Did they sing it this time? Cos if they didn't I don't think they'll be going back to Iran afterwards unless they want to immediately be arrested

They did. Although most of the players looked like they had a gun to their head while doing so.

The players did sing, but very half-heartedly. Wouldn't be surprised if they were told to sing properly against the USA.

Enjoyed that.  Not pretty, but it's right on a knife edge.  Proper tournament football.  Look forward to them crediting VAR with getting the offside call right... even though 999 times out of 1,000 that gets given in real time and then we don't need to faff about with the screen at all.

Bale and Ramsey have to do more. Both have been largely average in this World Cup so far 

This is Gareth Bale. It's how he's played for years now. 

Ramsey is capable of better but I've only seen it when Bale was out, and we had pace to run ahead of him.

Not about Ukraine, but the play-off system being garbage due to COVID.

Wales played one-match ties against both Scotland and Ukraine at home, that's just not a fair way to decide who qualifies.

We played with a handicap of having Rob Page as manager. Completely fair.

Wales were at home for both games, but they beat Austria in the Semis. Scotland lost to Ukraine.

Should have just given Ukraine the spot.

 

Yeah, giving the spot to a team who lost against Wales would definitely improve the tournament...

 

The playoff system this time was weird, but that's how it is. There are always "better" team, who don't qualify, and "worse" team who does. It's one of the charms with such a tournament.
