The 2022 World Cup draw ceremony will be staged at 00:00 Beijing time on April 2, with Germany and the Netherlands becoming the second team, and Senegal led by Mane becoming the third team, the Group of Death is likely to appear in this World Cup.
Death makes up the World Cup tradition
In the history of the World Cup, there is no shortage of dead groups. In the 1958 World Cup, Austria, the Soviet Union, England and Brazil were all in Group D, and in the end Pele's miraculous performance helped Brazil win the championship. In the 1962 World Cup, Brazil once again entered the death group, opponents including Czechoslovakia, Spain and Mexico, and finally Brazil and Czechoslovakia met in the final, and the Samba Army won the championship again.
In the 1966 World Cup, Argentina, Germany and Spain were divided into the same group, and the European Championship champion Spain stopped in the group stage. At the 1970 World Cup, Brazil, considered the strongest team in history, defending champions England, European Cup champions Czechoslovakia and Romania were all in the same group.
At the 1978 World Cup, hosts Argentina were in the death squad, with opponents from Europe, including Hungary, Italy and France. However, Argentina eventually won the World Cup for the first time after breaking through the siege. At the 1986 World Cup, Uruguay was also in the same group as three European teams, including West Germany, Denmark and Scotland.
In 1998, Spain became the unluckiest seeded team, sharing Group D with Bulgaria, Paraguay and Nigeria, and Spain was eliminated. Four years later, Argentina repeated the same mistake, with Sweden, England and Nigeria in the same group, and the Blue and White Army only scored 4 points to get out early.
Such a death group also includes Group F (England, Netherlands, Ireland, Egypt) of the 1990 World Cup, Group B of the 1994 World Cup (Brazil, Sweden, Russia, Cameroon), and in 2010 there were three groups of deaths, namely Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States), Group C (Uruguay, Italy, Costa Rica, England), and Group B (Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia).
Germany, the Netherlands or the Group of Making Death
The Qatar World Cup is likely to have a death group, because Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia and other powerful European teams have become the second team, the third team has the African Cup of Nations champion Senegal, the fourth team also has a strong team like Ecuador and Canada, and Wales led by Bale may also advance through the play-offs and become the fourth team.
According to the rules, South American teams such as Brazil and Argentina may be in the same group as two European teams. Once France, Germany, Senegal, Ecuador, Brazil (Argentina), Germany, Senegal, Wales or France, Uruguay, Poland, Ghana are in the same group, the group stage will be extremely intense.
Senegal spoils the situation
Senegal, the African Cup of Nations champions led by Mane, are perhaps the most likely to make it into the group of deaths, and Senegal became the biggest spoiler in the group stage as the most powerful team in the third pot.
According to the rules, Brazil, Germany, Senegal and Canada are expected to be placed in the same group, which means that the two champions teams of Brazil and Germany will encounter the two strongest teams in the third and fourth gears.
England, Germany, Senegal and Canada are also likely to be placed in the same group, which will be a next signing for the Three Lions, who aspire to win the World Cup.
Ronaldo, Messi or in the death group
In the World Cup, Germany has always been the nemesis of Argentina and Portugal, and Germany has become the second team, making it possible for C Ronaldo and Messi to enter the death group.
According to the rules, Portugal, Germany, Senegal, Canada (Ecuador) may be placed in the same group, once this happens, Ronaldo's road to promotion will be very difficult.
Argentina, Germany, Poland and Ghana are also expected to be placed in the same group, which may be bad news for Messi. Germany has always been one of Argentina's nemesis, and Levan's Poland and Ayo's Ghana are also quite powerful.
