Football lovers can't wait to watch the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The biggest football party in the world is only 40 days away from starting.

The 2022 World Cup will start from November 20 to December 18 in Qatar. The draw for the 2022 World Cup group stage has been held.

The draw for the 2022 World Cup was held last Friday (1/4) in Doha, Qatar. It also coincides with the 72nd FIFA Congress.

Many surprises from the results of the 2022 World Cup group draw. Especially the revenge party.

What are the revenge games in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers? The following is a review compiled by Footemxtra.com:

1. Argentina Vs Mexico

This match can be considered a classic World Cup match. The two often meet in the group stage or the knockout stages of the World Cup. This time, the two met in Group C of the 2022 World Cup.

The two teams have met a total of 35 matches. Argentina is ahead with 16 wins and 14 draws. Mexico won the rest.

In total, the two teams have met 3 times in the World Cup. Finally, Argentina beat Mexico 3-1 in the last 16 of the 2010 World Cup.

Most often, the two teams meet in Copa America. At that time, Mexico was still frequently invited to the prestigious tournament in South America.

2. Spain vs Germany

Spain Vs Germany in the 2010 World Cup (Special)

This is the most exciting match for the guys in Group E of the 2022 World Cup. This match is also a repeat of the 2010 World Cup semifinals.

At that time, Spain beat Germany 1-0 through Carles Puyol's goal. At the same time led Spain to the final until the champion after beating the Netherlands 1-0.

Not only in the World Cup, the two teams often meet in the European Cup. The last meeting was in the 2008 European Cup final when Spain won 1-0 over Germany thanks to a Fernando Torres goal.

The two teams have met 25 times. Germany is ahead with 9 wins and 8 draws. The other 8 matches were won by La Furia Roja.

3. Ghana Vs Uruguay

This Group H match is full of revenge. Ghana was eliminated by Uruguay very painfully in the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals.

At that time, Ghana took the lead through Sulley Muntari (45'). Uruguay equalized through captain Diego Forlan (55').

The 1-1 score lasted until extra time. At the end of the match, Ghana got a golden opportunity through a header from its players.

The ball, which was predicted to be 99 percent of the way into the goal, was punched by Luis Suarez. The Uruguay striker also got a red card. The game had to go to a penalty shootout.

Unfortunately, Ghana lost on penalties 4-2. Had Suarez not punched the ball by playing dirty, Ghana would have become the first African team to qualify for the World Cup semifinals.
