Six continents are qualified for the next round: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. We give credit to everyone who surprised us, especially the Moroccans, Australians, Koreans, and Japanese. This 2022 tournament has proved to be unpredictable making it harder for fans to guess the outcomes.
Surprising Outcomes
In contrast to the 2018 World cup in Russia where we saw France vs Argentina, Portugal vs Uruguay, and Brazil vs Mexico.
This World Cup has been full of surprises, tension, and tight matches. No national team achieved maximum performance in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar.
The Brazilians had a chance, but were defeated by Cameroon 1:0. We saw a large number of upsets including the elimination of Germany, Belgium, Uruguay, and Mexico. For the first time since the 1994 World Cup in the US, nobody has earned all nine points in their group.
