I did enjoy watching the Swiss. Five of their starters either play for or have played for Gladbach....
That was the pass of the competition from Ahmad Nourollahi volleyed pass to the guy’s chest ! View attachment 227448 View attachment 227449
How is that not a red card? He almost ninja kicked him in the head and bulldozed the attacker? Edit: VAR got it right there.
Also another proud parent-moment: Markus just said that keeper cannot play against England. Good knowledge of the rules.
Iran, with 36% possession (pre-red card), had 4 shots on, and while allowing Wales more possession than the US did, held them to the same number of shots on target. Wales isn’t good.
Wales play a rather uninspiring version of soccer. I do not care for it. I wish the Yanks could have gotten a better result.
There was a similar assault on Dan James about 5 minutes earlier down the left . The ref just played on ..
Iran 1-0 Wales. We need a win against either England, or an Iran team that beat a team we couldn’t. Not great.
Iran deserved it .. wonder why they didn’t play like that against England The goal came from a dreadful clearance from Joe Allen
If we lose 2-0 to England, we’ll be tied on goal difference. Iran will have 4 goals for and we’ll have 1. England game is even bigger than before. Stu Holden just said Iran “dominated” Wales. Lalas just said it too. This is what a dominating performance against Wales looks like everyone.
Disagree. We play better with our backs against the wall and the players know plodding possession won't get the job done.
