England begin their quest to end the wait for World Cup success today (Monday, December 21) as they face Iran in their Group B opener.
Carlos Queiroz's side romped to World Cup qualification in the AFC Section of the qualifiers but will be looking to pull off one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history when they meet this afternoon.
It is the fourth World Cup finals that Iran have featured in but have picked up just two wins across the competition. During the 2018 finals, they needed a stoppage-time penalty from Aziz Bouhaddouz.
