Fifa World Cup 2022- Today's match program and analysis
With three very interesting matches, the action continues at the World Cup in Qatar. In Group 1, Senegal faces the Netherlands, while in Group 2, England faces Iran and the USA faces Wales.
See today's program in detail:
15:00 England - Iran (2nd group), (Khalifa International Stadium, Doha)
England and Iran open the curtain on the second day of the World Cup held in Qatar. The "Lions" enter the competition with high aspirations and both in tonight's game and in their Group they are the favorites for the first place. Gareth Southgate's team reached the finals of this year's World Cup by impressing in the qualifiers, which they finished undefeated (8 wins, 2 draws) and with goals of 39-3, in a group with Poland, Albania, Hungary, Andorra and San Marino. Out of action for England were the injured Walker and Madison.
On the other hand, the big underdog of the group is Iran against teams such as England, Wales and USA. They are the favourites to finish in last place in the group and aim to disprove it. With Carlos Queiroz returning to the bench after leaving in 2019, he hopes to go the extra mile from previous appearances. On the pitch for Iran, Leverkusen striker Sardar Azmoun is not at 100% and will hardly play. It should be noted that the two countries have never met before.
18:00 Senegal – Netherlands (1st group), (Al-Thumama Stadium, Doha)
After Qatar and Ecuador and the comfortable victory of the "tricolors", Senegal and the Netherlands are thrown into the battle - on Monday afternoon (21/11, 18:00) - that completes the program of the 1st game of the first group of the World Cup. Essentially, the two favorites of the Group are saying it to qualify for the next stage. Senegal is present at the World Cup for the second time in a row and third in its history. They are certainly a team with tremendous talent, but the question that arises is whether the long absence of Sadio Manet will affect Aliu Manet's band.
After the absence from the previous World Cup, the Netherlands returns to the stadiums of Qatar in this great football event, always aiming to star and reach the end. The architect Luis Van Haal restored stability, calmness and above all enthusiasm to the ranks of the team, which comfortably passed the qualifiers and made their ensemble "oranie". On the field, the Oranje can't count on Memphis Depay who is a significant absence.
21:00 USA – Wales (Group 2), (Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Al-Rayyan)
The U.S. is returning to major competitions as they were absent from the 2018 World Cup. They will participate in the World Cup for the 11th time, while they have gone to Qatar with very good psychology, since in the summer of 2020 and then they have won the Nations League and the Gold Cup. The main goal is to pass, even as 2nd from the group stage and to prepare for the next World Cup which they will host in the United States.
Wales return to World Cup... after 64 years and this is a great achievement for the country. This is the 2nd time he has taken part in the World Cup, while he arrived in Qatar with negative results since in the last five matches he has not won. It enters the group battle and its chances with the USA are equal for qualification to the next stage which is of course its goal.
