Italy’s repechage to World Cup, mounts nervousness of a'other possible rival

It is not only the Belgians who have come out of the closet on the issue of repechage should Iran not take part in the World Cup to be played between Canada, Mexico and the United States from June 11 to July 19. In the group of the team coached by technical commissioner Amir Ghalenoei, in addition to the Red Devils, there are also New Zealand and Egypt.

And it was precisely a match-analyst from the North African country, Kamal Nassar, who pointed out how such a situation hampers the work. Indeed, he explained that a tournament as important as the rainbow one is not prepared in a few weeks and, indeed, one begins to study the first-round rivals as early as the day after the draw. The man also pointed out, but of course he is not the only one, that there is a huge difference between facing Iran or Italy, Denmark or Bolivia. Egypt-Iran is scheduled for June 27 in Seattle, a location a six-hour flight from the capital Washington. And, as is well known, Tehran’s soccer federation has already made it known that it does not intend to take the field on U.S. soil.
