'Straya were fantastic this morning absolute Aussie grit, heart and bloody mindedness at its finest.

I said years back that Harry Souttar would be a Premier League player one day, I would be amazed if it doesn't happen in the up and coming transfer window.

After last night I am almost hoping to see the USA with Ream and Robinson qualify. To regain our support England need to put in a performance against Wales scoring at least three goals.

I'd like to play the USA in the knockout stages, would be too close to call.
No thanks, let's go out to Brazil that would be more acceptable.

So to anyone who said we beat the worst team in the WC, where does that leave Wales?

They were ignorant jibes launched by the ignorant for no real reason other than "it's England"...
The performance Iran put in was shocking, England were merely average, Iran's performance, with seemingly underlying reasons, was one of the worst in the world cup. But doesn't make them a bad team.

Look at some of Fulham's performances at the end of last season and we were apparently the best team in the league.  Iran are an ok side whereas Wales aren't. Bale, Ramsey and Joe Allen were non existent against Iran, Wales effectively played with 8 players, 7 when the keeper was sent off.

Still see Wales making life difficult for a bang average England team. Sadly, we are bang average due to our team selection and tactics. We should be one of the  genuine favourites to win the tournament.

More interesting to me is Brazil and how much better they might be without Neynar Jr.

Wales were very disappointing v Iran but came so close to a point.

Could be an exciting game v England, I think Wales need to win by three to go through, or a damp squib, if England take an early lead.

Could well be a tense, cagey game, but I think Wales will want to win, urged on by their fans, just because it's England.
England will want to keep it tight.

Assuming they end up second in their group, they have a pretty easy path through the round of 16 and quarter final all the way to the semi-final ( as do Spain winners of the group). In contrast, England potentially meet France in the quarter finals which case it's likely game over.

there is one things that's really bugging me, when teams score the whole bench charge onto the pitch, just seen Cameroon score, and all the subs ran the full width of the pitch to the scorer.

Just happened again with Serbia.

I know it shouldn't bother me but it just does.

Korea Ghana
Good game
The Koreans very unlucky
We should sign one or two

Southgate is a DRIP of the highest level and this England team will go know where under him I'm sorry to say,
He's like Scott Parker on steroids

It's a shame cos we have a decent squad

Interesting competition so far.  Possible to see Germany and Belgium not make it through group stage.

It obviously bothers the officials because they are adding on time for this new behaviour.

An interesting and unusual night's football tonight.
The two final Group B matches with three of the four teams capable of obtaining the two places for the knockout stage.
Both matches being screened by the BBC and two Fulham players probably on show in each match.

Looks as if England and the States will make progress but Welsh fans may think otherwise.

USA will have to score a few goals if they want to progress.  With only 1 scored so far, that's proving to be a problem for them.

Didn't see Wales-Iran, but v USA James and Wilson were basically invisible.  Hope they put on a better show, regardless of result, tonight.  Ream and Robinson have been solid in their two shows so far.  Just hope all the FFC boys, including Mitrovic and Palhinha, come home soon, and most importantly, fit.

Agree that it has been hard to noticed James, just as it has in Fulham matches.
Wilson at times has been in the thick of things and looks as if he could well pick up a nasty knock. Will be pleased to see him walk off the pitch at the end of tonight's game fully fit and ready for our Palace game.

Good luck today lads! Although I don't think you're under any real risk of going home.

England against a borderline Championship team - what could possibly go wrong..............

FFS! 9 mins in and Shaw has passed the ball backwards almost every time he's had possession.

Well the only ones to really celebrate just now are the Americans, their fans must be well pleased with the results and their team's performances.
