Injury-related news” added coach Dalic.

Belgium and Croatia draw in Group F Football World Cup 2022

Teams get 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. The top two teams with the most points at the end of the three matches advance to the knockout rounds.

Now that we have the game schedule, let’s look at the teams that make up Group F.

The last breather of Belgium’s golden generation

At the start of the 2018 World Cup, Belgium is third in the FIFA world ranking. The team reached the knockout stages in England, Tunisia and Panama before beating Japan and Brazil to reach the semifinals. However, they lost to eventual champions France.

With the team now in second place, the 2022 World Cup could be the last breather for Belgium’s golden generation of players who have played two or three World Cups.

The squad is still full of stars, such as last tournament’s Golden Glove winners Thibaut (Real Madrid), Eden Hazard (Real Madrid), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), and Romelu Lukaku (Inter), among many other famous names.

This team really has a shot at winning everything, and if they don’t, it could be a while before they get that chance again.

Canada tries to build on CONCACAF’s great achievements

The Maple Leafs didn’t compete in another World Championship until 1986 but will play in the 2022 and 2026 World Cups as one of the North American hosts.

Canada is ahead of Mexico and the United States in this year’s World Cup qualifiers to top the CONCACAF standings.

Canada brings a heavy lineup of MLS players, including Maxime Crepeau (LAFC), Lucas Cavallini (Vancouver Whitecaps) and Dayne St. Clair (Minnesota United), as well as several CF Montreal players. Bayern Munich fullback Alphonso Davies is the most famous player in the squad.

Croatia, which reached the final in the 2018 world cup and lost 1-0 to France

They are a fantastic team that has done more than the sum of their parts under 47-year-old British manager John Herdman. He helped lead the Canadian women’s team to international fame before taking over the men’s team in 2018.

Croatia wants to shake off the hangover from the 2018 World Cup final

Croatia, which reached the final in 2018 and lost 1-0 to France, may have reached the top with their golden generation. The team was out of Euro 2020 but suffered a 5-3 defeat to Spain in the round of 16.

Now that the players who led the team in 2018 are older, the next generation of Croats doesn’t seem ready to step up. Nevertheless, the team still has Luka Modric (Real Madrid, 37), Dejan Lovern (Zenit Saint Petersburg, 33), Mateo Kovacic (Chelsea, 28), and Ivan Perisic (Tottenham Hotspur, 33).

If the above players can find the fountain of youth in Qatar and use their talents, Croatia can have another success. It’s just that age seems to be catching up with many of these players and still play many minutes for their club team, eight games a month can be hard to come by.

Predictions FIFA World Cup 2022 Group F: Belgium and Croatia Advance

Belgium is the best team in Group F and should therefore qualify. Then it gets interesting. Croatia is a team that is coming to an end and after reaching the final in 2018 you wonder how much is left of the team.

Canada is a growing team and has performed so well in qualifying that it wouldn’t be ridiculous to pick them for second here. However, the experience usually wins in games like this, so I would begrudgingly include Croatia as the second team in Group F.

The final standings for Group D are:

1. Belgium

2. Croatia

3. Canada

4. Morocco

There are predictions for Group F. Now let’s see what happens when the two teams face each other in Qatar.
