World Cup Qatar Predictions: Knockout Stages with St. X Soccer Stars

Ben Howard December 5, 2022
The Qatar World Cup has been a pleasure to watch thus far in the tournament with many fantastic moments being captured. There have been many chaotic games with goals that people dream for. Richardson, the Brazilian forward, with an acrobatic finish in their first game against Serbia. England’s Marcus Rashford had a swift free kick past Wales’ goalkeeper in their final group stage match. Spain, as a team, blew Costa Rica away with seven goals! Saudi Arabia with the upset win over favorites to win the tournament, Argentina. All these matches have truly shown that this World Cup seems like a movie.

Fall is Here
