With the prologue to another international matchday, the 2022 Qatar World Cup regular seats are officially established for 29 of the 32 teams, and the remaining 3 regular spots will be created through play-off competition. Among the teams that have qualified, such as Spain, Germany, England, France, Belgium and other popular teams have not unexpectedly won the first place, and the stable play of The Asian First Group South Korea and Iran has always been insufficient for the catch-up, coupled with the revival of Saudi Arabia and the endurance of Japan's future, it is still an important force in the Asian football section. There are winners and there are naturally frustrated people, and some teams have the comprehensive value and overall ability of the players who should have the potential to enter the World Cup but lost the book will bring about an inventory of the five disappointing teams in this World Preliminary Tournament. (Purely personal point of view, if there are different views, please leave a comment)
5. Algeria
Algeria, with the title of Desert Fox, has only won the African Cup of Nations twice, but it is not a regular visitor at the World Cup level to experience a period of lows, but for historical reasons and other reasons, there are many familiar stars here: Zidane, Benzema, Nasri and even the popular Mbappe all have Algerian ancestry. Participating in the mysterious North African powerhouse for the first time in the World Cup has made the mighty Germany its own history-making background board, and in 2014, Algeria participated in the World Cup for the fourth time as desired from the group to reach the round of 16.
Algeria won the Africa Cup of Nations after 30 years
In a group with relatively loose competitive pressure, Algeria naturally does not want to put the situation in a disadvantageous situation for itself, facing the Arc of the Djibouti Desert Outside the International Ranking 180, scoring 12 goals in two legs, Slimani's single senior and 6 points easily closed. Facing the relatively threatening strength of the Group, the Desert Foxes of Burkina Faso did not take much advantage of the away goal of Fegooli first took the lead in the second half of Tapsoba to chase the score to 1:1, and the collision between the two sides in the second leg was flaming and the two-time leading North African arc failed to resist the opponent's determination to counterattack 2:2 and was forced by the opponent to face Niger in the two legs 10:1 to advance to the top position.
Algeria won 4 wins and 2 draws to qualify first in the group
After qualifying, Algeria also missed the African lion Cameroon, who also missed the last World Cup, and the opposite team also had Shubomotin, Ekambi, Abubakar, Onana and other long-established players The difference in strength between the two sides added a lot of suspense to the two-legged game. In the first leg, the defender of the North African arc was protected by the excellent performance of the veteran goalkeeper Mborshi, and Slimani scored a crucial away goal to give the team a head start. The controversial goal of the second leg Shupomotin pulled the two teams to the same running line Algeria corner game in the perimeter barb to the penalty area in front of the goal the visiting team player suspected of handball without any blowing in front of the goal of Slimani was blown offside into extra time Silimani had scored another goal also due to the handball was cancelled after the first VAR replay.
Algeria was killed by the second reading
The final climax of extra time algeria first used a corner kick in the 118th minute by the extra-time substitute Touba header on goal just when everyone thought the match would end with the home team's killer goal, Cameroon made a final attempt in front of the home team in the last few minutes of extra time, the 124th minute of the front free kick was sent to the box before the nodding ball relay Embi followed up the shot at the back point to complete the reversal in an instant. The failure of millions of stars such as Mahrez, Bennacell, Benahma, Attar and others to miss the World Cup is undoubtedly a major regret, especially in this way of farewell, it is undeniable that Algeria is still one of the fastest growing teams in Africa in recent years, and it is expected that the North African arc can learn lessons and improve the collectivity of the competitive field on the basis of talent.
4. Chile
In 2014, under the Argentine coach Sampaoli, Chile continued the outstanding performance of the qualifiers in the World Cup that year, and the 352 formation was constantly mobilized against the strong team to continuously mobilize the enthusiasm of the opponent to transform the problem exposed by the defending champion Spain into a goal from the group, facing the host Brazil's onslaught The tenacious Chilean equalized with Sanchez's goal and even showed great combat effectiveness even in the last minute of overtime even if it fell at 12 yards. The golden generation of players such as Sanchez, Bravo, Vargas, Vidal and other players has become a roadblock for Messi to hate the Copa America for two consecutive years, although it is not the outstanding competitive ability of the traditional South American giants in the intercontinental competition that has excited domestic fans.
