England and Iran are meeting each other for the first time, and it promises to be intriguing. Especially also because the English national team, which reached the semi-finals in the previous World Cup final tournament but reached the final in the European Championship, has lost six matches in a row right before going to Qatar. Moreover, if we look back in history, the ambitious England managed to reach the World Cup only once – in 1966.
Iran’s football team ranks highest among Asian countries in the world ranking and is participating in the World Cup finals for the sixth time. It debuted in the final tournament in 1978 in Argentina.
32 national teams are competing for the World Cup, which are divided into eight groups in the first stage of the tournament and will play a round-robin tournament until December 2. The two best teams from each group will enter the elimination stage, which will end with the final on December 18.
