FIFA Qatar Group A includes Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands. In recent years, the Netherlands has had a few uprising football supernovas, such as world-class football superstars such as Matthijs de Ligt, Memphis Depay, and Frenkie de Jong.
The Netherlands may advance into the Semi-Quarter-Final as first place in Group A, and the other team that should advance as second place in the group A might be the Senegal National Football Team led by Sadio Mané.
Although Qatar is the host country and has the home court advantage, yet the possibility of advancing is still relatively low. Although South America is a place where football is popular, Ecuador is not a football superpower country, but there is still a chance to advance if they play against the Senegal National Football Team.
Chance of Advance: ★★★★
As a veteran World Cup team, the Netherlands National Football Team has participated in a total of 18 World Cups. However, it is a pity that they’ve never won a championship, but have won the runner-up three times.
The Netherlands National Football Team is currently ranked 8th in the FIFA Rankings, Netherlands still has a big chance to compete for the Golden Trophy.
Netherlands National Football Team Captain; Virgil van Dijk; professional footballer who plays as a Centre-back for Premier League club Liverpool F.C. For last season, Virgil van Dijk delivered a 90% pass success rate, letting him finish with 3 goals and an assist. Hoping his leadership will lead the Netherlands National Football Team into the Semi-Quarter-Final.
Chance of Advance: ★★★
This 2022 World Cup will be the 3rd time for the Senegal National Football Team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Senegal National Football Team’s first World Cup debut was in the 2002 World Cup hosted by Korea & Japan.
Despite the South Korean National Football Team making it into the semi-finals of that year, another shocking event is the Senegal National Football Team defeating the French National Football Team. Next, they were eliminated during finals against the Sweden National Football Team on 2002/1/8.
Senegal may be the underdog, but their winning odds aren’t low.
Star players for Senegal National Football Team:
Chance of Advance: ★
The Qatar National Football Team is the third-worst country among all participating countries in this year’s World Cup. The 2022 World Cup is also the first time for the Qatar National Football Team to participate in the World Cup.
Back in 2019, the Qatar National Football Team once defeated Japan, a strong team at the time. They won by the score of 3-1 during the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualification – AFC (Asian Qualifiers) final. Ali Hassan Afif; who received the 2019 FIFA Asian Player of the Year, currently plays as a Centre Forward (CF) for Al-Duhail.
Although Qatar might have home court advantage, winning odds are low.
Chance of Advance: ★★
This will be the 4th time that Ecuador National Football Team participated in the World Cup. Ecuador’s best World Cup record was back in 2006 in Germany, but they only advanced into the Semi-Quarter-Final.
Among all the participating countries in this World Cup, Ecuador is also ranked the few last, and Ecuador & Qatar National Team will be facing the same destiny.
However, compared to Ecuador, Qatar at least holds the home court advantage, Ecuador on the other side has no advantage, but their Ecuador people will be rooting for them on the other side of the world.
