<p>Thousands of people who flocked to Qatar for enjoying the biggest football tournament, FIFA World Cup 2022, opted to stay at the fan villages in Qatar. According to reports, these fan villages provide guests on a tight budget with an alternative to Doha's pricey standard hotels. Fans, however, have expressed their anger in a number of videos in which they recorded their experience of residing in fan villages. Many of the furious fans are complaining of dirty tap water and some of them are unhappy with the unavailability of air conditioning facility inside the tents amid hot weather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a video report dated November 24 published by GiveMeSport on their Facebook channel, a fan complained of the hot weather and lack of AC facility. "There are hundreds of tents that are empty here. It is really really hot today, the hottest day so far that I have been here. I am really light-headed because of the heat and it is so humid in the tent."</p>

<p>"There have been so many issues in the last couple of days. The first day, obviously I thought, it's alright, it's not too bad, but oh god."</p>

<p>While complaining of the flies which, as per him, swarm the tents, the fan in the video can be seen ranting about it at length.&nbsp;&nbsp;"And it would have been a really good idea for them to put some sort of deterrent up, even a cheap one, just to sort the 'fly situation'. There would have been hordes of them. I bought some fly screen to hopefully sort with the fly situation and it's not helping because I think they'd come in and start sticking to the fly screen."</p>

<p>The angry fan, who can be seen flustered with the alleged situation in the fan village tents, pointed out that&nbsp;some of the fans that he is staying with said the photos of the tents contained air conditioned units inside the tents but there are none here at all.</p>

<p>"Now we did mention this and they provided us with a fan which wasn't here originally. That helps a little bit." He said there are hundreds of tents that are empty despite the fact that they showed urgency saying it was their last straw to book the tents. In the video, he also complained that he was charged for the public services which should ideally be free as per the rules.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Even at the airport, the hire car that we have got allows us free public transport that's metro, tram, buses and matchday shuttles. And we went to reception yesterday to arrange the travel, to basically inquire about the bus to get us to the games yesterday. Oh yeah, you have to pay for this."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Continuing with his experience on the video, the fan said that he questioned the organisers if they were an original fan village. "They said, well, there are many fan villages. They avoided the question. I will tell you why it is cheaper getting a taxi which is about 35 minutes and quicker."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a separate video posted by BBC, on their Facebook channel on 20 November, a Mexico fan can be seen saying, "When we saw the pictures online of this, it seemed like a really fun idea. It seemed like really cool like a festival. But once we got here, our impressions were not precisely all positive. The tents are made of this really thick plastic which obviously for the nice and warm weather that we are having right now makes it extremely hot. Right now it is unbearable to be inside."</p>

<p>They also said that the tap water is dirty and they dropped the idea of even using it at all. "The water is like brown when you open it so its not really that exciting. I brushed my teeth with my water bottle because that was clearer&nbsp;than the water over there."<br />

FIFA World Cup 2022: Enraged fans make SHOCKING revelations from inside fan village tents

<p>Morocco may find things to be very straightforward; win or draw, and they advance regardless of what transpires in the other games in the group. However, if they lose, things do get very tricky because in order for them to advance, Croatia would have to lose by at least two goals or Belgium would have to lose. If Morocco were to lose by four goals or more and the other group game ended in a draw, they would also be eliminated.</p>

<p>In any case, Morocco just needs to complete the task at hand, although it would be quite regrettable not to advance after having already taken points away from both teams competing for a position in the round of 16. However, judging on their results thus far, the Atlas Lions should have no trouble handling that challenge, as they easily defeated both Croatia and Belgium. While the 0-0 draw with the Vatreni was a dull game, they showed off their offensive prowess against Belgium, winning 2-0 thanks to a wonderful late strike from Zakaria Aboukhlal.</p>

