The fifth day of the World Cup is played on Friday in Qatar. The second round of the group stage begins, and the first eliminations and first qualifications for the round of 16 could arrive. It is therefore useful to remember that the positions in the standings are ordered according to: points obtained, best goal difference, highest number of goals scored, balance in direct matches and best goal difference in direct matches.
Group B11.00Wales-Iran [Rai 2]
Wales come off a draw against the United States and cannot qualify for the round of 16 yet. Iran however, who lost 6-2 to England in their debut, can already be eliminated if they lose and England draw or win (or if they draw and England win).
