The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is about to kick off,
The beginning of the fan's carnival,
Not long ago, the top 32 announced the national team uniform,
If you use gemstones as a reference,
Which gems are the 32 teams suitable for?
Which team will eventually reign?
Group A: Hosts Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands
Qatar: Sunstone
This World Cup is the first time to be held in winter, the most direct reason is that Qatar has hot summer weather, and the temperature will drop slightly in winter, which is conducive to the event. Perhaps the first impression of fans from all over the world when they come to Qatar is the abundance of sunlight, and the Qatari home jersey is red, so sunstone is chosen to represent the host.
Sunstone: also known as sunstone, belongs to the feldspar family, because the crystal contains mineral inclusions such as hematite, goethite and mica, and the reflection of light produces golden dazzling flashes, that is, the "placer gold effect", so it is named sunstone. The brighter the color of sunstone and the higher the value of the placer gold effect, Oregon in the United States is a source of high-quality sunstone.
Ecuador: Citrine
Ecuador followed Brazil and Argentina in the South American qualifiers, and there were no big stars in the team, relying on a solid team defense and a team-type team. The Ecuadorian jersey is pure yellow, and the choice of citrine in pure tones and high clarity represents suitability.
Citrine: belongs to a group of crystal gemstones, the production is larger, the source is more, the high-quality source is Madagascar, Brazil, etc., pure natural citrine color is usually lighter, the bright and full color of citrine on the market is usually formed after heating amethyst.
Senegal: Dapitte emerald

The main production areas are Colombia and Brazil.
Netherlands: Spessartite Garnet (Fanta)
The "uncrowned king" Netherlands team uniform is the iconic orange, the all-attacking and all-defensive style of the ball has won a large number of fans around the world, orange also symbolizes passion, coinciding with the style of the Orange. So the bright orange color of spessartite garnet is the best representative of the Dutch team.

The Netherlands are unique in the group and have no problem qualifying from the group. The host Qatar is mainly responsible for the excitement and is not strong enough to advance. Ecuador and Senegal will be more competitive, the former is good at defense, the latter is more impactful, and each edition an African team will advance to the round of 16, still favoring Senegal.
Group A qualifying forecast: Netherlands, Senegal

Saudi Arabia's strength through "foreign aid" has risen significantly, almost fighting at home, and has a certain ability to disrupt the situation. Mexico has reached the round of 16 almost every edition, and has also stopped at the round of 16, and is the goalkeeper of a first-class team.

Australia's style is similar to Denmark's, but in the end, the Vikings are stronger, and Tunisia is a newcomer.
Group D qualification forecasts: France, Denmark
Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan

With blue, yellow-green as the top quality, the texture is clean and transparent, and the vignetting effect is obviously the best.

Germany: Obsidian (obsidian)
The main colors of the veteran German team are white, black and a little gold, and black gemstones are generally niche, and obsidian is the more common one on the market. Obsidian is rustic and unpretentious, just in line with the rigor of the Germans, and the golden black flare stone can bring aesthetic enhancement, but also echo the gold elements on the German uniform.
Obsidian: Also known as golden sand obsidian, is obsidian containing gold, obsidian comes from volcanic lava, when the volcano erupts, the ejected rock flow quickly solidifies, and some iron minerals and potassium combine to form gold.

But Spain is a new generation that still needs to be exercised, the German team is past its peak, neither team is in prime time, and it is difficult to say who can be the first in the group. Consider the Germans' tradition of cohesion in team competitions to be slightly better. Asian team Japan is good and is likely to emerge as a spoiler.

Canada and Morocco have limited strength, Croatia as the runner-up last year, the core of the main force is old and strong, replicating the last miracle difficulty, but reaching the round of 16 is not a big problem.
Group F appearance: Belgium Croatia

Akka has the best cow's blood red, but has a white core on the back. Sardines are positive red and usually do not have a white core. Momo, on the other hand, is lighter in color and has a white core.

Portugal: Watermelon tourmaline
Another football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's curtain call, like Messi, the president lacks the Hercules Cup, this Portuguese is strong and powerful. The Portuguese team wears a red and green color scheme, and like the watermelon tourmaline in the two-color tourmaline, it always attracts attention.
Watermelon tourmaline: a special variety in tourmaline, with both green and red, green on the periphery, red in the center, just like watermelon, but jewelry to meet this standard is too difficult, so as long as the market has obvious red and green bicolor can be called watermelon tourmaline.

South American powerhouse Uruguay, led by Suya and Nunez, should be able to follow suit.
Group H qualification forecasts: Portugal, Uruguay
Ideally, this is the most interesting promotion match in my personal forecast, and the final eight matches are all fateful matches, but every World Cup will have dark horses, let's wait and see.
Suppose these two teams meet in the final,
It must be more able to detonate the feelings of the fans,
The end of the battle of peerless double arrogance!
The last World Cup of the two gods,
Unknowingly, 16 years have passed,
This session really wants to say goodbye to them,
The martyr's twilight years are strong!
Let us witness,
Qatar 2022 World Cup,
Battle of the Gods!
