Agreed, but also silly that Oceania don't get at least one fixed spot. I accept that this is changing with the expansion to 48 teams, but in my opinion there's room in 32 for a team from Oceania. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Australia have benefited through having stronger opposition in the Asian region. I doubt they’d want to go back to playing the Cook Islands and Micronesia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Iran are world-beaters, but they showed today that they can offer more than we afforded them on Monday. Although I wasn’t watching intently (had it on iPhone whilst working), I couldn’t believe how open Wales were, and several times the Wales CB was one on one with the Iran CF, but saved himself with a good interception or Iran misplaced a pass. Wales are at their strongest as the underdog, men behind the ball, looking to spring on the counter. Today, they over-committed, and were lucky to go into the final minutes at 0-0, even when they had 11 men. Iran picked them off and deservedly won. Too many times they tried to dribble when pass and move would’ve been the better option (if teammates worked angles). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We win tonight then obviously through. Effectively as group winners as only Iran can catch us and something has to go horribly wrong if they pip us on gd. Draw today and we have 4 points, USA 2, Wales 1 and Iran 3 going in to the last round. Even if we lost our last game you would think that would be enough. Iran and USA could not both go ahead of us, and whilst Wales could, they would need to beat us by about 4 goals. So - win and we are effectively group winners. Draw, and we are effectively through. Lose - and its all in the air! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Canada player moved his left leg unnaturally into the line of the Belgium defender. As you say I think he initiated contact, rather than was fouled. But it’s not easy to spot.

It’s not, and I’ve rarely met anybody who agreed with me. But, unless I’m imagining it, lots of players are now deliberately putting themselves in the way of an opponent who is genuinely trying to kick the ball. If there’s a big back lift it’s easy to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Gareth Bale “The red card really changed the game”. No it didn’t Gaz. You were getting battered anyway. I’m so disappointed with how shit Wales were today. They made Iran look class. A midfield of Allen, Ramsey and Bale is probably the leggiest midfield there’s ever been. Absolutely atrocious! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to type the same, I only saw the 2nd half but it could easily have been 4 or 5 nil with more composure from Iran on the final pass. Fitness levels made a big difference and as others have said, it took a long while to realise Bale was on the pitch. The trouble with such a talisman is you can't really sub them even though it would have evened up the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jüst what I thought. Several times he got 1v1, back to the CB and ball at his feet, but couldn't get past him. Good defending I suppose, but you would expect Kane to be much smarter and get past him a few times in those positions. I think our pace from MF could trouble them if they play the same way, which would be surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
