Xinhua News Agency, Doha, November 28 (Reporter Liu Yangtao) Qatar The World Cup will usher in four games in Group A and Group B in the third round of the group stage on the 29th. The Iranian team will qualify for the first World Cup group to launch a "life-and-death battle" with the United States, and the England and Wales will stage a "British derby".
Netherlands vs Qatar (opening at 18:00 local time)
Netherlands team currently ranked first in Group A with 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points. In the first two rounds, they defeated Senegal 2:0 and drew 1:1 with Ecuador , showing the outstanding background of this traditional European team. Facing the Qatar team, which is at the bottom of the group, the Netherlands can ensure promotion as long as they draw. I believe this is not a difficult task for them.

After two consecutive losses, Qatar became the first team to be eliminated in this World Cup, and the game against the Netherlands will be a battle of honor. Can the host show his own characteristics and momentum and cause some trouble for the top names in the group? Let's wait and see.
Ecuador VSSenegal (local time 18:00 )
This game will determine the fate of both teams. Currently, Ecuador ranked second in Group A with 4 points, while Senegal followed closely by one point. The showdown between the South American powerhouse and the "Tranga Lions" is bound to be extremely fierce.

Ecuador players have good skills in their feet, and they cooperate well in the overall situation. They are good at playing " blitz battle ". They may take more defensive positions if they can qualify for the tie. Senegal teams with many European players have good lineups and strong attack power. They are at a disadvantage in the standings and will definitely launch a fierce attack on the opponent's goal.
Iran vs. United States (opening at 22:00 local time)
In the second round of Group B, the Iran team defeated Wales 2:0 with a last-minute goal, which was their third victory in World Cup history. With this battle, Iran currently ranks second in the group with three points, which gives them a chance to make history, who have never qualified from World Cup group stage before.

The opponent of the Iran team is the young American team. Although this team tied with the opponent in the first two rounds, its active fighting, tenacious defense and fast counterattack left a deep impression. Interestingly, when Iran won the first World Cup victory in 1998, the opponent was the United States.
Wales VS England (opening at 22:00 local time)
The "English Derby" between England and Wales is the focus battle on the 29th. The first round defeated Iran 6:2, demonstrating the strong strength of England, which is ranked fifth in the world. Kain is still the mainstay of the team's offensive line, and the rise of young players such as Bellingham and Saka makes people look forward to this team. Currently, they are ranked first in Group B with 4 points, as long as they are undefeated in this battle, they can guarantee to get a promotion place.

Wales, which once again reached the World Cup finals after 64 years, is currently ranked last in Group B with a draw, 1 loss, 1 point. After being "decisively killed" by Iran in the last moment of the last round, their prospects for promotion have become bleak. Will the battle with England become their best singer in Qatar? Can Bale, who has saved the team from difficulties many times, stand up again? The answer will be announced tomorrow.
