The 2022 World Cup, December 1, 2022

 Match results.

Thursday, December 1

Germany  - 4, Costa Rica - 2 

Japan - 2, Spain -1

Morocco - 2, Canada- 1

Belgium - 0, Croatia - 0

Group A - The Netherlands and Senegal both won so they're both in.

Group B - England and the USA both won so they're both in.

Group C - Argentina won so they're in. No real surprise even with the first match loss. Mexico beat Saudi Arabia but lost out to Poland on goal differential so Poland is in.

Group D - France is in. Australia won so they're in.

Group E - Japan won so they're in. Even though Spain lost they win the goal differential tie breaker over Germany so they are in and Germany is out. I'm sure Brazil feels better that Germany is out after 2014.

Group F - Croatia had a draw with Belgium so they're in. Morocco won so they're in. Belgium is out.

Group G - Brazil is in. Switzerland is in with a win against Serbia. If they draw with Serbia then they're in if Cameroon doesn't beat Brazil. Serbia is in if they beat Switzerland and Cameroon doesn't beat Brazil. Cameroon needs to beat Brazil and then it will depend upon the result in the Switzerland-Serbia game.

Group H - Portugal is in. Ghana is in with a win against Uruguay or if they draw and South Korea doesn't beat Portugal. South Korea can only win via tie breaker if they beat Portugal either with Uruguay if Uruguay beats Ghana or with Ghana if Ghana and Uruguay draw. Uruguay is in if they beat Ghana and South Korea doesn't beat Portugal.
