England could be knocked out with a defeat to Wales and a positive result in U.S. v Iran. No evidence Wales can do that, but makes final round interesting.

England poor, can't see the likes of Spain, Brazil, France being that worried about them.

England such a strange outfit. They don't press. Don't maintain possession. Don't take risks. Fullbacks don't overlap. Kane seems to be always at 10 when needed at 9, and vice versa. Sterling has got be the most frustrating player a smart football could play alongside. Mount just an odd footballer.. it looks as though Gareth's "Masterplan" is to win a WC by set pieces, yet he leaves Grealish on the bench, a one man free kick winning machine.

Such a strange bunch.

Wales need to hammer England to put England out. It's goal difference and not head to head if 2 teams level on points.

Back the corners, plenty in games during these tournaments

This. Better off resisting giving knee jerk reactions after one match

Did not know. Those goals against Iran keep England safe then. Poor tie-break rule by FIFA if two teams end up level.

You'd image the Iran lads will be well up for the Yanks. Should be a cracker.

Vanquishing the great Satan would play better at home than beating Wales, which people could not find on a map.

You have to love the English meltdown after a shite performance.

Bizarre. Some of their play was slower than pedestrian.

Put a score on Iran/ Breatain bheag double.

"We shall overcome " . Sort of ignoring the fact we had them wee Welsh bastards here in Derry in khaki back in the day

Because FIFA  use overall goal difference as a tie breaking criteria before head to head the wales v England game might be a bit of a non event because u cant see wales beating England by 3 or 4 goals if it was a UEFA match wales would only need to win the game because they use head to head first. Suppose you could say wales have themselves to blame because of getting beat by Iran. i personally think head to head should be the first criteria if it was wales v England would be like a playoff to qualify.
