Jakarta, CNNIIndonesia —
Several teams failed to qualify for the Round of 16 World Cup 2022. Here are the eliminated teams.
Host country Qatar have swallowed the harsh reality of being the first team to be knocked out of the World Cup. Qatar suffered the first two matches with defeat at hand.
After losing 0-2 to Ecuador, Qatar lost again to Senegal 1-3. Provided the Netherlands and Ecuador already have four points by then, Qatar is certain to be eliminated before the start of the third match.
Canada then became the second team to be eliminated from the 2022 World Cup. Canada lost 1-4 to Croatia in the second game on Sunday (27/11).
Canada had scored the opening goal through Alphonso Davies as the match entered the second minute. But the early goal was not enough for Canada to surprise Croatia.
Croatia actually managed to score four goals in the return thanks to Andrej Kramaric (two goals), Marko Livaja and Lovro Majer.
Before losing to Croatia, Canada also lost 0-1 to Belgium in their first game. Thus, Canada did not earn any points from the two games it played.
In Tuesday’s match (29/11), Ecuador became the next team to be eliminated from the 2022 World Cup. Ecuador lost to Senegal 1-2, so they had to occupy third place in Group A.

From Group B, Iran and Wales are the two teams that have to carry their luggage. Iran lost 0-1 to the United States in the deciding game while Wales lost 0-3 to England while forcing them to accept the last position.
Meanwhile, in Group D, Denmark were surprisingly eliminated early after losing 0-1 to Australia on matchday three. These results see Denmark finish as an interim group under third-placed Tunisia.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, who had been in the spotlight due to beating Argentina in their opening Group C fixture, were sent off. Saudi Arabia eventually finished bottom of the group or level with Mexico, who also had to come back from Qatar quicker.
Belgium, Costa Rica and Germany complete the number of countries that failed to qualify for the round of 16 on Thursday (1/12) local time.
Belgium are certain to pack their bags early after failing to draw 0-0 against Croatia on Matchday 3 of Group F. The result saw Belgium finish in third place with four points.
While the top of Group F belongs to Morocco, which has seven points. Meanwhile, Croatia secured second place with a collection of five points.
In Group E, Germany had to come in early as they finished in third place with last-placed Costa Rica. The top of the ranking is led by Japan and the second belongs to Spain.
