England takes off like a shot against Iran

England was not delayed, which took off like a shot in Qatar.

She melted down Iran with a considerable spanking, iron fist, stick to stick.

A defensive overweight was of no use to the Persian team.

Her offensive squad helped England a lot.

She didn't need to play, it was enough to attack.

The rest was taken care of by the team of Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, surprisingly naive for being the oldest in the tournament.

And Queiroz himself does not lack a journey, with four World Cups in his backpack, just one behind the record of Brazilian Carlos Alberto Parreira.

As a closing, the umpteenth stupidity of that artifact that is the VAR in the hands of who knows who.

For the 6-2, in the last thousandth of the match, a penalty that was a diminutive of a penalty, or even less.

Delirious times, times of glory for the increasingly copious arbitration squad.

It turns out that the sector that should be the most transparent and precise in the racket is the most babelic.

Of traca.

The duel began with unequivocal gestures.

Knee on the ground of the English and silence from the Iranian players, mute when the anthem played.

No to racism and no to the Iranian regime after the death of the young Kurdish woman Masha Amini.

After the eloquent introductions, football was slow in coming.

The match started off rough.

All in a minefield.

Everyone collided, the staff constantly went to the canvas, knotted each other.

Football in a playground.

Until Beiranvand, goalkeeper of the Persian team, collapsed.

A blow with his comrade Hosseini left him sounding, very sounding, for about a quarter of an hour.

The boy tried to pull himself together, but he fell apart.

Shortly after, the entire Iranian team would do so, overwhelmed in a jiffy by the rival charge.

End of the contest.

Gareth Southgate ordered a 4-2-3-1, with Rice and Bellingham supporting in the midfield cabinet, Mount hooking with Kane and Saka and Sterling as aspirants on the flanks.

Faced with an adversary encased with five guardians and four brigades ahead, England had a hard time finding the outcome.

It was marked by Maguire, a most shocking central defender with a thick lining: he is better near someone else's goal than his own.

Half an hour later, with the match still very pedestrian, the United captain caught a header on the fly that hit the crossbar of the Queiroz team.

The route was aerial.

Instantly, Bellingham nailed it for 1-0.

Upside down, of course.

And immediately, Saka made it 2-0 with an assist from Maguire's header, of course.

Also through the air, Kane won an assault that led to 3-0, fastened by a complex shot from Sterling.

Iran, tense and melted.

Nothing to do with the selection that in Russia 2018 almost caused a blowout to Spain and Portugal.

She only looked for the trench and did it with altar boys, nothing to do with the ageism that means it.

Queiroz intervened at halftime and during a stretch he reduced the defense to four in a row.

He did not care, the martyrdom continued.

This England is distinguished by its arsenal.

Southgate has a more than remarkable battery of forwards to join Kane.

The captain is also someone outside the area.

The same as his partners within him.

In fact, in the rout against Iran he did not wet Kane, unlike Sterling, Saka, Bellingham, Rashford and Grealish.

Any day Foden or Mount will.

And Kane, obviously.

Such is the battalion that after relieving the four attackers the torrent of goals was maintained.

It happens that Southgate has to do fine so that the team does not break down.

He has the very competent Rice and the emerging Bellingham as anchors, but England will have to be measured when the summits arrive and they have to roll up their sleeves in defence.

Against Iran, his punch was enough.

From behind it is intuited that she is left over.

By air and by land.

When the second act arrived, he no longer required Maguire's recipe.

Saka, a 21-year-old imp, sent the entire Iranian defense, expectant rather than reactive, to the ground and sealed the 4-0.

There was also an Iranian walk for the fifth and sixth.

For Taremi, the only consolation from Iran was left with two crumbs.

The Porto striker scored both goals.

The first very well articulated.

The second, a drift of arbitration nonsense.

Those on duty were given to explore one of the thousands of hooks that occur in the areas.

Go find out why.

The worst thing is that they will not explain it.

And if it did, it could be worse.

A thousand different versions would be heard.

By then the English and Iranians were already sighing to lower the curtain.

The same as the people in the stands, with a cold air conditioner when it was 26 degrees outside.

Things from this unusual World Cup in which England, one of the leaders, pulled muscle.

Iran had nothing to say on the pitch.

Yes, she did it in the preamble, there she did leave her mark and did to win her most important game, the one that settles her people.
