Portugal (group winner) and South Korea (group runner-up) were the two teams to advance from Group H into the 2022 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 where they will cro s paths with the teams that advance from Group G.The Koreans needed a stoppage-time goal on the final day from Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan to beat Portugal and move into second place. They were level with Uruguay on four points, but the Asian side advanced ahead of La Celeste on the goals scored tiebreaker (4 goals vs. 2 goals for Uruguay).It was a cruel elimination for a squad led by veteran forward Luis Suarez, who was in tears following the match. They managed to win on the final day against Ghana 2-0, but they could've used a few more goals as things shook out.Uruguay were unhappy not to have been given a late penalty for an alleged foul in the Ghana box suffered by Edinson Cavani, and they already had gripes about a penalty kick they feel was gifted to Portugal in the second matchday for a hand ball that according to the Laws of the Game should not have been deemed an infraction Shaq Lawson Jersey .WORLD CUP GROUPS: | | | | | | World Cup Group H final tableTeamPTSGPWLDGFGAGD1. -Q6321064+22.S.Korea-Q431114403. -E431112204. -E3312057-2Q = Qualified to Round of 16E = EliminatedNOTE: South Korea claim goals scored tiebreaker (second tiebreaker) over UruguayGroup Hschedule, resultsDate Match Thu, Nov. 24Thu, Nov. 24Mon, Nov. 28Mon, Nov. 28Fri, Dec. 2Fri, Dec. 2The four teams selected into the group played a round-robin format with each nation facing the other three.

PortugalPortugal, as expected, managed to qualify for Qatar 2022 through the playoff path, defeating North Macedonia to ensure an appearance at the finals for the eighth time. Despite being regular competitors on this stage, though, they have yet to win it.In all likelihood, this will be Cristiano Ronaldos final appearance at the World Cup. All eyes will be on the 37-year-old talisman and he will be the key player in Qatar desperate to add a first team world crown to his already bursting trophy cabinet. Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes will also be pivotal for the Euro 2016 winners.For all their attacking talent, defensively is where Portugal have been most convincing, having conceded just seven times in qualifying.Current FIFA world ranking: Khalil Shakir Jersey No. 9(November, 2022)Regional ranking:7th (UEFA)World Cup titles: World Cup appearances (last): 7 (Ru sia 2018)How qualified: UEFA playoff winners: (2-0 vs. North Macedonia)Coach: Fernando Santos (Portugal) since September, 2014Key players: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United / England), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United / England), Joao Cancelo (Manchester City / England)GhanaGhana will be present in Qatar following a valiant effort in the qualifying rounds, cementing a place in the tournament for the first time since 2014 by beating Nigeria on away goals in the African playoffs. The Black Stars went so close to reaching the semifinals of the World Cup in 2010, losing on penalties to Uruguay in the last eight.Despite not having as many household names in the current squad compared to the 2010 and 2014 editions, players such as Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and young Ajax talent Mohammed Kudus will both be stars to keep an eye on as the tournament gets underway.Grit and determination are two qualities that are instilled into the fabric of this Ghana side, who lost just two of their 10 fixtures in 2021, but a poor Africa Cup of Nations campaign in which they exited at the group stage without a win means there is a point to prove back on the major stage.Current FIFA world ranking: No. 61(November,2022)Regional ranking: 11th (CAF)World Cup titles: World Cup appearances (last): 4 (Brazil 2014)How qualified: CAF Third Round winners: (agg 1-1 vs. Nigeria, Ghana win on away goals)Coach: Otto Addo (Germany) since January 2022 interimKey players: Thomas Partey (Arsenal / England), Mohammed Kudus (Ajax / Netherlands), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace / England)UruguayAlthough Uruguays squad is a talented one, recent times Dion Dawkins Jersey have been inconsistent for La Celeste, who were eliminated at the quarterfinals of the Copa America last year having hoped for much more.Uruguay also got to the last eight at the 2018 World Cup, where eventual winners France edged them out.The South Americans do consistently produce players capable of individual brilliance, and that will be no different in Qatar. Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez and veterans Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez are at opposite ends of their careers, but all are more than able to pose a major threat in front of goal.How to balance them remains the question, along with the fitne s of talismanic defender Diego Godin, whose injury problems ruled him out of the September friendlies.Current FIFA world ranking: No. 14(November, 2022)Regional ranking: 3rd (CONMEBOL)World Cup titles: 2World Cup Buffalo Bills Hats appearances (last): 14 (Ru sia 2018)How qualified: (CONMEBOL third place: 8W-6L-4D)Coach: Diego Alonso (Uruguay) since December, 2021Key players: Darwin Nunez (Liverpool/ England), Luis Suarez (Nacional / Uruguay), Diego Godin (Velez Sarsfield/ Argentina)South KoreaNot since 1982 have South Korea failed to appear at a World Cup and that streak will continue with Paulo Bentos team competing in Qatar.South Korea finished second in a tough third-round qualification group, beaten only in the final fixture with a place at the finals already a sured. Prior to that, Bentos side went on a seven-match winning run, and they will be hoping for similar momentum at the World Cup, where they will be looking to make it out of the group stage for the first time since 2010.Son Heung-min is South Koreas most obvious difference-maker, with the Tottenham forward a prolific goalscorer for club and country. Wolves Hwang Hee-chan is also an important figure for the Tigers of Asia. South Koreas best World Cup performance saw them reach the semifinals on home soil in 2002 can they match that
