ANDROS ON... THE GOLDEN BOOT

Kylian Mbappe: France looked irresistib­le the other night, didn’t they? I think the defending champions will go deep into the tournament again and Mbappe (left) is key to that. He’s already off the mark and I think he’ll win the Golden Boot. Neymar: He is integral to everything that Brazil do. He’s in outstandin­g form coming into the tournament – although he drew a blank against Serbia last night. Neymar (left) also has the young legs of Vinicius Jnr and Rodrygo close to him. We could see the best of him in this competitio­n.

Harry Kane: We know he can win World Cup Golden Boots. He did it four years ago. I wouldn’t back against Harry (left) doing it again. I’d probably have been more confident had he got off the mark against Iran and I fear the others might edge him out.

ANDROS ON... WALES CHANCES

YOU saw as soon as Kieffer Moore came on against the Americans just how much of an impact he was able to make up front.

Moore (left) was sensationa­l, leading the line, laying off balls and giving their back line a hard time.

He surely has to start against Iran. I don’t think Rob Page will drop him for this game. He’ll be perfect to hold up the ball and allow players to run off him.

But he will also give them nightmares with his aerial power and his ability to pick up fantastic positions in the box. That point for Wales against the USA summed up their courage and their character to come back from a goal behind.

It will be a different game against the Iranians who will be demoralise­d after being hammered by England.

Hopefully their confidence will be fragile enough for Wales to take advantage and fill their boots.