<p>Given the calibre of opponents they have defeated, Walid Regragui's team may have been the finest tournament surprise so far. Even if they win the group, they will still face a very difficult test because they would unluckily be put up in the round of 16 with a team from Group E, most likely either Spain or Germany.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Canada vs. Morocco Head to Head at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Canada will likely pose a greater danger to Morocco than Croatia and Belgium did, and the team is hoping to score more goals and at least get a point. Morocco's game has a lot on the line, but if they can repeat their group-stage performances, they will qualify for the final 16 of the tournament. The Maple Leafs were just unlucky to be paired up in this year's championships with the second- and third-placed teams from last year, as well as maybe Africa's strongest country.</p>

Canada vs. Morocco at FIFA World Cup 2022, match predictions, preview, head to head and lineups

<p>In order for the African nation, who is now last in the standings, to advance to the knockout rounds, they must defeat the current champions. After falling short in a 1-0 loss to Australia on Saturday, which saw the Socceroos surpass their fellow Group D rivals in the rankings, Tunisia are on the verge of an early departure from the 2022 edition while still waiting for their first goal of the competition.</p>

<h2><strong>France vs. Tunisia form at FIFA World Cup 2022&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Australia just needed Mitchell Duke's deft header with 23 minutes remaining to secure their spot in the top two, leaving Tunisia, who battled bravely in a goalless draw with Denmark on matchday one, in fourth place with one match remaining. Australia will advance to the last 16 with a win over Denmark on Wednesday, even if Jalel Kadri's team shocks the world champions and earns all three points. However, anything less than a victory for the Socceroos will provide Tunisia with an opening to capitalise.</p>

<p>In keeping with the theme of defensive tenacity leading up to the World Cup, Tunisia has only allowed one goal in 180 minutes of play, but they are one of just two teams still without a goal at the right end after two games, the other being Mexico. Tunisia has posted seven clean sheets from eight games before Qatar. The fact that the Eagles of Carthage have never had a team go the whole World Cup without scoring should give them some hope, and with qualifying already secured, France may decide to ease up a bit.</p>

<p>The fact that the current champions were the first team to seal their spot in the round of 16 for the 2022 World Cup was only fitting, given France has continued to triumph despite several injury issues and performance troubles leading up to the event.</p>

<h2><strong>France vs. Tunisia Head to Head&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Tunisia might fancy their chances against a second-string France side, but their goalscoring woes are showing no signs of letting up any time soon. With six straight victory at the World Cup, France might tie Italy's second-best mark of seven straight triumphs on the biggest platform, but they are still a ways off from matching the all-time mark of 11, which Brazil established between 2002 and 2006. This week will mark the first time France and Tunisia have faced off since a friendly match in 2010 that ended in a 1-1 draw. In the previous four meetings between the two countries, Les Bleus have alternated between winning and drawing, which is encouraging news for Deschamps's team going into this largely meaningless match.</p>

<p><strong>Tunisia predicted lineup: </strong>Dahmen; Meriah, Bronn, Talbi; Skhiri, Kechrida, Laidouni, Abdi; Sliti, Msakni; Khazri</p>

<p><strong>France predicted lineup: </strong>Mandanda; Varane, Pavard, Konate, Camavinga; Fofana, Guendouzi; Coman, Mbappe, Griezmann; Thuram</p>

The ninth day of the World Cup in Qatar has seen some of the most dramatic matches so far, including a stunning comeback by Cameroon against Serbia that ended in a 3-3 draw despite six goals being scored in the match.

FIFA World Cup 2022 - Points table and team standings of all groups after day 9

<p>Cody Gakpo's second World Cup goal gave Louis van Gaal's team the lead against Ecuador. However, Enner Valencia equalised the score early in the second half, and the two teams ended up sharing the victory. This means that Holland still has work to do if they hope to advance further in the tournament. Van Gaal's team would advance to the round of 16 if they defeated Qatar or drew with them. They would also advance if Ecuador defeated Senegal. The Netherlands won't want to take any chances with their advancement, but it would be shocking if they weren't able to advance from this spot.</p>

