England need to not lose by four or more to qualify. The US needs to win. Iran needs to win/tie. Wales needs a big win.

Not that I think we will win the WC, but no team has won all their games since 2002. Spain 2010 even lost their first game and it’s considered one of the all time great teams. It happens in World Cups.

What I will say is I think Southgate set up not to lose rather than to win that game. The way the players played with little urgency and their seeming ease with the result suggests to me, and lots of commentators that I watch, that this was part of the plan. If Kane scores that header at the end, then everyone would be saying boring but good cup football. We basically played not to concede and nick it on a set piece. We aren’t so strong against pressing teams like the USA. I think the Wales match will be more like Iran.
