Ranking Every Match From The 2022 FIFA World Cup 

Aside from the France vs Argentina game, that Netherlands vs Argentina game was one of the most memorable, especially that 90+11 goal, really that one is arguably one of the greatest World Cup goal ever

I would have put Argentina vs Netherlands higher just bc of the fight 💀💀💀, great vid tho-

Not a bad ranking but I can't justify giving Portugals blowout win vs Switzerland an S tier ranking. From a goal oriented entertainment standpoint sure, but the suspense of the matches quickly evaporated. The significance of Croatia knocking out Brazil and the fashion of how it happened after Neymar scores a beauty of a goal.... that's an S-tier finaly and probably the 3rd best game of the tournament

France vs Argentina and Netherlands vs Argentina were literally the best games of the World Cup I don't think I've ever been the hyped and anxious over a football match lol

Personally, I would put Saudi Arabia beating Messi's Aregentina in S tier. No one was expecting it and quite personally, it really shocked me at 4am.

Not putting Croatia vs Brazil in S tier should be a crime. All this tension and a underdog winning against a title- favorite was great! Definitely not a B tier

In my opinion Argentina vs Netherlands was the best match of the tournament. Similar to the final, Argentina dominated for most of the match with a late comeback from the opposition. It also had a ton of ref controversy for both sides and was by far the most heated match of the World Cup.

Would've put "🇭🇷 1 (4) - (2) 1 🇧🇷" in the S tier, it was so exciting and emotional! We were kind of acceptably underwhelmed when Neymar finally scored in the extra time (105'+1), so you have no idea how much we screamed "GOOOOOOOOOL" when Petkovic unexpectedly tied the match again (116') with only 5 minutes left in the extra time... I almost cried! And that Marquinhos miss in the pole in the penalty shootout, oh my gosh... we all started to dance for 🇭🇷's victory, as 🇧🇷 couldn't dance anymore 😅 Truly an epic match... though it was not the best 2022 World Cup match disputed that day...

I would put Arg vs Netherlands and Brazil vs Croatia in S tier. Must watch matches!

the fact that u put belgium croatia in d says that all u were looking for was goals. it was actually a really entertaining game(despite no goals) considering the way u were reviewing it deserved a b atleast

I feel like you rated many games high because they had a lot of goals, but some weren’t that great. On the opposite, Croatia v Brasil and Ned v Argentina definitely deserved S Tier

One of the best moments along with the usual ones was in South Korea vs Portugal in which in those dying minutes son made a run for the whole pitch and made an assist and that sealed their spont in round of 16 such an amazing moment.

I’ll say this about Croatia vs Belgium. Watching Belgium have so many chances to score and constantly failing was hillarious. Sad though at the same time considering how strong they were in 2018

so perfect that the game of the tournament is the final, what a way for the saga to end. I will never forget that game.

Just a correction, Mexico didn't think they were through until the last minute. Actually, Poland was ahead of Mexico on fairplay points all the time. The Saudi goal changed nothing, as Mexico needed one more goal regardless (3-0 to win on goal difference or 3-1 to win on goals scored).

The fact that you took the time to go through all these games and rank each one shows insane dedication. Underrated youtuber. Keep going👊

Not sure how you’d forget the last Belgian game. It was the one where Lakaka scuffed like 5 clear cut chances.

Great Rating. I disagree with only a couple of those ratings, but it's kinda expected, since we're talking about 64 games. Nevertheless, pretty objective and justified ranking. Well done

