On November 21, the passionate World Cup group stage B first round, England and Iran duel is in full swing. England took a 3-0 lead over Iran at halftime, a score that immediately sparked heated debate in media circles:
The media mogul said plainly: England has easily locked the three-ball advantage at halftime, their intensive defense is like a textbook, Iran in the corner kicks and headers have no power to fight back. Bellingham's ball skills, whether physical quality, technology or awareness, are significantly better than the Iranian defense players; Sacca's attack is like a nuclear explosion, unparalleled; Sterling's rapid counterattack is to show its personal wit and the team's sharpness. Once England breaks their opponents' iron barrel formation, the game could get out of hand in an instant. I predict they will win by at least two more goals, and that's a conservative estimate.
Famous commentator Huang Jianxiang said: Asian teams have shown their strength to the world, and the next World Cup is expected to expand to 48 teams, with at least 8 Asian teams participating. What will be the quality of such a tournament?
Another media personality, Rumi, happened to see the second half of England's game after he had just finished his manuscript for the Super League. He commented on the scoreline that there didn't seem to be much left in the air. He was curious if Iran could score in this game.
Commentator Han Qiaosheng, on the other hand, believes that it is not that Iran is too weak, but that England's front line is too sharp. Before the match, he was expecting to see how Iran would resist England's attack. However, with England's poor form and pressure on the back line, he didn't expect even the front line to be insurmountable...
