Although obviously Iran 🇮🇷 were uber crap they still needed to be beaten (didn’t they Argentina 🇦🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪?)
Having said that I was quite impressed by the way Southgate set up the side and didn’t bow to pressure to drop certain players because they’re not currently involved at club level.
If all are fit I’m sure he’ll keep to the same XI leaving pace (Rashford) and skill (Grealish and Foden) on the bench until the final third of the match when the yanks should be out on their feet.

I'm expecting carnage tomorrow night. The stadium where the game is taking place is about 20 minutes away from the fan zone which is one of only a handful of places in Qatar where supporters can get a beer. Not sure if the Qatar government have realised that yet

I'll be watching Marvellous whilst the match is on, no doubt have a chinwag with Malcolm and Neil about it after. Can watch it on your phone with ear buds😉. I listened to a game at my sister's wedding on headphones. Someone behind did notice as I did a subtle air punch when Kavanagh scored and they guessed I wasn't celebrating what the priest was saying.

I think it will be a tight victory.
The camp are a bit too keen to stress Kane's availability, I'm not convinced he's fit enough to play I hope I'm wrong.......

When I got married it was a 4PM wedding and the priest came out and gave the HT score to everyone before we started, we were winning, and George berry had scored.

Made the mistake of flying during the last WC final, got may days confused, thought the game on a Saturday and be home on time . Was boarding the plane at Dubai was the teams we're lining up 😟 Pilot kept everyone up dated but had £100 on France before competition started so want too bad. My cousin hot married the day Ireland played Mexico in the USA WC but she put a screen up and the wedding do back a couple of hours do all could watch ..

Just found out that that Geo Reyna that plays for the US is Claudio Reyna’s kid. I am old Not as a old as me apperently. Born in Sunderland. Big surprise that he didn’t start against Wales and an even bigger surprise he didn’t come on as sub. He’s done very well in Germany. I expect him to start. edit. If he starts and Pulisik plays better, England’s defense will have their hands full.

England no bother. Kane to notch 2, 1 a penalty, Sterling and Foden.
4-1

Does Iran win change USA approach to this game? I think it might have. If Wales had won, a draw tonight would not be such a good result as even a win against Iran wouldn't necessarily see USA through if England and Wales drew. After Wales' defeat, US can afford to draw tonight and beat Iran to go through.

A draw means avoiding a 4 goal hammering by Wales and we're through.
But much better to win, then rest players v Wales.
