In the early morning of April 2, Beijing time, the group draw ceremony of the 2022 World Cup was held in Doha, Qatar. All the groupings of the World Cup's top 32 have also officially revealed the answer. For the five Asian teams that are determined to participate in the World Cup in Qatar, the signing luck is not too good.
As the host, Qatar is arguably the worst host in recent signings. As hosts and seeded teams, they were admitted to Group A by default. As a result, Qatar drew the Dutch men's football team led by African Cup champion Senegal and world number one centre-back Van Dijk. The host mainly wants to qualify in the group, which is quite difficult. Qatar's more pragmatic choice is to try to beat Ecuador, which is third in south America, in the opener, and strive to achieve a victory on the doorstep.
As the no. 1 strongest team in Asia, Iran is in the same group as the winners of England, the United States and Wales vs Scotland/Ukraine. In Asia, Iran is known for its tough style, but the three opponents in the same group are all physically strong European and American teams. Iran is difficult to beat England, and the only way to qualify is to compete with the winners of the United States or European play-offs for a second place in the group.
As for Saudi Arabia in Group C, the signing was even worse. Not only Messi's Argentina and Levan's Poland, but also Mexico, which has a lot of experience against Asian teams, and Mexico beat South Korea in the last World Cup. Saudi Arabia is a little careless and may be at the bottom again. Japan's signing is arguably the worst of the 5 teams in Asia, and the presence of title-winning favourites Spain and Germany makes it extremely difficult for Japan to qualify for the group.
In addition, South Korea, located in Group H, has to face Portugal led by C Ronaldo and Uruguay, which is not bad. In addition, the strength of the African powerhouse Ghana team should not be underestimated. The signing of the "Taiji Tiger" can only be said to be worse than the group with Germany, Mexico and Sweden four years ago. On the whole, in this World Cup, it is not difficult for the Asian 5 team to qualify from the group to the top 16.
