I would have put Argentina vs Netherlands higher just bc of the fight 💀💀💀, great vid tho-

Aside from the France vs Argentina game, that Netherlands vs Argentina game was one of the most memorable, especially that 90+11 goal, really that one is arguably one of the greatest World Cup goal ever

Not a bad ranking but I can't justify giving Portugals blowout win vs Switzerland an S tier ranking. From a goal oriented entertainment standpoint sure, but the suspense of the matches quickly evaporated. The significance of Croatia knocking out Brazil and the fashion of how it happened after Neymar scores a beauty of a goal.... that's an S-tier finaly and probably the 3rd best game of the tournament

Personally, I would put Saudi Arabia beating Messi's Aregentina in S tier. No one was expecting it and quite personally, it really shocked me at 4am.

France vs Argentina and Netherlands vs Argentina were literally the best games of the World Cup I don't think I've ever been the hyped and anxious over a football match lol

In my opinion Argentina vs Netherlands was the best match of the tournament. Similar to the final, Argentina dominated for most of the match with a late comeback from the opposition. It also had a ton of ref controversy for both sides and was by far the most heated match of the World Cup.

Not putting Croatia vs Brazil in S tier should be a crime. All this tension and a underdog winning against a title- favorite was great! Definitely not a B tier

Would've put "🇭🇷 1 (4) - (2) 1 🇧🇷" in the S tier, it was so exciting and emotional! We were kind of acceptably underwhelmed when Neymar finally scored in the extra time (105'+1), so you have no idea how much we screamed "GOOOOOOOOOL" when Petkovic unexpectedly tied the match again (116') with only 5 minutes left in the extra time... I almost cried! And that Marquinhos miss in the pole in the penalty shootout, oh my gosh... we all started to dance for 🇭🇷's victory, as 🇧🇷 couldn't dance anymore 😅 Truly an epic match... though it was not the best 2022 World Cup match disputed that day...

I would put Arg vs Netherlands and Brazil vs Croatia in S tier. Must watch matches!

the fact that u put belgium croatia in d says that all u were looking for was goals. it was actually a really entertaining game(despite no goals) considering the way u were reviewing it deserved a b atleast

I feel like you rated many games high because they had a lot of goals, but some weren’t that great. On the opposite, Croatia v Brasil and Ned v Argentina definitely deserved S Tier

One of the best moments along with the usual ones was in South Korea vs Portugal in which in those dying minutes son made a run for the whole pitch and made an assist and that sealed their spont in round of 16 such an amazing moment.

Just a correction, Mexico didn't think they were through until the last minute. Actually, Poland was ahead of Mexico on fairplay points all the time. The Saudi goal changed nothing, as Mexico needed one more goal regardless (3-0 to win on goal difference or 3-1 to win on goals scored).

I’ll say this about Croatia vs Belgium. Watching Belgium have so many chances to score and constantly failing was hillarious. Sad though at the same time considering how strong they were in 2018

so perfect that the game of the tournament is the final, what a way for the saga to end. I will never forget that game.

Great Rating. I disagree with only a couple of those ratings, but it's kinda expected, since we're talking about 64 games. Nevertheless, pretty objective and justified ranking. Well done

The fact that you took the time to go through all these games and rank each one shows insane dedication. Underrated youtuber. Keep going👊

bro Croatia v Brazil was so tense; how did you not put it in S tier, also the excitement from a relatively believed underdog team to beat one of the teams widely believed to have a winning chance is so great!

Not sure how you’d forget the last Belgian game. It was the one where Lakaka scuffed like 5 clear cut chances.