<p>The host nation, Qatar, was ousted from the competition in the group stage after losing its first two games to Senegal and Ecuador. On November 20, Ecuador defeated Felix Sanchez's team 2-0 to begin their Group A campaign. On Friday, Senegal defeated them 3-1 in their second encounter of the competition. Senegal defeated Qatar in their match in the 78th minute to reduce the deficit, but Aliou Cisse's team went on to win all three points with a goal in the 84th, leaving the host nation with nothing to play for in what would be their final game of the 2022 campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Qatar vs. Netherlands Head to Head&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Qatar has never played Netherlands in an international game; so, they will make further history on Tuesday, and it would be a significant accomplishment if they were able to win at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. In their last game, Qatar will be motivated to give their fans something to cheer about, but it is tough for us to predict a result other than a victory for the Netherlands. Since Van Gaal's team has performed admirably throughout the competition, we fully anticipate them to finish Group A with seven points.</p>

<p>When selecting his starting lineup for Tuesday's match against Qatar, Netherlands manager Van Gaal must make a lot of important choices. As he works to recover from an injury, Memphis Depay has now made two appearances off the bench in the competition. However, the Barcelona forward may start this match.</p>

In their World Cup match against Iran on Friday, Wales looked to increase their chances of making it out of the group stage. However, the Dragons put up a terrible performance and were duly penalised, though not until the 98th minute.

In their World Cup match against Iran on Friday, Wales looked to increase their chances of making it out of the group stage. However, the Dragons put up a terrible performance and were duly penalised, though not until the 98th minute. Wales lost to Roozbeh Cheshmi and Ramin Razaeian's injury-time goals to leave fans inconsolable after Wayne Hennessey was sent off for a dangerously high foul on Mehdi Taremi. Only a specific series of circumstances will now allow Rob Page's team to qualify. If Wales loses on Tuesday, it will be the first time in their history that they have finished a major tournament without a single victory, but they might be able to draw inspiration from England's similarly terrible performance against the USA. However, only a few hours later, some of the England supporters in the audience appeared to boo their own players off the field following an uninteresting draw with the USA. Many Three Lions supporters undoubtedly welcomed Wales' setback on Friday lunchtime. The game's greatest opportunity, a shot by Christian Pulisic that struck the crossbar, came as England lost the offensive flair that had allowed them to thrash Iran for six on the opening day and wasted the chance to clinch a top-two finish with one game remaining. Wales vs. England Head to Head We still expect Southgate's team to find their shooting boots and confirm a last-16 place, inflicting World Cup heartbreak on their neighbours in the process. England were not exactly firing on all cylinders against the USA either, and they will have a difficult time breaking down a five-man Wales backline.A motivated Wales team should not be written off on the mindset front when playing their most significant game in recent memory against a British foe, but their on-field performance against Iran left a lot to be desired.

<p>Cameroon and Serbia, two opponents from Group G who were both defeated in their opening matches of the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022, meet on Monday for a pivotal match. The Indomitable Lions were defeated by Switzerland on Thursday, but their European counterparts were humiliated by the Selecao, despite holding them off for an hour. They lost 2-0. Check the latest on Cameroon and Serbia form, Head to Head, prediction, preview and lineups.</p>

<h2><strong>Cameroon Form at FIFA World Cup 2022&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>In the first half of their Group G opening against higher-ranked opponents, Cameroon was able to hold them off, but a goal from Yaounde-born Breel Embolo in the 48th minute was the game-winner for Switzerland. As a result, the West African country has yet to claim a World Cup title since 2002, when Samuel Eto'o, who is currently the head of the Cameroonian Football Federation, scored the final goal for his nation on the international arena. They have also dropped eight straight World Cup games after their opening-day defeat, so they now aim to avoid tying Mexico's regrettable mark of nine in that regard. Despite placing third in this year's Africa Cup of Nations, the Indomitable Lions have been off of form ever since, winning only one of their previous six matches, and that victory came against Burundi.</p>

<h2><strong>Serbia Form at FIFA World Cup 2022&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Brazil defeated Serbia 2-0 in their inaugural match at Lusail Stadium on Thursday, leaving Serbia with no points. Richarlison's goals in the second half clinched the victory and handed Serbia only its third defeat in the previous 17 matches. Dragan Stojkovic, the squad's coach, lamented that several of his key players weren't fit enough to participate. However, he also admitted that his team had fallen to the superior team. Serbia has lost eight of its 10 World Cup games in total, the most losses of any European country, after exiting at the group stage in each of their previous three finals trips since attaining independence.</p>

