The passionate battle on November 21, the first round of the World Cup Group B match, England and Iran narrowly met. At halftime, England was leading Iran 3-0, and media personalities from all sides were buzzing about it:
Veteran media personality Boss Ming said excitedly, "Three easy goals in a half, England's defense textbook intensive formation, Iran is difficult to crack. Bellingham's precise shooting, Saka's passionate outbursts, and Sterling's quick counterattacks all demonstrated England's power. Once England's defense is breached, the game could get out of hand. My bold prediction that England will net two goals is not bold enough!"
Soccer commentator Huang Jianxiang, on the other hand, from the perspective of Asian soccer: "Asian teams use their strength to declare to the world that the next World Cup will increase to 48 teams, and Asia will have at least as many as eight teams to participate. The quality of such matches is something to look forward to."
The Rumi media personality, who has just completed his coverage of the Chinese Super League and has moved on to the England match, quipped, "It seems that there may not be much suspense in the second half of this England vs. Iran match. Whether Iran can score or not has become the focus of my attention."
Han Qiaosheng commentator is blunt: "This game, not Iran is too weak, but England's attack line is too sharp. Before the game I was expecting Iran to make a difference, I did not expect England's back line pressure, even the front line is so strong, England's performance is amazing."
