 Wales will get chances and I’ll still back them to come back, but they must keep in at 1-0.

 

How will they manage that if they can't complete a pass beyond the half way line?

He doesn’t give you commentary, he tells you the narrative he wants the game to fit in and to hell with what actually happens.
 

“This is the toughest group at the World Cup. Every team is ranked in the top 20. Every team is competitive.”

 

One of the teams beat the other 6-2 literally four hours ago, Clive you fucking prick.

 

if this is a hyper competitive group I'd say the group stages aren't worth watching.

Musah done Bale good there 

 

I thought on the replay thay Bale's foot catches the back of his leg before winning the ball, only saw it once.

[footle]

Will wales get beaten by Iran?

It will come.

 

I’d get James off as he isn’t getting to do his runs that usually go nowhere so he serves no purpose.

 

If Bales wasn’t Bale then he should go off, but they are going to have to use up all his energy bar now and hope they can rest him for Friday?

The rankings are very misleading and for stupid reasons people covering the games in this group keep mentioning them.

 

England got battered off a team ranked well below anyone in the group. Italy and Colombia are 6th and 17th and aren't even there. Using it to assess how competitive a match is before it is played is daft.

Yes, but narrative.

Absolute camel shit so far

That's a tough break. £14 is a life-changing amount of money. 

And it would have been tax free. 

[neoELITE]

Wales have been diabolical. They can't seem to beat the press and they're not winning any second balls. USA are almost being allowed to run through their midfield. Bale and Ramsay have done nothing. 

[Bacon Horsemeat]

I feel so old after being told the goalscorer is THE Weah's son

[Azrael]

Should get Kieffer Moore on right away 

[feltmonkey]

The new generation of Wales forwards need to step out from the shadow of Bale and Ramsey. Those two are legends, but they can't do it anymore. It's going to be up to James, Williams, Wilson, Brennan Johnson.

[Azrael]

Oh actually Joe Allen is on the bench,  get him on!

Iran's looking at these two and thinking maybe they could finish 2nd...

 

All they need is a tight game and the VAR they've paid Qatar for to keep working.

He's had a bit of a stop-start career so far due to failed loans and injuries but has loads of talent.

 

I'm still annoyed by how Celtic treated him under that shitehawk Neil Lennon (or Coach Neil as Weah called him), should have been a very good player for us.

[Ork1927]

Hopefully Wales were a bit overawed by the occasion and fearful of losing and now they can come out and go for it as they’ve got nothing to lose.

 

Need Moore and Johnson on quickly.

 

It looks very clear that a loss today will be fatal.  The USA will beat Iran and even an England resting some players (assuming they beat the USA) will be too much for the Welsh defence.

Yeah, but what's that got to do with the Narrative.

Bbc iPlayer uhd/hlg is magnificent . Obvs not for this match though 

The UHD stream didn’t seem to have the delay that standard iplayer had either.

[Ork1927]

Take the ex-Jack off and bring the ex-Cardiff boy on and it looks better already 😉

He's injured. He would have started this match if he hadn't been, but it's too early after a hamstring problem. I guess he's close enough to fitness to be ready in an emergency.

How did you get to the Ultra HD stream on BBC iPlayer?  I remember there was one for Euro 2020 but (admittedly I didn't exactly go looking for it) I didn't see one when I launched it on the web.

[Azrael]

Does Neco usually play in this position for Wales/Forest? Only ever really seen him at right back

It just comes up as one of the choices when you go to the game in the app.

I need a Wales corner, goal and card to win £29 off a £1 bet

[feltmonkey]

Where was this in the first half, Wales?

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Getting better. Like they've woken up.

Well the corner should have already happened. That throw-in decision was bizarre.

[neoELITE]

Wales have vastly improved just by pressing higher.
