      World Cup 2022 – England vs Iran: Date, TV channel, live stream and kick-off time for Three Lions’ first Qatar clash

      by

      ENGLAND begin their 2022 World Cup campaign with a clash against unfancied Group B opponents Iran later this month. The Three Lions’ last World Cup campaign ended in agony as they lost 2-1 to Croatia in the semi-finals of the 2018 edition in Russia.

      But four years on from then, and with a Euro 2020 final appearance in the bag too, Gareth Southgate’s men are looking to finally overcome the very last hurdle.
      It’s been 56 years since England won their first and only World Cup, and expectations of the team continue to grow every four years.
      Iran will be their first test, before further group stage clashes with rivals Wales and 2010 World Cup group rivals USA.
      This tournament could be make or break for Southgate, who may view the Qatar showpiece as his last opportunity to finally win major silverware as England boss.

      Why is Serbia vs Switzerland a rivalry?

      by

      SERBIA and Switzerland have a rivalry steeped in history with things expected to get tasty in Group G when the pair face off in Qatar.Five-time World Cup winners Brazil and Cameroon make up the rest of the group.

      Whilst most international rivalries are born from bordering another country, Switzerland is located over 1000 kilometres North West of Serbia.
      The reason for their rivalry has a far deeper meaning.
      Why is Serbia vs Switzerland a rivalry?
      The story begins with Kosovo, a former Serbian province where many Swiss were forced to flee, including former Liverpool star Xherdan Shaqiri and the Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka’s family.
      Both players, who identify as being of Kosovo-Albanian heritage, hit the headlines in the 2018 World Cup after celebrating their goals by depicting the black eagle on the Albanian flag.

      FIFA was forced to intervene, opening disciplinary proceedings after the Serbian FA launched a formal complaint.
      Xhaka admitted the celebration was for his ‘people’, stating, “It was for my people, who always supported me. For those who did not neglect me, in my homeland, where my parents’ roots are. These were purely emotions.”

      Shaqiri declined to explain the celebration, saying, “I can’t discuss the gesture I’m afraid. We are footballers, not politicians… Emotions sometimes take over footballers and there was a lot of emotion out there.”
      Tensions remain high with Serbia refusing to recognise Kosovo as independent, leaving many of those who fled to Switzerland angered.
      One would expect all the tension, politics and emotion to be laid bare on December 2nd when the two sides meet in Qatar.
