IT was heartbreak at the death for Wales as Iran scored two late goals to give Rob Page's side an almighty mountain to climb if they want to get out of the group.

Across Wrexham, fans gathered in their masses to support the nation at the various fan zones, but were ultimately left dissapointed as they witnessed the country's World Cup hopes fade a little further into the distance. 

Following the full time whistle, Leader readers took to social media when we asked if Wales could seemingly do the impossible and beat England on Tuesday evening which will ultimately be an 'all or nothing' tie. 

Jennifer Jones said: "On that performance, no chance."

Jackie Rowley added: "No way."

Joyce Gregory remained upbeat and said: "We go there with the wind in our favour and all of us praying for a miracle we may just do it... come on Wales!"

Grant Main shared: "As a Scot living in Coedpoeth, I feel the pain but got to think positive."

Az Moulton posted: "More chance of sewing sand."

Whilst Steve Ankers argued: "Only the deluded think we have a chance. Going to be a heavy defeat for us."
