Canada vs Morocco FIFA World Cup 2022 broadcast TV and OTT-live streaming: When and where to watch?

<p>Lionel Messi-starrer Argentina were in a do-or-die scenario when they squared off versus Robert Lewandowski's Poland in a vital group stage encounter at the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar. After losing to Saudi Arabia in their tournament opener and then beating Mexico, Argentina had to win to progress ahead into the Round of 16 and they managed to do that with a&nbsp; 2-0 scoreline versus the Polish line-up. Despite the defeat, Poland have also gone through to the next round.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Argentina-Poland clash lived up to expectations, with Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez scoring a goal each. Nonetheless, Messi could've also added to his goal tally but the 35-year-old missed an opportunity to score on a penalty kick, courtesy of Poland keeper&nbsp;Wojciech Szczesny's brilliant save. The Argentina captain earned a spot kick&nbsp;after he was fouled by Polish goalkeeper but he failed to make the most of the opportunity with Sczesny showing great composure and denied Messi from scoring by reading his move and stopping the ball by using a single hand.</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022 Rankings- Points table, team standings of all groups after day 11

<p>Australian football team needed a win versus the No. 10 ranked Denmark to progress ahead into the Round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Prior to the game, Australia were at the second spot in their group and had fate in their own hands knowing that a win will be enough for them to progress ahead in the mega event. A defeat would've ended their run and a draw would've put them in a difficult spot and pushed to a likely early exit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nonetheless, the Aussies rode on&nbsp;Mathew Leckie as he scored the only goal of the match to help his side to a 1-0 win over Denmark and take them into the Round of 16 in a World Cup for only the second time. In 2006 edition, Australia had reached the last 16 for the first time. After the game got over, Aussie fans went berserk and celebrated wildly. The game ended at 4 am local time in Australia, however, the fans gathered in huge numbers and celebrated the side's victory in the streets in Melbourne. Here's a viral video of Aussie fans' celebrations after Australia made it to the last 16:</p>

FIFA WC: Australian fans go berserk as Socceroos seal a spot in Round of 16 with Denmark win - Watch

<p>Germany and Costa Rica will square off against each other in an important group stage clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday (December 02). Both sides have not been at their best and can't afford any more slip-ups if they wish to proceed to the last 16. While the Germans opened their campaign with a shocking 2-0 loss at the hands of Japan, they were much better in their face-off versus Spain, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. On the other hand, Costa Rica were hammered by Spain, 7-0, before they beat the Japanese, 1-0, to open the group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the match, Germany coach Hansi Flick spoke on his future amid Germany's slim chances and spoke at length on the upcoming clash in a news conference. He said, "I can confirm it (I will be staying on) from my side but I have a contract until 2024 and I look forward to the home Euros (in 2024) but it is a long time until then. We want to kill off the game early so as to pile pressure on the other group game. They (Costa Rica) will be defensive most likely. We need to do it and we have to have the attitude we showed against Spain."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "When you look at the table Costa Rica have a chance to reach the round of 16. A draw, and a win for Spain, is enough for them to advance. I expect from Costa Rica a defensive performance as they did it against Japan. We have to find solutions against that."</p>

<p>In terms of head-to-head, the Germans lead Costa Rica 1-0 courtesy of a 4-2 win over them in 2006. It is to be noted that Costa Rica have never defeated Germany on the international stage and will need to pull up its socks to trounce the Germans and create history.&nbsp;<strong>Here's everything you need to know about the clash:</strong></p>

Germany vs Costa Rica FIFA World Cup 2022 broadcast TV and OTT-live streaming: When and where to watch?

<p>The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, is living up to expectations with many twists and turns. All eyes are now on Argentina as they will lock horns with Poland in both sides' last group-stage encounter. It is a must-win game for Argentina as a defeat will surely lead to their early exit. Poland, on the other hand, also need to win but even a draw will help their cause. A defeat will leave them dependent on Mexico to beat Saudi Arabia and they&nbsp;pip the North American side in terms of goal difference. Thus, a lot to play for both sides.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Argentina, they started their campaign versus Saudi Arabia and despite a 1-0 lead, they suffered a shocking 1-2 loss. After that, Lionel Messi &amp; Co. defeated Mexico 2-0 and will like to come out with their A-game in their remaining encounter versus Robert Lewandowski's men.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, is living up to expectations with many twists and turns. All eyes are now on Argentina as they will lock horns with Poland in both sides' last group-stage encounter.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, is living up to expectations with many twists and turns. All eyes are now on Argentina as they will lock horns with Poland in both sides' last group-stage encounter. It is a must-win game for Argentina as a defeat will surely lead to their early exit. Poland, on the other hand, also need to win but even a draw will help their cause. A defeat will leave them dependent on Mexico to beat Saudi Arabia and they pip the North American side in terms of goal difference. Thus, a lot to play for both sides. For Argentina, they started their campaign versus Saudi Arabia and despite a 1-0 lead, they suffered a shocking 1-2 loss. After that, Lionel Messi & Co. defeated Mexico 2-0 and will like to come out with their A-game in their remaining encounter versus Robert Lewandowski's men. The Polish side, on the other hand, started with a 0-0 stalemate versus Mexicans before emerging on top of Saudi, 2-0, hence, are better placed than Argentina at the moment. Overall, it promises to be another enthralling battle in the FIFA WC, in Qatar, as two superstars Messi and Lewandowski will square off against each other.

