Let's go with the experience with the veteran goalkeeper of Persepolis FC, Alireza Beiranvand with 30 years old is going to fulfill his second world cup with Iran.

In the Premier League, in 15 games, he scored 12 goals and 1 assist in the Premier League.
England and Iran WorldCup history
Starting with the 1966 world champions England, the English in the last World Cups have been far from being again in a final, in Russia 2018 they were close to touching the glory, winning the fourth place, being an acceptable performance after being eliminated in 2014 in the first phase and in 2010 reaching the round of 16.
The Iranian national team participating in official FIFA tournaments was away for a long time, in Germany 2006 they stayed in the group stage, in 2010 they had no activity, being Brazil 2014 a new event for the Iranians where they stayed in the group stage, likewise in Russia 2018 they were eliminated very soon.

How does Iran arrive?
The Iranian team arrives with a great preparation prior to this World Cup commitment facing great rivals, against Uruguay they won with a goal by Mehdi Taremi, facing Senegal they tied to 1 goal with a goal by Sardar Azmoun and their last commitment was against Nicaragua they won with a goal by Mehdi Torabi.
Iran's selected players spoke midweek Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Alireza Beiranvand giving the following statements:
"We are going to try to give a happiness to the Iranian people."
"The perception that Iran and all other Asian teams will be eliminated in the group stage only serves as additional motivation. Asian soccer is at its highest level."
Iran's national team opens against England, then faces Wales and closes the group stage against the United States. This will be historic because it will be the first time the English and Iranians will meet in a World Cup.
How does England arrive?
The English national team comes to a new World Cup, coming from a last match against Germany in the Nations League where Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane scored the goals.
After that match there was no friendly match before the start of the World Cup.
The path of the English will not be easy because the second test will be the United States and then Wales.
At the press day Eric Dier spoke to the media about the group that was formed, how he feels and his return to the national team: "I feel completely comfortable in any defensive position".
The English defender believes a lot in this new young group leading the national team: "I am in the England group, we are lucky to be here, there is a fantastic atmosphere, the guys know that to be successful in a tournament you really need to have an atmosphere within the team".
On his return to the England squad he added: "Not being in the squad for a while, after the European Championship was tough for me, I was very motivated to try and come back and try and be here at the World Cup, you know obviously that was a goal of mine, but at the same time during that time, I think I was just really trying to concentrate on Tottenham and playing well for my club, improving individually, being fit well, we knew there was a World Cup coming up and we all want to be part of one."
