Predictions and opportunities for England, the United States, Wales and Iran

EnglandAnd the United StateAnd the welsh And the Iran form Group B affiliate Qatar World Cup 2022. One of the favorites, the reigning world champion, seems to have taken first place, while the second pass to the round of 16 is very even.

Anything can happen in this situation. The North American team has great individual names like Sergiño Dest or the great character of Christian Pulisic, but the CONCACAF qualifiers didn’t end well. The Three Dragons qualified from the UEFA qualifiers and the Asians were top of Group A in their continent’s qualifiers.

England

Although they had to wait until the last day for sporting reasons, the Three Lions qualified for the World Cup unbeaten, winning Group A of the European Qualifiers by 26 units in eight wins and two draws.

Closing with the boom was an impressive 10-0 win over San Marino at the Serravalle Olympic Stadium. At the same time, Poland lost 1-2 to Hungary and was relegated to the playoffs.

With big and young names like Declan Rice, Mason Mount, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka as well as the attacking experience of Harry Kane, the English arrived in the Middle East hungry for revenge after losing the Euro 2020 final to Italy on penalties at Wembley.

United State

The USMNT is landing in Qatar with a generation that will likely only peak at the 2026 World Cup which it will host alongside Canada and Mexico. However, he has his chances in 2022.

The region did not leave the Stars and Stripes team in such poor light, which similarly did not close the CONCACAF qualifiers in the best way: they lost 0-2 against Costa Rica and finished with the same number of points (25). Ticos, who entered the intercontinental qualifiers and qualified.

In key duels, the Yankees weren’t as assertive: they only beat Mexico 2-0 at home, but they suffered the same score against Don Tre as the visitors, and against the Canadians, it was par and defeat.

In recent friendlies, the United States tied 0-0 against Saudi Arabia and lost to Japan.

After 1958, the Red Dragons are back in football’s greatest event. Led by Gareth Bale, the Welshmen are dissatisfied and have something to believe in.

Passing to the eighth is possible. The British will have a duel with their neighboring island like England, a particular match that will surpass the sporting performance of both teams. The key will be in the confrontation against the United States.

Iran

In terms of names and collective status, Asians appear in this Group B as the classic “Cinderella” of the region. But are they really? At least he can’t be trusted.

The Princes of Persia already know what it means to confront powerhouses in the World Cup: in Brazil 2014, the Argentine national team barely managed to win 1-0 with a goal from Lionel Messi in extra time.

Iran qualified for Qatar 2022 as Group A leaders and lost only one match against South Korea when they already qualified for the World Cup. Also in his region: the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
