The 2022 World Cup has entered the third round of matches, with only France and Brazil having secured tickets to the round of 16 after two matches.

Group A: Netherlands and Ecuador both have 4 points before the final match, while Senegal has only 3 points. Therefore, to get a ticket to the next round, Senegal must aim for a victory against Ecuador, but it is too difficult for the African team to face the South American team. The South American team is showing good defensive ability, after 2 matches at this year's World Cup, they have only conceded 1 goal. Furthermore, in the previous 8 matches in all competitions, Ecuador kept a clean sheet 7 times. Meanwhile, all 8 of Ecuador's matches had no more than 2 goals, 6 matches ended with only a maximum of 1 goal scored. The match is tight and Ecuador will be the one to take the initiative, they will send Senegal home.

Netherlands vs Qatar, 10pm November 29

The top spot in Group A will hardly escape the “Orange Storm” and of course Qatar will be the “goal bank” for the European team. To ensure the top spot after the group stage ends, avoiding the “big guys” the Netherlands need to beat Qatar as much as possible. The top spot in Group A will help the Netherlands avoid the top spot in Group B, which will most likely be England, in the round of 16.

For the home team, the budget of more than 200 billion USD is prepared.World Cup 2022It is as good as a wedding of the Qatari bosses, so being able to participate in the world football festival is a great joy. Losing to a strong team like the Netherlands, there is nothing to feel guilty about, but they will be the second World Cup host team after South Africa not to get past the group stage.

Iran vs USA, 2am November 30

After Iran suffered a crushing 2-6 defeat to England in their opening match at the 2022 World Cup, they surprisingly recovered to beat Wales 2-0. Before the final match, Iran has many opportunities to win the second ticket to the round of 16 when they only have to meet the US. At the 1998 World Cup, Iran defeated the US 2-1, so people hope that in their 6th World Cup participation, this Asian team will go deeper than 5 times and pack their bags and go home early. Iran has participated in the World Cup finals 5 times and they have all stopped early in the group stage, this is a better opportunity than ever.

Of course, for the US, if they want to qualify, they must defeat Iran at all costs. But the problem for the US is their ability to finish. In the match against England, they had 10 shots but only hit the target once and failed to score a goal. In football, if you don't score, you can only draw, and the Americans will know that.

Welwyn Garden City vs England, 2am November 30

A 1-1 draw with the US but then a 2-0 defeat to Iran put Wales in a 'corner'. According to calculations, Wales must beat England by 4 goals or more to be sure of qualifying for the knockout stage. If they beat the Three Lions by 3 goals or less, Wales will still have to wait for the result of the match between Iran and the US, which will take place at the same time.

But frankly speaking, Wales defeating England is unthinkable based on the team's performance against the US and especially Iran. Even if they keep attacking, it will create opportunities for England's speedy players to score. Bellingham; Saka, Mount, Foden; Kane are all "children of the Wind God" who are good at counter-attacking. In this "fratricidal" situation, Wales will hardly be able to win against England because the level of coach, players, form, and mentality are all several levels lower./.
