With host team Qatar officially out of the World Cup, the three Arab teams in the 2022 World Cup have different chances of advancing to the next round.
After the Saudi Greens’ historic victory over Argentina, Al-Akhdar floundered with a 2-0 second-round loss to Poland, so qualifying for the second round hinged on an inevitable win over Mexico to advance to the second round. for the second time in its history since the 1994 World Cup.
Poland leads Group C with four points, followed by Argentina with three points, tied with Saudi Arabia by a goal difference to Argentina, while Mexico is fourth with one point.
A win against Mexico would be enough for Saudi Arabia to qualify, with Al Akhdar having a chance to draw if Argentina loses to Poland. As for losing to Mexico, that means Saudi Arabia will be out of the tournament.
Yesterday, Morocco took a historic victory over Belgium in Group F to take a step up in the final price and rekindle Arab hopes of being able to achieve an unprecedented achievement that could allow more than one team from the region to qualify. for the second round of the same World Cup.
The victory of the Moroccan team is considered the second for the Arabs at the World Cup in Qatar, after the great achievement of the Saudi Greens, who beat Argentina, which increased the chances of the Arabs to achieve unprecedented results in the World Cup.
Morocco is tied for first place in the group with Croatia, which stands out on goal difference, while Belgium is third with three points and Canada is last without points.
Morocco goes to its last meeting with three hypotheses that can give it a qualifying card: a victory, a draw and even a defeat if the Croatia-Belgium match ends in its favor.
Morocco will only need a win or a draw to qualify without waiting for the result of the second leg. If they lose, they must wait for Croatia to win or a draw against Belgium without being more than three goals down. with Canada.
In the World Cup, goal difference is calculated to select the qualifying team, not the winning team in head-to-head matches in the event of a tie.
The Tunisian team failed to capitalize on their motivational draw with Denmark only to fall into the trap of losing to the Australian team, making it very difficult for Tunisia to qualify for the World Cup final price.
Tunisia exits Group D in last place along with Denmark with one point, while France lead to guarantee qualification, followed by Australia with three points.
Mathematically, Tunisia’s qualification is still a possibility as they have to beat France while waiting for Australia to draw with Denmark, or Denmark wins by less goal difference than the Eagles win over France.
It is noteworthy that the Qatar team was the first to leave the World Cup, having received two defeats from Ecuador and Senegal.
