Rashford Backs England For World Cup Win

Wednesday, 30 November 2022 11:37

The Manchester United forward scored a brace against Wales.

Marcus Rashford scored twice and Phil Foden got the other goal as England beat Wales 3-0 to top World Cup Group B ahead of the last 16. 

Both players didn't start the previous match against the USA. 

Wales are going home after taking just one point from their three games. 

England will now play Senegal in the knockout stage on Sunday night. 

Rashford feels that England are contenders. 

The USA are also into the last 16. 

They defeated Iran 1-0. 

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic grabbed the winner - the USA will now play the Netherlands on Saturday afternoon. 

The availability of Pulisic for that game is up in the air after he was taken to hospital with dizziness having injured his abdomen. 


Today, Groups C and D draw to a close. 

In Group D, Australia play Denmark and France meet Tunisia at 3pm. 

France have already qualified and a win or a draw will confirm top spot for the defending champions. 

The Danes must beat Australia and hope that Tunisia don't defeat France. 

In Group C, it's Argentina up against Poland and Saudi Arabia versus Mexico at 7 o'clock. 

Poland top the Group and will qualify with a win or a draw. 

Argentina will guarantee passage to the next round with a win, but they may only need a draw. 

That depends on the outcome of the other match. 

Saudi Arabia will qualify with a victory over Mexico.
