If USA get a point against Wales, I expect us to advance.
Wales is a banana skin for England, and the heat is going to be a real wild card.
If USA and Wales draw, advancement will come down to whatever the tiebreaker is (goal differential?). I expect that they’ll both lose to England and beat Iran.
I believe it’s goal differential, followed by goals scored
Tie-Breakers as follows:
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Head-to-head
- Goal difference in the group games between the teams concerned
- Number of goals scored in the group games between the teams concerned
- Better Fair Play record
- Draw lots
Jack Grealish just broke the law in Qatar. Every goal celebration is going to be a criminal offense.
Built in excuse for the Lions not scoring.

Now the Qataris pull the payments from the “paid” fans. What’s next? Banning footballs?
FIFA watched those Fyre Fest documentaries as a how-to manual.

No shit.
One told the newspaper: “It has been hell. The air con in the cabin barely works and sounds like a [fighter jet] is taking off. Even if you have it on all the time during the day it is still 27C. You can’t have it on at night because it is so noisy.”
The other described the cabins, which contain two single beds, in unflattering terms. “They are rock hard so you might as well sleep on the floor,” he said. “I have never been somewhere so uncomfortable. We have been here for 10 days and it is a nightmare. It might be OK if you want to rough it for a night or two, but any longer would be dreadful.”
Their roster is absolute quality, in terms of talent. Now their coach appears to be a different story.
Oof!

Benzema out for France. Don’t know why, but that’s quite a blow for the frogs.
The Fyre Fest World Cup
Clearly, they need to make the FIFA officials (and their hosts) stay in fan facilities from here on out.

Reports of English fans being jailed for singing to a waitress “Get your face out for the lads.”
A ball has yet to be kicked.
I don’t know. Sounds like the lads got their balls kicked.
