Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Drico]

Very good from England going forward, albeit against pub defending. At the back, lots of gaps that will, eventually, prove their undoing.

Despite the gushing overplayed and cringeworthy praise from the BBC pundits it was a good first 45 for 3-0

Second 45 was 3-2 with them smashing the bar. This is against one of the weakest teams in this sham of a competition.

England hit the bar also...

England is like Everton in the cups: as soon as they face a superior team they will be out of the competition. France in the quarter finals and I'll bet my house on it.

Are England starting to BELIEVE?

Would have liked to see Iran win today. Will be hopeful of a Wales and USA win when England play them.

Supporting Brazil for the tournament.

Iran are the whipping boys. It's between England, Wales and the Yanks....GD might determine this group.

England hit the bar also...

And should have had a penalty

Pickford motm, closely followed by Coady.

Question: are people actually genuine in this support for England?

FFS, I never thought I'd see an Everton forum with people celebrating one of their wins.

I'm goiing to assume it's just ironic support, any other explanation doesn't bear thinking about.

Im English, of course im going to support England.

What do you want me to? Pretend im Welsh? Like some people have.......................

I thought that until I saw the Benzema news. They might make the semi now.

I think Iran might shock Wales actually. And the States. There's geopolitical beef there.

So if I were Welsh I'd be hoping England get cocky and the Welsh and yanks do them.

We knocked out Germany just in the last tournament on the way to the final? Don't be so envious

Throw some patio furniture for God's sake. Let's get this world cup started.

Is this an acknowledgment that there’s only about 5 superior teams in the world to England?

Rice and Bellingham look a very solid pairing, Saka is just a superb footballer

England made it look quite easy, I don't think the US or Wales will manage to break down Iran nearly as easily
