On the Thursday before Thanksgiving in 2022, the first round of games of the FIFA World Cup will be completed. The competition got underway on Sunday, November 20, with Ecuador posting a 2-0 victory over the nation that was hosting it. On Monday, the United States men’s national team opened their tournament against Wales and ended up drawing the match. On Tuesday, Argentina was stunned by a loss to Saudi Arabia, which was the first upset of the tournament. The competition has never before been held during the winter months before this year. The rosters for each team have been determined, and the top players in the world will now compete in Qatar. The tournament will continue right up until the championship match on December 18th. It has been a long road to get to this point, but after the draw on April 1 and the intercontinental playoffs getting settled in June in Doha, the schedule was finally locked down, and now finally the games can begin.
