Tbf, they've tried their best, but not really been up to much.
No particular shame in that. It wasn't like they were the Scots trotting off to Argentina in '78 thinking they were going to win it....

Well, you can tell I played my football in the 50s and 60s?. Now you’re only allowed to touch ‘em if you use your hands to pull opponents down! That ok,eh?

Tuesday night at the O2 Rod Stewart said how well the Welsh had done and had a bit of banter with the English fans about only beating a pub team.
I’d love to be there again tonight to hear what he has to say about what the pub team did to Wales… ???

I thought the ref wasnt the best, so many poor tackles from the Iranians too that should have been bookings.
I'd have much rather seen a Wales win than the horrid nation that is Iran.

Could still happen. If USA beat England tonight and Iran v USA ends in a draw a Wales win over England would knock England out of the World Cup.
EDIT - If USA beat England tonight any result apart from a USA win against Iran, coupled with a Wales win over England would knock England out.

Imagine that, it would be so crazy I would actually have a chuckle to myself.

That was a red card in any era

Looks like the Welsh have 10 players who were not born in Wales, so I forgive them if they don't quite have that passion to get the result, when the going gets tough. Marginal gains

Ah Wales…how late…how late… but Iran…we Scots know well about playing Iran and thinking a win was, if not a certainty, on the cards if the team played as it could. But back then Scotland didn’t…and sadly today neither really did Wales. But there’s always the England scalp to go hunting for.?

I think the Welsh would be hoping for England to thrash USA? It then means that England will not necessarily be giving 100% in the game against Wales. If Wales win that, they end up on 4 points. If USA then get a draw or win against Iran, then Wales go through on goal difference (i.e. either USA 2 points, Iran 4 points; or USA 4 points, Iran 3 points)?

Oh come off it
This is just the sort of game in which Pulisic might actually turn up…

Indeed. It would be very England to let the US steam roll us. We've got the quality to absolutely batter them but whether w do or not is another matter.

If he's all we've got to worry about, I'm not worried at all!
Let them deal with Saka, Kane and Sterling for 60 mins then throw in Grealish, Foden and Rashford/ Wilson for fresh legs. Easy W and into the knockouts we go

It really shows that the people of Qatar wanted the world cup, just look at the empty seats in today's game with Senegal, if the Qatar public were football oriented they would have those seats full. But no it's just the corrupted FIFA and qatari fa paying for the priveledge of hosting .

Never saw any of the Spain game but yes they must have played well and that score line suggests they must be in with a chance.