<h2><strong>Cameroon vs. Serbia Head to Head&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Serbia has a history of scoring frequently, and after being shut out by a World Cup favourite in their opening game, they may now return to form by scoring many goals against weaker competition. Cameroon seldom makes mistakes on defence, but they occasionally have to press for three points, which gives the Eagles' skilled players a chance to score.</p>

<h2>Cameroon vs. Serbia kickoff date, time and place&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Group G match between Cameroon and Serbia will be kicked off at Al Janoub stadium in Al Wakrah in Qatar. The match will start at 3:30 PM IST timings.</p>

<p><strong>Cameroon predicted lineup:</strong>&nbsp;Onana; Fai, Castelletto, N'Koulou, Tolo; Ondoua,&nbsp;Anguissa, Hongla; Mbeumo, Toko Ekambi,&nbsp;Choupo-Moting</p>

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal will return to action in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition with their second game on Tuesday (November 29). After a 3-2 win over Ghana, the former Euro champions will take the field to continue their winning momentum but have a stronger opposition to face this time around in the form of Uruguay. Talking about the Luis Saurez-starrer Uruguay, they didn't have an impressive start, returning with a 0-0 stalemate versus South Korea in their opening clash in Qatar.</p>

<p>Thus, Portugal will start as favourites but Uruguay have enough firepower to counter Ronaldo &amp; Co. In the 2018 edition, the Portuguese were shown the door in the Round of 16 with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the same opposition to crash out of the mega event in Russia. Will the script remain the same or Portugal will make it two wins in a row? Only time will tell. With the 37-year-old Ronaldo most likely playing his last World Cup, he will like to give his all and marshal his troops to the next round with a convincing win over Uruguay. Portugal have an edge at the moment but they will acknowledge that they weren't at their very best and were challenged quite a lot by Ghana in their tournament opener. Thus, an enthralling contest is surely on cards.</p>

With the 37-year-old Ronaldo most likely playing his last World Cup, he will like to give his all and marshal his troops to the next round with a convincing win over Uruguay. Portugal have an edge at the moment but they will acknowledge that they weren't at their very best and were challenged quite a lot by Ghana in their tournament opener. Thus, an enthralling contest is surely on cards. Here's everything you need to know about the clash: When is Portugal vs Uruguay match of the FIFA World Cup 2022?

<p>Argentina will play Group C rivals Mexico on Saturday in an effort to bounce back from their disastrous opening encounter. Their World Cup dreams are already on the line. The Central American counterparts to the Albiceleste Mexico survived a scare to draw with Poland on Tuesday, while the Albiceleste began their pursuit of the third world championship by unexpectedly losing to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia that day broke Argentina’s 36-match unbeaten run. But thanks to its impressive record, Argentina is most pundits’ favourites for the final four at least.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Mexico's tournament got off to a relatively calm start on Tuesday with a 0-0 tie with Poland, one of several scoreless draws in the opening week of Qatar 2022. In some ways, Tata Martino's team was grateful for the single-point haul they received in the end.</p>

<h2><strong>Match predictions</strong></h2>

<p>Argentina was in shock following their loss to Saudi Arabia and cannot afford to drop points in their final two group games. The Albiceleste will need to support their captain in this match as Lionel Messi struggles with his fitness.<br />
Despite having a strong team at their disposal, Mexico struggled in their opening match against Poland. On paper, Argentina is the superior team and has the advantage in this match.<br />
Prediction: Argentia-2, Mexico-1</p>

<p>France dealt a severe blow to Australia in their first match on Tuesday. With another win, France could guarantee their place in the knockout round. On the other hand, Denmark is entering the match under tremendous pressure in a bid to stay relevant in the FIFA World Cup race. With a victory against Denmark, France might guarantee early qualification to the knockout stages. However, Denmark is no Australia. Didier Deschamps's aggressive team was no match for the Australians but Denmark has been labelled “dark horses” by many pundits.</p>

