FIFA World Cup: England will not be awestruck by Wales Trippier says Trippier in the clash of neighbours

Doha (Qatar), Nov 27 : England right-back Kieran Trippier insisted on Sunday that his side wouldnt underestimate Wales in their final Group B game in the FIFA World Cup.England go into the match atop of the group with four points from two matches, while bottom side Wales still have a slight mathematical chance of making the next round.

But more than anything, Robert Pages side will look to recover their pride with a win against their neighbours and rivals.

That wont be easy and the Welsh have not beaten England since a 1-0 win in the now-defunct Home International Championships in 1984, with England winning the last six meetings between the two teams -- the last of which was a 3-0 friendly win in 2020.However, despite those results and an apparent difference in class between the two squads, Trippier knows the significance of the match, reports Xinhua.

"The motivation is there -- England against Wales is a massive game," said the defender."Every single team in our group are in the (FIFA) top 20.So you cant underestimate any team -- you have to give respect and we certainly do to Iran, USA and Wales," he added.bsk #FIFA #England #awestruck #Wales #Trippier #clash #USA.
