In the first near full day of fixtures we had
five of our teams in action.
In Group A we have three of the four
teams in this group. After the opening game, SENEGAL lost 2-0 to HOLLAND in a bit of
a dull game. Hollands goals came in the 84th minute from Gakpo and
then in the last minute of the game from Klassen. Holland have been in seven
out of our nine World Cups and they were last in Brazil 2014 where they
finished with a total of 11 goals and 13 votes. They have a total of 15 votes
in Qatar and are second favourites to win the cup. Senegal are in their second
World Cup with Golden Goals.
They first appeared in the Russia 2018 with just one vote and did not go beyond
the first group stage. They finished with a total of 4 goals. So after all of
the group have played their first games,
ECUADOR are joint top with HOLLAND with 3 points each. SENEGAL are third place with the host nation Qatar last in the group.
In Group B we have three of the four teams. ENGLAND go top of the group after they won 6-2 against Iran. England’s six goals came from Bellingham 35’ Saka 43’ and 62’ Rashford 71’ and Greahlish 90’. England have been in all except for the 1994 where they failed to qualify. In the last World Cup they finished with their biggest total of goals with 12 and they made it to the 3rd/4th play-offs. They have a total of 15 votes this time round. In the other game USA took on WALES and drew 1-1. The USA dominated the first half. But it took them 36 minutes to score their goal by Weah. Wales did come out fighting in the second half and they got a penalty in the 82nd minute for Bale to drive it home. USA are in their fifth World Cup with Golden Goals and they just one vote. They were last in Brazil 2014 and finished with a total of 5 goals. Wales have made their first appearance in our World Cup competition.
England lead the group with 3 points, USA and Wales are in joint second place both with a point each. Iran are in fourth place.
So after the second days play we have had six of our teams that have played and they have scored a total of 12 goals between them.
