USA-Wales gets it's own thread.

We didn't talk about day 1? Fuck Qatar.

A female presenter from Spain is cohosting on Telemundo right now and she talking like she has done coke and meth, but she’s really focused, so maybe she snorted Adderall as well. 

It’s comical how fast she was talking.

I think that’s called Spanish.

That form tackle of Harry Maguire would have been legal if Harry had had the ball AND the ball looked like this 🏈.

That was ridiculous. 

[WBT 20559]

Iran deciding to roll with the concussed keeper it looks like.

Damn, how long was that delay?

[Napoleon 8658]

Iranian keeper has to have a broken nose. Probably a concussion too. 
 

England is tall AND fast. 
 

Iran 🇮🇷 is probably going to switch keepers. What a fucking bummer for the Iranian #1. He lasts about 9 minutes, if that. Less than that. 

The keeper smashed his face on his teammate’s forehead with 7:15 on the game clock.

He wants to stay in, but he had to change his kit.

His nose is huge… even without the smack.

The restart came at 15;38.

[achooloco 1067]

Why y’all talking past tense? 

[Bottlecap 1523]

absolutely intimidated how loaded England is, except for maguire at the 5 lol

No doubt a broken nose & concussion.  Idiotic they were gonna let him continue.  Had to have been 12-13 minute delay 

[Napoleon 8658]

7:15 Keeper smacks his face on his teammate.

15:38 Keeper takes a goal kick to restart the game. 

16:18 Keeper is sitting on the ground 

19:15 England restarts with a throw in.

Need more crowd shots

[Bottlecap 1523]

rooting for an upset is fun, but we need england just to take all 3 and for iran to be eliminated before we play em

[Longboard Horn 40284]

Fuck limey aggy(England). 

[TornACL 7698]

Oh I didn't realize there was a left half of the pitch. I think that's the first time we've seen it in thirty minutes. Fucking iran.

[WBT 20559]

So close for Ol Slabhead

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Boooom

[mdmost 42997]

Future Man U/Man City/Liverpool player Jude Bellingham with the goal

[TexArcher 37761]

Goooooooooooooooooooal!!

[InkaUtexas 25854]

Fuck yes! That was pretty! 

[Halohal 498]

Back up goalie no good

I repeat, England is so TALL and FAST.

Zimmerman is going to be raped like a pre-teen boy at a Doha bathhouse.

If Zimmerman & Long are the starting CBs vs England… we will be lucky to hold them to 3 goals.

Our group is Wales and Iran, England is that exhibition game in the middle.

[Longboard Horn 40284]

No lie, that was a beautiful header into the corner of the net. 

[TexArcher 37761]

Sakaaaaaaaaaa!!

Yeah, England is good.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Clinical

[TexArcher 37761]

Jesus, what a strike.

[WBT 20559]

Pretty

[Macklemore 2876]

Iran getting embarrassed. England has an impressive side. If they don’t make it to the semifinals it’d be a disappointment.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Well time to go get ready for work I guess

[mdmost 42997]

England can put it on cruise control now.

Not really, England just playing to their potential.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Two excellent finishes for England. I missed the first one. Fuck Iran (‘s government)

[TexArcher 37761]

Maybe England will win this 7-0 and be content with a 1-1 againat USMNT?

[ztejas 43411]

Soooo the US should get 3 from Iran.

That would be their greatest tie with us since Bunker Hill

Do we get to use Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Saka, etc?

I feel like the takeaway here is that England is really fucking good.  Iran still played very well in qualifying.

[Buzzrock 14901]

Getcha some Saka

Meh, when we head into that game with 6 points and a +15 goal differential we may be overlooking them.

No we get to use Christian Pulisic, Giovanni Reyna, Brenden Aaronson, Yunus Musah etc. 

Granted they actually have a couple 9s worth a shit.

"should" meaning we have no excuse not to. I'm not penciling it in. 

[alincoln 2371]

Iran's back 6:

GK: Iran league

RWB: Dinamo Zagreb

CB: Iran league

CB: Iran league

CB: Kayserispor (Turkish league)

LWB: AEK Athens 

[alincoln 2371]

Southgate finally played only 2 CBs.  Playing an attacking lineup against a completely outclassed defense will yield that 1H.   

Maguire looks great in a game where his primary responsibility is to win headers in the opposition box.  He will get exposed immediately when he has to repeatedly defend pace on the turn.

Actually, I'm hoping for 6 or 7...

[Napoleon 8658]

Only 14 minutes of added time…

…to a FIRST half.

Along with what was posted above, only Harry Maguire against speed has the potential to derail their train.

Only Weah would be someone to beat them in the middle. If Weah is playing on the right, he may beat Trippier (or is he on the right) to the end line for a cross, but our smaller guys crashing the box are going to get hip-checked into the stands.
