USMNT’s World Cup Group is Set: What can we expect from Wales? | EP 230 | SOTU PODCAST

What do you think we can expect from Wales?

Every American pundit I have seen put Wales down to being a cake walk. We stand our own against the best in the world and perform better when underdogs. Don't count the most recent nations league games, everyone was hungover. Fun fact, Wales have made it out of the group in every major tournament they have been in

“Can you image if Wales beats the USA 2-0”
Revisiting in 3 months

I'll be interested to hear Lalas' thoughts on Canada after he's done more fact-based research on the issue. It's intellectually dishonest to think that this isn't an historic, and necessary moment in Canadian soccer history. Proud of our men and Olympic gold medal winning women.

Keep making Wales feel like an underdog give em more of a chip on their shoulders... I'm sure that won't do anything lol... I'll take Wales as my Dark Horse pick.

I think England and the US go thru but Iran and Wales will show well.

If we use the time for six month training camp in cali heat and Florida humidity i think we will go far...a lot of euro teams will be staggered by how uncomfortable qatar is even in nov...older players like bale and kane will suffer...if we prepare well for the conditions and focus on running all others into the ground stamina-wise....many european teams won't have easy access to replicate qatar weather like we do...prepare well and we will stand a good chance

It’s actually a fascinating group. Our wartime nemesis, our old rulers, and… well, Wales.

It's sad to say but I think that this World Cup the World Football Community will be shocked at the quality of play and players from the USMNT while at the same time, some from the US Soccer Community will still be disappointed & have nothing but complaints

All depends if Mr. Bale can put on the cape & lead his National team to at least 2 victories

I think players compensation should go to youth development. …As long as those in charge of said money aren’t shady.

Here's my prediction and what I want. USA & Wales to advance from the group stage. Iran finishes 3rd & England last. Remember, last year, England & their fans?

I don't know much about soccer, I'm 42 but didn't start watching until I was 25. But I know when I 1st starting watching the USMNT, it didn't matter who we played possession was 70-30 them, lost a few to nothing, had no shots on goal, never possessed the ball 20 yards from the opponents box! No individual great plays accept by goalkeeper but shots were plentiful & coming from every where!

the comments of Neymar, Otamendi, etc is just playful banter, Neymar has friends/teammates inside Argentina NT that play with him in PSG like Messi, Di Maria, Paredes, so it wasnt something agressive or insults, its just the old rivalry between Brasil and Argentina, that its not only in football

If I were a betting man I would bet
1. England
2. USA
3. Wales
4. Iran.
England clearly has the most talent and the odds show that. Whether they have the chemistry or not, they will probably win the group on quality alone. US has the 2nd most talented squad with lots of young players(Pulisic, Mckennie, Reyna,). Wales have a decent squad and a game changer in Gareth Bale but overall they don't have much quality. Iran have the lowest odds to make out of the group and I think it's accurate. Every game will be tough though and I don't think there will be any lobsided games.

England and Wales advance.

The English media are not even talking about world cup games yet.

The US came third in their qualifying group in a much weaker confederation.

Hi. Love your content. Would you be interested in advertising partnership?

Hey Lalas. Your banjos are showing.

Wales are going to smash USA Farmers FC! VIVA GARETH BALE

Alexi is mindless. USA aren’t even on the same shelf as Wales. You think you’re lucky to face Wales first and Ukraine was the better team? There’s a reason why 1 team went through and the other didn’t

relax.. your intonation is distracting
