That one also should not have been ruled a foul so 🤷 it makes up for it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the second goal matters too much for the US because Iran is still at minus 2 and in any case, Iran and the US can’t be level on points going into their final match.

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It's an entertaining group when you have these extra story lines enhancing the rivarlries. Not saying Wales - Iran that much, not explicitly, but enough. Good lesson is to stay in games late and not panic, as you never know how things may play out. The feeling in our match with 90 seconds left in stoppage time was the same, that we could still draw it. Mind you, had to post, the fact that the Iranian players are clearly and boldy siding with the people of Iran is certainly another fact and one to be admired: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/24/iranian-footballer-voria-ghafouri-arrested-ahead-of-wales-match-world-cup WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Wales essentially shot themselves in the foot in the last few minutes but now USA vs England is pretty much a must win game for the Americans. But even with a draw against England, USA would pretty much have to beat Iran in their last game and Wales would either have to lose or draw with England for them to get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfreak Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Mario Escobar, the ref of Wales-Iran, was in charge of Iceteca and the Nations League debacle in Honduras. Seems to be a magnet for chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