<p>Denmark have lately been on a fine run of form that included beating France twice in the nations league. However, after Tunisia humiliated the Scandinavians in a heart-pounding, high-octane opener, perceptions about the Scandinavians have changed.</p>

<h2><strong>Match predictions</strong></h2>

<p>Although Denmark has won their last two matches with France in all competitions—both in the 2022 Nations League— Les Bleus is still being called the favourites, with the world champions having a 52.7% chance of triumphing. Before kickoff, the chances of Denmark winning are 22.8%, while the possibility of the draw is 24.5%.</p>

Qatar World Cup 2022: Neymar out of group stages after an ankle injury

<p>Essam El-Hadary, an Egyptian goalkeeper, is the oldest player in the men's FIFA World Cup. Peter Shilton, who has played for England the most times, is ranked sixth. All football players aspire to play for as long as they can, but only a select handful are able to maintain their level of fitness. Even some of them improve with time. Even though some of this generation's top players, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, are competing in their final World Cup in Qatar, they are by no means the oldest players to have competed in football's biggest tournament. Checkout the list of oldest footballers to play at the FIFA World Cup, a list which is heavily dominated by goalkeepers.&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="Oldest " data-align="center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9fb4f342-fec6-4f2a-a028-90435e5d34c3" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2840%29.png" />
<h2><strong>Essam El-Hadary, 45 years and 161 days</strong></h2>

<p>Essam El-Hadary made his FIFA World Cup debut against Saudi Arabia in 2018 at the age of 45 years and 161 days, 22 years after making his Egypt debut. Prior to their encounter against Saudi Arabia, the Pharaohs had lost to Uruguay and Egypt in their group games. In the first half, Egypt would have lost to Saudi Arabia if not for El-Hadary's outstanding save off Fahad Al-Muwallad's penalty kick. Egypt was in trouble against the Saudis. On that particular day, Essam El-Hadary not only made history as the oldest player to ever compete at the FIFA World Cup, but he also made history as the oldest debutant and the first African goalkeeper to save a penalty shot.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Faryd Mondragon, 43 years, 3 days</strong></h2>

<p>When Faryd Mondragon of Colombia entered the field for Colombia's last group match against Japan in 2014, he was 43 years and three days old, making him the oldest player to compete at the FIFA World Cup prior to Essam El-Hadary in 2018. However, Faryd Mondragon still owns a few records. Prior to competing in 2014, Faryd Mondragon participated in the 1998 World Cup for Colombia. The gap between two World Cup games was the longest ever for a player. The Colombian, who was on the bench during Colombia's 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Brazil in 2014, is also the oldest player left in the FIFA World Cup playoffs. Soon after Colombia was eliminated, Mondragon made his retirement announcement.</p>

<h2><strong>Roger Milla, 42 years, 39 days</strong></h2>

<p>At 42 years and 39 days old, Roger Milla of Cameroon ranks third among the oldest football players to compete in the FIFA World Cup. He is the only striker to appear in the top five, though. In a 6-1 thrashing by Russia in the 1994 group stage, Milla scored Cameroon's lone goal. Oleg Salenko of Russia set the record for the most goals scored by a single player in a FIFA World Cup game with five goals in the same game. Over the course of 77 games and a more than 20-year career, Roger Milla scored 43 goals.</p>

<h2><strong>Pat Jennings, 41 years</strong></h2>

<p>When he was onto the pitch in the 1986 World Cup group stage encounter against powerful Brazil, Northern Ireland goalkeeper Pat Jennings was 41 years old. As was to be anticipated, the Brazilian team celebrated by defeating the birthday boy 3-0 and scoring three goals in the process. After participating in 119 games for his nation between 1964 and 1986, Pat Jennings announced his retirement the same year.</p>

<h2><strong>Peter Shilton, 40 years, 292 days</strong></h2>

<p>England goalkeeper Peter Shilton made history in 1990 by becoming the oldest player to play in a World Cup match. Shilton is best known for being the goalkeeper against whom legendary Maradona scored the "Hand of God" goal in the 1986 World Cup final. When Peter Shilton led England against Italy in the third-place play-off in 1990, England lost 2-1. Shilton was 40 years and 292 days old. After the World Cup, Shilton announced his retirement, but not before earning 125 caps for England's men from 1970 to 1990.</p>

