Wales 0 -Iran 2 FT
Despite this and despite having Welsh heritage I thought a draw would have flattered Wales and Iran taking the lead with a
99th minute long distance effort was thoroughly deserved. Iran made the man advantage count with a A fluid counter
attacking move a couple of minutes later.
With all the mega-injury-times added on, this was the first result-changing goal

from now on, especially next Friday.
FT:
Qatar 1 - Senegal 3
Same old Qatar in the first half, but to give them credit they did create some chances in the second, Mendy had to make a couple of good saves. Senegal did what they failed to do against the Netherlands, which was to put away their chances.
So after $220bn spent on hosting the World Cup Qatar have played two, lost two and if Ecuador and Netherlands draw later today Qatar will be eliminated from their own World Cup.

Netherlands up 1-0 at the half. Ecuador had goal disallowed in the dying minutes for a debatable (but I think ultimately correct) "interfering with play" offside call.So after $220bn spent on hosting the World Cup Qatar have played two, lost two and if Ecuador and Netherlands draw later today Qatar will be eliminated from their own World Cup.Or indeed if Netherlands beat Ecuador.
I'm peeking at this with one eye. ECU is not rolling down tamely, this could still go either way.
FT Netherlands 1 - Ecuador 1
Ecuador had some good chances but star striker Valencia went off injured at the end.

With Argentina not too likely to finish top of Group C, taking top spot in this group could pave a highway to the semifinal. It could very well be Ecuador.
FT:goals scored, points obtained between the teams in question , goal difference in matches scored between the teams in question , goals scored n matches scored between the teams in question, fair play points and the drawing of lots (in that order).
England 0 - USA 0
Despite Iran losing 6-2 to England and Wales losing 2-0 to Iran and USA not yet having won a game all four teams can still go through. If Wales beat England and Iran and USA draw three teams will have four points. Tie breakers will be goal difference,

From a Wales perspective a 1-0 win over England would see them through if Iran and USA draw.

I've been watching the WC since 1974. I'm an American. This is the
first time the US has a team that really looks like it belongs in the tournament. They definitely outplayed England and would have deserved
a win, just as Ecuador would have against the Netherlands. I think
England must be fairly shaken--and I don't think either team would
look forward to playing Ecuador, either.
It will be interesting to see if Wales can rise to the occasion and
the US must also not take Iran lightly. They are bigger and stronger
than the US. Incidentally, a very sophisticated US stats website said
that group B was the group of death, and it's beginning to look as if
they may have been right.