I would say the top 2 best world cup matches for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup were the following: 1. Argentina vs. France - The sheer stakes of Lionel Messi's pride were on this match. He lost the 2014 WC Final, and up until 2021, Argentina have suffered defeat after defeat. However, Argentina were the favorites going into this tournament to win the match because they won the 2021 Copa and the 2022 Finalissima, both in spectacular fashion. I think that Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia was a clear wake up call to them: get their heads out of their own asses and get to work. And this world cup, Argentina were in their best form possible. Everyone followed Messi as their leader. They helped Messi, and Messi helped them. It was a cohesive team, lots of fluidity and coordination, and all of it worked to a TEA. If Messi won, this would've cemented his legacy as the Greatest of All Time. Then you have France, the international juggernauts of the last 5 years. Thanks to Deschamps, and a whole bunch of young talent, all lead by Kylian Mbappe, France became an internation powerhouse. They cruised through the 2018 WC, made a statement at the 2020 EUROs, and destroyed everyone in the 2022 WC. If Kylian Mbappe won, he would be the first player and the youngest player since Pele to win back-to-back World Cups, and would've become an international dominator that POTENTIALLY matched the international juggernaut of Pele. There was a lot of back and forth in this match. Argentina destroyed France in the first half. France came back and Mbappe tied them in the second half. They traded blows in extra time. Then when it came to penalties, it was all riding on this, and Dibu did what he did best. I'm happy Argentina won, as Messi is my GOAT and THE GOAT, but I will ALWAYS, and I mean, ALWAYS respect France and Mbappe for their performances in this tournament. The 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup Final will go down, in my book, as the single greatest soccer/football match of all time, even more than of '96 Italy v. France, '14 Brazil v. Germany, '14 Argentina v. Germany, '22 Japan v. Spain, '10 Spain v. Netherlands, and so many more great matches. 2. Argentina vs. The Netherlands - The aptly named "Battle of Lusail" where a historic near 20 bookings happened, on-field drama, and a shit-load of antics. This match had HISTORY, and I was on the edge of my seat for this match. I knew there was bad blood between the Albesceleste and the Dutch, especially with the coaches and the players. This match was really good, two powerhouses went back and forth with each other, and that 100' free kick goal was absolutely stunning! I commend both Argentina and Holland for doing their absolute best. But the real highlight of this match was the referree, the bookings, and the bad blood that was displayed here. I knew this ref, and he was such a diva, as he wanted to make this match about him, and hell he did, as he was known to have some strife with Lionel Messi. But, the bookings were downright hilarious and absurd. The ref just handed out yellow cards like hotcakes, and to see the squabbles between the players was fun. It was brutal, as it did get physical. I saw Paredes straight yeet the ball into Holland's bench, and then I saw Van Dijk just run and shove Paredes to the ground. Then came the crowd brawl between the players. I was shocked, but man I was kinda laughing. This match was amazing.

bro Croatia v Brazil was so tense; how did you not put it in S tier, also the excitement from a relatively believed underdog team to beat one of the teams widely believed to have a winning chance is so great!

People are always talking about how Martinez save was the most important save of the history wich it was but no one is talking about Romero's header after the save where he cleared the ball out so that the game could go to penalties.

Saying Spain was the better team in every regard then putting that game in B tier especially after that penalty shootout is a criminal take you must not have watched that match Edit: not putting Croatia and Brazil in S tier but Switzerland and Portugal instead is an even greater crime

“Absolutely one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. B tier for this one”.

Morocco vs Portugal should be high simply because they were the first African and Arabic team to make it to the semis ever

For me Croatia - Brazil was one of the best matches of the tournament

My personal favourite was Belgium vs Morocco. I was watching it with a few other Moroccans and when the first goal was scored everyone went wild cause we didn't think we would have a chance at beating Belgium since they had Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard and Courtois but then it was disallowed since it was slightly offside. That was probably the lowest part of the 2022 World Cup for me second only to El-Yamiq barely missing a bicycle kick against France. Then Morocco managed to score again and everyone went wild again. The 2nd/3rd goal convinced me and pretty much the rest of Morocco that we could make it far in the World Cup. My 2nd favourite was Argentina vs France and my 3rd was Japan vs Spain since I'm a big Brighton fan and I wanted Mitoma to make it far in the world cup. He ended up having the most clutch/controversial assist in the world cup in that match and Costa Rica's second goal against Germany was probably my favourite non-Morocco related moment of the World Cup since at that moment Costa Rica and Japan would've been going through a group with Germany and Spain but Germany had to ruin it by scoring 3 more goals.

To this day, I still felt the emotions, stress of the world cup final, truly the best match I've ever seen.

