Nov 16, 202200:35:34Tap to summarizeWelcome to the 14th Episode of the MSL Podcast. This special episode is dedicated to previewing the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Amalia and Marco highlight one narrative, one player to watch, and the form report for each team and place them in a tier list ranking how far they think each team will go and the chances they have of progressing all the way to the final. Our tiers are: No chance (meaning that they don’t stand a chance at winning the world cup and are unlikely to progress past the group stage), Knockouts at best (if they perform at their best, their squad can progress past the group stage), Underdogs, Contenders, and Favorites.
