The World Cup kicked off in Qatar, after years of waiting, and ESPN has you covered for the world’s biggest sporting event.
We’ve seen the opening ceremony, the pre-game speeches and the musical acts (yes, that was BTS out there!). We’ve seen the first goal disallowed by VAR at the World Cup (well done, Enner Valencia, for being the answer to that trivia question) and we’ve seen the first goals allowed at the World Cup too (again, congrats to Enner Valencia, whose two goals gave Ecuador a win over host nation Qatar.)
Be sure to check in with ESPN throughout the tournament as we bring the latest from Qatar. Let’s get into it.
Group B play begins bright and early on Monday morning as England take on Iran at Khalifa International Stadium (8 a.m. ET), but that’s the mere appetizer to a delicious main course as the U.S. begin their tournament against Gareth Bale and Wales at Al Rayyan Stadium (2 p.m. ET).
