This isn’t working. Southgate should have changed the team by now

Gary Neville..,.England defenders having too many passes …. has he seen Rovers?

Decent opposition after the Iran training match and England look very ordinary. We’re on the back foot and second to nearly every ball. US keeper looks good, who does he play for?

Rugby yes, football no

Stockport Fire Brigade. Toughest lot of mean, dirty, fouling, b**** I ever played against

Anything can happen, as you know. It's how they play on the day. Iran were poor against England but very good today. Wales could be the same against England. Never under-estimate England's ability to disappoint

Shame about Wales. There's still hope though, they could beat England and still go through. England fans will think that's unlikely but there's been a few upsets already and England can lose to anybody if they put their mind to it.

Hope you made some money on being right

Australia have been watching Tomasson's Rovers - mucking around with the ball at the back and conceding an unnecessary goal. Is Tomasson ever going to learn that you can't get away with it unless your players are of the highest standard - which Rovers' and Australia's aren't. Rovers have lost so many games this season making exactly the same mistake as Australia tonight

I was at Goodison for Brazil v Bulgaria...... Pele, Garrincha et al. Great memories

Off the top of my head.... Argentina 0 Cameroon 1 1990 USA 1 England 0 1950 North Korea 1 Italy 0 1966 Algeria 2 West Germany 1 1982

Jack Hixon IIRC. He also sent a certain Alan Shearer to Southampton Ralph Coates, Dave Thomas, Ray Hankin and many, many more. All top players. What were Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough doing missing players like that? Bolton turned down Alan Ball for being too small too. Rovers rejected Tony Green and Tommy Hutchison, two top Scots

No one "buys" the league though it's virtually impossible to win the league without money. The barbs thrown at Rovers were mainly lazy journalists who didn't like having to write about what they perceived as a "small" club, and it stuck. It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now and we were never given the credit we deserved.

Well played Wales. Good fightback after a poor first half. It's great to see them playing in the finals after 64 years. Top players like Rush, Hughes and Giggs never made it to the WC but Bale is a worthy successor to the great John Charles

Fair comment. Pushing, pulling and shoving goes on all the time in penalty area. Imagine a semi-final 0-0 with 5 minutes to go and the referee gives a penalty for that.

Iran were expected to give England a difficult game but they were poor today. England exceeded expectations Ramsbottom United are a decent Northern Prem outfit, not a "pub side" Carry on trolling

It was a training game Ramsbottom United would give Iran a game

Sound off. I can’t stand Micah Richards for the next 4 weeks

Ten minutes watching goalkeeper roll around. Get off the pitch

Get off the pitch FFS

Realistic.

16,500 plus at Meadow Lane to watch Notts County this weekend ..... a record for the National League How about that Mr Waggott?

A whole country? One World Cup win and one Euro final. How does that compare to our European neighbours and big rivals - Germany, France, Spain and Italy? We're supposed to be a leading football nation but the reality is we aren't. We're worse than the Netherlands and the best you can say is we are on a par with the likes of Denmark and Greece. You hope (always hope) England do well but you have to say it's highly unlikely

Sterling's done nothing this season to warrant being first choice. England will be favourites to win according to the fans but it always pays to be contrarian. Stick a little bet on England 1 Iran 1

No third world workers died or their human or employments rights abused in the construction of these stadia What David Beckham won't be saying as he walks away with a £10m cheque from the Qataris to promote the tournament
