Immensely proud. " Maguire subbed due to illness Gareth Southgate has revealed Harry Maguire was subbed off during England's win over Iran due to illness. The Manchester United star lasted just 70 minutes as the Three Lions kicked off their World Cup campaign with an impressive 6-2 victory. Maguire looked to be in discomfort as he was helped off the pitch by two England medics.
But Brazilian referee Raphael Claus was following Fifa instructions to the letter as the era of the 100-plus minute match began in earnest. SunSport revealed last month that football’s Law-makers on the International FA Board had demanded a clampdown on time-wasting, starting in Qatar. It meant an instruction to ensure all “unnatural lost time” was added on at the end of each half to ensure the maximum amount of play was allowed. Those stoppages included extra time for injuries, extended goal celebrations and players seeking to draw the sting out of games by taking the long route off the pitch after being substituted.

France and Spain are now narrowly behind England in the Coral odds – before a gap to Germany and Holland. Coral’s John Hill said: “England were outstanding in their World Cup opener, and as a result of that performance, we have trimmed their odds in the outright market. “Gareth Southgate’s men now just have the two South American giants ahead of them in the betting for the trophy. ” LATEST ODDS: 10-3 Brazil, 5 Argentina, 7 England, 15-2 France, 8 Spain, 11 Germany, 12 Netherlands, 16 Belgium, Portugal, 25 Denmark, 40 Croatia, Uruguay, 80 Mexico, Senegal, Switzerland, 100 Poland, Serbia, USA, Ecuador, 150 Wales, 250 Bar. That’s all from the Khalifa International Stadium England kick off their World Cup campaign with a 6-2 win over Iran. Goals from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish helped the Three Lions to their biggest ever World Cup opening game win in superb style.
It will not be strange to see six, seven, eight minutes of extra time. ” England odds hit for six England’s World Cup odds have been slashed after their 6-2 romp against Iran. Gareth Southgate’s quick-settling Three Lions are third favourites behind Brazil and Argentina following their impressive opener in Doha this afternoon.
And speaking after the game, Southgate said his star centre-back was struggling due to illness. The incident occurred moments after Mehdi Taremi fired home the first of his two goals for Iran on 65 minutes. And Southgate admits Maguire had warned the England bench about his problem shortly before the goal went in.
The victory is a sign of intent, but Gareth Southgate will be hoping that his side can repeat the feat when they take on the USA on Friday. Meanwhile, Iran take on Wales - who will face the USA this evening - in four days.

And England fans were left fuming as Harry Maguire failed to win a “stonewall” penalty after a foul by Iran earlier on. But ESPN claims there is a reason Stones’ tug resulted in a spot-kick, while the foul on Maguire was overlooked. It’s reckoned that VAR were mainly concerned about whether the attacking player in each incident was able to challenge for the ball. In Stones’ case, his tug on Morteza Pouraliganji prevented the Iranian from being able to attack the ball sufficiently. Despite only being a minor infringement on replays, the ball was said to be in close proximity to Iran’s attacker. And referee Raphael Claus eventually agreed with VAR that Stones had stopped Pouraliganji from attacking freely.
In Maguire’s case, despite the foul appearing more obvious, this was deemed the opposite case. Despite being wrestled to the floor by Roozbeh Cheshmi, it’s said the ball was NOT in close proximity to Maguire. That means he was not in a position to properly compete for it as an attacker. And VAR also took into account the fact that Maguire’s arm was also wrapped around Cheshmi as he went down. Where did it all go wrong, Tyrone?

Harry's finally his old self VERDICT: When Harry Maguire thought his season could not get any more frustrating, writes CHARLIE WYETT. The England defender, after an absolutely wretched season with Manchester United, looked back to his old self at the Khalifa International Stadium today. His defending was composed, his passing through the lines was outstanding and in the final third of the pitch – in what was a terrific England performance – he was causing absolute chaos. And then moments after Mehdi Tarebi pulled one goal back for 4-1 in the 65th minute, with fingers pointing at Maguire, the defender was being checked by a medic for concussion. Soon after, a bewildered-looking and totally pi**ed off Maguire was trudging off the pitch. His afternoon was done and England brought on Eric Dier as the replacement.

With Iran keeper Alireza Beiranvand twice staying down for lengthy periods after his head clash with his own defender, plus the stunning England scoring blitz, Claus added 14 minutes in the opening bid. There was a further 10 minutes in the second half – and arguably it should have been more for the delay caused by the VAR check for Iran’s last-gasp penalty. But Dutch whistler Danny Makkelie, Aussie counterpart Chris Beath and Fifa’s ref chief Pierluigi Collina had signalled the likelihood of such a scenario on Friday. Makkelie told SunSport: “You can expect longer halves, for sure. This is one of the topics we have spoken about.
