I think USA & Wales will be more likely to draw or even win Vs England. Fairly sure it's predicted we kind of have to meet up with a big name nation if we get to whatever Q-Final. Not a chance. Much like what @Dr. Gonzo said for Iran, America and Iran are beatable for us. It'll be England top, though I think the group is wide open for second spot.

They are by far the best team on paper, with all due respect to the other sides. I would personally like to see the Welsh finish 2nd in the group. But having seen the Welsh being played off the park in Cardiff by Ukraine a few months ago, I have a feeling that it might be the US who finish 2nd. But with Bale and Ramsey in their team, the Welsh have two quality players who could help to inspire them at the World Cup. So, I hope the Welsh do well.

We got battered in that game, though our performances against the likes of Belgium and Netherlands (despite us playing an extra game in our play off final) in the Nations League suggests that we can compete (the two Netherlands games we lost due to injury time goals from them). I think England will top the group, but couldn't call 2nd really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 20, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 20, 2022 Rumoured XI is Pickford, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Rice, Bellingham, Mount, Saka, Sterling, Kane in 4-3-3. It's not a million miles off what I'd have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother was out there for planning and said that they got the airflow working a week before the games so atleast the players and fans don't have any kind of discomfort. Of course that's not to negate some of the stuff that's come out of Qatar regarding fans and the stuff they have gone through there but atleast there's clean air and a better climate in the stadiums.

N U F C Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Don’t mind our line-up at all if that’s what it’s going to be. Managed to get a few quid on Saka to score at anytime at 4/1 before the rumour of him starting became rife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Not entirely sure I see the benefit in making Mason Mount the extra man in midfield but we aren’t exactly blessed with depth at centre mid, hopefully Maddison can get fit soon. Otherwise I can’t argue too much with that team. A good mix of regulars and in form players. Would rather not see Maguire start but here we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, there's enough in that team that shouldn't have any worries against Iran. I'd have started Foden over Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Expected lineup but can't really complain. Was hoping for Trippier at LB so White could get the RB spot where he's been brilliant so far this season but I doubt it's going to be a big issue. Azmoun not fit enough to start so that's one of their big weapons unavailable. 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
