Group B, which includes Iran, England, the USMNT, Wales, and Wales, is an absolutely blockbuster group rife with storylines.
Can the Three Lions handle the situation with the least amount of fuss? Or will the USMNT, Wales, and Iran trigger surprises since each of their strong teams has excellent attackers who have the ability to win a game in a single flash?
This is going to be a difficult group to predict with Harry Kane guiding England, Gareth Bale spearheading Wales' charge, Christian Pulisic ready to propel the USMNT into the knockout rounds, and Iran's hopes resting on their prolific forward combo of Azmoun and Taremi.
Many people think that England is the favourite, but Wales, the USMNT, and Iran are quite evenly matched, and their world rankings (a combined average ranking of 15 for all four countries) demonstrate exactly how difficult this group will be.
