The FIFA World Cup is the biggest and most watched sporting event in the world. There are 32 nations in the world that participate in the World Cup and fans from all over the world tune in to watch it. With increased social media and streaming people can watch the World Cup instantly from wherever they are. The first ever World Cup took place on July 13, 1930 and has continued ever since. Statistically, the FIFA World Cup has increased its fans drastically every year. This year many people were projecting Brazil, England, or France to win the entire cup because of how experienced and talented their teams are.
After the first round concluded, only 16 teams remained. The first round was no surprise to many as France, Brazil, and England were still very much in the World Cup. Teams such as Australia, USA, and Spain were shockingly eliminated because most soccer fans expected those teams to last another round. These three teams had shown great promise in the first round but just couldn’t compete going into the second round of games. The quarterfinal was a surprising round for everyone, fans and players alike. After a hard fought battle for all the teams, Argentina advanced after knocking the Netherlands out of the competition. Croatia knocked out a very talented Brazil team. Morocco defeated Portugal. France advanced as they took down England, who were also one of the teams projected to win it all. While entering the World Cup Semi-Finals, only 4 teams remained. The teams included, Argentina playing Croatia and France playing Morocco. While many people predicted, France defeated Morocco with a score of 2-0. Argentina went on to knock Croatia out of the semi-finals with a score of 3-0.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Tournament will be one to remember. On December 18th, Argentina will be playing France in the final match. France being in the finals is no surprise as many soccer fans predicted them as one of the teams to win because they have Kylian Mbappe, but many people are wondering if Argentina will be able to beat them with Lionel Messi, the greatest soccer player, and win it all. The third place game between Croatia and France will take place on December 17th. Both of these games will be interesting to watch as all the teams put blood, sweat, and tears into taking home the World Cup.
