World Cup 2022 Best Bets

Overview of the 2022 World Cup

 

The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar (watch broadcast at 스포츠중계), the first World Cup ever to be held in the Arab world and also the last one to involve only 32 teams. The 2026 World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico and will contain 48 national teams. With only one team as of yet to be qualified for the 2022 tournament, Qatar (the host country), it is still a guessing game as to which teams will even be there and the games are set to start in just over a year.

 

Teams that have a shot

 

Based solely upon the results of the most recent tournaments, the 2020 Euro Cup and Copa America, Italy, England, Argentina, and Brazil all have proved to be the strongest of contenders. All of whom have just played in the finals of their respective tournaments, with Italy and Argentina being the big winners and England and Brazil being the big losers. Going into any match, France and Belgium will be the betting favorites as they are both young and exciting teams and not to mention they are currently sitting at #1 and #2 in the FIFA World Rankings. Spain and Portugal are also very strong clubs that can make some big waves in the upcoming tournament. Spain always seems to be in contention in every tournament that it plays in, whereas Portugal is never too far behind. With that being said, the only remaining teams yet to be mentioned that are in FIFA’s top 12 in the world rankings are Uruguay, Denmark, Mexico, and Germany. These teams however are a large step below the top 8 and don’t stand a chance.

 

Best bets

 

Being the winner of the 2018 World Cup, France is clearly positioned as the team to beat for the next one World Cup. As mentioned previously, they are currently ranked #2 in the world, and they have some really talented, young players. After France, Brazil would be the next most likely team to go all the way. They are the most winning national team in all of the sport and have an abundance of talent. It is certainly difficult to ever count them out and they always seem to step up on the world stage. The other teams with a shot to win are Italy, Spain, England, Belgium, and Argentina. But that’s it. No one else has a shot. It certainly is just a race between these 7 teams. As for Portugal, don’t expect much. With the games set to begin in November of 2022, soccer fans and non-soccer fans everywhere should begin to prepare because if it is anything like the EURO 2020 tournament, we should all be in for a treat.
