What teams are still in World Cup 2022 and who has been eliminated?

PA Wire

The 2022 World Cup is reaching the business end as 32 nations began on 20 November aiming to lift the Jules Rimet trophy in Doha on 18 December.

Despite the many off-field issues around the tournament in Qatar, the group stage threw up plenty of thrills and spills, with Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia going down as one of the greatest shocks of any World Cup in history. Japan also stunned Germany, while Spain and England racked up goals in statement opening wins.

The drama has continued in the knockout stage as Morocco stunned Spain in the last 16 and then made history by beating Portugal to become the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, while Croatia knocked out tournament favourites Brazil in the quarter-finals.

There are only a handful of teams left in Qatar as the semi-final come into view before the final itself on Sunday December 18.
