It is time for the English to focus on football in Qatar. Harry Kane's World Cup starts today. Gareth Southgate's England will start their World Cup campaign with a match against Iran at Al Rayyan's Khalifa International Stadium at 7pm Bangladesh time.
Opponent Iran is a regular in the World Cup but is an unfamiliar opponent for England. The World Cup is far away, the two teams have never met in a friendly match. Unpleasant political relations between the two countries have played the biggest role in preventing it from happening. The more than four-decade-old animosity has intensified after recent events in Iran.
