Are there any teams seeking their first World Cup title?
One thing that this World Cup has shown so far is that there is room for surprises in the tournament. Qatar 2022 witnessed some historic performances, such as Japan playing a role in the early exit of Germany in the groups. Spain being eliminated in the round of 16 was also a highlight of an upset win.
There are only four countries that have already won this competition out of the eight that are still in contention. Brazil, Argentina, England, and France are those lucky ones. That means the remaining squads are after an unprecedented feat.
Portugal, the Netherlands, Croatia, and Morocco are seeking their first World Cup title. The quarterfinals will have two of them facing each other given the Portuguese will play against the Moroccans, so there will be at least one semifinalist going for that achievement. But the challenge continues getting to higher levels in this part of the draw.
