    Iran have dominated Wales so far. Deserve a win.

    If the US don't win today, they will need a win vs Iran to go through.

    Probably not Germany's fault you don't know their players. They are all playing at good clubs/CL or international giants. The market value, although not that great as a lonely source, gives you some hint. Schlotterbeck I give you, is no NT quality yet.

    Mystery to me is how Wales qualified. And how did Iran, US and Wales end up in the same group? Arguably all pot 4 caliber teams.

    Shades of 1998. I went to that match in Lyon. Brutal way to exit the tournament.

    However, that goes for any team in the group stage: 4 or 5 points is a minimum to advance. (I know methematically it's possible with 3 points, but not in this current group B.)

    Enner Valencia possibly out of the WC now and Gakpo also limping

    The teams are obviously targeting the opposing teams main players

    I dislike the way we play. Ecuador has been the better team.

    Ecuador vs Senegal shaping up to be a barn burner

    England looking really limited ... to nobody's surprise. The US needs to put them away.

    He was easy to miss in the US-England match, but Tyler Adams was immense. If you track what he does on the pitch, it was very much like a prime Busquets performance.

    The US overall can be proud of their first two games, except that they've left points on the table. They could've come out with a win in either or both matches, but they sit with two draws needing a win vs. a suddenly resurgent Iran who will definitely be motivated in the final group decider.
