statement of the day
The coach of the United States, Gregg Berhalter, is not unaware of the political situation which weighs on the American adversary of this Tuesday, Iran. “When I think of this match, it’s a football match against a good team, nothing more“, first dismissed Berhalter, before specifying: “I don’t want to sound like we’re kidding by saying this, but the guys worked really hard for 4 years, we only had 72 hours between the England game and that one and so we are really focused on how to pass this round. Obviously, our thoughts are with the Iranian people, but our focus is on this game.»

Player to watch: Jude Bellingham (England)
Football fans have known him since his transfer from Birmingham to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2020 for €25m, when he had just turned 17. The general public is discovering it this winter. Jude Bellingham has established himself as a key element in the English midfield. He tormented Iran in the first game (6-2 victory), scoring his first goal with the Three Lions.
Colossal volume of play, ease with the ball, physical and technical qualities to eliminate his opponents and a great ability to project himself into the surface: from the top of his 86 meter, Bellingham has all the box-to-box that England adores . Doubts remain over Gareth Southgate’s starting XI. But Bellingham is not concerned.
