Group B - England, Iran, USA, Wales

[silentstriker]

Another bad thing about US not getting a goal yet is that the second half performance of the US team has been horrible.

^ this aged quickly

 

[Tangles]

If it was a reverse jinx then it was well played

 

[ripper868]

England and Wales is so exciting... they just love to play open attacking football, real treat to watch.

meantime US go within a squeeeek of 2-0

Iran playing terribly. Looks like they don’t want to be here.

 

[Furball]

Bellingham at the 2nd goal ?

 

[ripper868]

I'm not sure, but i don't think Wales can turn this into a 7-3 victory at this point.

 

[Tangles]

Using England as the reference the US gave them the tightest game.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Shame for Wales.
St George has again slain the dragon.

 

[ripper868]

Long time for USA to hold out, not that Iran have threatened at all from what i've seen

Bye bye Wales, 64 years to get knocked out by England.

Jeeeeesus ****ing Christ. I haven’t been this stressed since the Gabba Test.

The sick twisted neutral in me wanted that to be a penalty at the end, if he kept his feet for 2 more steps head have been a chance of getting the ball

 

[flibbertyjibber]

On a serious note the Welsh kids did ok in the last 25 minutes and they can back them for the future and hope they learn quickly and improve. Big chance for a few of them to replace some of the older ones.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Wales have had a nightmare tournament - which is a shame.

That's the thing with diving, players instinct now is arranging their feet to orchestrate a penalty in that situation whereas years ago they would have thrown themselves at the ball to score directly as fouls were much harder to come by 15 years ago

Ramsey really done nothing since demanding 300k a week at arsenal despite spending 50% of his time at us in the physios room. He may have won the league at juve but they were desperate to offload his that summer and his personal performances for them and rangers have been poor

 

[Furball]

I'm quite conflicted by this England team as there's a lot of players I like.

If Southgate could drop Bellingham for Grealish that would be lovely.

He was fine at us when he was actually fit enough to take the field.

It was sad watching him at times because he's still evidently a class player, it's just also really sadly apparent that his body won't or can't do what he wants it to do.
