World Cup 2022 bets & odds
France are the defending champions after lifting the trophy in Russia four years ago. However, this year Brazil comes in as not only the number 1 ranked team in FIFA but also the bookies’ favorite to hoist the golden trophy for a record 6th time when the dust finally settles.
As we saw with Croatia’s epic run to the final, there is always a chance that an underdog (dark horse) can emerge and cause a few upsets along the way.

World Cup 2022 Tournament Rules
- (Group Stage) Three points will be awarded for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss
- From each group, the top two teams will advance while the remaining two are eliminated
- In the event of a tie, the order of priority for tiebreakers is as follows: points, goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head
- (Knockout stages) If the game is tied at the end of 90 minutes, extra time will be played (30 minutes)
- If still, we do not have a winner, the game will be decided in a penalty shootout
- Just like the last tournament, a fourth substitution will be permitted in extra time
- There will be a third-place play-off game on December 17
World Cup 2022 Qualification
Qatar as the host nation are given automatic qualification for the 2022 World Cup. As for the other remaining teams, based on the quality and the number of members in each federation, FIFA has assigned a specific number of qualifying slots for each continent as follows to make up for the remaining 31 participating countries:
Europe: 13
Africa: 5
South America: 4 or 5
Asia: 4 or 5
North, Central America and Caribbean: 3 or 4
Oceania: 0 or 1
In the case where two potential numbers are provided, teams from those federations are involved in playoff tournaments to determine the final qualifiers.
The continental football bodies like UEFA, CONCACAF, CAF etc have the autonomy to determine their respective qualification tournaments to choose their representatives. Usually, teams play a series of round-robin fixtures to determine the qualifiers or as is the case in Europe, group games and a series of play-offs for teams finishing 2nd in the groups.

More info about the Football World Cup
The World Cup is the biggest and most popular global sports event. It is estimated that the 2018 World Cup reached a global audience of three billion viewers with the finals alone attracting one billion viewers. No other sports event comes remotely close to this, including the Olympics.
Only eight nations have won the world cup title. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, with five titles followed by Italy and Germany who both have four. The other former winners are Uruguay (who won the inaugural tournament), Argentina, and France with two titles each, and England and Spain with one title each.
History
The first official World Cup was played in Uruguay in 1930. Since that time, the tournament has been held every fourth year (except in 1942 and 1946 due to the Second World War). Previously football had been incorporated as part of the Summer Olympics. At the time, football was becoming a properly organized professional sport and there were suggestions to organize a proper tournament for it devoid of the amateur nature of the Olympics.
Subsequently, two Frenchmen, Jules Rimet and Henri Delaunay, came up with the proposal for the World Cup to be held every 4 years. That golden World Cup trophy was actually named in honor of Jules Rimet!
The playing mode
The 2022 World Cup tournament will stick with the traditions of past editions with the 32 teams put into 8 groups (A to H) for round-robin matches. They will then be narrowed down to 16 teams, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the round of 16.
The 16 group-stage qualifiers will play a knockout competition with the winners proceeding to the quarter-finals and the losers packing up and heading home.
The 8 quarterfinalists will again face off in another knockout round with the four winners proceeding to the semifinals and finally the finals. The two losing semi-finalists will square off in the 3rd place playoffs will precede the finals.
Please note that there has to be a winner in every knockout round match. If we do not have a winner at the end of normal regulation time (i.e 90 minutes plus injury time), then extra time (30 minutes) and if necessary, post-match penalties, will be used to determine the winner.
