The 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar is already starting to beat. The draw was held at the Doha Exhibition and Congress Centre, which defined the composition of the group stage and the fixture of the tournament. And the Costa Rica team, led by Colombia's Luis Suárez, in case of winning the repechage will be part of a very difficult group.
The 'Tica' team will have to surpass New Zealand in June to secure its place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which will be played between November and December. There he would play group E, with two world champion teams (Germany and Spain) and perhaps the strongest in the Asian confederation, Japan.
He would debut against Spain on November 23. The turn would then be to measure its counterpart from Japan on November 27. Finally, it would be measured against one of the teams that most coaches wanted to avoid, that of Germany on December 1.
This group is paired in the next round of the World Cup with the F, where the Belgian national team appears, until a few weeks ago the first selection in the FIFA Ranking. Also favorite is the current world runner-up, Croatia led by Real Madrid player Luka Modric. The ones that complement the area are Canada, a team that ended up as leader in the Central American Qualifier and with an interesting process with young players. The opponent that seems to be the weakest is the Moroccan national team.
GROUP A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal and the Netherlands.
GROUP B: England, Iran, United States and (Wales-Scotland/Ukraine)
GROUP C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland.
GROUP D: France, (Peru-UAE/Australia), Denmark and Tunisia.
GROUP E: Spain, (Costa Rica/New Zealand), Germany and Japan.
GROUP F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco and Croatia.
GROUP G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Camerún.
GROUP H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea.
The South American casts were uneven lucky: Ecuador will open the action at the World Cup against Qatar, on Monday, November 21 at Al Bait Stadium. And he will have to battle against rivals such as Senegal (Africa Cup champion) and the Netherlands. Brazil has adversaries of respect, such as Switzerland, Serbia and Cameroon, although under normal conditions it should move forward. Peru (to win the repechage against the Arab Emirates or Australia) will find itself in a very demanding area, against France, Denmark and Tunisia.
The Albiceleste played an accessible group (the C), at least within the panorama offered by the drums. He will make his debut against Saudi Arabia (22/11), with Mexico (26/11) from ciborium 2, avoiding facing the most powerful, although we should not disdain the power of the Aztecs, led by an old acquaintance: the Tata Martino. And the third opponent was Poland (30/11), the team that has as its flag Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich striker who, just fought with Lionel Messi for the best footballer awards of 2021.
And the case of Uruguay is particular. While the draw did not bring a clear “Group of Death”, the most similar to that concept is H, where Celeste fell, with Portugal by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ghana and South Korea.