<h2><strong>Oldest footballer in FIFA Women’s World Cup history&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Formiga, 41 years and 112 days</strong></h2>

<p>Brazilian midfielder Formiga, at 41 years and 112 days, became the oldest footballer to play in the FIFA Women’s World Cup during Brazil’s quarter-final match against France in 2019, which they lost 2-1. Formiga is the only player across men’s and women’s competitions to play in seven FIFA World Cups. She is also the first female football player to participate in seven Olympic Games. Formiga made her debut in 1995 and retired in 2021 after playing 234 matches for Brazil.<br />

<p>England's opening-day 6-2 victory against Iran will have given them plenty of motivation, but the USA should be upset that Wales held them to a 1-1 draw. The squad that will advance to the Round of 16 remains to be seen given that qualifying is expected.</p>

<p><strong>England vs USA Head to Head</strong></p>

<p>Although England is the favourite to win the match and move on to the next round, historically, this has not been the case. Although England has an advantage in their head-to-head series with the USA, eight victories in 11 games, the Three Lions have never defeated the Americans in a World Cup encounter. During the final event, the teams faced off twice, with England losing both matches. In the first-ever World Cup match, the USA won 1-0, whereas in the 2010 World Cup, the USA scored thanks to a mistake by Robert Green and earned a point to win the group. The latter resulted in England losing horribly to Germany in the Round of 16, and it is still the only draw between the teams.</p>

<p><strong>England vs USA Group Details</strong></p>

<p>England's World Cup campaign got off to a 6-2 thrashing of Iran as five different goal scorers made the 1966 winners' goals apparent. Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, and Jack Grealish were also among the scorers, while Bukayo Saka finished with a brace. Wales and USA battled to a 1-1 tie, with Gareth Bale's 82nd-minute penalty cancelling out Timothy Weah's first-half goal. On Tuesday, November 29, an all-British match between England and Wales will conclude the group stage for both teams at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan. Iran and the United States will face off against each other in a simultaneous kickoff at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha as both sides compete for an R16 spot.</p>

<p><strong>World Cup record</strong></p>

<p>England has made 16 appearances with the first in 1950. England was the best result champions in 1966 while USA has appeared in World Cup for 11 times and its best result was third place in 1930.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane/Wilson</p>

England vs. USA at FIFA World Cup 2022, here's match prediction, preview, Head to Head and lineup

<p>Wales and the USA knew they couldn't afford to lose their respective games in Al Rayyan after England destroyed Iran. Wales was lucky to still be in the game at the end of the first half since neither team really played as though they were content with a point. The Dragons wasted a couple of opportunities in the second half until Gareth Bale converted a penalty kick to record his first World Cup goal.</p>

<p><strong>Wales form&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Wales' star player wasn't at his best, but his assured 12-yard shot has put Wales in a position where, if they can beat Iran, they will control their own destiny. Robert Page's team has now gone six games without a victory and has only won once in nine games.&nbsp;Joe Allen's fitness was the sole question mark for Wales going into the tournament, but after taking a knock in the opening game, eyes will now be on Ethan Ampadu.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Iran form</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Iran, on the other hand, should remain positive and give their all against Wales since a victory today would significantly increase Iran's prospects of making it through to the Round of 16 (if England defeats USA in the other Group B match).&nbsp;Despite having qualified for the last two World Cups, Iran has never made it past the group stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Team news</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before this match, Page is struggling with a variety of selection decisions, including whether to start Kieffer Moore following his impact against the USA. Harry Wilson may also be in line to move to the bench for substitutes, so Page may want to control fitness levels even if Daniel James would be the favourite to withdraw. Ethan Ampadu's ankle ailment will be closely watched, and Joe Morrell will step in if necessary. Joe Allen, who hasn't played since September because of an injury, is also back in the mix. Due to concussion regulations following Alireza Beiranvand's head injury against England, Iran will be obliged to swap goalies.</p>

