The 2022 World Cup in Qatar entered its second day today (Monday), which opened with the intriguing meeting between England and Iran.
The European runner-up hopes to avoid a sensation in its opening game, when it also came to this tournament with high expectations and dreams of a second win in its history and first since 1966. Gareth Southgate is missing his injured defenders Reece James and Ben Chilwell, and today also Kyle Walker and James Madison.
Kieran Trippier started as a right back in a 4:3:3 formation, Harry Maguire who had a bad start to the season at Manchester United received the credit in defense, prodigy Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount and Declan Rice will try to hold the link and in the offensive part Bokayo Saka and Raheem Sterling were placed Alongside Harry Kane, with Phil Foden waiting on the bench.
On the other hand, Iran recorded a very impressive qualifying campaign when they won eight out of ten games and conceded only four goals, and they come to the World Cup from the 20th place in the world in the FIFA rankings. Just two months ago, they changed coach - the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz unexpectedly returned for a second term and records the fourth World Cup in his career. The Iranians will hope to cause a big surprise and make it through the group stage for the first time in their history, with Sardar Azmon, a Bayer Leverkusen striker who had slight doubts about his fitness, remaining on the bench.
