Hulk Hogan 1-0 Iron Sheikh
Harry Maguire is England's best player so far.
The USA scored a second through McKennie but it was ruled out for offside.
Would love to see the lines on that one - he looked bang in line. Peach of a goal, real shame for it to be ruled out.
That's a hell of a tight offside, was a lovely ball and finish
Wales got a free around the centre there a while ago but opted for a short ball which inevitably went backwards ending with the keeper. Why not try into the box when they have a big old school striker up front?
England are average but Wales are just pure awful. Pity Ukraine didn’t beat them.
Bale gone, not a surprise.
Ian Rush doing some punditry on the BBC I see. First time l’ve ever seen him on the telly I think.
Liam Brady and Duffer didn't hold back on saying how crap the England-Wales match 😂
Bale was non existent anyway.
Bale would have been better off being a late sub for Wales instead of starting these games.
bale has been equally awful and not arsed, you think he would at least run around for his last world cup game, stuck him up front now at least.
The manager has let them down the whole world cup
Savage free.
Great strike by Rashford.
And now Foden, game over,
2-0 Foden. Kane put it on a plate. Game over.
Ah that's poor goalkeeping from Danny Ward. And letting Rashford of all people score from a free kick. Pfft!
2-0 now.
Slop from Wales.
Bottom line, Wales have been dire.
The results don't look as bad but Wales 2022 has an awful bang of Ireland 2012 about it.
Some terrible stuff form the Welsh defence there.
Ward in no-mans land for the admittedly good free kick and Davies giving it to Harry Kane right at their own box.
Wales have been appalling but they are a side in rapid decline so not surprising. Bale and Ramsey never in the tournament really.
England really fvcked now.
They have to pick Foden and Rashford now. Queue them losing their knock out game with these two completely out of the game and strolling around with their sulky pusses on them and their lips hanging! Gareth can't drop either of them now
Awful goalkeeping.
Rashford gets a 2nd. Wales well and truly beaten.
Harsh to say he's not arsed playing for Wales. He's simply finished, his legs are gone.
BBC mentioning 66. They believe.
Who'd have thought that essentially not giving a crap at club level for a few years now would come back and bite a fella on the biggest stage?
No sympathy for him whatsoever.
He seems to get a lot of leeway about the age thing. He is 33 so should not really be burnt out. All that fking about at Real playing golf is what's cost him.
Silly hair on for England.
