If England come second in their group (would need to lose to Wales and there be a winner in Iran vs USA), they will play Netherlands next.
Don't want that.
If England come top tonight (win required to be sure but could happen if both matches draw tonight), then they get the winner of Ecuador vs Senegal (or Ecuador if it's a draw).
Prefer that, so they better win.
On to Australia's next match.
Well, that'll be the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup so who cares.

Not sure there's anything between Holland and Ecuador as opponents on current form. We give the Dutch credit (same as Germany) more based on the past than the present. After our abysmal performance against the US the other day I think we will easily will tonight. Wales have no choice but to go all out attack as they need to get 4 goals or so and that will leave big holes at the back.
That said, with England performances anything could happen. My prediction would be something like 3-0 or 3-1.

If we beat Senegal, we are likely to play France in the quarters. Well, it'll have been nice to get that far.

Problem is that on our day we can give anyone a game. I hope that the manager will allow them to be attacking now we are at the sudden death stage. We play counter attack against France and we will lose. |

By the way, that's how you do predictions (3-0), none of this "back to normal by May" lark.
