Missing the World Cup action already? Don't worry, you can already bet on the 2022 edition.

Only hours after France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the 2018 World Cup final, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook opened odds on the 2022 tournament, which will be held in Qatar.

Five-time World Cup champion Brazil opens as 6-1 favorites, followed by France at +650 and 2014 World Cup winner Germany at 7-1. Runner-up Croatia opened with 30-1 odds, while third-place Belgium has 12-1 odds.

The United States, which didn't qualify for a World Cup for the first time since 1986, opened as 60-1 long shots (16th-best odds).

Host nation Qatar automatically qualifies and has odds of 150-1.

The two countries with the longest odds are Georgia and Guatemala (each 2,000-1).