I would say the top 2 best world cup matches for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup were the following: 1. Argentina vs. France - The sheer stakes of Lionel Messi's pride were on this match. He lost the 2014 WC Final, and up until 2021, Argentina have suffered defeat after defeat. However, Argentina were the favorites going into this tournament to win the match because they won the 2021 Copa and the 2022 Finalissima, both in spectacular fashion. I think that Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia was a clear wake up call to them: get their heads out of their own asses and get to work. And this world cup, Argentina were in their best form possible. Everyone followed Messi as their leader. They helped Messi, and Messi helped them. It was a cohesive team, lots of fluidity and coordination, and all of it worked to a TEA. If Messi won, this would've cemented his legacy as the Greatest of All Time. Then you have France, the international juggernauts of the last 5 years. Thanks to Deschamps, and a whole bunch of young talent, all lead by Kylian Mbappe, France became an internation powerhouse. They cruised through the 2018 WC, made a statement at the 2020 EUROs, and destroyed everyone in the 2022 WC. If Kylian Mbappe won, he would be the first player and the youngest player since Pele to win back-to-back World Cups, and would've become an international dominator that POTENTIALLY matched the international juggernaut of Pele. There was a lot of back and forth in this match. Argentina destroyed France in the first half. France came back and Mbappe tied them in the second half. They traded blows in extra time. Then when it came to penalties, it was all riding on this, and Dibu did what he did best. I'm happy Argentina won, as Messi is my GOAT and THE GOAT, but I will ALWAYS, and I mean, ALWAYS respect France and Mbappe for their performances in this tournament. The 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup Final will go down, in my book, as the single greatest soccer/football match of all time, even more than of '96 Italy v. France, '14 Brazil v. Germany, '14 Argentina v. Germany, '22 Japan v. Spain, '10 Spain v. Netherlands, and so many more great matches. 2. Argentina vs. The Netherlands - The aptly named "Battle of Lusail" where a historic near 20 bookings happened, on-field drama, and a shit-load of antics. This match had HISTORY, and I was on the edge of my seat for this match. I knew there was bad blood between the Albesceleste and the Dutch, especially with the coaches and the players. This match was really good, two powerhouses went back and forth with each other, and that 100' free kick goal was absolutely stunning! I commend both Argentina and Holland for doing their absolute best. But the real highlight of this match was the referree, the bookings, and the bad blood that was displayed here. I knew this ref, and he was such a diva, as he wanted to make this match about him, and hell he did, as he was known to have some strife with Lionel Messi. But, the bookings were downright hilarious and absurd. The ref just handed out yellow cards like hotcakes, and to see the squabbles between the players was fun. It was brutal, as it did get physical. I saw Paredes straight yeet the ball into Holland's bench, and then I saw Van Dijk just run and shove Paredes to the ground. Then came the crowd brawl between the players. I was shocked, but man I was kinda laughing. This match was amazing.

My personal favourite was Belgium vs Morocco. I was watching it with a few other Moroccans and when the first goal was scored everyone went wild cause we didn't think we would have a chance at beating Belgium since they had Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard and Courtois but then it was disallowed since it was slightly offside. That was probably the lowest part of the 2022 World Cup for me second only to El-Yamiq barely missing a bicycle kick against France. Then Morocco managed to score again and everyone went wild again. The 2nd/3rd goal convinced me and pretty much the rest of Morocco that we could make it far in the World Cup. My 2nd favourite was Argentina vs France and my 3rd was Japan vs Spain since I'm a big Brighton fan and I wanted Mitoma to make it far in the world cup. He ended up having the most clutch/controversial assist in the world cup in that match and Costa Rica's second goal against Germany was probably my favourite non-Morocco related moment of the World Cup since at that moment Costa Rica and Japan would've been going through a group with Germany and Spain but Germany had to ruin it by scoring 3 more goals.

For me Croatia - Brazil was one of the best matches of the tournament

man, as an Argentinian I remember when Netherlands scored the 2nd goal I wanted to throw up and had a headache just from the nerves. I suffered that match more than the final one. thakfully it all ended how I wanted. nice video!

People are always talking about how Martinez save was the most important save of the history wich it was but no one is talking about Romero's header after the save where he cleared the ball out so that the game could go to penalties.

the final was insane definitely the or one of the best finals of all time great vid! keep it up!

Morocco vs Portugal should be high simply because they were the first African and Arabic team to make it to the semis ever

Absolutely fantastic video, thorough but not exhaustive and added in plenty of details about the matches. Well impressed.

Good list. This was one of the best World Cups I have ever seen but as a Canadian like you I was disappointed in our display in the tournament. At least my GOAT won the whole thing in the end 😍

To this day, I still felt the emotions, stress of the world cup final, truly the best match I've ever seen.

Being a fan of Argentina this cup was surreal. Backs against the walls after the very first game and just banger after banger after banger of a game from then on.

Great vid, loved every minute of it 😊

It sounded weird when you said "as Messi & Co advanced to the World Cup Final for the first time since 2014" making it sound like it was a looong time ago, when it was only 2 world cups ago haha. Great video!

Saying Spain was the better team in every regard then putting that game in B tier especially after that penalty shootout is a criminal take you must not have watched that match Edit: not putting Croatia and Brazil in S tier but Switzerland and Portugal instead is an even greater crime

Fun correction for what you said about Mexico/Qatar game - Mexico actually needed a third goal against Saudi Arabia because they were going out based on number of yellow cards because their stats at that time were identical to Poland who were losing 2-0 to Argentina. (Both had lost 2-0 to Argentina, drew with each other and beating Saudi 2-0). Therefore the goal the Saudis scored actually had no impact whatsoever as Mexico still needed only one more goal as winning 3-1 would have sent them through on total goals scored.

