 Wales 0 Iran 2 : That’s surely it folks 25th Nov 2022 20:23Ever since the qualification for this tournament Wales haven’t looked the full ticket. A nations league campaign was flawed albeit against better opposition. Now seven games after that qualification night in June the distress signals are there. The older players are no longer carrying the spark of old, and the younger players have lost their way over the past five months.  2

Expect Iran to park the bus.
However we are good enough to win
3-1 is my prediction |  |

Parking the bus is not always a good idea as Wales found out in first half v USA. A change in formation and tactics in second half shows what happens when a team tries to win. |  |

Hope this game doesn't turn out to be a banana skin because of the daytime temperatures. |  |

Not sure the temperature will be that much hotter than for the England game yesterday ?
Not like it was in Mexico 1970 | |

We should be beating Iran in any conditions. England annihilated them. | | | |

Ranked one place below us in the FIFA rankings, England played very well, it's going to be a tough match. |  | | |

I think some are failing to see how good a performance that was from England.
Iran is going to be no walkover, we have to improve greatly | |

IMO there's no way we'll emulate Englands score v Iran ,a win for us yes anthilate no , with Bale & Ramsey out of sorts and James pretty much a non entity yesterday then a bit of magic by Moore should see us through on Friday .If it goes down to goal difference how many will be cheering England on when they play the US . | |

England played the second half after the sun had gone down, Wales will be playing 1hr after midday. | |

The players are not sitting in the stand, it's a winter game over here our players are not used to playing 90 minutes in 85 degrees. | |

Saudis kicked off against Argentina the same time of day Wales will be kicking off against Iran.
Saudi Arabia went on to beat Argentina. | |

I was very fearful of our chances just a few weeks ago but some of our players did alright in their domestic leagues and cups just before the tournament.
I thought a few weeks ago Iran v Wales had 1-0 to Iran written all over it, I'm more hopeful now after Iran got hammered by England and I would expect their first choice goalie to miss the game (I don't know and haven't read anything or looked up anything about his situation) after his head injury, the replacement goalie let in 6. | |

It’s because they keep beating teams like Lebanon and Syria while we are losing to the likes of Holland and Belgium, though they did beat Uruguay in a friendly in fairness.
If we can’t beat Iran reasonably comfortably, we have no business even thinking about the knockout stage. | | | |

Perhaps you should watch some games, and see how the air conditioning is pumped out around the ground across the pitch.
All the pundits have said how effective it is. | |

It doesn't rise above 24 degrees, no different to a Summer World Cup | |

Reading some of the contents of this thread I think this will turn into accusations of a conspiracy against the Welsh team . Maybe it should be called "timings and temperatures" | |

Thats 75 Fahrenheit, our players would not be used to playing a full match in those temperatures, when I checked the other day it was 27 degrees (feels like 28 it said - no idea what that means), 27 is over 80 Fahrenheit. | |

So how have players managed at previous World Cups in hot Countries, it is what it is.
These are better condition than previous Summer World Cups | |

Repeat after me Wales are victims, such an inferior attitude from our resident nationalists. Grasp any excuse even before the game. |  | | |

Also notice Switzerland and Serbia both have 10.00 kick off's coming up.
Hardly two of the warmest countries in Europe ?
Perhaps Trampie also thinks they have been unfairly selected to play in such heat ? | |
