I never witnessed the game but I am told that Wales had no punch in attack at all and the wide players never got behind the Iranian defence with Brennan Johnson particularly disappointing.

I was also informed that Amapdu performed well and that he would be a useful signing for us given that he can play in central defence and in midfield.

You'll watch tonight - just tune in a couple of minutes past scheduled kick off time and turn off the sound. Listen to Churchill's speeches on the wireless during the game, or Radio 4.

Someone mentioned to me that there was footage of Welsh supporters 'Virtue signalling' with those darned rainbow hats.

Returning to the football, it is highly improbable that Wales will qualify for the knockout stages."No hope and Bob Hope" springs to mind.

I didn't notice. [Link]

I feel a bit sorry for Hennessey. Daft thing to do, but he did quite well up until then. Wales lost because they're not really good enough and have some very average players, but it does show how remarkable it is that they qualified in the first place. It does set up a very tasty game between Iran and the USA. England should really win tonight, although I still have no faith in Stones and Maguire.

A bit like what Iran did to Wales?

I feel sorry for England, as Hennessey won't now be in goal against us...
