Eesh, on defense the US is really dodging bullets at this point.  And on any counter attack the Yanks look right fagged out

USA are getting into the very dubious, if not naive, position of having everyone within 40 yards of their own box when Wales are in possession - leave someone up to receive the clearance! Just like the formation noted above by our Poland correspondent. You can`t release the pressure if you`re set only to suck it up (a gag for all you vacuum enthusiasts out there).

The consequence of a penalty in the box is to me the most absurd aspect of the sport.  

 

 

The more of this World Cup that you watch, I`m afraid the officials will offer you ever-increasingly baffling examples of what constitutes a penalty.

Rule No.1 - the penalty award must, wherever possible, be completely disproportionate to the original threat on goal.

Hmmm. Well that makes the group more opaque than it was earlier. If Iran are the whipping boys, who do England fancy taking it easy on?

 

Anyone got a trade deal to offer? :coy:

It'll probably come down to goal differential. I wouldn't put it past Iran to let Wales score about 12 on them.  :wink:

I think Wales will be happier with the point than USA. 

On the evidence of what I have seen so far, England should beat both these teams.

It just makes the battle for 2nd spot in the group very interesting!!
