Memo: 2022 Qatar World Cup Results
It was already two years ago.
The days go by so quickly.
The next World Cup will be held in two years.
I would like to review the results of the 2022 Qatar World Cup here.
By the way, my ranking prediction was way off.
Best 4 results
The results are as follows.
1st place Argentina
2nd place France
3rd place Croatia
4th place Morocco
The FIFA rankings at the time were as follows:
Argentina 3rd place
4th place in France
Croatia 12th place
Morocco 22nd
Argentina, France and Croatia are in understandable positions, but Morocco is making a big leap forward.
Features of the 2022 World Cup
I think the tournament had many things different from previous years.
Month
The event was held from November to December.
It is usually held around June.
This time, the dates have been moved due to June being extremely hot in Qatar.
There are many upsets
There were 12 matches where the difference in FIFA rankings was 10 or more, and the lower ranking won.
The list is as follows.
saudi arabia vs argentina
Australia vs Denmark
Tunisia vs France
Japan vs Germany
Japan vs Spain
morocco vs belgium
Cameroon vs Brazil
Ghana vs South Korea
Korea vs Portugal
Croatia vs Brazil
morocco vs spain
morocco vs portugal
The number of upsets at the World Cup in other years was as follows:
12 times in 2018
8 times in 2014
10 times in 2010
9 times in 2006
9 times in 2002
10 times in 1998
6 times in 1994
It is tied for first place in the past 10 years. As expected, 2022 was a tournament with many upsets.
summary
I think the 2022 World Cup was a fun tournament, with Japan playing well.
In 2026, the event will be held in three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
I’m looking forward to it.
