The 2022 FIFA World Cup group stage began on Nov. 20 and it will wrap up before this week ends, with knockout stage play set for Saturday with the United States and the Netherlands. It’s the first winter edition in the history of the competition. Every team has finalized their squads and the best players in the world, now take center stage in Qatar with action running through the final on Dec. 18. It’s been a long road to get to this point but after the draw on April 1 and the intercontinental playoffs getting decided in June in Doha, the schedule was locked in, and now finally the games can commence.
