Among those teams will be two top South American countries with Argentina and Brazil looking to continue their fine form.

Meanwhile, prestigious European nations like England, France and Germany are seeking a title of their own.

For Les Bleus, the French will go for back-to-back World Cups, which hasn't been done since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.

The sport's biggest stars will meet in Qatar, including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, a newer generation of budding talents aim to put their stamp on the tournament.

Darwin Nuñez, Dušan Vlahović and Jonathan David are just a few of the attacking names to watch out for this winter.

Today, ONE37pm takes a look at the best 2022 World Cup matches.

Group A

The Netherlands feature one of the best defensive units at the World Cup led by Virgil van Dijk and Mathijs De Ligt at the heart of their back line.

Meanwhile, Barcelona stars Frenkie De Jong and Memphis Depay will give the Dutch solid options in the midfield and attack, respectively.

They'll face off against a Senegal side that won the African Cup of Nations earlier this year and has an immense amount of talent.

That includes Sadio Mane, as well as Chelsea duo Eduoard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.

The United States and England will meet again at the World Cup after previously clashing in 2010.

The two sides settled for a draw in South Africa after both nations reached the knockout phase that year.

Both England and the U.S. feature an incredible amount of youth talent that includes Phil Foden, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount.

Group C

Any time Lionel Messi steps on the pitch it's going to be electric.

Argentina are one of the big favorites in Qatar and facing Mexico will only raise the stakes for this match.

El Tri have become a staple of World Cup knockout rounds, but they'll be looking to break the curse of losing in the Round of 16.
