Had to go, really.

That was more like assault than a foul

Should they not have checked the offside?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:49 am

A point would be wonderful for Wales now.

Probably.

Not got a clue how this game is goalless

The Hung Juror · Post by **The Hung Juror** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:50 am

Now playing with 9, given Bales contribution.

Muric > Hennessey

9 mins extra, Wales will do well to hang on now.

Can’t stand wales , particularly the tiresome romanticisation the bbc generate over a gaggle of hicks in bucket hats

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:58 am

It’s like a kids game. 1 player gets the ball runs and shoots. Repeat.

No difference in taking Ramsey off

Thoroughly deserved to be honest.

They'll have to bring Bale on now , oh wait a minute .

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:00 pm

Justice. Well done Iran, especially with the stress the players must be under, their former teammate arrested yesterday.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:01 pm

Hell of a shot.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:01 pm

Well deserved.
Wales did well to qualify, and needed to raise their game for the tournament, and they just haven't.
Too many individuals just looked no where near good enough.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:01 pm

They’ve been very poor Wales. Some very negative play going forward. Bale offers nothing.

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:02 pm

Abject showing, from Wales.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:03 pm

This could make the group interesting if England beat USA. England will qualify and Wales will need to beat us to have a chance.

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:03 pm

Watch Wales have a worldly now against England now.

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:04 pm

Seeing more of Bale after the match than during .

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:04 pm

2-0 is a fair reflection of the play, Iran look a decent side on the evidence of today, particularly the 2nd half.

Iran-USA could well be a KO game in all but name.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:04 pm

Joe Allen has probably had better 5 minute spells in his career.

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:05 pm

If I was welsh I’d be furious with Bale. Biggest game for over 60 years and he doesn’t turn up.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:06 pm

Beat USA tonight and we are through so that means we can weigh up whether to play reserves against Wales. Finishing 2nd behind Iran may be the best route, that will be made clearer by the Wales match. Hard to see Iran getting past us on GD though.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:07 pm

Bale should not even be in the Welsh squad. Just because he was once one of the best players in the world doesn't mean he justifies a place in the team.

Disasterous result for the USA, they need to beat either England or Iran now.

Maybe Iran aren't that bad afer all.

It's coming home.

The Hung Juror · Post by **The Hung Juror** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:09 pm

Wales second best all over the pitch. It’s alright carrying a player on reputation, if that player delivers a moment of magic. I thought Bale was poor against USA, he just happened to score the penalty.

Yes, the do look better than even I gave them credit for after the first game, although Wales aren't up to much.

Assuming England beat USA tonight, it will likely be a straight shoot out between the US and Iran, and both would probably have taken that prior to the tournament.

Payment to club is apportioned based on time at club. So, approximate £120k for Nick Pope, £120k Connor Roberts, £80k Wayne Hennessey, £40k Wout Weghorst and £40k Anass Zaroury. Total £400k.

Roberts didn't do well but Joe Allen!!! two touches led to two goals.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:16 pm

I think both teams knew they had to win it, but Page gambled on Ramsey and Bale having a moment of brilliance, and they were completely anonymous, and eventually 11 v 9 told

Felt for Joe Allen though, asked to come on to somehow hold a huge hole in the midfield, and hasn't played for months, and it showed

Are you assuming England beat the USA? That is brave, history is not on England’s side and the USA will cause England problems.
