2022 World Cup Group B: England Depak Wales, Iran Lifts Her Wife
JAKARTA - The match for determining Group B of the 2022 Qatar World Cup between Wales vs England on Wednesday morning WIB ended 0-3 for the Three Lions victory. Meanwhile, Iran vs. United States ended 0-1.
With this result, England will face Senegal and the US serve the Netherlands in the round of 16.
Gareth Southgate included Phil Foden as one of the starters to be one of the four changes in the Inggis squad for the 'battle of Britain' match against Wales.
Foden replaces Bukayo Saka on the right wing, while Marcus Rashford replaces Raheem Sterling. Jordan Henderson also entered the starting line-up replacing Mason Mount, while Kyle Walker replaced Kieran Trippier in the right back position.
Wales coach Rob Page, meanwhile, also changed three line-up positions by bringing in Daniel James to replace Conor Roberts and Joe Allen replacing Harry Wilson. Meanwhile, Danny Ward replaced goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey who was hit by a red card in the previous match.
Wales must beat England while hoping the US and Iran play a draw to qualify for the last 16. However, the Dragons had to play under pressure from Gareth Southgate's children even though the first half ended goalless.
The second half went four minutes, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford gave England a 1-0 lead with a free kick. One minute later, Phil Foden added to the Three Lions' lead after receiving Harry Kane's delicious pass.
