World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[Bucky]

Wales are gonna drag England down into the abyss, like Balrog pulling Gandalf into the depths.

[carlospie]

This is honestly embarrassing. Theyv been outplayed the entire game by USA. This is like a conference team playing a champions League team and shouldn't even be a contest

Iran to go through as group winners after beating USA and Wales to go through after beating England 3-0.

I think it needs to be a bigger margin as England still go through on goals scored?

[Fierce Poodle]

Only another 4 minutes of this shit to endure 

[SeanR]

I fell asleep

[carlospie]

Wales are gonna be well up for England itl be like a cup final 

[Thor]

Well, that's 94 minutes of my life I'll never get back. 

[spork]

That was a banging Friday night game!

[Fierce Poodle]

Bring back Graham Taylor

Is it fuck. It’s more like a top 6 prem team vs a bottom 6 prem team. It’s like Liverpool v Everton. Sometimes they manage a draw.

 

Fucking boring though.

 

 

[glb]

USA win 0-0!

[sith]

Foden sits on the bench for 90mins whilst Mount does fuck all.

 

Baffling!

[Stig]

Is Phil Foden dead because wtf does he need to do to get started or even get a game?

One shot on goal in the second half from England. They were lucky not to lose.

He’s far too attacking and adventurous for a Southgate team.

Mount runs around a lot and runs around a lot and runs around a lot and tries really hard.

0-0 then England draw with Wales and Iran win the group beating USA.

 

 

Im sticking with this.

[feltmonkey]

A frustrating result, but that puts us on 4 points with one game to play. A win against Wales guarantees that we top the group. A draw puts us through.

 

As for the match itself, it wasn't great, but it wasn't the disaster some people are seeing it as. I thought Maguire was excellent, easily the man of the match. What happens to him in international tournaments? He looks reborn. Shaw played well as well, Kane was really good but missed a couple of good chances. I know I slated him when he came on, but Henderson did really well.

Was a shit nod to this rather insane front page:

 

[englishbob]

USA didn't outplay England, they were both as uninspired as each other.

 

Hate this playing from the back shite all the time, with no variation it's predictable

Kane was easily England's best defender

He’s been taking positional advice from Rooney.

[Ork1927]

Southgate is really pleased against a tough opponent and it was always going to be hard to replicate the performance in the first game.

 

Really?

[Angles Morts]

Is it me or is Jack Grealish losing his looks?

Not to us. He still looks like a dog with floppy ears to my daughters 2 years after the euros.

Troy Hawke telling him he has “a fabulously symmetrical face” causing confusion for the former Villa man is some good stuff.

 

 

[Ork1927]

I’ve got a better prediction.

 

Wales manage to lead England 1-0 in an awful game while Iran and USA play out a 0-0 draw. England/Wales finishes with Wales winning and both teams looking like they are going through.

 

Then in the 102nd minute - USA or Iran score with a load of VAR nonsense. Maybe a penalty that is missed and retaken because of VAR. Wales put through the wringer thinking they are through or not or are.  Iran or USAA too the group, England finish second and Wales go home with their win against England spoilt by the other game knocking them out late on.

 

A perfect level of misery for both teams.
