　　Group B: Iran 0:1 USA; Wales 0:3 England

　　The results of the two games in Group B are reasonable, but for Asian fans, Iran's exit is still a great pity.

　　After losing 2:6 to England in the first game, the Iranian team defeated Wales 2:0 in the second round and regained the initiative. If they win this game, they will advance.

　　The "Three Lions", which has accumulated 4 points and has 4 goal differences, as long as they don't lose by a big score in this campaign, they will have no worries about qualifying.

The Welsh team with only 1 point can only hope to advance if they win.

In the past 38 years, the "European Red Dragon" has never defeated the England team in an international competition.

　　The course of the game turns predictions into reality.

The overall strength of the England team is clearly in control of the situation on the field. Although they gained momentum and failed to score in the first half, several threatening shots have paved the way for a climax in the second half.

　　In the 50th minute, the England team got a free kick, and Manchester United's "Sharp Knife" Rashford scored directly with a "World Wave".

Only 1 minute later, the "post-00" teenager Foden expanded the results for the England team.

In the 68th minute, Rashford scored twice, which was also England's 100th goal in the World Cup. The 25-year-old "Master La" also joined the competition for the top scorer of this cup with 3 goals ranks.

　　The England team finally won a 3:0 victory and got the first place in the group as they wished; the US team came from behind and advanced to the top 16.

In the 1/8 finals, the England team will face the Senegal team, and the US team will challenge the Netherlands team.
