Although it is more than a year before its beginning, the Qatar World Cup 2022 it is already beginning to throb for being a special World Cup, after the harsh situation that the whole world had to live and that even today continues to transit with the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting November 21, 2022 and completion almost a month later, on December 18, the teams are bidding for one of the 32 available spots, and so far only three combined have sealed their classification: the local Qatar, which acceded directly, and Germany and Denmark, that became unreachable in their areas.
The unknown that many football fans are having is about the teams that will be the seeds in the eight groups that will be configured in search of the great world title. On 90min We explain how it will be defined so that you can get an idea of the groups that are coming.
Qatar will be seeded in Group A, as the host of the event. The other seven places will be defined by official ranking, which currently has these top 10 teams: 1- Belgium, 2- Brazil, 3- England, 4- France, 5- Italy, 6- Argentina, 7- Portugal, 8- Spain, 9- Mexico and 10- Denmark. The first seven on this list would enter a draw to see which group they are seeded from, as long as, of course, they achieve the passage to the tournament. GermanyDespite already being classified as we have mentioned, it has no mathematical chances of reaching this instance by general sum of points.
After this triple FIFA date, the FIFA ranking will be updated and the uncertainty is whether it will be taken into account in the face of the seeds for the world competition. Mister Chip, renowned journalist specialized in statistics, did the calculation and the following was determined.
In addition to the immovable Qatar, the first six would not have variants with respect to the first table and all of them already know that they will have the benefit of not crossing with other more powerful rivals at least in the first phase. Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Italy, Argentina they will finish in the top seven all the way before the World Cup, but there is a place to be defined.
There appear four suitors who will fight for that seventh place in the ranking. For now, that location belongs to Spain, which reaps 1688 points, but Portugal, Mexico and Denmark they could easily get over it.
If any of the top seven does not qualify for the World Cup despite being within that privileged place, they will leave their space to the one who follows them in the table ordered by FIFA. Simple and judicious. It does not seem to be the case in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, since all the teams with chances are on their way, but this is football and anything can happen.
