Please take off Henderson.  Hes dreadful 

He’s the captain of arguably one of the best modern era football teams. He certainly isn’t dreadful and is a phenomenal leader, the commentators have mentioned how they can hear him screaming “press” every time we are out of possession. 

It’s very very tough to successfully attack against a team of top class footballers who are happy to sit back and defend. If they win 1-0 it’s a result they’ll talk about for years to come. 

It will come. We need a successful press and a counter or a piece of individual brilliance. Once that happens it’ll open up more and we could score a few.

Southgate is to blame. His tedious defensive style is grating

You lost me at 'team full of top class footballers'

This is a terrible watch. Our midfield is so one paced and technicaly lacking.

[simongarnerisgod]

i don`t think mr southgate knows how to tactically change while the game is in play

[JohnD]

Seriously the USA game is a great watch, all out attack

Wales are going to have to open up in the 2nd half if they want a chance of getting 2nd place,you would think they need a draw to go through the way they played in the first half

[jim mk2]

I'd recommend watching the Iran-US game. Some good football and 2 competitive teams

Iran are capable of an equaliser and if Wales nick a late winner and England and Wales would go through, which would be great for British football

All to play for.

Bellingham has showed a few decent touches but I don’t get the Foden hype. He’s a good player, and in an amazing team gets in a lot of good positions to score plenty of goals. But he isn’t some generational world talent as far as I can see.

If you’d ever been around even lower league footballers you’d realise the talent and game management of a professional footballer.

They might not all be ‘elite’, but they’re certainly top class. It isn’t easy to break down a team like that.

They’ll take this right to the 80th minute - maybe even longer - before they open up and go for it.

Iran aren’t beating the USA but for a miracle. Wales are playing to say they’ve beaten England.

They're clearly mostly lower league players.  But I usually agree with what u say

Rashford missed a gilt edged opportunity, that would have changed the game.

At the moment Wales are happy to sit in a 4-5-1 and currently we don't quite have the fluidity to break them down. We don't look like we've played together much.

Make your mind up.

Half an hour ago you said that Foden was `doing what he normally does for England. Eff all`.

There goes that plan!

Down to Southgate not utilising his talent 

[roverandout]

Foden is brilliant 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Well, who'd have thought it!

Ward (Leicester) 

Williams (Forest)

Mepham (Bournemouth)

Rondon (Rennes)

Davies (Spurs)

Allen (Nice)

Ampadu (Spezia)

Ramsey (Nice)

James (Fulham)

Moore (Bournemouth)

10/11 players are all playing in the top leagues of the world - England, France or Italy. The other player is Gareth Bale. 

There’s your moment of brilliance from Rashford. We will score a few now. 

EDIT: there’s your second from Foden. Could be 4-0 this. 

[K-Hod]

2-0, in a bit bucket hats x

Wales have had an absolute Ray Harford of a tournament. 3 awful performances
