World Cup draw 2022

With the U.S. set to be pulled from Pot 2 in the upcoming 2022 World Cup draw, what are the best and worst possible results for Gregg Berhalter and company?

1 1 1 1 Despite a FIFA ranking of No. 18, Wales is possible to qualify in Pot 4 through the yet undecided UEFA playoff path. Finally, out of Pot 4, an Ecuador side that drew with Argentina and Brazil in World Cup qualifying and picked up wins over Uruguay and Colombia would be a very difficult opponent. Senegal is the highest-ranked team in Pot 3, and it's no secret why. Gareth Southgate has fostered a strong, cohesive group with talented players that would present a unique and difficult opponent for the U.S. After that, a pull of the lowest ranked team in Pot 3 in Tunisia would be a kind result. Therefore, any team joining Qatar in Group A is not facing a true Pot 1 team. For any team included in Pots 2-4, like the United States, a draw in Group A is where any best-case scenario begins. Gregg Berhalter stated that the first goal for the U.S. is to get out of the group, and if the squad looks beyond that, it risks an early letdown.

Regardless of who the Pot 2 team is in Qatar’s group, it will almost definitely be the favorite to win the group. That would already be the dream draw for the United States. Meanwhile, Tunisia appears to be the weakest team in Pot 3, and not just by FIFA ranking. It’s obvious that the most boring group on paper (or envied, depending on if you’re a casual fan or a national team) should have Qatar as the Pot 1 representative. Regardless, the fight for the two spots in the knockout spots out of this group would be fascinating to watch. We can keep going on and on with the worst-case scenarios for the USMNT, but that would be cruel. It wouldn’t necessarily be a stunner if any combination of these two teams advanced to the knockout stages. This group takes the highest-ranked nations, according to the FIFA world ranking, in each pot and places them together. It would not be fun to be fans of any of these teams in this group. After all, Serbia did go undefeated in World Cup qualifying and won its group over Portugal. But at the World Cup, it won’t have the intimidation factor that is home games at Red Star Stadium. Still, no one wants to draw Serbia coming out of Pot 3. We’ve seen worse (remember Germany, Portugal, USA, Ghana in 2014?), but this group still has the potential to be frightening. And the fact that there are three teams not yet known, due to the remaining playoffs to be played in June, adds extra intrigue to the mix. This is literally the luck of the draw.

Three additional teams will fill the last of the 32 spots. Each group will have either one or two teams from Europe. Here they will be accompanied by the seven highest-ranking teams that qualified. In order for all this to happen, the World Cup draw must first take place. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage: the round of 16, followed by quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place match and finals. But before we can enter the Cup, qualified teams must take part in the World Cup draw.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 begins on November 21 in Qatar. However, the draw to determine which group each qualified county is in takes place this Friday,

The 2022 FIFA World cup will consist of 32 teams. Peacock will stream the 2022 world cup draw live.

The Wales/Scotland/Ukraine placeholder will be treated like any other European participant as far as geographic restrictions (maximum two European nations per group). Each pot is emptied before moving on to the next one. The draw will start with Pot 1 and end with Pot 4. The four teams selected into the group will play a round-robin format with each nation facing the other three. Host nation Qatar is pre-selected from Pot 1 to play in Group A as per World Cup tradition. If there's a geographic clash, the team drawn is simply moved to the next group in sequence.

The 32 nations who will be competing in this year's World Cup in Qatar will learn their group matchups on Friday. Here's how you can follow the draw.

Costa Rica will take on New Zealand in one intercontiental playoff, and Peru will face the winner of the United Arab Emirates versus Australia in the other. Those matches will take place in June. The other three groups each get one European team. That means they'll be part of Pot 2 as the eight groups for the tournament — held Nov. 21 to Dec. 18 in Qatar — are drawn from four pots based on their current rankings. In each of the four pots (of eight teams each), one team will be drawn and placed into groups A through H. Europe has 13 teams in the tournament and five of the eight groups will each get two teams from the continent.

Final qualifiers are still wrapping up, leaving a few spots left in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but that's not stopping the ball rolling on the tournament.

Brazil would go on to win the World Cup. The term originated during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico as a way to refer to the horrific Group C, which saw Brazil, England, Romania and Czechoslovakia put together. * Italy failed to qualify for the second straight World Cup. It’s an extremely unusual World Cup that won’t kick off until November 21 due to concerns about heat in the Persian Gulf, which routinely tops 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and would be hazardous for players. Friday marks the announcement of the draw for group stages, with 32 teams, including host nation Qatar, all finding out their fates. Teams were arranged into four pots, and then selected by random draw.

The group draw will take place at 11 a.m. Central from Doha, Qatar. It will be televised on FOX Sports 1. What is the World Cup 2022 format?

Part of that has to do with the changes in the way the group draw is done. Drawing into Qatar's group is going to be the goal for the teams in Pots 2-4. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar begins Nov. 21, with group play continuing through Dec. 2. For example, the CONCACAF-Oceania winner will not be placed in a group with the USMNT, Mexico or Canada. The top two teams in each group move onto the Round of 16 and the single-elimination knockout rounds. The 32 teams will be drawn into eight groups for November's tournament.

The field for this year's World Cup in Qatar is (nearly) complete. Today, the teams who have qualified will learn their opponents.

“Madam President, you visit our country and made no request for a meeting,” he said. “I urge everybody — we have always been open for dialogue,” he added. Her words drew an immediate and sharp rebuke from FIFA’s Qatari hosts, but also some other soccer federations. No room for leaders that cannot host the women’s game. “Human rights, equality, democracy, the core interests of football, were not in the starting XI until many years later,” Klaveness said. FIFA, all of us, must now take all necessary measures to really implement change.

However, we will have to wait to discover the venues and kickoff times. 11.36 ET / 15.36 GMT: After over 11 years since they won the bid to host the World Cup, Friday is a landmark day for Qatar's biggest event yet. 12.32 ET / 16.32 GMT: France coach Didier Deschamps is bringing out the World Cup trophy onto the stage. Japan and Costa Rica or New Zealand complete the group and will have their work cut out to make the knockout rounds. 13.20 ET / 17.20 GMT: Phew! That went at breakneck speed once the draw actually began. Suarez was sent off, Ghana missed the penalty and Uruguay went on to win on a shootout. "For most of the first seeds they would be pleased with the group they get. Well, in the 2010 World Cup, it was Ghana who thought they had scored with the last kick to go through to the semifinals. Asked about potential round-of-16 opponents, Southgate said: "We have to get out of the group first. And then with Ukraine, you're pulling for them naturally just because of everything that's going on and you want to give the people hope and spirit so it would be nice to see Ukraine pull through.

Iran lost only three out of 18 total World Cup qualifiers, while a potential Wales appearance would added Gareth Bale and the No. 18 team in the FIFA rankings ...

Portugal was the final team into Pot 1 but looks to have its hands full with Ghana coming out of Pot 4. The pairings are quite uncanny considering that Brazil, Serbia and Switzerland also shared a group in 2018. This is already turning out to be one of the most formidable groups, and a clear potential Group of Death candidate. Four of the last five champions haven’t gotten out of the group in their title defenses. And while it’s not Serbia or Senegal, Japan could arguably be one of the tougher Pot 3 teams. The bad news is that a potential matchup with Wales, ranked 18th in the FIFA world rankings, waits in the wings if Gareth Bale & Co. can win its June playoff.