That final was not only the game of the tournament but easily the best match of the last 10 world cups

This is my first time watching your video and it was so good

bros enjoyment of the game is based only on goals

As a Costa Rican, the match against Germany had us all in a chokehold, a rollercoaster of emotions, sadly we lost :(

Can't believe Morocco's matches were ranked so low

I might put the Croatia Belgium game higher than a D, although there weren’t any goals, Belgium missed a million chances (mostly lukaku) and it had a lot of storyline to it being the end of belgiums golden generation.

This was my first World Cup and as an Australian it was so magical to experience Of course id probably rank our matches high out of bias but you probably picked the right the places haha The Australia and Argentina game being S was definitely where id have it too tho, as sad as it was haha

Completely agree with that Eng v USA game, man was that a disappointment. After 12 years of wonder followed by anticipation and hype from the WC draw and then we got… that? Great video btw.

The video was a vibe but the music was more of a vibe l0ved it keep up this content ❤

love this content, took a look at your channel and am loving what i'm seeing, subscribing for sure!

Australia vs Argentina was tough because I was born in Australia but I love Messi so I wasn’t too disappointed on who won surprised Australia didn’t get smashed tho 😊

This video was amazing bro, also my teams Spain and Canada had a rough time sadly😪😪😪😪.... Would be sick if you could do one for 2018 and 2014!😁

Belgium vs Croatia was pretty iconic because of Lukaku missing every opportunity

tho some questionable tier list rankings, still good video

I'm from Argentina and in the final I was under the sun watching the game with tons of people, towards the end my soul was leaving my body, 50% of me was in the astral plane and the other 50% kept me alive... Damn such a mystical game...

Most of the games with France should be S tier, like France VS England which was a crazy game.

Such a good video. Your channel is now one of my fav channels

We are so lucky to see the game of the tournament being the final. VAMOS

this channel needs more subs i fr thought you had more than 100k subs with that video

what was the website that you used for those match results? great vid tho i think the arg and Netherlands game should've been a bit higher and the saudi arabia vs argentina

“Absolutely one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. B tier for this one”.

Amazing video! Not so common to have the best game at the final, we almost died but it was worth it 😂

In 2026 there is gonna be like 100 games, have fun ranking them 💀 Also nice video I’m subbed

I dont understand how you put France vs Poland in B and Mexico vs Poland in D. Mexico vs Poland was an amazing close game the whole 90 minutes and i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, while France vs Poland was just a blowout.

7:00 when Mexico was up 2-0 they were losing on yellow cards to Poland, so they still needed one goal. When Saudi Arabia made it 2-1 Mexico was now losing on goal differential to Poland, but they still only needed one goal to go through, as if they made the score 3-1 they would now be winning on the most goals scored criteria, bypassing fair play tie breakers.

Great vid new subscriber. Shedding a tear recalling Netherlands vs USA as an American

The dream of every world cup is to have the finals as the game of the tournament, and 2022 did it!

i feel a lot of the lower scoring games should have been higher on the list but i can understand why you enjoyed the high scoring bouts

Great idea, good video, but very based rankings. You ranked high scoring matches that were not exciting at all really high, and on the other hand you ranked low the matches that didn't have lots of goals but were exciting and thrilling until the final whistle (eg. Croatia - Brasil, maybe even Croatia - Belgium). It looks like you ranked many of these based of just goals and some highlights and not the gameplay. Also you really undervalued Croatia in the ranking. I would love to see this kind of video for 2018 world cup.

This was really good coming from a small channel. Keep up the great work bro.

I would have put the matches with croatia and morroco MUCH higher Even if they were 0 - 0 a lot of the game it still felt much more exciting than most of the other matches. And the 3rd and 4th place match between them was just spectacular. That should have been the finale

i think poland v argentina was one of the best games in the world cup in the first 45 szczesny masterclass saving a messi pen and being completly dominate and the madness cuz lewandowski tackled messi then messi got mad lol

Watched the final a day before a big exam. Ended up doing poorly on that exam but crushed the course in the next semester. I already forgot what was on that exam but will remember that match forever. Worth it

I watched every single match from this World Cup and man, i am so greatful that i did, i'm so thankful i got to witness that whole world cup from start to finish, some of those matches i will truly never forget, especially the final, that final was historic in every sense of the word.

