Chapter 897

Everyone is looking forward to the World Cup starting as soon as possible. The first thing that ignited the enthusiasm of the fans was the group stage.

The 32 strong teams in the World Cup are divided into groups, with four teams in each group, and the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage.

Group formation is very important, as it will affect whether your team can have a relatively good qualifying form.

If three strong teams are drawn into the same group, it means that one of the strong teams will be eliminated early in the group stage. No team hopes that they cannot make it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. After all, if they can make it to the knockout stage of the World Cup, the team will definitely be supported by more fans.

After Hierro announced the Spanish national team's roster, all Spanish players arrived at the headquarters on time to report.

Lin Chen was the last one to arrive, not because he was being a big shot, but because Liverpool was holding a celebration for winning five championships.

Therefore, Lin Chen first participated in the celebration, and then went to the headquarters to report with Rodri.

On the plane to the headquarters, the grouping of the World Cup group stage had just begun. There were eight groups in total, and teams from all continents of the world would be divided into different groups. Lin Chen lay on the comfortable sofa and watched the grouping of the group stage.

Qatar was first placed in Group A, followed by Wales in Group B, Saudi Arabia in Group C and Denmark in Group D.

Costa Rica entered Group E, Canada entered Group F, Serbia joined Group G, and Ghana entered Group H, but then with Uruguay also entering Group H, the strength of Group H was obviously stronger than other groups because both Uruguay and Ghana were very strong.

Tunisia entered Group D, Mexico was placed in Group C, and Iran and Wales were in Group B.

Ecuador joined Group A, followed by Germany in Group E.

Lin Chen looked at the current teams in Group E. Costa Rica was relatively weak compared to the other teams, and Germany’s performance in recent world championships was not that good.

Although the German team has a strong lineup, it lacks a center, and the German head coach seems to have not found a tactic to properly utilize these German stars.

After that are the second tier of strong teams that are more popular among fans. These teams are all capable of reaching the knockout stage and are relatively strong both in tactical ability and on paper.

Lin Chen and Rodri don't want to play against the second-tier teams because these teams have the strength and confidence to challenge strong teams.

Australia was first placed in Group D, which also means that there is no very strong team in Group D so far.

"Lin, if we can join Group D, wouldn't it be a safe bet for us to qualify?"

Rodri has already started thinking about joining Group D. After all, the three teams in Group D are not very strong. Obviously, if Spain joins Group D, the situation of qualifying for the group will be clearer!

Then Poland joined Group C. Rodri believed that the strength of Group C was not too strong. So far, in addition to Poland, there were also Mexico and Saudi Arabia.

The British team joined Group B, while Senegal joined Group A, Croatia joined Group F, Switzerland joined Group G, and South Korea joined Group H!

The strength of the three teams in Group H is relatively close and balanced. The overall strength of South Korea, Ghana and Uruguay is quite good.

Then the top tier teams began to join the groups to form the final group.
