USA and Wales will face each other in their respective debuts in the first phase of the World Cup, in a game that could be decisive for Group B
USA x Wales face each other this Monday, 21, at 4 pm (Brasília time), in a game valid for the first round of the World Cup. Scheduled to be only the third game of the World Cup, the teams arrive as favorites to take the second place in Group B, but intend not to let any bigger surprises happen.
After being left out of the last World Cup, the USA arrive with a completely renewed generation to try to make a good group stage. With that, the Americans know that a victory in the debut is of extreme importance, even for the configuration that the group must have in the following rounds of the World Cup.
On the other hand, Wales arrives excited for the Cup, as it will be breaking a 47-year fast without playing in it. With its great generation getting older, this is perhaps the main opportunity to be the underdog of the competition, just as it did in Euro 2016, when it reached the semifinals and was eliminated by champion Portugal.
As mentioned earlier, the party setup should depend a lot on this game. With England having the favoritism to qualify with ease, USA and Wales fight with the Will for the last spot, and winning the direct confrontations will make the difference in the end to define the classification. In this way, the teams will already play everything they can in the debut.
Where to watch:
USA x Wales will face each other this Monday, 21, at 4 pm (Brasília time), counting for the first round of the World Cup. The confrontation will be broadcast on TV Globo (open channel) and SporTV (closed channel). Meanwhile, the sportbuzz will accompany and pass on all the best that happens during the match.