Absolutely fantastic video, thorough but not exhaustive and added in plenty of details about the matches. Well impressed.

the final was insane definitely the or one of the best finals of all time great vid! keep it up!

bros enjoyment of the game is based only on goals

Ngl watching the World Cup at school was a vibe

Great vid, loved every minute of it 😊

That final was not only the game of the tournament but easily the best match of the last 10 world cups

It sounded weird when you said "as Messi & Co advanced to the World Cup Final for the first time since 2014" making it sound like it was a looong time ago, when it was only 2 world cups ago haha. Great video!

The video was a vibe but the music was more of a vibe l0ved it keep up this content ❤

Loved the video

Being a fan of Argentina this cup was surreal. Backs against the walls after the very first game and just banger after banger after banger of a game from then on.

man, as an Argentinian I remember when Netherlands scored the 2nd goal I wanted to throw up and had a headache just from the nerves. I suffered that match more than the final one. thakfully it all ended how I wanted. nice video!

amazinh video ty

Wow, this video was amazing

Can't believe Morocco's matches were ranked so low

Good list. This was one of the best World Cups I have ever seen but as a Canadian like you I was disappointed in our display in the tournament. At least my GOAT won the whole thing in the end 😍

This is my first time watching your video and it was so good

This is a great video

Belgium vs Croatia was pretty iconic because of Lukaku missing every opportunity

As a Costa Rican, the match against Germany had us all in a chokehold, a rollercoaster of emotions, sadly we lost :(

One of the greatest videos ever made

Such a good video. Your channel is now one of my fav channels

I might put the Croatia Belgium game higher than a D, although there weren’t any goals, Belgium missed a million chances (mostly lukaku) and it had a lot of storyline to it being the end of belgiums golden generation.

In 2026 there is gonna be like 100 games, have fun ranking them 💀 Also nice video I’m subbed

Class video

This was really good coming from a small channel. Keep up the great work bro.

Australia vs Argentina was tough because I was born in Australia but I love Messi so I wasn’t too disappointed on who won surprised Australia didn’t get smashed tho 😊

This video was amazing bro, also my teams Spain and Canada had a rough time sadly😪😪😪😪.... Would be sick if you could do one for 2018 and 2014!😁

Great Video

As a Dutchman, losing to the eventual champions the way we did after the match we had was elite. The 2014 loss was hard to stomach but this one was tolerable.

I'm from Argentina and in the final I was under the sun watching the game with tons of people, towards the end my soul was leaving my body, 50% of me was in the astral plane and the other 50% kept me alive... Damn such a mystical game...

Fun correction for what you said about Mexico/Qatar game - Mexico actually needed a third goal against Saudi Arabia because they were going out based on number of yellow cards because their stats at that time were identical to Poland who were losing 2-0 to Argentina. (Both had lost 2-0 to Argentina, drew with each other and beating Saudi 2-0). Therefore the goal the Saudis scored actually had no impact whatsoever as Mexico still needed only one more goal as winning 3-1 would have sent them through on total goals scored.

love this content, took a look at your channel and am loving what i'm seeing, subscribing for sure!

Amazing video! Not so common to have the best game at the final, we almost died but it was worth it 😂

The dream of every world cup is to have the finals as the game of the tournament, and 2022 did it!

this channel needs more subs i fr thought you had more than 100k subs with that video

Great vid new subscriber. Shedding a tear recalling Netherlands vs USA as an American

tho some questionable tier list rankings, still good video

Most of the games with France should be S tier, like France VS England which was a crazy game.

One of the reasons ill never forget the final was that it took 4 hours for my pizzas to be delivered. They sent them to the wrong house, forgot about them and then finally made them a size larger, refunded the order and gave us cookies. The pizzas was meant to arrive at the start of the match.

surprised by the low amount of views and subs, deserves a lot more I hope RU-vid blesses you! Subscribed!

Completely agree with that Eng v USA game, man was that a disappointment. After 12 years of wonder followed by anticipation and hype from the WC draw and then we got… that? Great video btw.

This was my first World Cup and as an Australian it was so magical to experience Of course id probably rank our matches high out of bias but you probably picked the right the places haha The Australia and Argentina game being S was definitely where id have it too tho, as sad as it was haha

Great list here. Now the countdown begins for Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024.

