World Cup 2022

[Hasta]

Hope JDT watched that.

In the first half Plan A saw Wales get outplayed.

2nd half saw a completely different game plan and a huge transformation in the balance of the game.

Good coaching from the sidelines.

[Gav]

Wales deserved that, superb by the manager to change things at H/T.

Hope the fans can find a beer or 3 after the game.

I expected this world cup to be hi tech but it's far from it.

Stadia look decent but tent villages a joke at £175/night and water not potable, TV coverage on a par with RoversTV. P1ss poor overall.

Edit forgot I'm watching on amzfootball 🤣

I had no idea Waggott was involved in organising the world cup as well.

Wales went route one a lot more in the second half. What we should have done at the Dingle dome. Play in your opponents half. Going solely off the respective performances today England are two goals better than either of those teams. Wether it pans out like that is another story. I can’t see past England going through, especially with tonight’s game being a draw.

Well played Wales. Good fightback after a poor first half. It's great to see them playing in the finals after 64 years. Top players like Rush, Hughes and Giggs never made it to the WC but Bale is a worthy successor to the great John Charles

That women in the studio is talking rubbish. Wales can afford to rest bale on Friday... Does she realise it's a group. I was amazed Roy Keane didn’t laugh or sneer more at that comment! It’s not like wales reserves would guarantee a win vs Iran - even the first team wouldn’t be certain of it! Yes let Swindon's Johnny Williams play instead or Portsmouth’s Joe Morrell

I thought Wales were poor, in the second half USA ran out of steam. Pretty poor fitness levels from both sides. Sloppy passing all round. England have nothing to fear in this group.

It's to do with pre match perception and then moves on to what actually occured.

Not really difficult to grasp is it.

Sounds more like making it up as you go along to be honest

Just watching highlights on BBC. At least Gabby Logan can pronounce Qatar correctly unlike most pundits I’ve heard who pronounce it as a nasal problem.

I thought Valencia's header was very good finish from him. Ecuador played well first half and they managed the second half to not allow Qatar any chance of getting back into the game. 

 

Good finish?  Don't be silly Chaddy he headed it onto his shoulder then in.

I thought both VAR penalty decisions were correct 🙈🙈

I can not see.how they gave Irans and not at least one of the two simultaneous fouls on us.  It was a bear hug and body smackdown.  Stinks.  As is always the case with us at tourneys we seem to get screwed with bad major decisions.

Thankfully not major in this case though as we still won by a very convincing scoreline. Rather get the shite decisions out of the way now!

How good is Bellingham? The guy has everything.  Rice too was class today. Our bench is just so strong.  We haven't yet seen maddison play. I really don't think there are many stronger squads in this tournament

Maybe and quite similar to your style of posting which generally targets other posters.

Notice that?

I mean it was you who responded to my post (that wasn't even directed at anyone) and signed off with an arrogant "Not really difficult to grasp is it.". Don't get shirty cos I had a dig back.

It reminds me of playing United when Keane was in their team. It was like playing against 12 men. Bellingham could be anything he wants to be.

[roverandout]

Argies get a penalty for exactly what happened yesterday.  Fifa really don't like us. This  f*cking proves it

[USABlue]

VAR Penalty much softer than the two fouls on the English.

Been proved in many World Cups since 66.

[roverandout]

Argie players every time they're touched.

[roverandout]

Argentina don't look that impressive.  Certainly giving possession away in midfield.  They don't have anyone close to Bellingham 

[Sparks Rover]

Saudi holding that high line.. 😅🤣🤣🤣

Pub football  - then again at least Messi not camped on edge of box

Corrupt VAR