Iran and United States face each other today to make it to the top 16. In Group B, Iran stand at the second position with three points while the USA are at the third position with two points. Apart from this, the off-field issues have troubled USA and Iran in the World Cup.

FIFA World Cup 2022: USA take on Iran in a politically charged clash in Doha

The U.S. has infuriated Iran at the football World Cup. The U.S. team uploaded an incorrect version of the Iranian flag on social media, leading to a heated exchange with Iranians. Priyanka Sharma tells you more.

Gravitas: U.S.-Iran flag controversy at World Cup

<p>Cody Gakpo scored again as the Netherlands booked their place in the World Cup last 16 as group winners with a straightforward 2-0 victory over hosts Qatar on Tuesday. The Netherlands, needing just a point to be sure of progressing, put one foot in the next round inside the first half-hour as Gakpo scored for a third straight group game. Frenkie de Jong added another in the 49th minute as the Dutch cruised through in a flat atmosphere at the Al Bayt Stadium.</p>

<p>Qatar, already eliminated before kick-off, suffered the ignominy of becoming the first home team in World Cup history to finish the group stage without a point. Louis van Gaal's Dutch side ended with seven points at the top of Group A, while Senegal joined them in the knockout phase as runners-up after beating Ecuador 2-1. The Oranje will next take on the second-placed team from Group B for a quarter-final spot at the Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday.</p>

<p>England currently top that section and face Wales later on Tuesday, while the United States play Iran. All four teams are still in the hunt for qualification. The Dutch have made a solid start as they look to put the disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia firmly behind them. Qatar signed off from their long-awaited home World Cup with a whimper, securing their place in the record books as the worst ever hosts on the pitch.</p>

<p>Van Gaal was able to give Memphis Depay his first start of the tournament as the Barcelona star continued his return to full fitness after a hamstring injury. It did not take the Dutch long to slice through the Qatar defence, although Daley Blind could only scuff a fourth-minute attempt straight at goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham. The opening goal arrived in the 26th minute as Davy Klaassen played in Gakpo after a neat move also involving Depay.</p>

<p>The PSV Eindhoven winger drove forward and drilled a low strike into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to score his third goal of the tournament. The three-time World Cup runners-up took advantage of shoddy Qatar defending to double their advantage four minutes after the break.</p>

<p>Depay was denied from close range by Barsham but De Jong reacted quicker than a ponderous Pedro Miguel to poke the ball home from barely a yard out. Substitute Steven Berghuis thought he had added a third midway through the second half, only for his goal to be ruled out after a VAR check for a handball by Gakpo in the build-up. There was brief excitement for the remaining home supporters late on when Mohammed Muntari prodded the ball into the net, but the whistle had long since gone for a foul on Virgil van Dijk.&nbsp; The Netherlands almost piled more misery onto Qatar in stoppage time when Berghuis' excellent curling strike from range hit the crossbar.</p>

<p><strong>Kalidou Koulibaly takes Senegal into knockouts</strong></p>

<p>Kalidou Koulibaly sent Senegal into the World Cup knockouts for just the second time in their history with the winner in Tuesday's dramatic 2-1 win over Ecuador. The Netherlands' dominant victory over Qatar meant only a win would see Senegal through to the knockouts from Group A, while Ecuador would have progressed with a draw.</p>

