Wales v Iran 10am 25/11 Match thread....

£#%&!ing Wales

League One standard at best. Ta-ra lads

Bale and Ramsey need to retire now.

The ITV lads called it. Can't expect a player who no longer plays serious football to suddenly turn it on at this level.

I did the same, didn't think he was playing.

Confused me that. Second best throughout and could easily have lost by 2 or 3 with 11 on the pitch, yet they’re acting as if they were unlucky losers

What are they going on about 'working the referee'?

Wales got bullied on and off the ball. Get over it guys.

Other than pens and freekicks he’s been finished for about 3 years now. His explosiveness has gone and yeah seems like he doesn’t even like football anymore. Real Madrid do that to players

Really enjoying this WC

Delighted for the Iranian lads, nqat.

Fully expect Rashford to score a 40 yard own goal screamer tonight - it's a real tournament for surprises.

‘The blame isn’t on the manager or players’

What?

World Cup souvenir bucket hats will be fondly looked upon in years to come

Why the need to blame anyone?

It was a poor performance, but getting to the World Cup in the first place is over-achieving for Wales. Smallest population of any country to qualify I believe.

A win would have been nice, but can’t see it now. Arsed.

Souness mostly. Joe Cole joined in as well. Was good to see. The last few years of Bale's career have been a joke. He's totally finished and he's only 33.

How on earth did Page get the job? There must have been better available.

Giggs assistant. Walked into the job when Giggs was battering his missus. The easy option because the players liked him no experience whatsoever.

He'd been with U21's since 2017 hadn't he ?

He's also from Pontypandy

He took over as caretaker because it was initially assumed Giggs would come back into the job once his ‘issues’ were sorted.

Giggs only resigned in June, so they had no other option other than making him permanent after he’d qualified for the World Cup.

Not sure who these big more experienced names are that you’re gonna get in for the Wales job anyway tbh.
