European forces Belgium and Croatia were the favorites entering the tournament, but Morocco pipped both to first place in the group.

They grinded their way through the group, with two 0-0 draws against Belgium and Morocco to go with a 4-1 win over a Canada team that defended naively throughout group play....
The 2022 World Cup champions will receive a stunning US$42 million for lifting the trophy in Qatar. That’s $4m more than France got in 2018 and five times as much as what was awarded just 20 years ago. With the tournament earning FIFA billions of dollars in revenue, it’s only fair that teams and players get a fair share of it. But while the men are raking it, women continue to be offered considerably less prize money for their World Cup efforts....

To setup the context for Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard released a series of Alliance and Horde quests leading up to the expansion that escalate tension between the two factions more than we’ve seen since the game initially launched. Heading into BFA there isn’t a big bad enemy that both sides will eventually team up to take down together.

World of Warcraft has seen faction leaders turn bad before, often to the chagrin of players who prefer the moral ambiguity of the Alliance and Horde conflict first fully explored in Warcraft 3. Not only does Sylvanas continue the trend in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, but the expansion may be setting up another faction leader for a similar fate, if some quest dialog and excerpts from other Warcraft media are to be believed....
Taking this into account, it’s not at all surprising that World of Warcraft fans have a very clear idea of what the next expansion might entail, even if it hasn’t yet been announced by Blizzard Entertainment.

The first time he ordered a missile strike against Iraq, in the summer of ‘93, he had seemed tense and wobbly. He had asked up to the last minute, ““Are you sure this is the right thing to do?’’ But over time, Clinton had become more comfortable in his role as commander in chief....
