"...in their culture to cheat, lucky they had a Guatemalan referee..."

Racist prick
Klinsmann talking about cheating, when he was a horrible diving cnut himself is laughable.

That's why I said mixed feelings.
I loved it. Don't want to see Wales playing that wank footy in the knockout rounds.

I don't like making everything political. Iranians are regular people as everywhere who have passions, interests, patriotism etc. Yes they have a bad regime and need to progress as a country but everything takes time.

That sounds like a plan. Hope a watering hole of some kind is easily accessible over there. You deserve it after going all that way to watch that shite. :(
ive basically got a phd in how to get booze in Qatar at this point

Wow, how did that go without being called out?

How did they cheat? They played a bit hard but nothing like cheating, they also full deserved their win.

I see Bale getting a lot of criticism, but to me, still the best golf player amongst world footballers.

Iran deserved that obviously and after seeing how much it meant to everyone it’s hard not to be happy for them

time to get shit faced
Very graceful mate.

You enjoying it over there still? Remember you posting about travelling over there.

Kinda mixed feelings on this. Seems an awful lot of Iranians wanted their football team to fail as they are representing the powers that be.
That doesn't make any sense to me. Why should the players be equated with the country's regime? They clearly don't agree with what's happening in Iran as was clear by their decision to not sing the national anthem in the 1st game. I would guess you're talking about a small minority tbh. I'd imagine most Iranians would want their team to do well.

Being Welsh .. that was a hard match to watch, we were utterly dire from first minute to last.

Iran were brilliant for most of the match and thoroughly deserved the win.

Robert Page has one tactic and thats to defend defend and defend some more and hope Bale musters something great or we get a set piece and score from that.

There is more to football than simply being difficult to beat.

Good to hear that. Godspeed.

Has anyone got a clip of this Klinsmann thing? It's almost hard to believe he's actually gone and said that.

I didn’t say I’d rather England lose than us progress.
I’m ok with whatever result tonight. Wales will need to get something against England whatever, for all we know the pressure on England needing something in the final game could play into Welsh hands.

its the commesnt like “can’t wait to dunk these out next week” as if it’s a given is what I find arrogant and then funny when England fail.

nice of you to want us both to qualify
The Welsh literally celebrated like they won the world cup when England lost against Iceland.

We simply haven't forgotton that. Don't get upset when we banter you back.

Let's also not forget that the players all mocked England, Bale saying none of England's players would make the Wales XI. It was very small-time and embarrassing of them. I hope they end up with 0 points. Karma is beautiful.

Feet up at home.
Yeah, I saw it the same way. Can't even guess what Klinsmann is going on about there.

Would have been nice to have a bit of bite in our midfield instead of watching Ramsey and then Allen doing less than nowt.
Too old but no real alternatives I guess. I'll still watch the England game - it could be the last time I see us play in the World Cup. We are a tiny footballing nation so have to accept how it is.

Klinsmann himself behaved with no class and sportsmanship in his last football related job.

If we are already generalizing, it's in his culture to be a Nazi. feck off you racist cnut Klinsmann!
Well, if he was sticking up for Hennessey, at least it's starting to add up now. :wenger:
