World Cup 2022 – England vs Iran: Stream FREE, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for Three Lions’ opener

Published on November 20, 2022 at 06:48 PM

ENGLAND’S World Cup campaign begins TOMORROW as they take on Qatar in their World Cup opener.

The Three Lions arrived in Qatar to much fanfare and have been training in sweltering conditions all week.

England’s last World Cup tournament 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, 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.

Gareth Southgate announced his 26-man England squad last week.

  • Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), Nick Pope (Newcastle)
  • Defenders: Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Man City), Benjamin White (Arsenal), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), John Stones (Man City), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Conor Coady (Everton, on loan from Wolves), Luke Shaw (Man Utd)
  • Midfielders: Declan Rice (West Ham), Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Kalvin Phillips (Man City), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Mason Mount (Chelsea)
  • Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham), Callum Wilson (Newcastle), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd), Raheem Sterling (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Phil Foden (Man City), Jack Grealish (Man City), James Maddison (Leicester City)

Kyle Walker, however, has ruled himself out of the first game as he continues to recover from a groin injury.

James Maddison is a major doubt for the game having yet to train with the Three Lions in Qatar.
