Group B: England, Iran, United States, Wales (England and USA qualify)

Seems to be the fashion now, when it suits, to have "journalists" bringing up politics questions like this. As I say, it's OK when it suits, but not otherwise. Iranian players were qujzzed of support, or otherwise, for the regime or protesters. Hell actually even using the term "regime" has connotations. My guess is the Iranians are a tad fed up of the US backed demonisation of their country which, more than likely, is a precursor to flattening the place. Americans calling Eye-ran and Eye-raq is disrespectful in a way? Is it too much trouble to pronounce it properly? Tyler Adams appeared not to think so and was very polite, reasoned and civil in his replies. Smashing response. I'm not an apologist for Foriegn authoritarian Gvt's but it's no coincidence last night's BBC news showed "protests" in Iran, China and Russia but not Belgium, never in France and hardly here on our own soil other than, again to demonise, climate crisis protesters. Morning ???? -

Tbf when the previous 70mins were so turgid he would look better. For me he looks good but does nothing but show pony. Vastly overrated -

As I've said. England's performance v the USA was peak England. Seen it constantly in group games. The rarity was the 6 goals v Iran. Perhaps that overly raised expectations. The way we play is limited and we don't use the strengths we have imho. We never build a team specifically around flair. Brooking, Hoddle, Currie (showing my age ?) One thing I noted during the commentary was the suggestion Southgate likes his back for "because they all get on" Nice ? Oh and Grealish really is wank -
That CGI selfie shit is, well, shit.

Regardless of where these particular girls end up they'll remember these years for ever. Obvs I didn't go but I've been stirred enough to look into the pyramid system to see where and how they progress.

Ps good for the girls today and the brilliant turnout.

Said this for ages. Women keepers are, generally rank, occasionally beyond rank. The only decent one I've ever seen was Hope Solo and I've never seen her play ? Seriously tho, I'm not sure why the people that run woman's football in the UK haven't done what the Ploympic rowing/cycling teams have done, for over a decade, and targeted young girls with attributes that fit the sport/position and train them up.
