Anyone else get satisfaction from seeing teams like Iran and Qatar lose?

Qatar yes, Iran ONLY not as much because I wanted them to somehow upset England and help the US' chance.

England is going to be a tough match Friday.
 
If you are operating under the assumption England is the favorite to win the group, then you should be cheering for them to take 3 points off of both Iran and Wales.

Probably true.....if US can't beat England gotta hope they go 2-1 and take the second spot.
 
Kinda feel bad for the Iran boys. They didn’t sing their anthem as a silent protest and face going back to Iran soon which is a hot mess right now.

Agreed. This should be the biggest celebration of your career. But now this event must feel unimportant and I'm sure they are terrified about what is happening to their families.

Definitely a few slip ups in englands defense that could be worrisome in the future, but Iran is just in no position to capitalize.
 
Feel sick for those Iranian players. It's great to take a stand on a big stage like this. But I can't imagine what's on their mind right now.
 
Wonder if it would have been called the same if the match were close?
Yeah who knows, but the tackle at the beginning of the match was 10x the penalty that was. I think refs are just so hesitant to give a penalty early but not as hesitant to do it later.

I'm operating under the assumption we will take 9 points from the group. Only thing that will change my mind are results that go another way.
 
Correct you don’t want a mess. We want England to get 6 points off the other 2.
Meh. I was hoping England failed to get out of the group. I'm petty AF.

That said, they looked good but Iran's keeper having to leave what, 20ish minutes in, certainly played a role.
 
Man watching the melt down if they had drawn against Iran would have been EPIC. Now its gonna to be how freaking awesome they are
 
Neherlands-senegal

Nil-nil at half.

Both had good chances with NL a few more. Senegal could steal a few points here.
 
We win all 3 and take 9 points. Wales beats England and Iran to take 2nd. Done.

Watching the meltdown in England if they didn’t make it out of the group at the hands of us and Wales would be priceless.

I would love that, but as much as I hate to say it England looks really really good and have for quite some time now. We need to sit on the counter against them but I bet we won’t.