<p><strong>Wales predicted lineup: </strong>Hennessey; Mepham, Rodon, Davies; Roberts, Ramsey, Ampadu, Williams; James, Bale; Moore</p>

<p><strong>Iran predicted lineup: </strong>H. Hosseini; Moharrami, Pouraliganji, Cheshmi, M. Hosseini, Mohammadi; Jahanbakhsh, Noorollahi, Karimi, Gholizadeh; Taremi</p>

<p><strong>Wales and Iran kickoff date, time and place&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Wales and Iran will come for a faceoff on Friday at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium at 3:30 PM IST.&nbsp; Wales will play England on Tuesday, November 29, in their last Group B encounter at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, while Iran will play the United States in the Al Thumama Stadium at the same time as England-Wales.</p>

Switzerland vs Cameroon debut at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022:  Match predictions, preview and lineup

<p><strong>Portugal v Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 match preview:</strong> Portugal will face off against Ghana, an African superpower, on 24 November, in an effort to get their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign off to a strong start. Cristiano Ronaldo and his team will be the centre of attention as they attempt to establish their dominance over the competition. Additionally, this will be Ronaldo's first game since his recent interview, which infuriated Manchester United's management. Here is match preview and predictions, squad and everything you need to know about the key matchup, with Ghana aiming for an upset.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal Form at FIFA WC 2022&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ronaldo, the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or after repeated World Cup setbacks will be anxious to help Portugal finally win the big one. Despite being a well-known footballing nation, Portugal has only been to the World Cup semifinals twice, in 1966 and 2006, and they haven't advanced past the round of 16 in four of their last five competitions. A Selecao lost to fellow Group H opponents Uruguay in the round of 16 at the World Cup finals in Russia in 2018, and they have only managed to win three of their past 11 games there. However, they did a great job of preparing for the competition by crushing Nigeria 4-0 earlier. Santos's team has struggled to win any of their last three opening games on the biggest international stage, so fast starts have not been a theme for Portugal at the World Cup. Ghana will need to put on their best shooting boots if they hope to get past a Portuguese defence that has only allowed two goals in their last seven games.</p>

<h2><strong>Ghana Form in QATAR&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ghana has their sights set in Group H. Uruguay has been waiting patiently to keep the Black Stars from making it to the semifinals but Ghana is getting ready for its fourth World Cup appearance since 2006. &nbsp;The African nation has only been eliminated once at the group stage. On December 2, the two sides will resume hostilities. Earlier this year, before Ghana football manager Otto Addo took over, the Black Stars also lost all three of their games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Ghana entered the World Cup having won seven of their last eight games across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all of those victories, and only losing to Brazil during that run. They also impressively defeated Switzerland 2-0 in a friendly last week.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal vs. Ghana Head-to-Head</strong></h2>

<p>At this level of football, Portugal and Ghana are not complete strangers. At the 2014 World Cup, Ronaldo helped the A Selecao defeat the Black Stars 2-1, and a similar performance in Qatar would help him in his quest to once again make headlines for the right reasons.</p>

<h2><strong>When is the match?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The <strong>Portugal vs Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 </strong>Match 15 will be played on Thursday (November 24) at <strong>9:30 PM IST</strong> at the Stadium 974 in Doha.

Here's why Lionel Messi can still guide Argentina to win Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022

<p>The German national team staged a silent protest ahead of their clash against Japan in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Wednesday. In a symbolic gesture of being silenced, German players decided to cover their mouths with their hands while posing for the team photo ahead of kick-off against Japan.</p>

<p>Their gesture was apparently in protest against world football's governing body FIFA after its decision to bar seven teams from wearing the 'OneLove' armband expressing support for the LGBTQ+ community. Captains of seven teams, including Germany and Belgium, had decided to wear the special armband but had to ditch the plan after FIFA's warning.</p>

<p>FIFA threatened the teams that their captains will be booked even before the start of the match if they were sported wearing the armband. German players decided to express their disappointment against FIFA by protesting against the world body, however, Belgium's Eden Hazard argued the Germans should have stuck to football.</p>

