World Cup: After relative success in Qatar, the United States must insist that getting out of the group stage will be more important

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 8, 2022
The USMNT could view holding England to a stalemate and kicking it out of the company's Qatar a relative success, but with a roster full of young, developing talent, that is no longer good enough. Sportsmail examined American soccer fans' honest assessment of their hopes before the World Cup began. With uncertainty in the team going into the tournament, it was difficult to know what would happen for the United States as they faced Wales, England, and Iran. What we saw was a team that dominated in the midfield, remained relatively solid in defense, and, despite a lack of quality attacking opportunities, it remained threatening. It led to their third straight appearance in the Round of 16 in World Cups, which they have qualified for since 2006.

BRAD FRIEDEL: The United States is where they want to be in the World Cup. But Queiroz, the Iranian coach, will ruin it

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 29, 2022
BRAD FRIEDEL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM: The USA team will awakened in Qatar on Saturday morning and looks really good. They are exactly where they want to be, with their World Cup fate in their own hands. They know they played really well against England, a tournament favorite and one of the top teams in terms of global media coverage. Right now, USMNT is getting a lot of good coverage around the world. I'd imagine practicing on Saturday with the players who didn't play would have been very strong and fierce as they try to recruit into a team that is doing well. People will be upbeat and joyful, and those will be brimming with optimism.

Fans of the Pro-Regime Iranian national team are looking for anti-government supporters outside the Qatar stadium

Several political topics have cast a pall over the tournament, with the tumultuous lives of the Iranian people putting the Iranian people into sharp focus during both their matches - against England on Monday and Wales today. The Iranian players sang along to their national anthem before the match against Wales, unlike those in England's first match against England. However, there were scenes outside the stadium, where some pro-government Iran supporters confiscated Persian pre-revolutionary flags from supporters entering the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

After refusing to do so in their first match, Iran's football team sang their country's national anthem ahead of their World Cup match against Wales in Qatar on Saturday. Following pressure from the Islamic regime, Iran's participants seemed to have retaliated from their resistance. Players remained hushed before their kick-off against England in their first group game on Monday, with booing filling the ground. Their recent decision not to sing was a sign of sympathy with demonstrators in their home country, hundreds of whom have been killed in clashes with government security forces over Mahsa Amini's death - a woman who died in prison after being arrested by the Tehran's morality police.

After the press conference, former Manchester United No. 2 Queiroz approached Khalil (left) and said: "I'm asking you one thing right now." Why don't you ask questions to other coaches about other cultures? That's only fair. Why don't you ask Southgate: 'What do you think about England and the United States that left Afghanistan and all the women alone?' A throng of journalists descended on Khalil as she defended her right to ask these questions before Queiroz eventually left the room.

MARTIN SAMUEL: After England's victory over Iran, Argentina's tumultuous shows we are not going to the top

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 22, 2022
MARTIN SAMUEL CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: We're adamant when England brought six people over Iran in their first World Cup game. It could be a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia. It could be a draw. It could be a nail-biting fight for a victory. It was none of those things for England. Does it mean the World Cup is in Gareth Southgate's grasp? No, not really. It's a game against Iran. Argentina's loss in Lusail on Tuesday demonstrated what can go wrong, and what often does go wrong for major teams and players in major tournaments.

In the first four World Cup games, new FIFA policies resulted in more than an hour of added time

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 22, 2022
During the first two games of the Qatar tournament, more than an hour was added (left) on average. This phenomenon has arisen due to FIFA rules aimed at improving playing time and avoiding time wasting, as described by France Info. Pierluigi Collina (inset), the current chairman of the FIFA referees committee, had argued before the game that the ruling body is aiming for more ball-in-play time. We want to stop matches at 42, 43, 44 minutes from the playing time,' he said. So the times of substitutions, penalties, holidays, medical care, or, obviously VAR, will have to be compensated'.

ROB DRAPER'S TACTICAL BREAKDOWN: Nailing set-pieces, dominating wide, and Harry Kane's two assists

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 21, 2022
ROB DRAPER: Gareth Southgate's tenure as England manager was under scrutiny with the national team's track as they entered the World Cup, but the doubters were discredited with a near-perfect tactical performance as they secured their first game. England defeated Iran 6-2 at the Khalifa International Stadium, with a lookout for Bukayo Saka and goals for Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, and Jack Grealish. Although two goals for Iran were stripped off after England's comprehensive win, Southgate's World Cup triumph was nevertheless largely a tactical triumph.

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 21, 2022
Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, Gareth Southgate's wonderkids, scored three goals at the Khalifa Stadium in Doha. In a spectacular show, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, and Jack Grealish grabbed the other three. As he returned to nod it home after a cross from Manchester United's Luke Shaw, Birmingham-born Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Bellingham, 19, sent thousands of fans in the stadium wild and millions at home. After Michael Owen in 1998, he made history by becoming the second teenager to score in a World Cup for England. Saka, 21, smashed home a left foot shot off the crossbar a few minutes later. Sterling, 27, blasted in a volley after captain Harry Kane's cross, effectively winning the game before halftime. Saka scored his fourth goal, his second, with an hour on the clock, converting it into the goal after a tumultuous run. He was the youngest England player to score two goals at a World Cup. Gareth Southgate's team would not be able to boast a clean sheet, however, Iran striker Mehdi Taremi stumbling back England with a brutal attack over Pickford. Marcus Rashford scored and restored a four-goal lead to make it 5-1. Jack Grealish made it 6-1 with a minute to go, doing 'the worm' as a commemoration after a promise to an 11-year-old Manchester City fan with cerebral palsy. Jack's sister has the same illness. With the last kick of the game, John Stones was found to have pulled Taremi's shirt off, which then sent Pickford the wrong way to reduce the deficit to 6-2.

England must watch out for five Iran stars in their World Cup opener including Porto's Mehdi Taremi

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 25, 2022
Carlos Queiroz, the former manager of Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson, has galvanized them. Here are five players who may pose a threat if they meet England first up in Doha. Mehdi Taremi, Forward. Iran's biggest threat and their top player are their two main targets. The No. 9 has consistently scored and assisted goals over the last three seasons at Porto, and although he is best known for his bicycle-kick finish against Chelsea in the 2020-21 Champions League, he also brought the best out of Luis Diaz before the Colombian left Porto for Liverpool last season. Taremi was able to assist in establishing a fruitful collaboration. In Doha, the 30-year-old will probably play on the right of a threesome, running on to knock-downs from 6ft 1in target man Sardar Azmoun.

Iran 1-0 Uruguay: England's World Cup foes send a stern warning by defeating star-studded Uruguay

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 23, 2022
Gareth Southgate's players face a tough opposition 58 days from now as they defeated a solid Uruguay team, showing that England's first World Cup group stage opponents, Iran, showed that Gareth Southgate's players face a serious threat 58 days from now. Mehdi Taremi, a consistent threat to Porto for many years, was the winner of a slick passing move that exemplified Iran's technical proficiency. Brentford's Saman Ghoddos, who hasn't had no Premier League games this season, stood out. He had flicked a ball over Martin Cáceres to run further down the right and launched a deft return pass from which left-sided forward Mehdi Torabi should have scored before initiating the attack, which resulted in the goal.
