The draw for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar was conducted on Friday, with few interesting matches on the way when the tournament kicks off on November 21.
Spain vs Germany easily stands out as the biggest match of the group stage with two nations set to lock horns on November 27. Japan and the winner of the play off between Costa Rica and New Zealand will join the two heavyweights in Group E.
Elsewhere France will begin the defence of their crown against one of UAE/Peru/Australia as they compete in play off. Denmark will pose a challenge to Les Blues of France in a group also containing Tunisia.

England could face of against either Wales or Scotland in a mouth watering prospect provided Scotland overcome their delayed play off against war torn Ukraine with the winner set to face Wales.
In a story 12 years in the making African side Ghana will square off against Uruguay who infamously denied them a place in semi finals of the 2010 World Cup when Luis Suarez blatantly handled a goal bound shot and then Asamoah Gyan missing the subsequent penalty only to see his nation lose on penalties to the South American country.
This fixture will have an added spice and bite to it when it takes place on December 2.
This World Cup will also offer probably the last chance for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the coveted world prize as the two greatest players of this generation will be looking to lead their nations to World Cup glory.
