2022 World Cup has been special

Despite plenty of controversy surrounding the tournament, the 2022 World Cup has been a fantastic footballing spectacle.

We have seen Germany and Belgium both crash out at the Group Stage, Morocco make footballing history by becoming the first African side to reach a World Cup semi-final, and Croatia reach a second successive World Cup semi-final of their own.

There have also been some major upsets, as Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina, Japan beat Germany, and Morocco knocked out both Spain as well as Portugal.

Remarkably, Walid Regragui – manager of Morocco – was only appointed months before the tournament began, but he has already written his name into football folklore.

South Korea’s 2-1 win over Portugal should also not be forgotten.

Whatever happens on Sunday, the 2022 World Cup has been one to remember.
