2022 FIFA World Cup Group Stage Predictions
Uruguay
The Uruguayan national football team had a bit of a scare during the qualification series of the FIFA 2022 World Cup, which was slated in Qatar. This led to the axing of the longest-serving coach of a particular team in the world, Tabarez Oscar. A new coach is at the helms of affairs, the La Celeste side, the first ever winners of the World Cup from inception, had to dig it out through the remainder of South America's 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup Qualification campaign, which was demonstrated in the hard-earned victory over Peruvian national team.

Ghana
The Ghana male senior football team is in for Qatar 2022, emerging winners of the third round, courtesy of an away goal advantage, against the super eagles of Nigeria.

The team possesses the ability to cause havoc in the Group. They have a handful of experienced European club footballers like Thomas Partey, Salisu, the Ayew brothers, and Thomas Amartey who can help push the performance level of the Black Stars whilst in Qatar.

Portugal
The Os Navegadores are current stalwarts of all of Europe, and they are in the clear as top-seeded favorites to come out from this group. Captained by the GOAT Ronaldo, which may seem to be his last FIFA World Cup outing. The Portugal national team suffered a shocking defeat to the Serbian national team, which saw them depend on the playoffs if they wanted to advance to the 2022 World Cup.
