This game, and probably the group as a whole at the moment, could do with a Wales goal.

Not watching the other game, but it looks like Iran are parking the bus with 0 shots on goal and 38% possession 

It's not that they are defensive per se, but any time they break their passing is absolutely awful

[Coulthard's Jaw]

A joke this lad was allowed to carry on playing

[m_fenton]

This is fine, considering how many fouls against there have been. No particular preference whether we top the group or not, but making a few chances.

[CFuller]

Neco's done, surely.

Missing quality this game. Pulisic is head and shoulders above anybody else

[Confused Clarity]

Williams needs to come off if there's even a slight concern over concussion. 

[cyclonus1010]

Trent's not gonna get many minutes at all if he can't get a start against us.

[aiston]

Football failing it's players time and time again on head injuries.

If you don't think this is defensive the I don't know what to say. Absolutely no intention of doing anything in the game this half it's like a training game. That suits us tbh we don't have to pick up the pace and run ourselves ragged for a second game in a row.

[Darius1998]

Iran need to get a hold of it in midfield. Every time they keep trying to launch an early long ball at one of the forwards.

Allow temp subs if there's a head issue, really simple thing to do.

[Constantine]

It's a ****ing crime Southgate is managing this generation.

[Andrew_]

Are Beavis and Butthead in the commentary booth?

[georginho_juventusygr]

Good to take Williams off for suspected concussion.

Aye, temp subs like in Rugby and a 10 minute assessment pitch side.

[The_jagster]

Iran could also do with someone pacy, they don't have anyone the US should really fear getting the ball on the run. US have the physical edge too

[pearcey_90]

It’s perfect for Wales though. They’re never winning 4-0, this it’s still 0-0, England fans will get frustrated rightly so, and they can up it more in 2nd half.

[Constantine]

I'm not even English and I'm mad at the state of this

[Wiggins Top Boys]

Oh that would have been world class

[Pukey]

That would have been incredible

[georginho_juventusygr]

Foden is feeling the pressure!

[Darren Moores Mum]

That was nice.

I'm talking about Iran fwiw

[PMLF]

US goal  

No surprise though.

[cyclonus1010]

Cracking bit of football that was though.

[DJ]

A goal for all of North America!

[Darius1998]

There it is! Pulisic 1-0.

[GunmaN1905]

USA takes the lead.

 

Lebron of soccer finally delivers.

[Redshift]

Oooooooooooofff

[JJ72]

Pulisic goal

[JJ72]

That goal could open the flood gates,  Iran really are awful

[RTHerringbone]

Pulisic has had a great tournament so far in my opinion. Like a pesky wasp.

[Rob1981]

Deserved a goal that. Knocking it about like Brazilians in an airport lounge.

[Darren Moores Mum]

This is better.

[bflaff]

Certainly deserved something at this point.

 

[Orzelek]

Pulisic puts USA in front

 

Was coming for a while

[AK22]

That’s a bit more like it 

[Rebs]

England all over them here last 10...Wales are awful

[pearcey_90]

Foden picking the ball up centrally. Get him there and Saka RW. 

[The_jagster]

A bit lazy from Iranian centre backs, Pulisic comes from a long way back to get there first.

[Darius1998]

Pulisic needs to be taken off here. Doesn't look right.

[RTHerringbone]

Get Henderson off, move Foden inside and get Saka wide. We call all see it.

[Haguey]

Proper tinpot play from Wales here, they know they need to win right. We should pick them off as soon as they come out though.

[arenaross]

Foden needs to prove himself at the highest level before he can be considered a starter iirc.

Southgate is our manager though, thats about 10 levels above Gareths level of adventure.

Pep rates him, Southgate doesn't, make of that what you will  

[Confused Clarity]

The one thing we can finally say the Qataris have got right if @Weezer is evidence,  they've managed to allow people in a football stadium to get a phone signal.

 

Some would say, that's not a good thing in Weezer's case mind. 😉
