The top talent from across the world take center stage. Let’s take a look at our top picks for Monday’s 2022 World Cup games.
England vs. Iran (Group B)
The second match of the 2022 World Cup will take place in Al Rayyan, at Khalifa International Stadium, at 8 a.m. EST on Monday, November 21. It will be the first match from Group B when England takes on Iran. The English are heavy favorites to win Group B and are among the favorites to win the entire tournament (+800). As for Iran, let’s just focus on the fact that it was an impressive run for them to get to this point. England has waited since 1966 to hoist the World Cup trophy, but they are always a threat to go on a deep run, which is expected of them here yet again. Iran is appearing in the World Cup for the sixth time and their third consecutive time. They have yet to make it out of the group stage, and their expectations aren’t much this time, given the group they drew. The United States and Wales are both candidates to be eliminated; the only problem is they will be eliminated by each other, not by Iran. Iran may steal some points in helping decide who leaves with them, though!
