The World Cup is coming to the end of its first week, as the teams competing head into their second game of the tournament. Just six days in, there has been no shortage of drama, with a series of screamers and some shocking upsets making this controversial competition one to remember.
Following England’s 6-2 thrashing of Iran on Monday, and their clash against the USA on Friday, the Three Lions make their way through the tournament as one of a handful of favourites. Group B rivals Wales suffered a devastating defeat on Friday, as goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey’s red card led to a 2-0 loss against Iran, leaving their fate hanging in the balance.
England will be hoping to emulate their success from their previous campaign, and have a strong chance of topping their group as they make their way towards the last 16. Topping the group will set Gareth Southgate’s men up with a clash against the runner-up from Group A – likely to be Senegal, the Netherlands or Ecuador.
