Group H World Cup 2022 will feature Ghana, Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea. The top two teams of this group advance to the round of 16. The bottom two teams are eliminated from the group stage.
South Korea
Despite being drawn in Group H World Cup 2022 in Qatar, South Korea will hope to qualify for the knockout stage. The Tigers of Asia are expected to face Portugal in their final group match on Friday, December 2.
The South Koreans started off well, scoring a brace from Cho Gue-sung. However, the result was marred by a couple of errors and they were beaten 3-2 by Ghana. The victory saw Ghana move top of the group, while South Korea dropped to the bottom of the table.

South Korea isn’t getting the best out of its talisman, Son Heung-min. He scored 22 goals for Tottenham Hotspurs last season, winning the Golden Boot award. The 22-year-old hasn’t shown his best form yet this season, but he is still expected to play a role in the team. He has a big responsibility on his shoulder as the talisman of the team, and it will be up to Bento to find ways to get him back in top form.
Portugal
Despite having a relatively mediocre start, Portugal’s 2-0 win over Uruguay put them into the World Cup knockout stage. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a pair of goals, and Bruno Fernandes scored twice. Fernandes had two chances to score a hat-trick in the dying seconds.
Portugal’s win over Uruguay was their second consecutive group stage victory and pushed them into the knockout stage. Portugal is a team that has a knack of leaving it late to qualify. They reached the semi-finals in both 2004 and 2006.
Cristiano Ronaldo has become one of the most dominant players in the world. He has appeared in eight World Cup finals and has scored seven goals. He is also one of the most recognizable players in the world, and his name is familiar to most Premier League fans.

Uruguay
Despite being drawn in Group H, Uruguay are still in the hunt for the final stage. Uruguay and Portugal are two teams that have met at the World Cup before. They won a penalty shootout in the round of 16 and also defeated Portugal 2-1 in the final in 2014. Uruguay won the 2010 FIFA World Cup on penalties. Uruguay is still in the hunt for its third World Cup title in Qatar.
The team is a blend of experienced and young players. Uruguay boasts Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. They are a team that utilises possession in interesting ways. Uruguay also has a strong penalty-box forward.
Portugal played Uruguay in the round of 16 of the World Cup in 2018 while Uruguay defeated Portugal 2-0. They also beat Portugal on penalties in 2010, but lost 2-0 to Portugal in the opening round.

The group is packed with top players, and a number of countries are hoping to qualify for the knockout phase. There are eight groups in total, each of which will feature four teams. Each team will play the other teams in the same group once. The top two teams from each group advance to the round of 16, while the runners-up advance to play two teams from Group G.
One of the biggest attractions in Group H World Cup 2022 is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. Ronaldo, who was a star of the Portuguese national team in his heyday, is back to helping his country nurture its young talent.
