Iran was not expected to have a major defeat against England (2:6). It is too early to draw far-reaching conclusions about the readiness of the British. In our opinion, they are the favorites of the group, but not of the entire championship. There are quite a few teams at the tournament with a richer, brighter playing style.

The Iranians changed their head coach on the eve of the World Cup, formally obstructing the former coach. By the way, he led the team to the final stage of the world championship.

The situation in the country also affected morale. The national team players, in protest against the harsh suppression of unrest, refused to sing the anthem before the match.

Footballers from Iran were also depressed by the injury of their main goalkeeper.

However, we will not “bury” the Iranians; they, unlike Qatar, have potential.

Will it be implemented further?

The near future will tell.

The Iran-US game seems especially poignant in light of current political events. America, by the way, has a good team. But Iran is unlikely to yield to the States so resignedly. And, perhaps, in this confrontation the fate of second place in the group will be decided. Although it is unlikely that the Wales team will agree to the role of an extra, having the amazing forward Bale in their lineup.

Let’s watch Senegal – Netherlands! This may turn out to be more interesting than the previous two meetings combined.
