zepphead Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Deserved half time lead for USA. Wales need to change tactics - pretty woeful so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Back from mowing the lawn and I see that Wales is upping its intensity Should be fun the rest of the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The US is allowing far too many crosses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Eesh, on defense the US is really dodging bullets at this point. And on any counter attack the Yanks look right fagged out (Did I say that last bit right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That was nice work by Roberts and Johnson to create a quick counter and scoring opportunity No goal though. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 A word to the wise - avoid letting any cross get near Bale as the clock ticks down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 After seeing some of our late-match decision-making, I'll take a draw, thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Not quite sure the refs are World Cup quality yet but hopefully will improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past Iran to let Wales score about 12 on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 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!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahLutz Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 There was a lot of drama in the England's 6-2 drubbing of Iran. And the US dominated and took a draw from the jaws of victory. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Okay. Maybe I misjudged Romero in failing to deal with the Saudi forwards. Turns out they are magnificent and inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
