The Football.....

FFS Bale scores a penalty and commentators go mental over how wonderful he is as as if no one else could score a penalty

You could do a serious injury hitting that ball so hard at the goalkeeper.

That'll do.

Luckily, he missed him.

If Wales don't get a goal here they're going to lose.

If Wales don't get a goal now they can't win.

Good result for Wales after a poor first half,. Keeps the group interesting.

Yes it does! The simplest assumption is that Iran will lose all their games; but now there's been a draw between two of the three contenders, all sorts of permutations are possible.
As an ENG fan I'd been hoping us and Wales would win the first two games, leaving the final game as a low stress finale. Now things are more complicated!

Wales will be hoping England can beat USA on Friday, whilst they dispatch Iran to leave it set up for a British version of the Disgrace of Gijon!

Given the heavy Curse of Controversy firmly laid on this tournament, that wouldn't surprise me at all!

*Hopefully* ENG will go all out for a win, but only manage 1-0, after thumping USA. Wales can then scrape through on goal difference, sending the Yanks home in the whinge bus.

George Weah's son looked a better player than George Weah's "cousin" Ali Dia.

Argentina are doing their usual of being vaguely hopeless. Very inexperienced side to be fair.

I'm getting tired of Souness, Keane etc (and half a dozen others) telling us 'we shouldn't be here'!
Maybe that will stop by the semi finals .... I just want to enjoy the footy .... have you seen the score?
