According to current FIFA rules, all teams participating in the Qatar World Cup will be divided into three gears according to the FIFA ranking on March 31. The first gear is made up of host Qatar and the seven highest-ranked teams in the world to reach the World Cup. The second and third gears are ranked in the world, one gear for every 8 teams. The bottom 5 teams and the 3 teams that have not yet been decided from the play-offs are in the fourth bracket. The 32 teams that will eventually participate in the World Cup will be divided into eight groups, one in each of the four classes, but with the exception of European teams, teams from the same continent cannot be divided into one group, and European teams can have a maximum of two teams per group.
In terms of results, Spain, Germany and Japan in Group E can be called the "death group". Iran faces England, the United States and the winning teams in the European play-offs, and the road to advancement may not be smooth. South Korea is the same group with Portugal, Ghana and Uruguay, of which Portugal and South Korea are the second confrontation after 20 years, in the 2002 Japan-South Korea World Cup, South Korea eliminated Portugal a scene is still remembered by fans, do not know how this "revenge game" will be staged in the game, and Uruguay is the team that eliminated Portugal in the last World Cup, if group E is the "group of death", it seems that group H can become the "group of conflicts".
The Qatar World Cup is somewhat different from the previous World Cup, the time of the November 21 event has disrupted the schedule of many national leagues, and the epidemic is still in the world has not subsided, how will such a large-scale football match ensure the live effect? Everything is still unknown, after all, for Chinese fans, this is another World Cup without worrying about the victory or defeat of the Chinese team, find a favorite team, and watch the game without baggage, it is not a bad thing.
