When was the last time a top seed finished bottom of the group?
Day 10: Ecuador vs Senegal | Netherlands vs Qatar | Iran vs USA | Wales vs England
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Mendy 
Mendy . That was something
You would think they would put the keeper up with a few minutes left and needing a goal or out
Can feel the Senegal nerves through the screen here
Instead he was crying and praying while the corner was taken

so insane to seeThe Ecuador guy shoving him off the pitch.He even dared to claim that ‘his’ 3-5-2 is an attacking 3-5-2. I can understand shit football against Senegal but against Qatar? And those subs? Fun players arent selected (Danjuma) or arent coming on (Simons) but we have to endure Weghorst and Jansen? Would even prefer de Jong to give him some minutes.
really annoyed Simons hasnt been allowed some minutes on the pitch.
Rooney enjoyed thatEcuador seriously lack talent on and off the pitch. The cameraman is desperately scanning their fan base for a decent looker. Not one. Settled on a chubby granny.
goodbye Ecuador
High boot. That has to be it for Ecuador.
That's it for Senegal. Didn't look like conceding again
Germany last World Cup?
Congratulations Senegal.
That'll do Senegal. If we have to lose to someone, I don't mind it being Senegal.
Chuffed fot the Lions. African countey in the next round!
The feck ITV cutting to a break for?! The joy/anguish on the pitch is what the World Cup is about!
Glad mane is missing
Happy for Senegal.
Shame about Mane being out, could go far with Mane.

Why did the US NT twitter mock Iran's flag?
I'm not Dutch but I've seen all 3 of your group stage games and I'm shocked how dull/ uninspired you've looked.
The group was relatively "easy" and after a slow start I expected a "Performance" today but it was like pulling teeth.
Sad to see from a nation with such a rich footballing history and some decent football players (even if they aren't up to previous standards).
Congrats to both teams.
I don't think Southgate want to pick either now . Goodbye Wales

. Goodbye WalesOnly USA left. Come on you cnuts, win me some money
Senegal were waaaay overpriced at 3.25 for a must win game against Ecuador
2018: Germany
Congrats to Senegal. Sad seeing the Ecuador team fall apart on the pitch. Gonna be seeing a lot of those in the coming days.
Shame for Equador. They should have beaten Netherlands. That game they had 4 shots on target to 1 from Netherlands.
Asia needs to be divided into different zones like ME, South-Central Asia and South-East Asia for finals qualifying slots. Similarly Oceania should have their own slot. Europe should be split into west and east Europe. Africa should be divided into north and south. We need full spectrum of representation from Earth to call it true "World Cup". Doesn't matter the quality. Its a celebration of the sport of this planet.
Happy for Senegal, Gueye will be a big miss in the next round though.
They removed the symbol from the middle (I'm a bit ignorant of exactly what it's called ) that's supposed to represent the government of Iran (I think) In support of the protesters on their social media pages.
There is an Iranian poster on here (@Hanks I think) that was saying that the team has no support within Iran (at least with the protesters) and that he hopes they get whipped by the US.
I know right!
Senegal's game management and defending was really impressive after taking the lead. Kept the ball when they needed to and made sure they were compact at the back.
England will be obvious favourites but Senegal will definitely make ut a difficult game.

England aren't even guaranteed to top their group. Hell, they're not even officially qualified yet.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Wales and England draw and Iran beat the US.
The ref in the Senegal/Ecuador game was really fecking good. Always in control, mostly making the right calls.
Ecuador caught serious stage fright while Senegal played like they had nothing to lose. There was an element of luck in Koulibaly's winner, but all in all a deserved win.
He's a CL ref right? Definitely recongise him.
Think refereeing has been pretty solid so far.
Yep, French guy. He reffed the the CL final last season.
Could any Welsh fans give me any insight into their lineup for betting purposes? Do you expect any changes from previous games?
They published temporarily a photo of Iran's flag without the middle symbol.
That symbol is the official symbol of the Islamic Republic regime. That's what makes the flag IR flag as opposed to the old traditional 2500-year Persian flag.
Thing of it as Islamic Republic's version of Swastika for Fascists or Hammer & Sickle for the communists.
I had the same feeling but went for Senegal over 0.5, and BTTS.Only USA left. Come on you cnuts, win me some money