Chile beat Argentina on two Copa America penalties
The road to the 2018 World Cup Chile 2 wins 1 draw home after the overthrow of Brazil 2 focus battles suffered a losing streak during the experience of a coaching change away defeat to Paraguay made a subtle change in the outlook Plateau home Vargas, Sanchez attacked the dud 3 goals lost Ecuador fell to the 7th after the three rounds of unbeaten situation stabilized the situation for a while, the home 3:1 revenge Uruguay first-line double star Sanchez, Vargas's timely return to form 3 goals at home to Paraguay has dealt Chile a blow at the 3600-meter estadio Siles Arena Arce's penalty has once again faced a serious challenge for the two-time Copa America winner, although the home sanchez's counter-attack to Ecuador's 3-0 defeat in the final round of The Brazilian completely declared the team's vision of leaving for three consecutive World Cups shattered.
Chile scored just 10 points in 10 rounds
Chile has made changes in the back line and other positions in recent years, but with Sanchez, Vargas, Vidal and other midfield configurations that contributed to the copa America have been retained, but with the passage of time, the overall core structure is generally over 30 years old Chile conceded a goal in the first round of this World Cup qualifier Sanchez scored a goal in the second half of the equalizers, saw the hand's 1 point outside the penalty area in the stoppage time, the defender leaked by Gomez, the second round of the winning goal was scored by Gomez, the second round of the final time made a mistake to send a point Falcao's absolute penalty let Chile's world preliminary first win failed to come until the third round to harvest the first three-point first 10 rounds 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, including 3 of the last time was killed by the opponent or conceded 5 points in the final time 。
Chile's 1:2 Argentina qualifier is grim
In the second round, two consecutive wins against Paraguay and Venezuela were finally proven to return to the World Cup ticket battle with Ecuador Vidal opened with a red 14 minutes in the first half 36 minutes attacking core Sanchez due to injury to play one less person the score left Chile in a passive and difficult to stop effective offensive injury time Stage Kecedo scored another goal to seal the victory, Midfield leader Vidal's suspension was immediately made worse by the Argentine's two consecutive goals in 35 minutes Bravo's calf injury. Although Sanchez scored twice at Bolivia's high-altitude stadium, he led the team to a difficult 3-pointer to face Brazil before conceding two goals in a row before the end of the first half and finally losing four goals, the final game 0:2 Uruguay broke in two consecutive World Cup qualifiers.
Chile 0:2 Uruguay 2 consecutive World Cup qualifiers stop the main match
Chile, who was once the 2-time Copa America champion and is currently ranked 19th in the world, has fallen into a slump after the glory or somewhat caught off guard Former coach Sampaoli has raised objections to the players' attitude to the game The atmosphere in the team is tense, the communication between each other is lack of unity, and Sanchez, who should have played an important role, has not been able to have outstanding leadership performances on and off the field. Vidal is about to turn 35 years old defensive stalwart Isla is about to turn 34, and Sanchez is also about to spend his 34th birthday at the end of this year.
3. Nigeria
In the 1980s and 1990s, under the leadership of Okocha, Kanu, Oliseih and other famous players, the African Eagle Nigeria played with great characteristic impact and aggression in 1994, reaching the final stage of the World Cup for the first time in 1994, winning the gold medal in the Olympic Games two years after qualifying from the group and advancing to the knockout rounds for two consecutive World Cups, entering the new century except for failing to reach the World Cup in 2006. As a populous country in Africa, Nigeria has many outstanding stars who have played in the five major leagues in recent years: Mikel, Moussa, Moses, Isinacho, Ighalo, Iwobi, etc. In terms of overall strength, Nigeria is by no means inferior to Ghana, Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and other African powerhouses.
Nigeria lost a good game at the 2018 World Cup
In 2018, Nigeria was unbeaten in the final round to qualify for the initiative in its own good conditions Mascherano's foul Moses once saw the hope of qualifying, Rojo's goal-and-shoot kill brought the African Eagles from a beautiful fairy tale to a cruel reality Even so, nigeria's configuration in this World Cup is still luxurious and specially reflected in the midfield: 45 million Ondiddi, 50 million Oosmaine, The combination of 25.5 million Oywobi and other players who play a key role in their respective clubs is envisionable. With the exception of world-ranked Cape Verde, liberia and the Central African Republic, which are ranked 73rd in the world, cannot shake Nigeria's thriving position, and it seems only a matter of time before they qualify.
