🏆👉 England and Iran meeting for the first time. The party is all for England crushing Iran on Monday 21 November 2022 in the FIFA World Cup Group B at the Khalifa International Stadium. Six goals for England, three per fraction and with five different scorers. On the other hand, thanks to Mehdi Taremi’s brace, Iran will be able to have its say in the upcoming matches from an offensive point of view. Iran has failed to stem the opposing offensive, suffering from its speed and aerial play.
England start the World Cup on top, scoring six goals against Iran. After a slow start, Southgate’s team makes the most of the accelerations of their wingers and dead ball situations. Harry Kane with two assists today. The England captain Kane with two assists today has as many assists as Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo does in 17 World Cup appearances.
A negative stat for Iran who has never made it past the first round of the World Cup, winning just two out of 15 games (against the USA in 1998 and against Morocco in 2018). This is their sixth participation in the tournament, the third in a row. England recorded the best goal difference in the group stage of European qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, scoring 39 goals and conceding just three (+36).
- No Italian Serie A players in this game.

✅ Stats before the game: This will be the first-ever meeting between England and Iran. The Islamic Republic has never beaten European sides at the World Cup (D2 L6). England qualified for the World Cup for the 16th time. It is his seventh consecutive participation, his longest streak in the competition. England are the only European team to have reached the semi-finals in each of the last two major international tournaments (World Cup + European). 12 of England’s last 18 World Cup goals have come from set pieces. In fact, 75% of his goals in 2018 came from stoppage situations (9 out of 12). Iran have scored just nine goals in 15 World Cup games: 0.6, the worst per game average for any nation that has played more than 10 games in the competition. He has scored more than once in a single match, in a 2-1 win over the United States in 1998.
