The FIFA World Cup 2022 has been one hell of a tournament. It has already seen many upsets. The game has seen Saudi Arabia beat Messi’s Argentina. It has also seen Japan beat Germany. For the first time in the history of the tournament, three Asian teams in the form of Australia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea have qualified for the knockout stage. Here is a look at the current position of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Argentina is facing off against the Netherlands, and England will be facing France. Here is an in-depth look:
Argentina VS Netherlands in Quarter-Finals of FIFA World Cup 2022:
The Argentian team has made a strong comeback after facing an initial hiccup in the game against Saudi Arabia. The main players of the team are Mac Allister and Matinez. Both the strikers are causing big problems in the box for the opposition. The team further went on to win both their league games and qualified as table toppers. They beat Poland by 2-0 and Mexico by 2-0. In the round of 16, they beat the mighty Australians by a margin of 2-1.
The Netherlands on the other hand is having a dream tournament. Their key players for the tournament are their captain Virgil Van Dijk and their winger Denzel Dumfries. He is doing a dream job on the right wing. Once he gets past a defender you have to pray that he doesn’t put the ball in. They beat Qatar, Ecuador, and Senegal. Their round-of-16 game was against the USA.
England VS France in the Quarter-Finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022:
The other quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 will see one of the favorites getting knocked out. In the true sense and on paper both these teams equally deserve to go to the semi-finals. England will rely on their young strike force of Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford to get the job done. Both the boys are in top touch. In the back line, Harry Maguire is playing like never before. They drew with the USA, beat Iran, and rampaged Senegal to book a spot in the quarters.
France in Top Form lead by Kylian Mbappe:
France on the other hand was predicted to be kicked out of the league stage by many analysts. But it is always about the big tournaments that France shows their true colors. The defending champions are playing like true champions. Kylian Mbappe is in the form of his life. Joules Kounde is like a solid rock at the back. France has beaten Australia and Denmark in the league stay. They took a surprise loss to Tunisia but came back in the round of 16 to beat Poland 3-1.
