Iran look more threatening to me. Especially when they win the ball back on the counter. Wales don’t look comfortable at all currently.
Day 6: Wales vs Iran | Qatar vs Senegal | Netherlands vs Ecuador | England vs USA
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Such a shame Wales beat Ukraine
Both teams honestly look shite.
I forget Bale is still only 33 and yet it feels like he's 38.
Why? That just means Ukraine are worse.
We already did our service to the cause of everybody's current favourite team when we got bummed by Denmark at the Euros. Ukraine can feck off.
Wales just need to settle, they are capable of playing decent football
Nah, Ukraine were far better in the playoff game but the Wales GK was a beast and they scored a deflected goal. It just wasn't meant to be.
Still amazes me how much Liverpool got for their Welsh tat. United too, for that matter.
Is it just me, or is Bale playing with zero intelligence these days? He makes the stupidest decisions all the time.
This Wales team is pretty awful.
Do you think Spain would notice if we swapped Nico Williamses?
Just feels too cautious again. Was hoping Page would learn from the US game (and other games in this tournament) … and if Allen is fit, play him
With Bale and especially Ramsey badly declined Wales 11 certainly isn't that much better than Iran.
Ben Davies and Moore are the only reasonably consistent prem players in their line up so not much different to Taremi who's a starting striker for knock out CL team.
In the heat can see this just being another draw.

This game need a goal badly
One match doesn't mean that, just like Japan isn't better than Germany even though they won a game they should have lost by 2 goals
Iran don't seem keen on having any sort of sustained possession in Wales half. Every time they've had chance to slow the game down and work their way into the box they just lump it in.
If its not a counter attack they aren't interested

Iran crossing from deep as if they’re up against smaller-sized Asian opponents.
Iran are a threat on the break but aside from that they don’t look good
they look weak on crosses

Two teams very devoid of quality. Seen this kind of game too often. Good thing is it’s a must win so lots of nice tension.
Azmoun needs to be on the swivel and start looking at the ball rather than face towards goal all the time.
Remember fellow Caf'ers. This is not the Champions League or the Premier League. This is the World Cup. It's a party where you come to see all the countries of the world in all their shapes and sizes trying to play the best football they can in the blistering heat. You will not get gourmet football here until the knockout stages or if Brazil is playing. Stop complaining. If it's so bad go and watch re-runs of the CL or wait for Spain -Germany
That play there sums Wales up. Great ball and a professional footballer can’t even control it, so the chance is gone. Awful.
Poland-Mexico and now this.
Is it me or is this ref giving Iran everything?
Quite nonchalant game by both teams
Everyone (bar Page) knew Moore was the call last game but he has to be played in the right set up… too much distance from him to a couple of teammates.
Can see Iran scoring and THEN Page wakes up.

I’ve never watched a world cup before, thank you for explaining
Wales getting more of the ball now but Iran with the threat on the counter.
Yeah it seems so
Yeah I am turning the TV off now, not watching this. Another 0-0 in the making.
Their physical advantage in Asia doesn’t translate very well on the International stage.
Maybe 1 or 2 but wouldn't say everything
Can only assume the plan is to put Brennan Johnson and Dan James on around hour mark.
Wales just don't have much quality in their first 11 now Bale and Ramsey have massively declined.

Considering the beating they got from England, Iran are doing well so far in this match.
BeOut Sports hack the feed there?
Major lack of quality from both teams. Don't think there's much difference in level between the 2.
The feck is all that background noise? Thought vuvuzelas were banned
