AS the knockout stages of the 2022 Qatar World Cup approach, many countries will be heading home as the top two teams of each group will advance to the round of 16.

The Vibes Sports sits down for another episode of Football Vibes, and this time we dive into the upcoming matches tonight.

The competition already saw several upsets including Germany’s defeat to Japan, Argentina’s loss to Saudi Arabia, and even Ghana toppling South Korea.

Japan take on Spain and Germany face Costa Rica in Group E’s final match.

Can Germany make it to the Round of 16, or will Costa Rica win and kick the 2014 World Champions out of the tournament for a second consecutive time? In 2018, Germany went out after losing to South Korea in their final group match.

Can Japan repeat their giant slaying magic against the Spaniards?

While Group E could see some nail-biting finales, the same can be expected in Group F as Belgium have their crunch match against Croatia, while bottom-place Canada take on Morocco.

Join us as we discuss which team we think will make it to the Round of 16 and which will be heading home.

And a happy reminder that we are not professional pundits or even wannabe pundits – we just love to talk about the game. – The Vibes, December 1, 2022
