They know that this slow ponderous cack doesn't suit them, just play quick one touch passes through the lines which is their strength as that last 2mins showed.
So Wales need to beat England and USA to draw with Iran?? By my reckoning Wales would then scrape through over Iran on goal difference with top spot going to England unless Wales won by 6 goals.
I'm tired, and it's been a long week, so excuse me if the maths is dodgy
England qualify with anything better than a 3-0 loss to Wales?
3-0 also sees them through. 4-0 they're out unless the other match is a draw, in which case they need to lose 7-0 to go out unless it's a 3-3 (or more) draw in which case 6-0.
It's more the "that's not the way the winner is going to deal with a Medium quality team in the group stages" aspect for me...
In the early stages of recent World Cups in other sports England beat Samoa 60-6 in the Rugby League World Cup but lost to Ireland in the Twenty20 cricket World Cup. All that matters is the final destination.
I'm happy to live in the fantasy that the US are a bad match up for England. They are a young fit team, press hard and are pretty niggly to play against. Will be the exception rather than the rule in international football.
My fear is that Wales, who have been the footballing equivalent of the vegetable aisle so far, will be like other UK teams and be reborn when they play England.

At least they can go off and drown their sorrows.
Oh.
England fans are off their heads.
That was shite but still means barring a catastrophe they’ve qualified for the second round.
