England need to not lose by four or more to qualify. The US needs to win. Iran needs to win/tie. Wales needs a big win.

Us just needs a win. Goals don't matter. Englands needs to not lose by 4.

Not that I think we will win the WC, but no team has won all their games since 2002. Spain 2010 even lost their first game and it’s considered one of the all time great teams. It happens in World Cups.

What I will say is I think Southgate set up not to lose rather than to win that game. The way the players played with little urgency and their seeming ease with the result suggests to me, and lots of commentators that I watch, that this was part of the plan. If Kane scores that header at the end, then everyone would be saying boring but good cup football. We basically played not to concede and nick it on a set piece. We aren’t so strong against pressing teams like the USA. I think the Wales match will be more like Iran.

Morocco is really good, they always underperform compared to the talent they have... Boufal, El neyri, ziyech should beat Belgian boomers most of the time.

The golden generation is done 👍

Belgium won't make the quarters and I'd bet on Croatia beating them while Morocco get a dull draw against Canada to qualify for the last sixteen.

I don’t know how anyone else hasn’t noticed but the obvious trend is that countries with hotter climates seem to be doing well. Because y’know, for $ome rea$on they decided to hold the World Cup in a hot and dry desert.
