2022 World Cup.

[Swango1980]

I’ve not seen all the games but with the exception of Brazil, France and England the football has been poor.

I’ve not got your confidence about England yet but potentially with the amount of young talent we have we could do well.

My fear is that when and if we come up against a decent side Southgate will return to type and play a more negative style

I'd give Spain some credit as well. Those 4 have probably been the stand out teams so far. Argentina will be under pressure now, and Germany will be seriously worried, given they still have to play Spain on Sunday evening and pretty much need to win (especially if Japan get a result in the morning)

This is a shocking game
Absolutely no quality whatsoever
England should destroy Wales

Over the last 8-10 years, I always enjoyed watching Wales. Mainly due to the magic factor of Gareth Bale, who in his prime was unbelievable. Opposition defenders must have dreaded it.

Without prime Bale though, Wales are pretty shocking. Not a good watch at all. I'm still hoping Bale can produce a glimpse of magic at some point, but I fear he is nowhere near match fit, and pretty much on his very last legs as a pro footballer.

Maybe Iran are better than what we thought and just used the wrong tactics against England?

Really looking forward to Iran v. USA II now.

Wales were Bale and Ramsey, now both have lost their legs you can see they aren't anything to worry about. The fact they even qualified is a miracle.

If they keep it tight, bring James on to run at Iran I can see them grabbing something from a set piece.

I'm quite enjoying it tbh.
At least they both seen to be trying to win, which makes up for a lot.
How Iran aren't winning though...

James and Johnson on, hopefully gives them something in the final 3rd, but it's not looking good. They look like a pub team and should be about 4 goals down.
Welsh fans were giving it the biggun the other day when we beat Iran, too "Calm down it's only Iran"....didn't age well, did it.

Only seen last five minutes. Wales can’t pass water, let alone a ball.

 

[Imurg]

Wales will do well to get away with a point here....

 

[Deleted member 29109]

Are Wales even a League 1 standard team?

At least they have their cup final to look forward to.
Maybe they can win the “We Beat England 0-0 Cup” like the Jocks did in the Euros.

 

[Aztecs27]

Haha! Christ on a bike Hennessey

 

[Bdill93]

Confident we batter wales - they don't even have their goalkeeper now

 

[Imurg]

Fair I'd say......

 

[3offTheTee]

Wales will take 0-0 now

 

[Bdill93]

Come on Iran, do them!!!

 

[Swango1980]

For those mocking Iran in the World Rankings, what do we think of Welsh position of 19th in the world?

Well, VAR doesn’t recognize that football is a contact sport. Two men going for the ball.
goalie is going to kick ball out of stadium. ( should be judged in real time ).

red card? Nah.

Of course it is a red card. It was a foul and a goal scoring opportunity. It is a basic rule of the game.

Really??
He could have got 2 reds for that.

I'm not even sure the NFL would allow that challenge
