The World Cup is in full swing Monday, with three games featuring high-profile squads making their debuts in Qatar. First, star-studded England, a contender to win its first world title since 1966, takes on Iran in Group B. Follow our live updates:
Can Iran finally find its way out of the group stage? The nation has qualified for six World Cups — including five of the past seven and three in a row — but never made it past the first round. After a third-place finish at the 2019 Asian Cup and a stellar World Cup qualifying campaign, Iran may be on the cusp of breaking through.
The Iranians have notched just two wins in their World Cup history: A 2-1 victory over the United States in 1998 and a 1-0 result against Morocco four years ago. Iran also had a respectable 1-0 loss to Spain and played Portugal to a 1-1 draw, leaving it just short of a place in the knockout round. Iran secured its 2022 World Cup spot by going 8-1-1 in the final round of Asia’s World Cup qualifying, edging South Korea for first place in Group A.
