It did feel like Iran would break through from 80 minutes on. The first goal was great; the second goal was just because Wales had given up, there were four attacking players against two defenders.
Wales are almost certainly out of the tournament now. Even if they beat England (which is a small chance), they'd have 4 points, and most teams with 4 points get eliminated.
This result means it's all on the line in Iran-versus-Great-Satan on the 29th.
Yep, incredible stuff.

Iran was just so damn quick on the counterattack, really felt like they were purposely drawing Wales into attack so they could get some openings.
I was either way on this though, because Wales pulling a fairytale win over England would be just as satisfying as Iran over the US.
I don't want to jinx it, but the funniest possible outcome is the US getting wrecked by Iran.
