Looks off
They looked completely spaced out against England. They seem much more up for it today.Iran much better today. Already seen enough to convince me that they are better than people were suggesting after the English loss.
I think People downplayed England's win cos it's England. The high press and control of the ball for the most part from England was so good. Helped they had control of the middle with Jude too.Iran much better today. Already seen enough to convince me that they are better than people were suggesting after the English loss.
It is looking increasingly likely - Germany and Argentina losing on top of how this game is going seems to make the argument that England were just great against Iran.I think People downplayed England's win cos it's England.

I think it’s also got to do with how poor England have been this year. Wales are definitely shite though.I think People downplayed England's win cos it's England. The high press and control of the ball for the most part from England was so good. Helped they had control of the middle with Jude too.
I wouldn't be using us (Wales) as a barometer of how good Iran 'actually' are. We've made Belarus and Estonia look like world beaters in the very recent past.It is looking increasingly likely - Germany and Argentina losing on top of how this game is going seems to make the argument that England were just great against Iran.
USA and Wales probably will too. Don't think people realise how much better the likes of England, France and Brasil are than most other teams in the World Cup. Very difficult to play against players of that quality and not look bad.They looked completely spaced out against England. They seem much more up for it today.
I think it is more likely that England were just far better than them.They looked completely spaced out against England. They seem much more up for it today.
They are notWales are getting battered here
Iran look much sharper and are cutting through Wales easily at the momentThey are not
Wales play terrible today as well. USA will be interesting. For me the biggest issue for USA is that most of them wont be as match fit as Englands squad and the fact that the USA manager seems downright bad tactically.USA and Wales probably will too.

England are very formidable in every position and as a unit.I think it is more likely that England were just far better than them.
Yeah, surprised by people saying Iran look or are good. It's two poor sides making each other look good.Contest of who makes less mistakes
Wales are not getting battered at the moment, apart from the offside goal wales e had the best two efforts on goalIran look much sharper and are cutting through Wales easily at the moment
Sure but it's also possible to be poor previously but still have a great performance to break that.I think it’s also got to do with how poor England have been this year. Wales are definitely shite though.
I wouldn't go that far. Their defence definitely has problems. Their midfield and attack is amazing though.England are very formidable in every position and as a unit.
Yeah, Bale is pretty much current Ronaldo except that he can take free kicks as well as pens.Not sure who's fallen off more Bale or Ronaldo.
Haven't seen Bale play for a while but damn he's nowhere near the player he was before.
And, y'know, Southgate.I wouldn't go that far. Their defence definitely has problems. Their midfield and attack is amazing though.
I feel like they downplayed the win because everyone assumes Iran is like the Faroe Islands. The ITV commentators were going in on how shit Iran are (in comparison to Ghana being 60th in the world) yesterday somehow forgetting that Iran drew with both Portugal and Spain last time.I think People downplayed England's win cos it's England.

Bale i feel more sorry for as he has far more pressure on him at Wales to be that guy. When he retires I'd be surprised if Wales reach another tournament.Not sure who's fallen off more Bale or Ronaldo.
