Who Qualified for Qatar 2022?
Italy is the only one of the seven world champions that will not be competing in Qatar.
The Azzurri and their four titles will be watching the World Cup from home for the second straight competition.
The remaining teams, which include Brazil, Germany, France, Uruguay, Argentina, Spain, and England, will compete in a matchup where the defending champions are heavy favorites.
France World Cup
There are so many excellent players at Didier Deschamps’ disposal that he could field two sides that might contend for the World Cup.
Maignan, Konate, Kounde, Theo Hernandez, Tchouameni, Nkunku, Coman, Diaby, and a Benzema who has returned to the national team with a bang have joined the 2018 champions (Mbappe, Griezmann, Kante, Pogba, Lucas Hernandez, Varane, Pavard, Lloris, Kimpembe, Dembele, Lemar…) as newcomers.
Although they were ousted by Switzerland in the round of 16 in the most recent European Championship and were eliminated from the Nations League final four after four rounds, they are still the side to beat.
Argentina World Cup
Following Argentina’s elimination from the World Cup against France in the round of 16, Lionel Scaloni assumed control in August 2018.
He was first granted an interim position, but with success, he was able to convert it into a permanent one.
With players like Lionel Messi, Di Maria, De Paul, Lo Celso, and Otamendi, as well as fresh faces like Julian Alvarez, Molina, Romero, and Lautaro, the strategist has assembled a formidable squad around him.
After winning the Copa America, their first championship in three decades, the Albiceleste will compete at the World Cup for Messi’s last dance.
Brazil World Cup
Since taking over in 2016, Tite’s Brazil has not yet reached its peak. A Copa America victory in 2019 was followed by a loss in 2021, and the Selecao was eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in the quarterfinals.
To an assault that already has Gabriel Jesus, Richarlison, and a Neymar attempting to surpass Pele as the nation’s all-time greatest scorer, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Antony, and Raphinha have been added.
Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Militao, and Alisson follow Fabinho, Bruno Guimaraes, and Casemiro in the middle of the field.
Spain World Cup
Spain will not alter its style for anyone, according to Luis Enrique.
The coach will attempt to improve a team that lost to France in the Nations League final and Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 semi-finals. The team was drawn in a group alongside Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica.
Simon, Robert Sanchez, Raya, Carvajal, Azpilicueta, Laporte, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Diego Llorente, Pau Torres, Rodri, Busquets, Soler, Llorente, Koke, Gavi, Pedri, Ansu, Ferrran, Morata, Dani Olmo, and Sarabia will be on Enrique’s team, barring any injuries.
a combination of youth and experience as La Roja looks to go on.
Germany, England, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium
Germany is completely rebuilding, with seasoned players (Muller and Neuer) competing alongside well-known players (Gnabry, Goretzka, Sane, Gundogan) and new players (Havertz, Musiala, Adeyami).
Under the leadership of Gareth Southgate, who can rely on Kane, Foden, Mount, Sterling, and Rice, England, which reached the past World Cup’s semifinals and narrowly missed winning the Euros, appears to have taken the ultimate step ahead.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Leao, Pepe, and Joao Felix will all be relied upon by Portugal as they attempt to win the World Cup one last time.
The same can be said of Belgium, as Lukaku, De Bruyne, and Hazard’s time is running out.
Although they don’t have many stars (Van Dijk, De Jong, or Depay), their Dutch neighbors who missed Russia 2018 are back and they might pose a threat.
Similar circumstances exist for Uruguay, who have young players like Valverde and Darwin Nunez to assist Luis Suarez and Cavani.
