This is my thinking. So presuming that England top the group, a draw has to be the best outcome (technically an england win would be better but still have hopes for them to have a really shit tournament).

I can't see Iran getting anything from their game with England.

I think Iran will surprise a few people, and England are notoriously slow starters

So yesterday VAR somehow determined that an Ecuador player was offside and ruled out their opening goal. Today VAR have not found an issue with Harry Maguire being bearhugged to the floor at a corner. It makes me concerned for decisions incorrectly going against Wales. There needs to be consistency.

The best result for Wales is an England win.

Iran's keeper has been down a while here, nasty clash of heads. Looks like he's coming off

For his own safety he must surely be replaced.

Agreed

Looks like he's staying on, madness. He's in no shape to continue

Are you saying that football games are rigged?
Careful, you don't get shot down with these conspiracy theories.

He has gone down again , what are their medics/officials up too.

Player safety must be paramount and this is outrageous.
