The further I’ve got away from the game, the more I’ve calmed down and realised that this was probably a pragmatic decision ‘not to lose’. We’re not pretty much guaranteed to qualify. As much as it was boring to watch, it’s probably the wise thing to do in tournament football.

I don't think there was any decision whatsoever to be honest.BigFatSam wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 1:23 pm The further I’ve got away from the game, the more I’ve calmed down and realised that this was probably a pragmatic decision ‘not to lose’.

Iran were rubbish and USA were not, I don't think we had any say on the matter, just played the same as we normally do, difference being The yanks pressed and closed us down, the Iranians just bent over.
Wales as poor as they are will follow the USA game plan to a tee, and it will cause us problems, just hope our quality will shine through.

I don't think Wales have the quality, pace or athleticism to play like that to be honest.

It'll be like West Ham playing lower league opposition in the FA Cup.
We should win comfortably but will inevitably make hard work of it.
