FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022
We're now just under 3 weeks away from the next World Cup, peculiarly occurring in the always sunny & warm Qatar in winter!
We've got 32 teams split into 8 groups, some of which are looking particularly hard to escape for some teams, those groups are
A - Qatar - Ecuador - Netherlands - Senegal
B - USA - Iran - England - Wales
C - Saudi Arabia - Argentina - Poland - Mexico
D - France - Tunisia - Denmark - Australia
E - Spain - Japan - Germany - Costa Rica
F - Belgium - Canada - Croatia - Morocco
G - Brazil - Serbia - Cameroon - Switzerland
H - South Korea - Uruguay - Ghana - Portugal
As for my own country, I think England has managed to accidentally themselves a fairly easy group in B. Last years winners, France, seem to have also got a group they're near guaranteed to get out of. Meanwhile Argentina has a habit of removing Mexico from competition, occuring in 2006 & 2010, will they repeat that in 2022? They've certainly got the chance, both lumped into C. For me, I think Group E is going to be the interesting one, a single slip up by Spain or Germany could see them tumble out and Japan and/or Costa Rica take a spot, which would surely be the upset of the group stage if it occurred for either of the footballing giants. For Groups G & H, i've honestly no idea who will get through, although for G i'm sure Brazil will find their way through, and its a toss up for the rest, same for Portgual in H.
How are your favourite teams' prospects looking in this years tournament?

Re: FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022
nope.
I'm not doing this year. I'll probably tune in for the Semi Finals but I'm still quite disgusted by where this World Cup is hosted. They might as well have hosted it in Russia again, like 4 years ago.
As for the shock of the tournament, I'm giving you a Danish medal.
A: Netherlands - Ecuador
B: England - USA
C: Argentina - Poland
D: France - Denmark
E: Spain - Germany
F: Belgium - Croatia
G: Brazil - Switzerland
H: Uruguay - Portugal
R16-1: Netherlands - USA
R16-2: Argentina - Denmark
R16-3: Spain - Croatia
R16-4: Brazil - Portugal
R16-5: England - Ecuador
R16-6: France - Poland
R16-7: Belgium - Germany
R16-8: Uruguay - Switzerland
Q1: Netherlands - Denmark
Q2: Spain - Portugal
Q3: England - France
Q4: Belgium- Uruguay
S1: Denmark - Spain
S2: France - Belgium
Winner: France
I mean, realistically Argentina would beat Denmark in the quarter finals and Brazil would beat Portugal, but I am Eurocentric here.

Re: FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022
yes, whilst I'm not thrilled with the location myself of how they came to have it, not to mention ongoing issues there, I'll do my usual watching of England matches at the very least. can't see myself going nuts for the majority of matches though.

Re: FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022
Indeed, that is one I didn't expect. So far I have only watched the England match, and the rest I am just getting as news on either the TV or facebook, as I am trying to not give too many viewing figures for the world cup.
I'm very pleased that the BBC sidestepped the opening ceremony to instead launch a thinly veiled attack with criticism of Qatars handling of pretty much everything. That's a power move and a half.