Argentina was putting on banger after banger after banger throughout the tournament. Totally deserved champions🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷.

disagree on Belgium - Croatia, Lukaku's open goal misses were legendary

great video,would watch every video if you do it with every world cup

The final was craaazy, a true rollecoaster !!

the 2-3 serbia switzerland definitly s tier it was sensational 2 remontada in the same match both team equalise both teams take the lead what a match

Im Japanese and Costa Rican, group E was definitely a roller coaster for me 😭😭😭

Ngl watching the World Cup at school was a vibe

every japan game was A tier easily so much emotion and passion going into them and brazil vs croatia easily s tier so much emotion and intensity in every play from both sides other than that great vid.

I would say Saudi Arabia vs Mexico is an A tier due to the circumstances, intensity, and a beautiful free kick goal

7:00 Mexico didn´t think they were going through with the 2-0 lead. IIR they needed to score a goal as with the current lead they were going out on GF, when Saudi Arabia scored if they scored a goal Mexico would´ve still been through. (2-0 or 2-1 Mexico were out, 3-0 or 3-1 they were in)

Great vid, but Id argue that Serbia vs Switzerland has to be at least A tier. Deciding game for both teams, 5 goals, multiple lead changes and several moments where a massive brawl was inches away. Imo that was one of the best games of the tournament

amazinh video ty

Brazil vs Croatia should've been atleast A tier IMO

this dude is underrated

This is a great video

deserved game of the tournament for the last game of the world cup. I am fully convinced this game alone could become a movie someday. Absolutely astounding from from Argentina and France with pressure that is not seen often in sports.

0 Ball knowledge

Thing is, normally the finals of these tournaments aren't that amazing, often resulting in low scoring games that are kinda boring to watch. Not this time lmao, this time it was one of the greatest football matches that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. When Mbappe scored the first 2 goals, my heart sank, I wanted messi to get the world cup and when that happened I started to shit myself. Easy to say, it was such a roller coaster and it definitely should have the reputation of being one of the best football matches ever played.

Group E final game was so interesting that it had everything, emotional, the existential plays, the twist, and the drama 🤌🤌

Wow, this video was amazing

You forgot to mention how bad the ref was in Argentina vs Holland lol. Still the second best match imo

7:00 we were going home anyway, we needed 3-0 and we were 2-0. That overtime goal from saudi just sealed the deal.

Great video and great ranking! I would only change Brazil Croatia… move it to S tier🔥 that was a wild match and a wild ending! (would also maybe move Argentina Australia down to A tier)

Ur rankings r mad bro XD I mean to each his own, and obviously I have some bias favoring Ecuador, all three games were thrilling to me, esp Netherlands but the stalemate games in B tier? Spain/Morocco was NOT a B-tier to me. some stalemates/low-scoring games were very entertaining

To each their own, with some ratings I agree, with some I don't. In general I think you missed a littl the point of why football is the most popular sport on the planet, the close and tense games that can go either way (even if score is 0:0) or games with a lot of turns are easily more entertaining and fun to watch then 4-5-6 goals difference trashing unless it is a huge surprise (brazil-germany 1:7, spain-nederlands 1:5). The surprise of Morocco dominating Belgium is much better than spain beating CR 5 goals difference. Japan vs spain/germany were amazing games, bra-cro easily one of the best matches of tournament (top 3 probably), the tension behind serbia-switzerland (swi has players of kosovo origin so those 2 teams always have heated matches) and so on. Not everything is just a lot of goals, germany beat saudi arabia few years ago 8-1 (or smthing) and nobody would vote it as amazing game cause there was 0 tension in it. The point is, concentrate more on the tension and probability of the game being decided at any moment or turned around more than goals themselves ;)

Bro hates Morocco 😂

One of the greatest videos ever made

As an argentinian, what a rollercoaster! I watched all games, but I've never felt so much emotions during a tournament. The hope going in, the disbelief against SA, the releif with messi's goal against mexico. The sturggle against Netherlands in a match that looked in the bag. The absolute display agains Croatia. But the final... the final omg... When Kolomuani hit that ball I saw it in, and thought everything was lost once again, fromthat point onwards my energy level was at -50, it was too much to process.

Denmark - Tunisia was probably the best 0-0 match I've ever seen

With all the tension and all the goals Belgium missed, I would consider 🇭🇷 vs. 🇧🇪 to be the best 0-0 match in the tournament (after 🇭🇷 vs. 🇧🇷 , which was technically a 0-0 until the extra time, but the main match was even more exciting than the 🇧🇪 match).

watching this video now 7 months later really takes me back to how good of a game the final was. holy shit honestly an unimaginable amount of things on the line

The funny part of the Australia vs Argentina match was that after the match the entire team of Australia took a picture with messi
