Last season the England team played brilliantly at Euro 2020, where the team easily passed the group stage, after which they knocked out Ukraine, Denmark and Germany. Luck was a bit lacking in the final, where the “three lions” lost the title of champion of Italy in a penalty shootout. In qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar, Gareth Southgate’s wards managed to get eight wins and two peaceful outcomes, which brought the first line and a ticket to Qatar. In the first round of the League of Nations, the British team unexpectedly lost to today’s opponent. After that, they tied twice with Germany (1:1) and Italy (0:0). Such results brought today’s hosts only two points and the last place in the standings. At the same time, the team managed to distinguish itself only once.
If in 2016 the Wales team managed to get bronze medals at the European Championship, then last year the Welsh could not please. At the group stage, the “dragons” were ahead of Turkey and Switzerland, but already the first round of the playoffs brought a defeat from the Danish team (0:4). In the qualifying tournament for the World Cup in Qatar, Ryan Giggs’ wards recorded four wins and three draws over eight rounds, which corresponds to 15 points and second position. Today’s guests were lucky in the promotion playoffs. Wales beat Austria (2:1), after which they finished with the Ukrainian team (1:0), which brought the coveted pass to the World Cup. After three rounds of the new League of Nations championship, the British team chalked up only one point in the last meeting with Belgium (1:1), which led the team to last place.
