Day 6: Wales vs Iran | Qatar vs Senegal | Netherlands vs Ecuador | England vs USA

[RedDevilRoshi]

Hats off to Iran. Especially when you think what these players are going through mentally with everything that is going on politically back home. The very least they deserved. Only 2-0 but in reality should have been 6 or 7 and you can’t disagree with that.

Wales are a bunch of absolute bottle jobs. Shame as I wanted them to do well after a very long wait to qualify for a World Cup. I thought they’d give it their all in this World Cup but they’ve well & truly crumbled.

 

[Chief123]

why is there so much added time in every game?

It’s been a fifa instruction to eliminate time wasted. It’s a good initiative I think. More football to watch.

[Sylar]

How can the person in the studio call this a sucker punch? Wales hardly showed any threat

 

[justboy68]

If I was the USA I'd be very worried right now.

 

[Sky1981]

Lost me 10 quid this Wales

 

[Forest Red]

Blimey Karim Ansafarad is playing - A gift from Olympiakos back in 2019 and scored once away at Hull. Moved on very quickly

 

[FootballHQ]

Iran can probably get away with a draw against US to get through.

Yes you're right, was looking at goal difference but of course if US don't win v England which is very likely all Iran will need to do is be focused and play out a draw.

I'll certainly watch that over England-Wales which is going to be very one sided game.

 

[Toad]

Iranian Maguire strangling Quieroz

 

[DWelbz19]

Impressive that Wales qualified in the first place, they've looked actually abysmal

 

[Chief123]

Are we still explain England‘s performance with Iran being the worst team?

I think this makes Englands performance more impressive. Iran aren’t as bad as the first match made them look.

 

[Kaos]

hope Iran beat the US

Yep, would be glorious. Ideally England spank them tonight too.

 

[Jazz]

Happy for Carlos Queiroz

 

[djembatheking]

Silly cnut

 

[Cooksen]

Aww man this makes waking up at 5:30 in the morning for Wales vs England to be useless.

Waking up at 5:50 on a sat morning for England vs USA better be fecking worth it

 

[Jericho]

Good for Queiroz

 

[KirkDuyt]

Are we still explain England‘s performance with Iran being the worst team?

Yeah, Iran obviously used that as a training session. Wales will comfortably beat you lot.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Fair credit to the Persians. A well deserved victory

 

[Samid]

This is the most deserved win ever.

 

[V.O.]

Who would have thought that having part time players would cost Wales

Unfortunately, there's basically nobody else. Our second string guys are League One players. You need Bale there basically for set pieces/pens.

Leaving Ramsey on the pitch the whole time was just unforgiveable, though.

 

[Sammy McIlroys fan club]

I always thought Wales would be in trouble in this game. Playing in midday heat in the desert with two or three 30+ players was never going to work out well

 

[FootballHQ]

Who would have thought that having part time players would cost Wales

Wales back where they were in 2004. Have to move likes of Ramsey and Bale on now even if they'll be a short term hit as neither are good enough at this level anymore.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Let’s destroy Wales now.

 

[Sylar]

Happy for Carlos Queiroz

Agreed.

 

[Sly]

Bring back Queiroz as assistant manager for EtH

 

[Tony247]

Disaster for Wales. Extremely stupid goalkeeping. Well done Iran. After taking a massive demoralising beating by England they came today prepared and gave their all. Well deserved victory at the end.

 

[World Game]

Wales goal difference

Morrell is league one but he started every game at the euros so not like he'd be completely out of his depth at this level surely?

 

[Mike Smalling]

What is the point of Wales?

 

[chickensgowoof]

Should've given it to Giggs until the end of the season

 

[Pintu]

They beat Ukraine and Austria after the groups.

Czech Republic
Belgium
Estonia
Belarus

That was the group. I believe they drew with Belgium in one game.

The seeding system was ridiculous with Portugal and Italy ending up in the same path and Wales having such an easy group…

 

[Nickholas]

why is there so much added time in every game?

I think it is good, they just add on the time wasting substitutions, injuries etc.. so we get a full 90 minutes.we should do that in England

 

[Darkhorsez]

@Darkhorsez !!

Let’s gooooo! Love my second team England to beat US to make for a perfect day! Come on England!

 

[Sylar]

Unfortunately, there's basically nobody else. Our second string guys are League One players. You need Bale there basically for set pieces/pens.

Bale makes sense. Allen and Ramsay dont though.

 

[Chief123]

Yes you're right, was looking at goal difference but of course if US don't win v England which is very likely all Iran will need to do is be focused and play out a draw.

I'll certainly watch that over England-Wales which is going to be very one sided game.

I’m hoping we win tonight and then rest the first team. Probably a chance to play the likes of Walker coming back from injury and giving game time to Foden and Rashford.

 

[balaks]

What is the point of Wales?

What is the point of you?

 

[Fully Fledged]

why is there so much added time in every game?

New rule from FIFA. You normally get about 60 minutes in a match they want to increase that to nearer to where it should be.

 

[Oranges038]

They’re jumping for a ball the same way an outfield player does with the added advantage of being able to use their hand and apparently endanger the safety of their opponent while they’re at it. It’s bullshit.

It discourages people from jumping with you or into you. Makes claiming a high ball much easier once they see that knee they stay grounded.

If your going for a ball in the air in the box you should expect to get clattered by the keeper at some point.

 

[CloneMC16]

What a performance by Iran. Completely dominated Wales. Wales were shite.

 

[djembatheking]

Wales deserved to go out , they were shite. Bale is done , like playing with 10 men.
