Imagine being blessed with good looks and football talent only to ruin your personality with it.

I hear Kai Havertz is a lovely fella...

Big game for the Welsh today. The draw with Pulisican means second place behind England is down to who beats Iran better/loses to England by the least amount of goals.

Could go either way but being my usual optimistic self I reckon Wales can get the job done and make it through, with a hopefully entertaining win today too 🙂

It's hard to get a full house. George Best had the good looks, the football talent, and the personality, but he pickled his body.

True. Much easier to get a full house of the reverse of these.

Bingo right over here!

Brazil can trust Silva to move over the half way line and play defense splitting passes, we take one look at his age and play him as deep as possible. We are so negative as a team and focus too much on where teams can hurt us rather than where we can hurt them.

It is international football. 

The intensity and the speed of the game is very low. 

Ronaldo n Felix starting over Rafael leao make 0 sense. 

Wales looking distinctly second best to Iran so far, but still 0-0, so anyone's game I suppose.

I've been watching since roughly the 60 minute mark, and it's practically all Iran.

It's gone from "it's only Iran" to "it's all Iran".

Refs dont know the rules.

He needed VAR to tell him that was a red. where do they get these refs?

Five minutes away from the telly and Wales are down to 10 men 

 

0:0 still going strong, you would think that Wales has some quality after their first match but nope they're just terrible.

You can't say it hasn't been coming, but it hurts even more when its this late into the game.

Hilarious that that went in considering Iran's #23 had been shouting for the ball while completely unmarked on the right for a full 90 seconds.

Wales look a bit f**ked to be honest. Their star players from previous tournaments are effectively passengers, and the solid spine isn't as good as it was. They'll have to hope that we absolutely batter the USA and half-arse the last game. Even a famous win against England won't be enough if Iran beat the USA.

Unbelievable that the ref gave a goal-kick for that. Remember watching the match and thinking then that it should have been a straight red. Not even a booking. Sounds like Sean Connery commenting on the video.

Curtains for the Welsh. They looked very average, even 11 vs 11. 

 

Welcome to World Cup pain Wales.

So the genius Bale who scores when he wants chose not to score....he barely broke sweat in that game.

Good goals from Iran, gives them a good chance of going through, their match with the USA is now likely to be a decider. 

In stupid made up football jargon we now have receptions what the hell does that mean ? don't bother I don't want to know 😆

Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Hazard might do something great during a game but their all finished at this level especially Bale who has nothing to offer but set pieces. Reminds me a bit of when Peter Osgood came back he was completely finished although he had terrible players around him second time round.

Disappointing outcome, but a deserved one. 

If you show up for only 1 half out of 4 then you face getting knocked out, and that is exactly where the Welsh are now and facing the possibility of ending up bottom to boot too
