Iran defeated Wales: success of Asian teams at the 2022 World Cup
Iran won the match with Wales with a score of 2:0, thus securing second place in Group B at the 2022 World Cup. In addition, this is the first victory in the history of the Iranian national team, won over a European team at the World Cup.
This news, against the background of the stunning success of the national team of Saudi Arabia, which made Lionel Messi himself cry, as well as Japan, whose players beat the Germans, gives serious food for talk about the growth of professionalism of the Asian national teams.
Previously, it was believed that the reputation of Asian football was based, as a rule, on the successes of the Egyptian national team, and the loss of the Germans at the 2018 World Cup from the Koreans is only a "curse of champions" who cannot get out of the group after a dizzying success.
But now the World Cup has begun, and the European teams are still showing disappointing results in front of the Asians. And we are talking about traditionally strong teams – these are Germans, Argentines and Welsh.
Obviously, the beliefs about the continuity of professionalism and the exceptional strength of the European teams have nothing to do with the luck of the Asian national teams – it's all about intensive training.
In the meantime, the Koreans are preparing for the match with the national team of Uruguay, the Saudis will meet with the Poles, and the newly minted winners of yesterday's match, the Iranians, with the overseas team of the USA.