Facing the World-ranked 150-150-away Liberian African Eagles in the field to achieve the efficiency of the extreme home four shots on the right flank with speed nigerians frequently sent threatening passes to attack the opponent's hinterland, Isinacho's unique two-way helped the team to win the opening red in the first half of the away game to take advantage of the foul in front of the opponent's penalty area, and the first half of the second quarter by Osmayne and substitute Moussa Jiangong double-killed the opponent. Nigeria, which has more attacker options in the two legs with Cape Verde, continues to pressure Cape Verde in front of the opponent's goal in front of the attacking line, and the only 1 time to play the right goal range in the opening 19 minutes of the home game is taken by Tavares, but the African Eagles who woke up in time were quickly pulled by Osmayne to the same level below the same level In the half, Cape Verde midfielder swung Oolong Nigeria to a narrow away victory, and Nigeria, who could qualify at home, scored a lightning goal in the opening minute and finally tied the promotion.
Nigeria drew 0-0 with Ghana
The home match with the Central African Republic was not shocking Nigeria, whether it was the possession rate, shots, corners, free kicks and other attacks showed a crushing trend, but the handling of the last blow in front of the goal lacked precision The injury withdrawal of the main forward is ichinacho, the game is full of uncertainties, and the Central African Republic, which has not lost the city gate for 90 minutes, completed the kill in injury time and sent it to the African Eagles for the first defeat in the group stage. In the second leg, the African Eagles refused to overturn Balogun and Osmayne scored a goal in the first half to seal the victory in advance, and after qualifying, Nigeria, who was visiting the traditional powerhouse Ghana, ensured that the defense did not concede a goal under the premise of not conceding a goal on the offensive end, and only 1 foot shot tenaciously defended 0:0 In the second round, gunners Paltai scored a thousand dollars worth of away goals for Ghana in 10 minutes, using Ghana's penalty area foul Aikon to score penalties Nigeria to strengthen the attack in the second half Simon, Ighalo, Attacking players such as Moussa have been dispatched to play but it is difficult to break ghana's solid defense, and Nigeria has unfortunately been eliminated with an away goal disadvantage.
Nigeria's away goalscoring disadvantage sadly bid farewell
Missing the World Cup made Nigerian fans emotionally volatile and unacceptable after the game, and rushed into the stadium scene in a mess, as a country with a population of Africa that has tasted the World Cup and won the African Cup of Nations 3 times, Nigeria has cultivated many talented stars. In the mainstream European leagues have left outstanding performances in the World Cup lineup structure tends to be younger African Eagles have rich reserves in each position: the back line Ena after buying out to join Turin to get the experience of the front court chuk Uze, Isinajo, Osmayne, Dennis, Lukman and other mesozoic representatives, Ndidi's two key battles due to injury absence of Nigeria's midfield defensive losses In terms of overall competitiveness, the African Eagles are full of regrets, and the renewal of the Football Association is to start again for the future. The beginning of a full-blooded return.
2. Colombia
Colombia's initial glory as a rising star in South American football began in the late 1980s and early 1990s with Iquita, Valderrama, With the help of players such as Asprila in the summer of 1990, the first time he qualified for the World Cup in the summer of Italy, he rushed out of the group stage for the first time, but due to the unstable extreme forces in the country, the famous revenge of the oolong caused by the country's unstable extreme forces put the whole country under great pressure As Valderrama and other stars retired, even if they won the Copa America championship in the historic hometown, their own strength was not enough to create miracles again in the real hard battle of the World Preliminary Round, and they failed three World Cups after 1998.
J Ronaldo 2014 World Cup Flash
Until the rise of demon stars such as Falcao, Jackson Martinez, Guarin, J Ronaldo in 2014, Colombia returned to the World Cup after 16 years of world preliminary offensive and defensive balance in the South American continent, and the strong integrity of the World Cup in Brazil allowed J Ronaldo to fully exert his attack in order to reach 6 goals in a single World Cup and reach 6 After 1990, he reached the top 8 and set a new record. Colombia won the last World Cup in the final round to the knockout round penalty shootout and unfortunately lost to the top 8.
