World Cup Football: Wales playing World Cup after 64 years

 Under the FIFA World Cup 2022, the match between USA and Wales in Group B will be played on Monday night. This match will start at 1.50 midnight Nepali time at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

Wales are playing their first World Cup match in 64 years. Wales captain Gareth Bale, who has led Wales to the World Cup since 1958, is ready.

Although Wales played in the last two European Cups, they had to wait more than 6 decades to qualify for the World Cup. Wales is the team that has waited the longest for their first and second participation in the World Cup.

"Qualifying for the World Cup is perhaps the greatest honor for our country, which we have not been able to do for 64 years," said Bell, "This is the history of our country." Schools will be closed to watch our match (the second match against Iran).

Bell said that playing the World Cup is a big history for the country and said that it has been waiting for a long time. Wales, who are about to play the World Cup after 64 years, want to make it memorable.

On the other hand, America, which did not qualify in 2018, is playing the World Cup after eight years. America also wants to start auspiciously. Wales and USA are the teams with the lowest average age of the Qatar World Cup. The median age in the US is 24 and the median age in Wales is 25.

USA and Wales have met twice so far. In which America has won one match and one match has ended in a draw. But they are going to compete for the first time in the World Cup. In 2003, America defeated Wales. But in the last meeting in 2020, the match ended in a tie.

American forward Christian Pulisic said that Fu has to prove himself and if he performs well in the World Cup, many things will change. I think we have to prove ourselves. In recent decades, we have not been able to be at the level of some of the world's powerhouses. We have a good team with a lot of heart and mind. But I think we can take it to the next level. A successful World Cup can change a lot of things," said American forward Christian Pulisic before the match against Wales.

The USA is ranked 16th in the FIFA rankings, while Wales is ranked 19th.

Hosts Qatar defeated in the opening match of the World Cup

 The host Qatar has been defeated in the opening match of the World Cup. Qatar lost 2-0 to Ecuador. Inner Valencia scored both goals to win Ecuador.

He scored the first goal through a penalty in the 16th minute and doubled the lead in the 31st minute.

Even though Qatar's coach Felix Sanchez prepared for 6 months, Qatar could not get the result of that preparation. Qatari players looked nervous on their home ground.

Qatar, who was in a group with African Cup of Nations champions Senegal and Europe's 600-strong Netherlands, was considered to have an easy match with Ecuador. But Qatar could not play as expected.
