It's cute you placed the US as ending on top of their group with England in 2nd place lol. What's incredible is that England ended up with 7 points and the US with 5, same numbers you used but swapped. You were right about them being the two to go through, but that was fairly easily predictable. As someone who knew how all this worked, I found your guide to be very nicely done and easily understandable for all the newbies out there. Tomorrow we'll know the last 4 to advance to the Round of 16 and it will be an interesting one! Can't believe teams like Belgium, Germany and Denmark are going home though. P.S. Given the increase from 32 to 48 teams in 2026, Italy should have a higher change to qualify, though there will be more games to play :P
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah lots of chances for teams that missed out with the expansion next time! Would have loved to see Egypt in this year to see salah!
As a South American, I hope this can help somebody from US that doesn't understand football. When I got into baseball during the Tokyo Olympics, I had to watch countless games without understanding nothing before having a grasp on the game. Now I'm an avid follower of the MLB season. Great video :)
Additional fact: Sure, you won't find clubs in the World Cup, that is because they have a World Cup of their own. The FIFA Club World Cup was first organized in 2000 as an 8-team tournament, 2005-2006 as a 6-team one, 2007-2023 as a 7-team one, and 2025-present as a 32-team showdown. In the 2005-23 format, teams that won one of the six continental club championships from each of the six confederations mentioned in the video (the UEFA Champions League for example), plus the national champion of the host country, battle in a playoff format, no group stages. In the upcoming 2025 format, there are 32 teams, with its slots distributed across the confederations eerily similar to the one used in the 2022 FIFA World Cup (except for CONMEBOL getting 6 slots, the rest but one gets 4 slots, OFC gets one, no intercontinental play-offs.). Speaking of, the format is the same. 8 groups, 4 teams each, top two advance. The 2025 edition will be hosted on the East Coast of the United States from June 15 to July 13. Book your tickets now,
Very nice explanation. But maybe next time you could explain on tiebreakers cuz sometimes the points on each time they performed can be the same. And some ppl may need more explanation on that as they may be confused
@@JustinLearnsThings thanks! I only really watch liga MX and some national teams, a video listing the team name origins in your video style would be so cool since US & MX teams play together from time to time, keep up the great videos 🇺🇸🫶🏼🇲🇽
So, this is weird. If you bring out this video at this time, you have to at least mention the controversy. even if you don't intend to talk about it at all, this has to be mentioned otherwise you will, and pretty deservingly so, get shit about it.
It’s phenomenal how you didn’t put any Arabic country on your qualified teams Even if your video was made before the World Cup, but since it’s for education, it’s a bad thing
The problem with the US is that they go to the World Cup and play a different sport, they play Soccer while the rest of the world plays Football.
Haha underrated comment! 😂
Facts 😆
Don't Canada and Australia also call it soccer?
@@cherrycolareal it depends they call it both America is the only country that persistently calls it Soccer
@@PopNolan the Australian men's team is literally nicknamed the "socceroos".

Thanks so much! That’s the hope that it lowers the barrier for some new fans!!
Justin you only wish USA would win

A very well made and explained video. Couldn't have found anything better than this on the internet. Thank you
Thanks so much for checking it out! 🙌

Can you premier league/bundesliga/ la liga/ serie a and ligue 1
Definitely in the plans! Lots to consider with Pro/Rel and what teams to include... Might end up doing a mega video about the whole FA.
Thank you learnsThings
I really wanna see Argentina vs Portugal
That'd be a good match!
@@JustinLearnsThings I personaly want Portugal to win
That'd be quite the high note for Ronaldo. I also love watching Joao Felix play... bummed that Diogo Jota didn't make the call!
Bro your predictions for the USA were almost 100%
I know!! So close! Just needed to get a goal in that second half v wales! Hoping to see a deep run!
@@JustinLearnsThings same but if USA beats the Netherlands some how than they might have to go against Argentina and last run Messi so I hope but idk😭
@@samonsta2715 Unfortunately it looks like my predictions have come to an end!😢
@@JustinLearnsThings 😭😭😭
FIFA says "Nope, update it, why not"
I was so confused seeing the US advance haha
Haha tried to manifest it… wasn’t meant to be!
Thank you so much for this video, you made it so easy and clear!!!
Thank you! Glad it helped! Definitely isn't super clear for people that aren't familiar with the format!
Thank you for a very great explanation will share this video with my family and friends 👍👍👍👍👍👍⚽⚽⚽⚽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!🙌
Thank you. USA has advanced!
Thanks for watching! SO stoked! can't wait for saturday!
Thank you so much for this detailed video ❤️❤️

FIFA Lore:

Great video btw
Was super happy to see Argentina win! Thank you for watching!
Would you make a video on how leagues work?
Yeah definitely! On the list! 🙌
New video? Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Do a video on the names of the Liga MX
I’ll put it on the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@JustinLearnsThings thanks! I only really watch liga MX and some national teams, a video listing the team name origins in your video style would be so cool since US & MX teams play together from time to time, keep up the great videos 🇺🇸🫶🏼🇲🇽
@@ComradeFer For Sure! Thanks for watching!
I can’t wait to see a world baseball classic video. Also can’t wait for how every team got their logo
That's a good idea for the world baseball classic. Definitely working on the the logo video!
Go soccer team USA
Let's go!!
The animation with the player with the rope around his neck... that REALLY triggered me. 😢

One can hope 🥲 haha

Golden Gate FC is a pretty good name
It’s phenomenal how you didn’t put any Arabic country on your qualified teams
