How does the 2022 Qatar World Cup work?

 

The World Cup in Qatar will be the last to be played with 32 teams. As of the 2026 World Cup, shared by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the number of participants will jump to 4. Thus, it will be the last time the format with eight groups of four teams will be used. Teams play against each other in a single shift in this first phase.

 

The top two finishers in each bracket survive to the next stage. From then on, in a single elimination game, the finalists will be defined. In the case of equality, the extra time and penalty kicks can be used to describe who advances.

 

Brazil performance

Adenor Leonardo Bachi, Tite, was called on an emergency basis to take over the Brazilian national team in the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifiers. Faced with a scorched earth scenario provoked by Dunga, he promoted tactically and resulted in revolution. However, he ran into Belgium in the quarterfinals. Surprisingly, he got a second chance. Something that hasn't happened since the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, in which Telê Santana led the Canarinho team.

 

In 1982, however, the Brazilian team displayed exuberant football in Spain even without winning. Under Tite's direction, the team never managed to do that, although the results are beyond satisfactory. The team advanced without problems in the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar. They accumulated 45 points (14 wins and three draws). There were six more than Argentina, in second place.

 

In the period between the World Cups, he won the Copa América title in 2019 and was runner-up in 2021. The defeat by the Argentines on July 10 was the last suffered by the Canarinho team. Since then, he has established an undefeated sequence that reached 15 clashes with the victory, by 5 to 1, in the friendly against Tunisia, in September, the last one before the World Cup. There were 12 triumphs and three equalities.

 

 

Serbia performance

Serbia chose to play the last friendly on the eve of the World Cup in Qatar. On Friday, November 18, they thrashed Bahrain by 5-1. It showed the aggressive and daring team that overcame Portugal in the European Qualifiers for the World Cup. In group A, the Serbs entered as a second force. However, in the final round, they overcame, on opponent soil, the Lusitanians, who only needed a draw to take the first place in the group, by 2-1, on the comeback.

 

This allowed the Serbian team to reach a direct place in the Qatar Cup, while the Portuguese had to overcome the repechage to reach the World Cup. The Serbs, however, did not stop there. In the sequence, even after a stumble in the debut against Norway, they conquered first place in the 4 of the League B of the League of Nations.

 

By reaching 13 points (four wins, one draw, and one defeat) in the 2022/2023 version of the dispute, they guaranteed the right to participate in the elite division of the next edition of the UEFA Nations League. However, they arrive at the World Cup worried about two of their strikers. Dusan Vlahovic, the main one, presented with pubalgia.Dusan Vlahovic. However, he managed to play against Bahrain. He played for 45 minutes, scored a goal, provided two assists, and should be listed as a starter for the duel with Brazil. Aleksandar Mitrovic, however, is still recovering from an ankle injury and remains doubtful.
