I’m thinking the USA’s physicality and fitness (which Warne so admires) might upset a top 10 side who play that possession based game.

they put their lives at risk not singing the anthem. Brave men 

Well they’re playing only because their government has forced them to. If they don’t their kids or parents  might disappear. Their team mates who are overtly political are on the bench and won’t be used. And we’ve got Ian Wright et al (including on here) wondering why Iran are ‘disappointing’.

Iran are dreadful - how did they qualify?

Agreed..to be thinking of a promise he made to a young fan under the circumstances of scoring your first World Cup goal shows the class of the man.  That young lad will remember what Grealish did for the rest of his life 

Some good goals from England, and 1 from Iran tbf
But my were Iran dreadful. Their hearts didn't look in it. Not singing their anthem, booed and whistled by their own crowd...... 
.....lets see if we can bring in a couple of their players. They'll feel right at home.... ?

Gamed the system and hardly ever beat a top side. Snatched a 1-0 win at home to Uraguay in September. The previous result against a 'top' side was a 1-1 draw woth Korea in 2021 and then again in 2019.
Tbf, at the last World Cup in 2018, they drew 1-1 woth Portugal and narrowly lost to Spain 1-0 (and beat Morocco 1-0)

It so happens that the new England shirts are a mix of Nylon and Velcro, The Iranian player has very hairy arms and couldn't get away from the shirt

If it was about sheep love, it could have been either. 

What they can’t do from central London is spend hours before and after every match learning from all the world’s media pundits what is the scoop on this, that and the other. 
Which is what they do 

His girlfriend, or should I say ex girlfriend has posted a number of images making allegations of domestic violence.
There is also a disturbing voice recording as well demanding sex.
If proven to be true, his career is over before it's even begun.
Man Utd have released a statement.

The cup games aren't on RamsTV.

If it's a cup game it doesn't matter as they're not covered by Rams TV.

Isn’t the TV money something like £72,000 for the second round? If we get half of that, that equates to £36000. 
 
To offset that, 3600 people would have to pop off to Amsterdam etc and pay for RamsTV. You reckon a lot do but I doubt it’s anywhere near 3600.

Do we? Don’t tell the inland revenue.

You’ll get banned peddling that sort of establishment claptrap 

M. le president Sarkosy 

Didn't hear many scoops today. Would also expect the reporters to get these rather than the pundits.
No problem with reporters being there.

That’ll teach Qatar. 
 
Things will change there now. Ru Paul’s XI will soon be playing Claire Balding’s XI with Qatari top brass bringing out the oranges.

They have McBurnie, N’Diaye and Sharp with Khadra and Arblaster as other attacking options. He’s not getting a sniff. 

Few players? Piles can make you get up out of your seat
