2022 world cup preview

 This tournament is in Qatar 🇶🇦 and is scheduled from November 20 to December 18. Held at this time of the year to avoid the extreme heat in that part of the world. First tournament in the Arab world and second in Asia. First game has Qatar vs Ecuador on the 20th at AL Bayt stadium and the final is on December 18th at Lusail Iconic stadium in Lusail on Qatar national day. Qatar is making its debut. Helps when you get chosen to host. 24 teams returning from 2018 and two ending lengthy droughts. Canada 1986 and Wales 1958.  Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal and Netherlands. Group B: England, Iran, United States and Wales. Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland. Group D: France, Australia, Denmark and Tunisia. Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany and Japan. Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco and Croatia. Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea. I think Canada will beat Morocco, tie Croatia znd lose to Belgium and miss the round of 16. We'll see how this goes. Here is the logo for this tournament.
