The excitement of the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico continues today, as well as during the night towards Wednesday, when there are a total of four games from groups I and J on the program.
Unlike the previous days, football fans in Europe will not have the opportunity to watch a game in the early evening. Today’s program starts at 21:00 with the match between France and Senegal.
It is one of the most interesting matches in the first round of the group stage, as one of the main favorites for the world title will face one of the strongest African teams.
In January, Senegal won the title of African champion on the field, after defeating Morocco in the final. However, a few months later he was stripped of the title for leaving the field during the final match.
On the other hand, France arrived at the World Cup as one of the most serious candidates for the trophy, led by its biggest asset, Kylian Mbappe, and an extremely powerful attack.
After the game in New Jersey, Iraq and Norway will meet at midnight.
The Iraqi national team returns to the World Cup after 40 years, fulfilling the dream of many fans in their country. However, the favorite role belongs to Norway, which with Erling Haaland in the lineup, he will try to open the tournament with a victory.
At three o’clock in the morning, the current world champion Argentina will also run on the field. The team led by Lionel Messi will start the road to the defense of the title won in Qatar with a duel against Algeria.
Although Algeria enters the match as an outsider, the selection led by Vladimir Petkovic will hope for a surprise. Cape Verde Islands have already shown that surprises are possible at this World Cup with a draw against Spain, Saudi Arabia with a point against Uruguay, as well as a little earlier when Australia defeated Turkey.
The program will be rounded off at six o’clock in the morning with the match between Austria and Jordan. The Austrians are considered big favorites here against one of the weakest selections in the championship.
