2022 World Football Analysis "Which teams will be selected in the top 16? Let the experts tell you who will qualify!

2022 FIFA World Cup top 16 predictions

Group A – Qatar, Netherlands

As the host, although Qatar's international ranking is the second-to-last in this year's participation, and it has never entered the World Cup in history, but based on years of experience, there is no record that a landlord team has been wiped out in the top 32, even in the 2002 World Cup. The host countries of Japan and South Korea have successfully entered the top 16, and Qatar is the champion of the 2019 Asian Cup in Iran, Japan, South Korea and other countries. In the 2015 Asian Cup, Qatar only stopped in the top four. The strength is on the rise, and it should be safe to enter the top 16 with home field advantage.

As a veteran powerhouse, although the Netherlands has never won the World Cup, as long as the Netherlands has played in the World Cup, it has never stopped in the top 32, and at least has played in the top 16. While the Netherlands will benefit from the return of Virgil van Dijk, defensively, they have a very talented team with Virgil van Dijk and Mattis De Ligt at the back.

Group B – England, USA

Having reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the Euro 2020 final last summer, England have been on the verge of a grand slam, striving for an international league proof. England captain Harry Kane has led England in a positive and positive way by putting aside all the negatives of the past captains. In the 2020 European Cup, he even led England to almost bring football home.

At the same time, America has the most talented group. A lack of World Cup experience could be a problem for the Berhalter boss and his young squad, but even if Iran presents a much tougher challenge than many imagine, it should be enough to reach the round of 16.

Group C – Argentina, Poland

Could this be Messi 's best shot at the elusive World Cup trophy? Argentina currently has the longest unbeaten streak in international football (31 matches) and has finally provided Messi with the kind of support system he lacked in previous World Cups. Mexico will be targeting the last 16 (and beyond - the 'Quinto Partido' Mexican curse is still being talked about), but the firepower provided by Robert Lewandowski, the best goalscorer in the game at the moment, should get Poland over the line.

Group D – Denmark, France

Euro 2021 saw Denmark go all the way to the semi-finals, with Kaspar Jurmand's side building on that impressive World Cup qualifier. The Danish midfielder Eriksen also successfully returned to the team, I believe that Denmark will sweep away the regret of the European Cup and advance to the World Cup round of 16 or further.

France will have to deal with the reigning champions' curse in Qatar (no team has been World Cup champions in a row since Brazil in 1958 and 1962). Didier Deschamps' side have been a bit wobbly since their victory in Russia in 2018, but it could still be one of the more lopsided. With Mbappe, the best player of the new generation, Benzema, Pogba, Kante, Griezmann, who was re-recruited in the spring, you can't find any reason for France to stop in the top 32.

Group E – Spain, Germany

After a dismal 2018 World Cup, Luis Enrique has reinvigorated a Spanish side desperate for fresh ideas. Players like Pedri and Garvey make Spain one of the most exciting and youngest teams and should be seen not as potential winners but as real contenders.

When it comes to Germany in the World Cup, many people will definitely think of the dilemma of being beaten 2-0 by South Korea in stoppage time in 2018. At present, Germany is also in a generational transition and is still a threat of rapid transition. While both Japan and Costa Rica or New Zealand could play the role of spoilers, the two heavyweights are expected to make progress.

Group F – Belgium, Croatia

The 2022 World Cup will be a life-or-death game for Belgium, which faces the prospect of a golden generation passing by them without winning a Grand Slam title, especially with top stars such as Hazard and Lukaku among them. . Belgium has always had a problem. The strong teams full of teams cannot go beyond the limit because they cannot mix and match. However, this situation has improved in the 2018 World Cup, and their record has also jumped forward. Before the start of the 2020 European Cup, Belgium Still ranked first in the world, it is not difficult for them to go offline.

2018 FIFA World Cup Black Mark Roesia, the runner-up no one expected, if it weren't for the exhausting fight, maybe the champion might not be France, but Croatia has a big problem, the players are aging and maybe they have to face The question is how to cultivate the new generation and match the lineup. The top 16 of this year's World Football Team may be the end point.

Group G – Brazil, Serbia

As the world's No. 1 team, Brazil are rightfully at the top of Group G after going unbeaten in qualifying. However, Serbia and Switzerland are also unbeaten in qualifying, while Cameroon has three points from five of the last six matches in the qualifying round. All three teams have the possibility of qualifying with Brazil.

But I will join Serbia. Vlahovic, Tadic and Savic give Serbia an edge in attacking talent, which could attest to the difference.

Group H – Uruguay, Portugal

Uruguay recently reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2010 with a generation that included Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez. Now, a new generation is on the rise in Uruguay, with Darwin Nunes, Feder Valverde and Ronald Araujo all key players. Can Cavani and Suya lead Uruguay to the top 8 again?

Perhaps under the broader shadow cast by Ronaldo, Portugal is also transitioning into a new era. Look for the future king of Portuguese football in what may be the last World Cup for the 37-year-old unparalleled duo. Will it be Silva, Ferdenand or Rhoda?
