The 2022 World Cup is just around the corner and wall charts will be pinned up around the globe.

With each and every tournament, football fans like to get a good idea of how things might play out by slapping that good old knockout round tree on their bedroom wall and tracing how their beloved nation might make it all the way to the final.

The groups are all locked in, of course, but there's still plenty of room for imagination as to how the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals might line up ahead of the big decider on December 18.

Speaking to Jason Burt on the Telegraph's YouTube channel and using their fantastic predictor tool, Carragher went through every single group, ranking all four nations in each and then calling all of the knockout ties it produced.

Which fixtures might happen?

Well, you'd hardly be complaining if Carragher's forecast came true because to say that's a staggering set of fixtures would be the mother of all understatements.

It would, after all, be an absolute dream if Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were to meet in the final of what will surely be a final World Cup for the both of them, slugging it out head-to-head in the quest for them to add the biggest trophy of all to their claim in the GOAT debate.
