In less than half a year, the much-anticipated 2022 World Cup will open in Qatar, the second time the World Cup has come to the Asian continent and the first time in history that it has been held in winter. The World Cup Round of 32 has all been produced, and all the giants will compete for the Hercules Cup on November 21, 2022!
Every World Cup is a stage for European and American giants to compete for glory, although this time the European Championship champion Italy will regret to be absent, but qatar winter will still be a star-studded star, showing the charm of this world's first sport hall-level event!
As the most successful team in world cup history, Brazil, which has won the World Cup five times, is regarded as Qatar's favorite to win the championship; South American giants Argentina has won the Copa America and the European and American Super Cup in the past two years, and the momentum is booming, and the champions are full; The downturn of defending champions France in the new UEFA Nations League is a vague concern!
2014 World Cup winner Germany is going through the throes of rebuilding, the newly appointed Frick led the team to the World Cup for the first time, the Germans want to avoid another appearance like the previous World Cup, the group stage is out; 2016 European Championship champions Portugal only reached the round of 32 after a play-off, its strength is quite questionable, C Ronaldo's last World Cup, will there be a miracle? All in all, the prospects for Germany and Portugal to win the title are not promising!
The Samba Legion is now ranked first in FIFA, and the deep heritage of five-star Brazil in the World Cup has made them a big favorite to win the championship, although it is 20 years since the last World Cup victory, but the talented Samba Legion is no less effective in the top 32 than the European giants!
Brazilian stars such as Neymar, Thiago Silva, Vinicius and Rodrigo have proven themselves in the Europa League, and they will inherit the mantle of Brazilian legends such as Ronaldo, Cafo, Ronaldo Jr. and Rivaldo, and regain the dignity of samba football in Qatar!
Argentina experienced a failure in 2014, and after 2018, it encountered the god-like Mbappe, which can only be said to be bad luck, Messi has never helped his national team win the third World Cup title, which is the biggest regret of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's career!
Messi is always desperate to win his first World Cup title, and Qatar may be his last chance! Fortunately, Argentina has performed very well in recent years, first winning the 2021 Copa America, then defeating European champions Italy at the 2022 UEFA Super Cup, and winning two consecutive titles in two years!
There is no doubt that Argentina in Qatar will still play around Messi, the veterans who experienced the defeat in 2014 are still there, and at the same time, there are many fresh blood, experienced and energetic Argentine teams, it is entirely possible to recreate the wonderful performance of the Copa America under the leadership of Messi!
In terms of strength, the defending champion France is still the only one in world football, a Mbappe is enough of a headache, and now with Benzema and Nkunku, the strength of the French team can be said to be the first in the top 32!
But the strength of the paper does not mean everything, the invincible battleship France actually suffered 2 draws and 2 losses in the European League, and 4 wins made Deschamps's team at the bottom of the group, which can't help but worry about the World Cup prospects of the Gaul Rooster!
In recent World Cups, there has been a curse of the defending champions' group stage, coupled with the national infighting in the French team like a time bomb, if Deschamps can not control the dressing room and let it ferment, then the Frenchman's defense cause is in jeopardy!
