During the Qatar World Cup group stage, teams will be playing each other three times in a round robin system. If one team wins all three matches, they’ll advance to the knockout stage. If two or more teams each win a match, the two teams with the most points will qualify.
FIFA’s Qatar World Cup group stage draw has officially set the field for the championship. 32 teams are in the group stage and will play in the tournament over November and December. They will be divided into eight groups of four teams. The winner of each group will progress to the ’round of 16′.
The USMNT are in Group B, which also features Iran and England. Their first match will take place on November 20 against Ecuador. The USMNT have never won a World Cup. But several young players are competing in top European leagues. They’re led by Christian Pulisic.
Uruguay is the only other country that is not in Group A. They’ll play Argentina in the final group stage match on December 18. Uruguay has been a consistent performer in the tournament, having won five of their last eight matches, including a win over Italy. They’re also a favorite to win the trophy.
Spain is the second-best pick to win the World Cup. They’re also coming off a disappointing World Cup. However, the country has been under new management and has recruited some exciting talents. Germany is also in the top four.
Argentina is also a top pick for the World Cup. They have a strong national team, led by Lionel Messi. They’re in an unbeaten 35-match streak going into the tournament. They also have a fantastic manager. They’ve won against Morocco twice. They’ve also defeated Italy, and they’re looking for their fourth World Cup win.
England are also one of the top picks. They’ve won the last two European Championships, and they’ve made the semi-finals of the last World Cup. They’ve also beaten Iran, and they’ve played Scotland in the group stage. They’ve also played Mexico, and they’ve won twice.
France is also a top pick. They have a strong, cohesive team and they’re coming off a win over Italy. They’re a top team in the Concacaf tournament. They’re also playing Belgium, which they’ve won twice against, but they’re in a tough group. They’re also playing Netherlands, which has a star-studded roster led by Louis Van Gaal.
Brazil is also a strong pick to win the World Cup. They’re the top team in the Concacaf tournament, and they’ve already won two games against Portugal. They’re in a tough group, too, but they’re also in a strong position.
Senegal is another dark horse. They have a strong, star-studded roster. They’ve only won one game against Belgium, but they’ve also played Morocco. They’re in a tough group, but they’re also playing Netherlands, which has gotten off to a slow start. They’re also a top team in the Concacaf Tournament, and they’ve defeated Italy, and they’re in a tough group, too.