After the change of coach, Colombia got rid of the decline
In the attempt to alternate the old and new bone experience and the need for control of the field or let the team recruit J Ronaldo, Falcao, Cuadrado and other veterans who have been baptized in many major competitions, many of them have had the experience of the 2018 World Cup, and it is still one of the biggest hits in the South American zone, the first round of home 3 goals lightly took the Venezuelan Zapata and Muriel composed of the front line half time to pack all 3 goals In the second round, before the early goal half, the opponent scored 2 goals for a short time and fell behind for a long time When Falcao grabbed the key draw before the final goal. Continuing the 433 formation but being overwhelmed by the efficient offensive efficiency of the opponent's four shots and three goals against Uruguay, the Highland Stadium Ecuador interpreted the efficiency of football to the extreme in half-time to knock Colombia's city pool 9 feet in the frame of the goal in exchange for a 6-1 victory change seems imminent.
Colombia missed the play-offs by one point
The 7th position in the two defeats in the standings looks so shocking After the dismissal of Queros new coach Ruida 442 play and the prestige of the dressing room after the 8 games the team achieved unbeaten home 8 minutes behind 2 goals In the second half of the second second minutes to score a draw to force Argentina to draw the best embodiment of the team's high morale, it is a little regrettable that although facing Argentina, Brazil during the unbeaten period, The fighting spirit of strong opponents such as Chile is commendable as many as 6 draws, which indirectly shows the absolute strength of the team that did not win the game. After a small away defeat to Brazil, only 1 point was scored in 4 consecutive games, and although 2 consecutive wins and did not concede a goal due to the same win of direct rival Peru, Colombia's counterattack hopes were shattered by 1 point.
In the World Preliminary Tournament, Colombia has a significant improvement after the low start and high change of coach, but the draw is too much in the face of the game that should have won three points, and J Ronaldo, Cuadrado and other players who have led Colombia to create the best record in the World Cup are more than 30 years old, and the younger generation needs to stand up and stand alone in order to have a place in the future World Series.
1. Italy
As one of the traditional powerhouses in Europe and the fourth-time World Cup champion after Brazil, since the 2006 World Cup, due to the overall limitation of the league due to the domestic economic impact and the previous scandal, the decline in brand value competitiveness cannot be compared with the Premier League that ushered in the Golden Dollar Era and the La Liga that Merrow competed for after that. The aging age of the two World Cup group stages in 2010 and 2014 forced the team to be replaced, and the fan operation of ventura in the 2018 World Cup caused Italy to miss the World Cup. Mancini's arrival revived Italy's low morale to open 37 rounds of unbeaten oppression quick defense in last year's European Championship, with the achievements of the new European Cup to meet the World Preliminary Tournament naturally more confident.
Jorginho lost two points
Facing italy, the worst opponent in the group, it was not surprising that the opponent was double-matched in two legs 7-0, and the match with the fourth-gear team Bulgaria in the matchline was suppressed in a suppressed state away shot than 22:3 If it were not for Ilyev's multiple blocks from high and low blocks, the result might have been more passive. Belotti and Locatelli scored three points at home although Chiesa Jr. scored for the Blues first Ilev for the visiting team after Italy failed to take full advantage of the situation to substitute Pellegrini, Berardi, Raspadori and other players failed to create better opportunities under the opponent's tight defense and had no choice but to draw 1-1. The two-legged match against Switzerland italy failed to grasp the details of the first penalty shootout Jorginho missed two penalties and fell behind by 2 points to relegate to the second place in the group to participate in the play-offs, and the blue-clad army dominated the play-offs with North Macedonia and the delay in scoring Trakovsky's stoppage time world wave allowed Italy to fold the World Cup finals for two consecutive times.
Italy has missed the World Cup for two consecutive years
The most obvious deficiency of Italy in this tournament is that the lack of strength in a game is often more than 20 feet in a game, which reflects that the mentality of the players in the competition has not adjusted to the best, and the aura of the European Cup champion has become a shackle on the way forward. In addition, Italy in recent years in some positions failed to complete the replacement of local players in the league is difficult to be effectively guaranteed, even if the growth of young stars such as Chiesa Jr., Zaniolo and other young stars is eye-catching, but it is still too little After the failure of the 2 World Cups, Italy may be able to calmly self-awareness through youth training to improve the cultivation of local players and then get enough time to exercise at the club to help the national team.