S tier video

I dont understand how you put France vs Poland in B and Mexico vs Poland in D. Mexico vs Poland was an amazing close game the whole 90 minutes and i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, while France vs Poland was just a blowout.

I would say Saudi Arabia vs Mexico is an A tier due to the circumstances, intensity, and a beautiful free kick goal

great video,would watch every video if you do it with every world cup

The final was craaazy, a true rollecoaster !!

I would have put the matches with croatia and morroco MUCH higher Even if they were 0 - 0 a lot of the game it still felt much more exciting than most of the other matches. And the 3rd and 4th place match between them was just spectacular. That should have been the finale

Im Japanese and Costa Rican, group E was definitely a roller coaster for me 😭😭😭

We are so lucky to see the game of the tournament being the final. VAMOS

i think poland v argentina was one of the best games in the world cup in the first 45 szczesny masterclass saving a messi pen and being completly dominate and the madness cuz lewandowski tackled messi then messi got mad lol

disagree on Belgium - Croatia, Lukaku's open goal misses were legendary

Thing is, normally the finals of these tournaments aren't that amazing, often resulting in low scoring games that are kinda boring to watch. Not this time lmao, this time it was one of the greatest football matches that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. When Mbappe scored the first 2 goals, my heart sank, I wanted messi to get the world cup and when that happened I started to shit myself. Easy to say, it was such a roller coaster and it definitely should have the reputation of being one of the best football matches ever played.

Watched the final a day before a big exam. Ended up doing poorly on that exam but crushed the course in the next semester. I already forgot what was on that exam but will remember that match forever. Worth it

Saudi Vs Argentina is S tier definitely, the fans of Saudi and Argentina where by far the most in attendance in the World Cup and that match was out of this world good and Saudi ended Argentina’s unbeaten streak which was tied with Italy and they couldn’t break the record also funnily enough they ended up winning the whole thing this game will be remembered for generations

what was the website that you used for those match results? great vid tho i think the arg and Netherlands game should've been a bit higher and the saudi arabia vs argentina

7:00 Mexico didn´t think they were going through with the 2-0 lead. IIR they needed to score a goal as with the current lead they were going out on GF, when Saudi Arabia scored if they scored a goal Mexico would´ve still been through. (2-0 or 2-1 Mexico were out, 3-0 or 3-1 they were in)

Game: (exists) Vibe: Yeah, this is A tier

7:00 when Mexico was up 2-0 they were losing on yellow cards to Poland, so they still needed one goal. When Saudi Arabia made it 2-1 Mexico was now losing on goal differential to Poland, but they still only needed one goal to go through, as if they made the score 3-1 they would now be winning on the most goals scored criteria, bypassing fair play tie breakers.

Argentina was putting on banger after banger after banger throughout the tournament. Totally deserved champions🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷.

i feel a lot of the lower scoring games should have been higher on the list but i can understand why you enjoyed the high scoring bouts

Argentinian here, just watching pics from out matches makes my heart rate rise, my god what a crazy cup

saudi vs argentina in the same category with iran vs england is WILD!!!!

this dude is underrated

the 2-3 serbia switzerland definitly s tier it was sensational 2 remontada in the same match both team equalise both teams take the lead what a match

You don't remember the Belgium-Croatia game? I can still relive those Lukaku misses in my head lol

Great idea, good video, but very based rankings. You ranked high scoring matches that were not exciting at all really high, and on the other hand you ranked low the matches that didn't have lots of goals but were exciting and thrilling until the final whistle (eg. Croatia - Brasil, maybe even Croatia - Belgium). It looks like you ranked many of these based of just goals and some highlights and not the gameplay. Also you really undervalued Croatia in the ranking. I would love to see this kind of video for 2018 world cup.

Brazil vs Croatia should've been atleast A tier IMO

Denmark - Tunisia was probably the best 0-0 match I've ever seen

Highly respect and admire your ability to not let your team losing impact your rankings.

deserved game of the tournament for the last game of the world cup. I am fully convinced this game alone could become a movie someday. Absolutely astounding from from Argentina and France with pressure that is not seen often in sports.

7:00 we were going home anyway, we needed 3-0 and we were 2-0. That overtime goal from saudi just sealed the deal.
