"It's all starting in five minutes. It's interesting you put it that way, as it's noticeable how much more stoppage time is added in every match compared to domestic matches in Britain, even though the VAR system (which somebody described as Very Annoying Rigmarole) wastes lots of time. It is not too unusual to see a coach or manager get a red card, although that is normally when they are on the bench, not at the end of the game!"<br/><br/>"England can afford to lose but not too heavily, in which case Wales would qualify instead. Otherwise, Wales need to win, but hope that the USA and Iran draw. I am sure those two won't give any quarter to each other, as you say!"<br/><br/>I settle down to watch the England-Wales match, while we have now got another TV so Jaclyn can watch the USA-Iran game.
