England lost the final of UEFA EURO 2020 and will be hoping to replicate a similar trajectory at the FIFA World Cup. Harry Kane led England are the favourites to progress to the knockout stages in Group B but their first test comes against Carlos Queiroz’s Iran.
After the first two teams locked horns yesterday in Group A, Netherlands and Senegal will see each other in what promises to be a feisty clash.
The Lions of Teranga will be without their star man Sadio Mane which instantly reduces their threat on the pitch. After missing out on the 2019 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands make a return to the major tournament with an hope of going deep in the tournament.
USA return to the FIFA World Cup after missing out in 2018 and their opening fixture is against a determined Wales who return to the World Cup after an absence of 64 years, with last and only appearance coming in 1958.
