The highs and lows of the 2022 World Cup (2:10)As we approach the end of an enthralling month’s action, we take a look back at the highlights and lowlights of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. (2:10)
DOHA, Qatar — One of the upshots of the 2022 World Cup is how tight so many games were, particularly in the knockout stage.
I don’t mean in terms of result, I mean in the way the games actually unfolded on the pitch. I realize it’s largely subjective, and you might disagree, but you can well argue that only Argentina‘s quarterfinal and semifinal wins over Netherlands and Croatia were one-sided (although the game against the Dutch ended up going to penalties). The round of 16 was a bit different (Brazil, Portugal, France and England all recorded fairly comfortable wins), but the point stands. Most of these games were competitive and most hung in the balance until the very end.
