Wales into the world cup, for first time since 1958 is stunning :D :dazzler:


i never underestimate Iran myself, always had quite solid teams, maybe not superstar players but very good teams overall, a familiar face for the english though, Jahanbakhsh (former Brighton & Hove)

[Nicky91]

my prediction

Iran 1st (it is doable for them, but they absolutely have to bring legendary Ali Daei onboard as advisor and forwards coach
England 2nd (best of the rest in this group for sure)
USA 3rd (they're decent but decent will only make you the 3rd place in a group, men's aren't as powerful as women but they're getting there slowly)
Wales 4th (an easy 4th place prediction for me, qualifying over ukraine was just lots of luck for them, they lack weapons to pose any dangers towards any of the other 3 here)

[Nicky91]

england should withdraw from this horrible inhumane world cup


how many people have died in building the stadiums, those who go there are cancelled for me

[Nicky91]

out of respect for the queen, england and wales please withdraw from this inhumane event

[Nicky91]

on second hand, England please play, southgate's 11 are overrated as hell



i fear USA more in this group



and Wales is also pretty beatable on paper i think



i trust Queiroz with all his experience too




GOO Iran, cause some upsets, and knock out england in the group stage, what smug gareth and his overrated bunch of arrogant z-lister footballers deserve

[Nicky91]

very exciting group this one


Queiroz his 3rd world cup appearance (all with Iran) quite some achievement there for a manager i think

Gregg Berhalter's debut as a coach at the world cup, but already been here at this main stage, back in 2006 as a last minute replacement for Cory Gibbs

[Calderyon]

Easy win for England.

[arista]

USA can beat Wales

[Nicky91]

USA can beat Wales

maybe, but that will be one tough game i think


they got some weapons in their team anyway, Acosta has a decent free kick and Pulisic is a easy goalgetter

[Crimson Dynamo]

Come on you Wales

Did you notice Bale just got dispossessed but chased back and put a tackle in .. the exact opposite to what Foden did today soon after coming on as sub .. he just kinda jogged back and let everyone else scramble back

Very happy for Wales. This could go on extra time.

[Denver]

There is no extra time in group games

[Swan]

Not Extra Time in group games..

Lucky Wales!

[Vanessa]

No extra time? Then it's a draw.

[Denver]

No extra time? Then it's a draw.

Yea 1 point for a draw, extra time and pens only exist when its the knockout stages

[Vanessa]

The crowd has had enough :joker:

[Swan]

USA have been better

[Cherie]

What’s the deal with the bucket hats ..

[Crimson Dynamo]

What’s the deal with the bucket hats ..

they are back in fashion at all grounds now

[Crimson Dynamo]

game of 2 halves

[Denver]

Iran and England will spank Wales

[Crimson Dynamo]

England will spank Wales

fixed

[bots]

they are all top 20 teams in that group, so there really shouldnt be any walk overs

[smudgie]

Well done Iran for not singing the National anthem.
Fantastic result for both England and Wales.

[rusticgal]

I thought Commentators were supposed to be impartial. The Welsh commentator was absurdly biased it was sickening.

I know….but if you are going to be one of two commentators you can’t sit there gushing all over Wales for 90 minutes. You have to give credit where it’s due and be impartial.

they are biased most of the time these days, there is no pretence at impartiality

[AnnieK]

I agree....the way he gushed over Bale was nauseating. He did nothing other than score a penalty.

[bots]

the entire wales team was crap, i've never enjoyed watching them for their footballing skills even when they were supposedly playing well

[Nicky91]

NOS commentators are never impartial :laugh3:


the way Elshoff was drooling over our two goals and saying things like in your face Senegal

[Mystic Mock]

The commentators sadly can't reign it in sometimes.

Tbf though I'd probably be the same as them though, especially if it were Blues playing.

[Vanessa]

Wales only has one good player. That's not enough.

[Nicky91]

still they qualified for the world cup and big countries like Italy didn't :laugh:

Oh the Welsh hate us, that's why i never understood the support for them. I had my USA shirt on in their first game, and my Iranian shirt on this game. Im over the moon :hehe:

[joeysteele]

Chaotic ending to that match.

[bots]

wales are getting results like scotland used to get when they qualified, so i'm quite happy :laugh:

[MTVN]

Well played Iran, thoroughly deserved

Maybe Bale should have tried to actually play some meaningful football for once before this World Cup rather than accepting the dosh to sit on his arse in America

[Nicky91]

well this team of Iran played 100% better than against England, Queiroz effect of changing the team with 9 new players apart from Taremi compared to the 6-2 loss



could end up being so weird, should England lose points tonight against USA, then Iran still has chances for 1st place

[arista]

Yes, they are most use to the Hot weather
Iran, able to run that bit faster

[Swan]

The Welsh fans going to Tenerife to watch the games obviously didn't help them either, bit of a strange move.

[bots]

here we go ......

[Dogeatdog]

Cor Maguire thought he was Ronaldinho for a second there :laugh:

[Calderyon]

England v USA 0-0 FT

Wow Pulisic was close there.

[Zizu]

Yunus Musah Best player so far

Wow great save from Turner.

[Calderyon]

England can still fail to qualify, if USA beat Iran and Wales destroy England.

[Calderyon]

^ Maguire/English defender red card in the 1st 5-10 minutes vs Bale and off we go.


--------
It would need to be a 4 goal win for Wales though.

Table would potentially be like this:

USA 3 1-2-0 +1 5
WAL 3 1-1-1 +2 4
ENG 3 1-1-1 0 4
IRN 3 1-0-2 -3 3


Of course it's very unlikely, but due to today's results, possible...

[Calderyon]

I looked at the scenarios and there is actually a way for both England and Wales to advance over Iran and USA.

[MTVN]

If Wales beat us and USA and Iran draw they'd go through on goal difference

[Nicky91]

you were saying about my nation, what exactly :laugh:


also USA not bad for what was it LT had been saying MLS a crap competition :laugh2: they remain standing against powerhouses from the so called elite premier league

[Zizu]

Quite a few experienced pundits including Big Sam and Stuart Pearce saying we should make wholesale changes for Wales .. one ex player ( name escapes me ) said to play the other guys to give them a boost and see who impresses plus it protects Kane and the others who Southgate worships . It’s extremely unlikely that the talented bench will lose more than 3:0 so what is there to lose ?

I'm expecting more from Saka in the next game.

The yanks couldnt believe how poor he was considering hes named after the sport.
