England v Iran - Match Thread

Lincsaddick

ITV panel discussing Harry Kane's ankle injury .. I thought at the time when he needed prolonged treatment on his ankle, and as we were in complete control of the game he should have come off there and then. The panel are saying just that .. Kane needed a scan on his ankle, even though it came back OK, that is still bad news, there is no=one remotely capable of playing his role in the team .. it might be a good time to rest him v the USA, after that game there will be NO respite

Before today these were Iran's last 4 games.


You would probably expect them to come 2nd or 3rd in most groups at this world cup?  

They aren't "making up the numbers".

No you wouldn't? 

Of the games we have seen so far I would expect them to beat Qatar and give Ecuador a game.  Recent draw v Senegal who are drawing with Holland after 70 minutes....

Let's see how they get on against USA and Wales who are 4 and 1 place higher than them in the rankings.

Other than Qatar there isn't a single team in the tournament I'd be confident that Iran beat. Especially after that performance. 

They are definitely making up the numbers. 

Hmmm

Obviously England performed well but I think the occasion got to Iran in first game as well.
