WORLD CUP

The 2022 World Cup semifinals have thrown up two eye-catching contests, with superstar names like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe hoping to reach the grand finale in Qatar. All four coaches face crucial decisions on their team selections, as knockout football leaves no room for error, and extra time and penalties become increasingly frequent.

The World Cup draw was made on Friday, with England to face Iran, USA and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine in the group stage. Following the draw, the reaction in the English press was largely that Gareth Southgate’s team will have a rather easy passage through to the knockout stages in Qatar.
