today we’re counting down our picks for the top five nations that failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™
Sweden.
For this list, we’re looking at some of the biggest teams around the globe that won’t be appearing at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Who do you think will win the big trophy in Cotter? Let us know below.
Number five, Nigeria.
After making it into the tournament for the first time in 1994, Nigeria has been one of Africa’s biggest powerhouses on the iconic stage.
Beyond missing out on the tournament in 2006, hopes were high for the 2022 edition, especially with the squad featuring Che Ian, nacho Wilford, and Didi and Alex. It will be, but that all fell apart in the third round of calf qualification when they were drawn against Ghana. The first leg ended in a n nail draw, leaving everything up for grabs in the second leg. But with Ghana’s Thomas party opening the scoring, Nigeria responded with a penalty from Captain William Trus.

and the match finished, won all putting Ghana through on away goals
Number four, Chile. Fun fact. Chile appeared in the first ever World Cup in 1930. They also hosted it in 1962 and finished in third place. But since then, Chile’s entrance into the World Cup has been spotty yet with a team featuring legendary players like Arturo Vial and Alexis Sanchez. Plus fresh faces like Ben Bratton Diaz. It seemed like the squad would find their way onto the plane to Qatar, especially as they were ranked 17th in the FIFA world. Rankings, but inconsistent performances in qualification ruined hopes. The team suffered surprise losses to Venezuela and Ecuador. On top of that, Chile also failed to beat a lowly ranked Bolivia team.
Number three, Sweden in World Cup history. Sweden has finished in third twice, and were runners up in 1958 and after being a hit at the 2018 tournament, it seemed like the Scandinavian squad would be there in 2022, but the pressure was on as this would likely be the last time the iconic Latin ibrahimovic would appear at the World Cup. Sweden comfortably advanced to the next round of qualification after beating the Czech Republic, but against a tricky Poland team. In the final goals from Robert Levinsky and pto, Zinsky sunk the Scandinavians forcing them to change their end of year plans.

Number two, Columbia. After making the quarter finals in 2014 and the knockout stages in 2018, the South American side was ready to take things to the next level. The 2022 World Cup with stars like Ra, mal Fow Rodriguez and Juan Quadra. This Columbia team seemed like they had all the potential to make an impression.
Instead, they struggled with Conal qualification. They struggled to finish slides off and had to settle for way too many draws. They even got hammered by Ecuador six one, but there was still a chance for the team to squeeze through On the final day of fixtures, Columbia had to do better than Peru to advance while they beat Venezuela. Peru won against Paraguay, meaning Columbia was out by a single point. Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions. Egypt, a Mohammed Salala team lost to Senegal on penalties during qualification.
Russia. The 2018 hosts were banned from the 2022 tournament due to their government’s political actions.
FIFA had previously imposed several sanctions on the Russian national team, but not banned the side entirely. That triggered a fierce backlash from several nations who had already said that they would not take the pitch against Russia,
Norway
Even a squad featuring I Holland wasn’t enough for them to advance from their group.
Number one, Italy having failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, Italy was in a rebuilding stage and things were looking up. After all, they are a four time World Cup winner. They should be at the tournament, but then in a group they should have won. At least on paper. The European Nation came second and they were probably rubbing their hands in glee when they saw they had North Macedonia in the playoff semifinal. After all, Italy was a team filled with talents like Jen Wei,and Leonardo Bucci. On top of that, before this battle, Italy was ranked sixth in the world while North Macedonia was 67th.
Now the European champions for the Second World Cup running and Third World Cup our qatar later On this year. Instead, the nation shockingly lost to an Alexander Trajkovski goal.
