tbf if England win tonight, they've basically won the group save Iran putting about eight goals past the US, so it wouldn't entirely surprise me if they half-assed the hell out of the Wales game

england's bench are a million miles better than wales xi who have looked like poo poo in both matches, but they could definitely give the least possible fucks imaginable

Turner; Dest, Ream, Zimmerman, Robinson; Adams, Musah, McKennie; Weah, Wright (for Sargent), Pulisic.

well, time to find out if haji wright has anything to offer i guess. seems like it would be ideal to know that before this match, but here we are

i agree with bringing reyna off the bench today to start him vs iran but if i don't see him by minute 70 i'm gonna murder

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I realize that England is widely considered the superior team, so a draw for the U.S. is kind of a win. But, on the other hand, LOL at the people who went all the way to Qatar to watch two straight draws, including one against a country the size of Arkansas.

edit: are there any young players in the U.S. who are considered especially gifted shooters? Is there, like, a 16-year-old striker averaging a goal a game who'll be ready for the next World Cup? I think this team is actually pretty decent in an all-around sense, but nobody can pull a rabbit out of their hat.

waiting 4 years between the team throwing together ~30 minutes of looking like we know what we're doing in 180+ minutes of soccer is indeed boring tho

Feels bad that they’ll be going home with 2 points, 1 goal and the memory of Pulisic standing over a free kick

Everyone seems pretty let down, and I'm also a little frustrated by things like careless passing from Zimmerman and our relentless indifference in regards to scoring goals or attempting set pieces, BUT after a week of hearing how Saka and Sterling were going to torch our end and scream up and down the pitch for a dozen-goal win, I found it satisfying to watch Robinson FLYING all over to shut things down. And Tyler Adams, wow

The blown lead against Wales sucks but all that would have gotten them is being able to advance with a draw. A loss vs Iran in that scenario still puts them out of the tournament most likely.

Nystral posted:

Yes if either win they advance no matter what. USA would be at 5 points so if England wins then they're in even if Wales wins the most Wales can get is 4. Iran is in with a win because 6 points.

Yea unless it’s a draw in which case Iran advance (unless somehow Wales beat England which will create an entirely new version of chaos but England will probably be fine on goal difference)

Wales will have to beat England by 4 to advance with a US/Iran draw.

I can think of nothing more England than to come out of the box with a 6-2 win, then advance sheepishly into the quarters on the heel of a 3-0 loss to Wales

Wales would have to score like 8 goals to win the group, but not just to go through

If Iran and the USA draw and Wales beat England, then everyone is on 4 points except the USA (who go home in disgrace)

England currently have a goal difference of +4
Wales currently have a goal difference of -2
Iran currently have a goal difference of -2

Wales winning would put them ahead of Iran by right, but they would need to win by four to overtake England, which they would need to do if there's a winner in the Iran/USA game
