Peter Jones on the radio was better than either.

Peter Jones and Bryon Butler perfection

Bah - 23

19 and I'd have struggled with the others even with another ten minutes

What's the alternative like, I've not seen Ferreira play. Where's Pepi?

Ferreira is more of a false 9 type.

Pepi moved to Augsburg and promptly forgot how to kick a ball. He’s on loan at Groningen IIRC but not pulling up any trees.

He's scored 6 goals in 9 games lol

Grew up in the late 80’s early 90’s and was spoilt by the quality of commentary across all sports.
Cricket: Richie Benaud, Jack Bannister, and Johnners.
Rugby: Bill McLaren
Football: Davies and Moore
Snooker: can’t remember the old guy but was amazing basically taught me how to play the game and the rules.

Ted Lowe.

Ted Lowe.

Cheers Tony

Impressed with the so far but I’ll be amazed if they maintain this tempo.
Wales just need to keep the ball for at least 10 passes very harem scarem stuff

After Jozy destroyed the Eredivisie with AZ I think we take that record with a large grain of salt.

 

[Jinky]

Two poor teams here. USA seem strong and quick, but perhaps lacking a bit technically. Wales just haven’t got in to it at all.

Despite how poor they both look, it goes without saying that they’ll both be a sterner test than Iran were today.

World cups are like old school reunions

I really wanted him to be class.

I think the US look good, not really got much cutting edge but they have got Josh Sargent up front.

 

[jd1981]

Been coming, FFS Wales have been awful.

 

[Alan]

TIM FUCKING WEAAHHHHHHHH

 

[WsWolf]

Lovely goal that is.

 

[Jinky]

1-0 USA.

Absolutely deserved. Wales have been gash, so far.

 

[Dire Wolf]

That was a nice goal.

 

[WsWolf]

He looks a lot better than his cousin Ali Dia does Tim.

 

[jd1981]

Yep have been very good Wales look like the occasion is to much.

 

[Langers]

Really good goal.

Now we get treated to some information about George Weah too. Hope he scores again so we find out some more.

Don't think it's the occasion so much as the quality. The best players in this side peaked 6 years ago.
