Wales are a bottom half championship team. England a top 4 premier league team.

I Don’t think any of their team would even make our squad let alone get a game.
Bale would of but not anymore.

Given those games you mentioned as the deciding criteria then if we somehow weren't better than Wales then we A) Sold our actual souls to the devil in exchange for the Iran result and are also B) fu(ked when it comes to having any chance in this world Cup from here on in.
Unless of course you refer to "we" as the Mighty Boro rather than England in which case it's debatable.

Wales v England will be a tough game and let's not make any bones about it. It is the FA Cup final for the Welsh, David verse Goliath and they will be well up for it. Wales won't want to go home early or leave without a win. The winners can return to their clubs with bragging rights.
I hope we give them a football lesson.

Might be different this time, but we battered them 3-0 in 2020 and their squad is worse now.

Croatia reached the final with a population of 3.9 million.
Let's see if Wales can Pass Iceland's total of 1 point in the last WC. Iceland has a population of 370k.

After i saw the Wales-Ukraine game in June, i thought they were poor and only got through due to the inability of Ukraine to finish. They have got even worse. No way should England get beat to them

As I said, it is their Cup final and they will be well up for it. It will be either a very tight game or we will spank them. I hope it is the latter.

They gave us a game at Euro 16. We had to rely on a late goal from Sturridge winning us the game.
I think they are a poorer team now though. Bale and Ramsey are both massively on the decline and would struggle to get into our squad, let alone compete to get into our first 11.
Hopefully we win tonight and we can give the likes of White, Phillips, Henderson, Foden, Grealish and Rashford a game vs Wales. I'd still feel confident we would beat them but they will treat it as their cup final, so we'll need to be up for it ourselves.

Wales are atrocious.
It will be the same scenario as the Scotland game in the Euros. A truly dreadful side will scrape a 0-0 against us as its their biggest game in years so they will play out of their skins. All irrelevant hopefully though as we will have already qualified
