It was a match between two teams that are very, very far from the top of the bookmakers. Two teams that are very, very far from having a guaranteed place in the round of 16. Two teams that are very, very far from having a great history in World Championships. This Monday, in the World Cup in Qatar, the United States and Wales were in a game theoretically devoid of interest – but literally packed with highlights.
On the one hand, the United States returned to the World Cup after having failed the last one, in Russia, in 2018. On the other hand, Wales returned to the World Cup 64 years later, since the only and last participation was in the tournament in Sweden in 1958. In the middle, the Americans and the Welsh met in Group B where England had already thrashed Iran. and where it became increasingly clear that the great race was going to be after second place and the second qualifying place for the next phase.
