The first match of the group stage at the World Cup can be very important for many national teams, especially for the favorites. If they do not achieve a good result in the first match, they will play under great pressure in the remaining two matches in the group and without the right to make a mistake. This is exactly the case with England, who can be satisfied that they will play the first game of the tournament against Iran. In addition to these two teams, there are also the USA and Wales in the group, and certainly Iran is the weakest team in the group. The potential surprise of this group could be the USA, which has a very solid team and it will not be easy for the English in their match. That's why they have to take Iran seriously and give their best at the opening of the tournament. England has a really fantastic national team that is made up of a mix of experienced players and exceptional young players. They are regular participants of the World Cup and have six wins in the last seven first games in the group. There is no doubt that they will want to open this tournament with a victory. It must be said that they did not play well during the last Nations League cycle, but like a large number of national teams, they did not take this competition as seriously as possible. The World Cup is something completely different and we will certainly see a much better England. They showed their quality at the last European Championship when they reached the final where they lost to Italy on penalties. They will definitely want to try to repeat that result and the best way to boost morale is to win this match. The center of attention will certainly be Harry Kane, who will want to defend the title of the best scorer from the previous World Cup, but besides him, England has a huge number of top players. Saka, Sterling and Foden are just some of the players who will cause a lot of problems for the opponents with their penetrations on the sideline, Bellingham can employ his colleagues from the attack with just one move and throw out the entire defense of the opponent.

Experience and quality are definitely on the side of the English, but they have to prove it on the field. Iran comes to this World Cup as the best-placed team in Asia in the FIFA ranking, but that will not be of much help to them in the tournament. In their team there are many well-known individuals such as Taremi from Porto, Jahanbakhsh from Feyenoord and Azmoun from Bayer Leverkusen and without a doubt all the attention of the English defense will be focused on them. For many other players from Iran, this will be their first participation in the World Cup and the question is how they will manage in a duel with some of the best players of today. This will be Iran's sixth participation in the world championship, but they are yet to make it out of the group phase. Overall, their record at the World Cup is extremely poor, having registered just 2 wins from 15 group games so far. This is perhaps the most noticeable difference in the quality of the teams, and it is a clear indicator that to be successful in a tournament like this, you need to have much more than 3 or 4 quality individuals in the team. As before every big competition, the euphoria in England is huge, so this time the fans believe that their team can reach the very top. A good part of that euphoria is shared by the players themselves, who will want to let everyone know at the very beginning of the tournament that they must seriously count on them.

世界杯小组赛的第一场比赛对很多国家队来说都非常重要，尤其是对夺冠热门球队来说。如果他们在第一场比赛中没有取得好成绩，他们将在小组剩下的两场比赛中承受巨大的压力，没有犯错的权利。英格兰队的情况正是如此，他们可以满意地看到他们将在本届杯赛的第一场比赛对阵伊朗。除了这两支球队，小组中还有美国队和威尔士队，当然伊朗队是小组中最弱的。这个小组的潜在惊喜可能是美国队，他们有一支非常坚实的球队，在他们的比赛中，英国人不会轻松。这就是为什么他们必须认真对待伊朗，在比赛的开幕式上拿出最好的表现。英格兰有一支非常出色的国家队，由经验丰富的球员和出色的年轻球员组成。他们是世界杯的常客，在小组前7场比赛中取得了6胜。毫无疑问，他们想要以一场胜利来开赛。必须说的是，他们在上个国家联赛周期踢得并不好，但就像很多国家队一样，他们并没有把这个比赛当回事。世界杯是完全不同的，我们肯定会看到一个更好的英格兰。他们在上一届欧洲杯上展示了他们的实力，当时他们进入了决赛，但在点球大战中输给了意大利。他们肯定会想要重复这样的结果，而提高士气的最好方法就是赢得这场比赛。人们关注的焦点当然是哈里·凯恩，他想要卫冕上届世界杯最佳射手的头衔，但除了他，英格兰还有大量的顶级球员。萨卡、斯特林和福登在边线上的突破会给对手带来很多麻烦，贝灵汉可以用一个动作就能从进攻端调动他的同事，打破对手的整个防守。

经验和质量绝对是英格兰队的优势，但他们必须在赛场上证明这一点。伊朗队在本届世界杯上是国际足联在亚洲排名最好的球队，但这对他们在比赛中不会有多大帮助。在他们的球队中有许多著名的球员，如波尔图的塔雷米，费耶诺德的贾汉巴克什和勒沃库森的阿兹蒙，毫无疑问，英格兰后卫的所有注意力都将集中在他们身上。对于其他许多来自伊朗的球员来说，这将是他们第一次参加世界杯，问题是他们将如何与当今最好的一些球员决斗。这将是伊朗队第六次参加世锦赛，但他们还没有从小组阶段出线。总的来说，他们在世界杯上的战绩非常糟糕，迄今为止的15场小组赛只取得了2胜。这可能是球队质量上最明显的差异，这是一个明确的指标，要在这样的比赛中取得成功，你需要有超过3或4个优秀的人在球队中。就像以往的每一场大赛一样，英格兰球迷的兴奋是巨大的，所以这一次球迷们相信他们的球队可以达到顶峰。球员们自己也分享了这种兴奋，他们希望在比赛一开始就让所有人知道，他们必须认真地依靠他们。
