World Cup 2022: Wales yearn for historic victory, England seek to qualify
A historic World Cup victory is being chased by Wales on Friday, while England are seeking three points which would secure their place in the knockout stages.
Both nations got off to a steady start in Qatar: Wales drawing with the United States and England easily beating Iran.
Group B rivals and current leaders England also want a win against the USA (19:00), which will assure them of a place in the last 16 if they can achieve it.
The whole country will have their eyes fixed on Wales’ second group game – even those meant to be in class.
Schools in Wales are allowed to cancel lessons to let pupils watch Robert Page’s side take on Iran, with more than 1,000 schools expected to take part in “Cymru Football Friday”.
Instead of being in Maths classes, children across the nation will be hoping to see Gareth Bale overtake team-mate Chris Gunter as Wales’ most-capped man in what could be their decisive match in Group B.
