Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Dahnsouff]

Well, Wales are only one place above Iran in the FIFA rankings, so cannot be considered a shock

So England are useless, and only play teams when bad… I get it. Maybe because englands players know how to move and got pace and skill to break down teams 

Where did I say anything like this? Any team/manager can have a bad day.

Not that it's likely to happen, but what's the only way Wales can still qualify?

 

USA to beat England
Wales to beat England ()
Iran to beat USA 

 

??

No if we beat USA and Iran do too even if Wales beat us it'll he us and Iran through with 6 points. They'd need us to draw later and to beat us by a large score final game I think. 

[Leicesterpool]

Want us to win tonight and think we will but I'd rather draw tonight than lose to 0-2 to possibly one of the weakest team maybe in the world cup.

What happened to the Wales that were genuinely a bit exciting and had some shpunken. 

 

They all got a bit old and their attack minded gaffer was found to be a sex pest?

[Raj]

That is literally SO EMBARRASSING

Maybe not but performance wise that not great really. Offered nothing, did Wales have a decent shot. 

[Spudulike]

What was the ref doing giving a yellow card to Hennesey

Bet @filbertway thinks that would be a Wales free-kick

 

 I just checked flashscores and was wondering why they brought Ward on for Ramsey. Hennessy absolutely smashed someone to bits? haha

 

I did mean to reply to you post this morning but can't remember if I did

Well deserved win

Agreed.

 

@Iranmight have his own thoughts but this Iran team is one of the best ones I've seen at a world cup since they were a regular around 1998

Because you didn’t say that England played well, you were just putting it down to Iran playing badly. The quality talks anyway, and like the last two tournaments I will put up with those putting our performances down but enjoy a solid run and performances from excellent young players

I can't see why this is so embarrassing. It's not like they were playing against San Marino. Team ranking is similar between Wales and Iran. 

[Spudulike]

The Welsh players should refund the cost of the fans air tickets. 

[Iran]

A better performance towards the end, legitimately thought we wouldn't come out with anything from this match. Especially after that hammering from England.

 

I really feel for Wales, very heartbroken for their players and their fans. They deserved to come at least with something from the match. 

[Pliskin]

Iran aren’t a terrible side. So I wouldn’t consider this a huge shock. England are just sauce at the moment.

No. I'm saying that Iran is not that bad for a 6-2 scoreline thrashing.

This is extremely polite, they showed nothing 

[Leicesterpool]

Credit to Iran for getting hammered 2-6 a few days before to the win 2-0 and looked good, possibly could have won by more.

You're being too generous to Wales - they got exactly what they deserved. Was concerned about your finishing - general play was good.

Very magnanimous of you (but no one believes you). Congratulations for a job well done.

That Moore up top is just a white mark de vries.

Can't believe Mr. Miyagi taught Wayne Hennessy the crane kick.
