2022 Qatar World Cup Preview with Adam Peacock: Games to Watch

A week down in the World Cup and the there’s been a serious shift in our power rankings - with monster upsets triggering a major shake-up of the ladder.

Qatar’s dream is already over, but Costa Rica have still managed to put in the most miserable performance of the tournament.

Japan and Saudi Arabia pulled off the most incredible upsets to rocket up the rankings, but it will take more than just one loss for Argentina and Germany to fall out of the top 10.