<p>When asked if his team planned to do something similar in their first game against Canada on Wednesday, Hazard said Belgium are in Qatar to play football and they would like to focus on doing only that. The Real Madrid star also took a dig at Germany stating that they should have focused on winning the game.</p>

<p>"They'd have done better not to do it (the protest) and to win instead," said Hazard.</p>

<p>"We are here to play football. I'm not here to send a political message. Other people are better placed for that. We want to be focused on football," he added.</p>

<p>While Germany suffered a shock 2-1 defeat against Japan despite taking the lead in the first through Iikay Gundogan, Belgium managed to secure a hard-fought 1-0 win against Canada. Michy Batshuayi scored in the 44th minute to hand Belgium a crucial victory and get their campaign off to a winning start.</p>

<p>Hazard started the game but failed to get on the scoresheet for his team. Belgium will be hoping to continue their winning run when they take on&nbsp;Morocco in their next game on Sunday (November 27).</p>

The Real Madrid star also took a dig at Germany stating that they should have focused on winning the game. "They'd have done better not to do it (the protest) and to win instead," said Hazard. "We are here to play football. I'm not here to send a political message. Other people are better placed for that. We want to be focused on football," he added.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Switzerland to face Cameroon today

<p>Uruguay and South Korea, both the groups of the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 have seen consistent competition. The current Uruguayan squad of athletes is quite promising. Despite having won the competition twice, Uruguay hasn't gone all the way since their title-winning run at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. As&nbsp;Uruguay and South Korea are set to lock horns it will be interesting to watch who will seize the game and pull off a stunning win at the big tournament.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay form at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>Since Diego Alonso replaced Oscar Tabarez as coach of the Uruguayan team La Celeste at the end of the last year, they have been in superb form. Despite the success they are getting on the field, Uruguay's preparation has been in turmoil since Tabarez was fired as manager after being in the position for 15 years. Although Alonso has radically changed a team that was on the brink of collapse after some appalling performances in South American qualification, he still isn't sure of his best starting eleven. However all these details will not matter as long as they continue to play the game well both offensively and defensively, as they have only conceded twice in his nine games in charge.</p>

<h2><strong>South Korea form at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>South Korea, meanwhile, come into the tournament with an under-fire manager and a squad which has underwhelmed in the build up to Qatar. In addition, the team experienced the worst-case scenario on the eve of the competition when Son Heung-min suffered an injury in the Champions League and needed surgery to repair a fractured eye socket. However, the footballer has vowed to go to all lengths to play. It is because without him South Korea won't be as strong mentally or tactically. Given his disruptive tournament preparation, there is also a chance that he won't be at full strength if manager Paulo Bento decides to risk him right away. More pressure will be placed on their strong defence as a result of the uncertainty surrounding their attacking star, but they have already shown they can do it by allowing just three goals in their ten AFC final stage qualifiers.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay vs South Korea Head to Head at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>In all competitions, Uruguay and South Korea have faced each other off for a total of eight times. They initially met in the Nehru Cup in 1982, and since then they have met one another for seven times. In these matchups, Uruguay has been the superior team and currently holds a 6-1 victory advantage, with one game ending in a tie. Additionally, two of these encounters happened during the FIFA World Cup. Uruguay prevailed 1-0 in their 1990 World Cup group-stage encounter. In 2010, they faced again in the round of 16, and Uruguay once more prevailed. La Celeste won that game 2-1 thanks to a brace from Luis Suarez.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay predicted lineup: </strong></h2>

<p>Rochet; Varela, Godin, Gimenez, Olivera; Bentancur, Vecino, Valverde; De Arrascaeta, L Suarez, Nunez</p>

<h2><strong>South Korea predicted lineup: </strong></h2>

<p>Seung-gyu; Moon-hwan, Young-gwon, Min-jae, Jin-su; Woo-Young, Hwang In-beom, Jae-sung; Hee-chan, Heung-min, Ui-jo<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay vs South Korea Kick off date, time and venue&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Uruguay vs South Korea Group H opener match will take place at Education City Stadium on Thursday. The game is set to kick off at 6:30 PM IST.&nbsp;</p>
