they have shown that they can compete in the group they are in.

His players have had a good game such as the star Robert Lewandowski who joined Barcelona last season after eight years of serving Bayern Munich.

Mexico, however, has seen its game decline as the World Cup approaches.

But our analyst Mr. Mlimuka seems to have different ideas.

“It is a group that is trapped. You can’t directly say that a certain team will be the winner. You will remember that in the World Cup in Russia, no one expected that Argentina would emerge victorious.”

Group D: France, Australia, Denmark and Tunisia

For this group the winner could be France. This is because it has international players in every region and with many options.

However, Mlimuka says they may face challenges.  

“The absence of Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kanté, players who were important for France to win the last World Cup, could be a blow for them.”

Kante was covering many of France’s shortcomings that appeared time and time again.

But it can also face it in the type of group they are in now, but this situation will continue to be a difficult task as the stage moves forward, when they will meet Brazil, England and Germany.

On the other hand, Denmark can give them a tough competition as they have many football players who are in different European Leagues compared to Tunisia and Australia who do not have experienced players.

Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany and Japan

This group is very competitive and here are two who have the potential to take the World Cup. Spain and Germany who have both returned to revive their football.  

“There was a time when Spain was really popular before starting to be humiliated in the world championship, but in recent days their coach Luis Enrique Martínez García seems to be doing everything he can to restore the status of the nation’s football,” says analyst Daniel Mlimuka.

Their coach has the ability to connect talents to the national team and get good results.

Germany has also managed to restore their status.

Japan has also tried to invest heavily and compete with big soccer teams in the World Cup.

However, today’s Japan is not the same 2010 players as Keisuke Honda was eight years ago.

Group F: Morocco, Canada, Belgium and Croatia

This is not an easy group that you can quickly tell who can come out on top.

Croatia, many of their players are still at a quality that can help the team.

Coach Zlatko Dalic has selected several Premier League players, including Tottenham striker Ivan Perisic and Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

Croatia will be looking to improve in the tournament after finishing second at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Mlimuka says “In Morocco, I was giving African teams a chance to do well, maybe here they are more constrained compared to Senegal. But they are still good to go to the next stage.”

Canada is entering for the first time since 1986. This can give relief to Morocco, probably because of many players who do not have experience in the World Cup or major championships, but it also has a great ability to show others the dust because most of its players are of different countries. difference.

The main thing that stands out for the Canadian team is that they have been smart and gathered talent in recent days and it can surprise many by making a step forward, perhaps even reaching the semi-finals.  

Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon

Brazil is expected to be the leader of this group.

After many years now the national team of Brazil can be put on the same scale as others with great potential to win the World Cup.

Many players are at their best, for example Gabriel Jesus is at Arsenal, Neymar is a PSG striker, Antony is a Manchester United striker.

They have a lot of talented players and that makes it easy for them to play at a high level.

Group H: Ghana, Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea

Portugal will be participating for the eighth time in the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in the team and added more hope for the team to move forward, especially if you consider that it is not an easy group.

“Their coach Fernando Santos has been a good and capable teacher, but the method of gathering together talents so that they can shine more in football is a bit overwhelming,” says Daniel Mlimuka.

Ghana representing Africa also enters with a squad of many new players.

Veteran strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have been included in Uruguay’s 26-man squad for the tournament in Qatar.

South Korea has been entering the World Cup but has not had a satisfactory result so far.
