Good afternoon and welcome to the first day of group 3 of the Nations League, competition that serves as an appetizer to open our mouths for the World Cup in Qatar that will begin in November. In an hour it will start Hungary-England which will be held at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. The Magyar team makes its debut in the highest category of the Nations League after having signed two consecutive promotions from League C to League A, while England, for its part, has always participated at the highest level of the competition.
Both teams know each other perfectly since last year they met twice during the qualifying group stage for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The clashes ended with a draw (1-1) at Wembley and with an overwhelming victory for England (0-4) at the Puskás Aréna, a stadium where today the faces will be seen again going through completely different situations. England arrives at the meeting with the ticket to the next World Cup under his arm, while Hungary will have to settle for watching from the sofa what happens in Qatar.
Marco Rossi’s men will count on their fans to try to break a streak of nine matches without beating Gareth Southgate’s team. They have not succeeded since the 1962 World Cup played in Chile, six decades ago. Today they will entrust Dominik Szoboszlai, a Leipzig footballer who has scored ten goals this season, to break such a bad dynamic. But in front of him will be a devourer of the area such as Harry Kane who has scored thirteen goals in the last twelve games with his team and has scored a whopping 26 goals this season with his team. What more can you ask of the party?