<p>Senegal opened the scoring through Ismaila Sarr's penalty late in the first half, but despite managing to keep Ecuador captain Enner Valencia quiet throughout, Brighton's Moises Caicedo levelled in the 67th minute before Koulibaly sent his team through and Ecuador home. Senegal manager Aliou Cisse promised before the game his experienced side "would not overthink" the occasion and it was the Africans who opened the game furiously, with Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye lashing the ball just wide of an open goal after only three minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Less than a minute later, Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez needed to bail out his side's high backline, sliding in to stifle a counter well outside his box.&nbsp; On the 10 minute mark, Senegal's Boulaye Dia found himself one-on-one with Galindez, but he cut the ball just wide of the post.</p>

<p>Seemingly sparked into life by Senegal's fierce opening, Ecuador pushed forward and won a free-kick 30 metres from goal, with the South Americans taking the opportunity for a rare breather before Valencia slammed the ball into the wall. &nbsp;</p>

<p>After the furious opening exchanges, both sides began to settle and the first half looked set to end goalless before Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie clattered into Sarr, giving referee Clement Turpin no choice but to point to the spot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sarr stepped up and coolly dispatched a fine spot-kick past Galindez, maintaining eye contact with the keeper as the ball went in.&nbsp; Ecuador started the second half fresher and more determined, perhaps reassured that the Netherlands' dominance over Qatar meant they only needed a draw to go through. From a free-kick, defender Felix Torres rose high to head the ball on to Caicedo, who was waiting at the far post and slammed the ball home.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Senegal struck back immediately and in almost identical fashion, with Koulibaly lurking unmarked at the far post following a free-kick which was deflected into his path by Hincapie. Coming into the match on a yellow card, Gueye picked up a second-half booking and will miss Senegal's last-16 game against the winners of Group B.&nbsp;</p>

After losing to Ghana 3-2 on Tuesday, the South Korean team left the field in tears.

<p>Portugal went past Uruguay in their second game in the FIFA World Cup 2022, in Qatar, with a 2-0 scoreline but a goal controversy involving Cristiano Ronaldo made heads turn. While the five-time Ballon d’Or winner claimed Portugal’s opening goal, it was later awarded to Bruno Fernandes.&nbsp;Ronaldo even claimed as to why he wasn't awarded the goal but it went in Fernandes' favour.</p>

<p>Now, Adidas --&nbsp;FIFA World Cup’s official ball manufacturer -- has confirmed that the&nbsp;technology inside the ball reveals that Ronaldo didn't touch the ball. "Using the Connected Ball Technology housed in Adidas' Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we are able to definitively show no contact on the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo for the opening goal in the game. No external force on the ball could be measured as shown by the lack of 'heartbeat' in the measurements and in the attached graphic. The 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball allows for a high level of accuracy in the analysis,” Adidas’ statement said.</p>

FIFA World Cup: Man holding rainbow flag invades Portugal vs Uruguay match - Watch

<p>The action continues in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, as Cameroon will be up against Serbia in a crucial Group H encounter on Monday (November 28). Both sides are coming into this fixture on the back of a dismal start to their campaigns with a loss in their opening games. While Cameroon lost to Switzerland, 0-1, the Serbians faced a much tougher opposition in the form of Brazil and went down 0-2. Thus, it is a must-win game for both sides if they wish to keep their World Cup hopes alive.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the African nation, they will look to avoid equalising an unwanted record, with Mexico. In the FIFA World Cup history, Cameroon have now lost eight straight games, after their face-off versus the Swiss. Mexico leads the list with nine consecutive defeats, hence, Cameroon will look to not match the Mexicans and end their winless streak. Serbia, on the other hand, have also lost eight of their ten FIFA WC games and have a 80% loss percentage. Hence, they will also look to better their overall record in the mega event with a good performance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal will return to action in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition with their second game on Tuesday (November 29). After a 3-2 win over Ghana, the former Euro champions will take the field to continue their winning momentum but have a stronger opposition to face this time around in the form of Uruguay. Talking about the Luis Saurez-starrer Uruguay, they didn't have an impressive start, returning with a 0-0 stalemate versus South Korea in their opening clash in Qatar.</p>

<p>Thus, Portugal will start as favourites but Uruguay have enough firepower to counter Ronaldo &amp; Co. In the 2018 edition, the Portuguese were shown the door in the Round of 16 with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the same opposition to crash out of the mega event in Russia. Will the script remain the same or Portugal will make it two wins in a row? Only time will tell. With the 37-year-old Ronaldo most likely playing his last World Cup, he will like to give his all and marshal his troops to the next round with a convincing win over Uruguay. Portugal have an edge at the moment but they will acknowledge that they weren't at their very best and were challenged quite a lot by Ghana in their tournament opener. Thus, an enthralling contest is surely on cards.</p>
