England Cut Slightly In World Cup Outright Betting After 6-2 Iran Win

England came into their opening Group B World Cup having not won in six, but they left that form behind them with an eye-catching 6-2 win over Iran, who, on paper, looked a tricky first team to play.

Southgate’s men scored three first-half goals to set up a comfortable second half which allowed the England boss to make a lot of changes and rest players for the bigger games ahead.

The bookmakers reacted by cutting England slightly in the World Cup betting market to @ 17/2 with BetUK, with their next games against USA on Friday 25th and Wales on Tues November 29th.

Brazil remain the World Cup outright favourites @ 33/10 with BetUK.

Jude Bellingham, who plays his domestic football at Borussia Dortmund, got the Three Lions rolling with the opening goal in their 6-2 win over Iran – which was also the 19 year-old’s first international goal.

Bellingham also became the second youngest England player to score at the World Cup Finals, behind Michael Owen, who scored that famous goal against Argentina at the 1998 finals.

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka was also one of the stars with two England goals and in the process became the youngest player at 21 to score two World Cup goals for England in the Finals.

The game also had a stack of injury-time after Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand clashed with one of this own players in the first half with the game still at 0-0 at the time. The tried to carry on but was subbed off in the end, which led to many asking what is the new concussion protocol in place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Finals?
