JAKARTA - The Qatar 2022 World Cup will give some players and the national team a chance to set new tournament records.

There are nine important statistics in the grand four-year tournament that we have compiled from the official FIFA website, some of which can be rewritten in November and December.

123No team has received as many World Cup yellow cards as Argentina (123) or as red cards as Brazil (11) since the cards were introduced in this tournament. Meanwhile, Uruguay, who received nine red cards, certainly hopes to avoid achieving double figures in Qatar so as not to match the Samba Team.

109Brazil and Germany have both played a tournament-high 109 matches at the FIFA World Cup, a record one of which can be taken straight away at Qatar 2022. Argentina will rise above Italy and take third place on this special list when they play Poland in the last game Group C, their 84th in Qatar. If they win all three Group C games, La Albiceleste will take their World Cup win tally to 46, leaving Team Tango one game ahead of Italy and into third place behind Brazil on 73 and Germany on 67.

70England will play their 70th World Cup match when they start Qatar's World Cup campaign against Iran, placing them fifth on the list. Meanwhile, the Netherlands will pass Sweden and enter the top ten when they face Ecuador, their 51st game at the world finals.

27Mexico have lost 27 World Cup finals and have played more games (57) than any country that has yet to win the competition. El Tri are also two goals away from conceding 100 times in the tournament, the third-highest number behind Germany with 125 and Brazil with 105.

20Only 11 players played 20 games or more in the World Cup finals. Just like Lionel Messi (Argentina), who is one more day away from reaching that mark, Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) could also join this selected group in Qatar 2022 if he makes three appearances for the Selecao.

19 Two more appearances will put Lionel Messi level with Argentine legend Diego Maradona's record 21 at the World Cup finals. If Messi and Argentina reach the final in Qatar 2022 and La Pulga plays in all seven games, he will join Lothar Matthaus with a tournament record of 26 appearances.

10 Didier Deschamps has coached France in 12 games at the World Cup finals, more than any of the 31 coaches who have qualified for Qatar 2022. One more win would give him ten points overall, this has only been achieved by six other coaches in the tournament's history: Helmut Schon, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Mario Zagallo, Joachim Low, Carlos Alberto Parreira and Oscar Tabarez.

4Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in four different World Cups, a feat shared by Pele, Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose. If the Portugal star scores in Qatar, he will be the only player to score five goals in five tournaments.

3In the last three tournaments, the reigning champions were eliminated in the group stages: Italy in South Africa 2010, Spain in Brazil 2014, and Germany in Russia 2018. How about France?
