Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[davek]

Stage set then, England win or draw and USA/Iran draw and it’s Senegal on Sunday, lose and that game draws still the case with Wales facing the Netherlands on Saturday

Iran win and they get Senegal with England facing the Netherlands with a draw, USA win and they’d have to overturn England’s GD should the latter draw

It’s win or bust for the Welsh as a double draw or defeat for them sends them home

Against either the Dutch or Senegal the Crusaders will have a tough time getting through.

We're nearly ready, it's nearly time, get your penalty shouts prep'd, its England to shine...

Scrape past these and maybe Senegal and then get cut to ribbons vs the French?

Iran play with a lot of passion. I hope they go through at the expense of the Yanks.

Iran, who weirdly didnt turn up against England, are a decent, committed side. Lob in their domestic issues, and literally, anything could happen. Will be an enjoyable couple of hours watching the group unfold either way.

 

[Tommy Chong]

It looks like the support in the Welsh countryside is definitely up for it tonight!

Still think Aaronson or Gio should start. Iran is going to sit back and I think they'd be key in unlocking the defense. They better come on early 2nd half if we still need a goal

I fancy them to beat the Yanks, tbh. The US team have one or two good individuals but if Iran play like they did against Wales they'll win.

Come on Wales, smash these crumpet-eating, inbred-hemophiliac worshipping knobs.
Also need the two fanatical religious nutjob countries to draw

You have to make changes at halftime if it is 0-0 or God forbid you're behind. No time to waste.

Ramsey and Bale still in there.

Page is a coward.

 

[MrPerfectNot]

I've had the Algeria goal call on a loop for the last hour

If only Landon could still run that fast.....

No…compassionate. It is the last World Cup game for both. Nice touch

His policy in the whole tournament has hamstrung Wales.

Understandable in a way, but after that American game he should never have played two players who were passengers. Page has sabotaged Wales' WC effort because he was too weak to drop 'star' players.

Big stones at this juncture changing a CB pairing.

Fair play to GGG here
