In the early morning of April 2, Beijing time, the 2022 Qatar World Cup draw ceremony officially ended, and the world cup groupings that have attracted much attention have all been released. Among them, Germany, Spain and Japan together form the death group of this competition, the United States, Iran and England form the Politburo, and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's national team is most likely to meet in the final.
The 32 strong groupings are as follows:
Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands
Group B: England, Iran, USA, Ukraine and Scotland winner vs Wales
Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland
Group D: France, UAE and Australia winners vs Peru, Denmark, Tunisia
Group E: Spain, Costa Rica vs New Zealand, Germany, Japan
Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia
Group G: Brazil, Cameroon, Serbia, Switzerland
Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, Republic of Korea
Interpretation 1: Messi and C Ronaldo meet
As long as Messi and Ronaldo do not retire for a day, the topic of these two players who have dominated world football for more than a decade will never end. By the end of the year, Messi will turn 35 and Cristiano Ronaldo will be nearly 38, both veterans are participating in the World Cup for the fifth time, but have never won the Hercules Cup, which is the only collective honor absent from the honor room of the two superstars. Judging from the state of the two, this tournament is also likely to be the player's personal last World Cup.
In the previous 4 competitions, Messi and Ronaldo have never met, on the one hand, it is the reason for the draw, on the other hand, the Portuguese national team has performed in the World Cup in the past ten years, and has not been able to break through the knockout rounds, so it has not been able to play against Argentina.
In this competition, Argentina was placed in Group C, with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland (Poland, which took advantage of the competition), while Portugal was assigned to Group H, with Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea. Overall, the strength of the opponents in both groups is relatively even, and Messi and C Ronaldo are expected to lead the team to the first qualifying group.
Since the two teams are divided into different halves, if both teams end up in the first place in the group, the chances of eventually meeting will be very small, because only in the final final, the two superstar teams will be able to master.
Interpretation 2: Group B winners England, Iran, the United States, Ukraine and Scotland vs Wales form the Poro
In this lottery, the biggest highlight is not the death group, but the life and death situation caused by national factors. In Group B, three teams have been identified, England, Iran and the United States, and fans who understand the situation in the world should know that these countries have complex playing relationships in other areas, even mortal enemies. The biggest star of this issue is Ukraine, which is used as a white mouse experiment, and is also expected to finally qualify for the sports-independent World Cup group stage.
However, whether it is Ukraine, Wales or Scotland that finally advances, it will become a different life and death situation. If Ukraine advances, then the United States and Iran are relative, and then mixing Ukraine and England is enough to have a sense of topic; even if Scotland or Wales advances, then the showdown between the two teams and England is also quite concerned.
Interpretation 3: The Veritable Death Group - Group E
Judging from the final draw, it was finally qualified for a group of high-profile death groups, that is, Group E, which gathered the top teams in Asia, Japan, and the European strong teams Spain and Germany. Group E has identified three teams from Spain, Germany and Japan, with the last team born from the winners of Costa Rica and New Zealand.
In this group of duels, Spain is the 2010 World Cup champion in South Africa, Germany is the 2014 World Cup champion in Brazil, and Japan is the strongest team in Asia, so no one is 100% sure that they can qualify. However, in the recent showdown, Germany has lost 6-0 to Spain in the European League match, so the showdown between the two teams is still worth looking forward to.
