Despite their gloomy qualification period, Singapore has been in the spotlight. They'll face Saudi Arabia in their opening game on June 11. Last time out, they were thrashed 5-0 by Uzbekistan. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, remained unbeaten and beat Yemen 1-0. Singapore has never played in the World Cup before and will be unable to do so at this year's edition.
A draw for the World Cup 2022 will be held on June 30 at 11pm Singapore time. Currently, 29 teams have qualified and the remaining will be decided by play-off rounds in June. The teams are segregated into four pots based on their world rankings. One team from each pot is picked for each group. Seedings for the draw are based on FIFA world rankings, with the host country receiving preferential treatment.
As for the other host countries, there are three: Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. They're the only countries to have two World Cups in the same country, but the Asian Championship takes place in the same city. Singapore will also host the 2023 Asian Cup. However, there's one more country that could host the tournament, which is Philippines. If the Philippines do win, the country will be able to host the tournament.
Singapore's match against Spain began on the same foot as the first one, with the teams playing the same game. In the first match, Spain's team won a lag and a second game. In the second game, Alcaide and Sanchez Ruiz played a plain but unconventional opening rack. While Alcaide and Sanchez Ruiz kept Singapore's momentum going, Lian Han scratched in the last frame after making two hooks. The match ended 7-6.
