Meshaal Barsham

ANALYSIS
Barsham should once again serve as Qatar's goalkeeper after making consistent appearances over the past few years. The 28-year-old combines solid shot-stopping quality with experience in high-profile international competitions, including the previous World Cup and multiple continental tournaments. While clean sheets may be difficult to come by against stronger opposition, he could remain somewhat relevant through sheer save volume. Despite his firm position in the lineup, he went through some struggles in the qualifying stage, where he stopped 54 percent of all shots on target he faced.
