World Cup Group F teams
Belgium
Belgium can no longer claim to be the No.1 ranked team in the world, having been recently replaced at the top of the FIFA standings by Brazil, but they can still call upon some key members of their golden generation and will be expected to go far in Qatar.
However, coach Roberto Martinez must hope that this will finally be the occasion when the Red Devils live up to the pre-tournament expectation and can finally lift some silverware. With players of the standard of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Inter's Romelu Lukaku, they could take some stopping.
Belgium went out in the quarterfinals at Euro 2020 and were beaten in the semis at the 2018 World Cup. They have a good chance of going far again on this occasion, but they will have to show greater composure in difficult moments.
- Current FIFA world ranking: No. 2 (November, 2022)
- Regional ranking: 1st (UEFA)
- World Cup titles: — (0)
- World Cup appearances (last): 13 (Russia 2018)

- Coach: Roberto Martinez (Spain) since August, 2016
- Key players: Kevin De Bryune (Manchester City / England), Romelu Lukaku (Inter / Italy), Eden Hazard (Real Madrid / Spain)
Croatia
Croatia surprised many people by reaching the final of the 2018 World Cup, where they lost to France, but they didn’t fare quite so well at Euro 2020, as they were eliminated at the Round of 16 stage.
Despite his advancing years, Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric remains a superb player and the talisman. The 37-year-old will be determined to impress at what is likely to be his final World Cup.
Croatia stormed through qualifying and lost just once — the opening fixture in Slovenia — but despite being hopeful of getting out of the group stage, it is difficult to envisage Zlatko Dalic’s side having another lengthy run in the competition.

Morocco
Morocco are regarded as one of the strongest teams on the African continent and will boast plenty of star power at Qatar 2022, competing at the finals for the sixth time.
Much will rest on the shoulders of Paris Saint-Germain full-back Achraf Hakimi, but he will be ably supported by the likes of Sofaine Boufal — who has Premier League experience, having formerly played with Southampton — and offers their most potent goal threat.
Morocco progressed to the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year before being knocked out by eventual finalists Egypt and could be a potential surprise challenger to make it into the latter stages.
- Current FIFA world ranking: No. 22 (November, 2022)
- Regional ranking: 2nd (CAF)
- World Cup titles: —
- World Cup appearances (last): 5 (Russia 2018)

Canada
Canada will be participating in the World Cup for the first time in 36 years following an impressive qualification campaign that led all the way to the winners’ spot in the CONCACAF standings.
There were emotional scenes from both players and fans as they closed out the spot in Qatar by beating Jamaica 4-0 in Toronto, in late March, with talisman Alphonso Davies breaking down in tears live on his Twitch stream as he watched his teammates complete the job.
Davies’ absence for that match was due to him suffering with myocarditis — inflammation of the heart — after catching COVID-19, and Canada will need the Bayern Munich winger firing on all cylinders to have hopes of advancing. Coach John Herdman will be out to make his own piece of history, as he becomes the first person to lead a team at both the women’s and men’s World Cup.
- Current FIFA world ranking: No. 41 (November, 2022)
- Regional ranking: 4th (CONCACAF)
