Group B - England, Iran, USA, Wales

[grecian]

Henderson, ummm okayyyyyyy

 

[BoyBrumby]

We've been dog, let's be fair.

Something of a travesty yer Mercans aren't ahead.

And Gaz responds to our lack of creative spark by warming up Henderson...

 

[wpdavid]

Grealish time imo.

I wouldn't object, but, the way our midfield is being over-run I don't think he'd see much of the ball.

Probably thinks he needs Henderson to shore up the back four,

 

[wpdavid]

Henderson, ummm okayyyyyyy

I can see why: our midfield have pretty much disappeared since half time.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Probably thinks he needs Henderson to shore up the back four,

Yeah, he's probably not wrong either.

Just smacks too much of settling for what we've got given we've already got Rice as a (nominal) screen.

 

[grecian]

Yeah I know but it's pretty obvious we'll be happy with zero-zero, but Grealish has done things at least.

 

[wpdavid]

Yes, we've improved since Henderson and Grealish came on.

And I can see why Rashford's come on for Saka, who's been out of sorts for most of the game. Mind you, so have most of them.

Ugh it’ll be down to how much we beat Iran by right? With goal differential coming in?

 

[grecian]

If you beat Iran you'll be through.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

If this is 0-0 and USA beat Iran they’ll be through. Goal difference won’t matter. We’d have to lose by four to Wales.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ugh it’ll be down to how much we beat Iran by right? With goal differential coming in?

Nah, any win will do you.

Give you 5 points (assuming there's no change in the score tonight) which will be enough in any scenario.

England win - England 7 pts, Wales 1
Wales win - England 4 pts, Wales 4
Draw - England 5 pts, Wales 2

 

[BoyBrumby]

****'s sake; not a player in the US half for Pickford's clearance.

 

[grecian]

Well that was ****, but hey happy with the point in the 0-0 World cup that Fifa and Qatar deserve.

 

[Furball]

That was a dreadful last 15 minutes.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That was atrocious. But just move on I guess.

 

[ripper868]

wales 5 - England 0 is going to really annoy some people.

 

[weeman27bob]

Gareth's brave boys stay unbeaten - it's coming home!

 

[Uppercut]

It’s a lot like the 0-0 with Scotland at the euros, in that it’s a really good result for England that’ll be reported on like it’s an embarrassment.

 

[Shady Slim]

far out the one time i was rooting for ingerlund mannnnn!
