Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

With the draw against the USA, it's a proper "must win" for Wales.

And Iran, who are having a go.

Those scenes during the Iranian anthem, wow.

Those Iranians crying for their country....wow.

Incredible, and probably all sorts of reasons behind it. Players apparently pressured into singing the anthem this time "or else". Not exactly belting it out we're they!

>400 dead kids might have something to do with it.

Good to see the team showing some attacking intent which isn't Quieroz' usual MO.

Bale is one lazy twat.

Some idiot on Facebook was claiming CR7 is the greatest world cup goal scorer, he's not even the top WC goal scorer named Ronaldo.

Soz, LH. I was replying to you yesterday and then didn't but it's appeared here.

Muppetry on my part

Wales have to sort out their sloppy passing.

Wales aren't actually that good it seems. Iran are better than them here.

I've seen Wales play a lot better than this TBF. Today the passing is lazy and they're wilting a bit under Iran's decent press - just wondering if the Welsh started with an attitude problem? They need to sharpen up quickly.

No they don't.  F'kem.

The gloating will be ceaseless if they achieve the faintest success.

I don't mind if they do well - I know we're better.

You're not surrounded by the bastards.

These 2 like giving the ball away  under no pressure. Come on Iran.

Some of the Welsh passing reminds me of BWFC at our worst. Ramsey has looked off his game and he used to be excellent but TBH nobody in the Welsh team seems to be on their game today. I think the Iranian effort has rattled them.

How fucking shit are they? If the match against them is not a dead rubber I can see England hammering them.

The commentator we have down here said that was a great first half!  I must have L/H Whites joke shop glasses on.

I wouldn't put too much stock in his opinions he appeared to forget the word for 'sun' and came up with 'unshade'

You just know they will turn into prime Germany against England.

Iran taking the piss here

Brennan Johnson and Dan James (although he's not a footballer) are decent substitutes to bring on in this instance to be fair, good for a counter-attack

Wales have no shape. Holes everwhere

Iran are so athletic, putting the miles in and hunting them down all over the pitch.

Looking at their squad, I'm surprised they didn't call up Sheehan. Their other midfielders play at MK Dons and Swindon!

Here’s a tip for Welsh footballers; if your best kick is 3/4 of the pitch, don’t try to pass from one touchline all the way to the other. 
 

I’ve lost count of the number of long passes falling way short of their intended target.
