England v Wales - World Cup

Hopefully both teams will beat Iran and USA in their first two games, leaving a draw between England and Wales in their last group stage game enough to see both teams get through to the knockout stages. Is a "gentleman's agreement" in order here or is that outwith the "spirit of the game" ? I am sure there are others who would do, and have done, the same in that situation.
I realise that there are subsequent consequences of the final group stage positions in respect of which team you play next. Thoughts?
Obviously this question flies out of the window if my initial assumption is wrong.

Would you accept a gentleman's draw v Wales if it meant England finishing second?

Given the advantages the English squad has over everyone else on the group anything other than first will be a poor show.

USA have better players than Wales in fairness.

Yeah but very very few teams had the level of pure luck the Welsh do…

I agree Baz but England should not underestimate Wales who are ranked 19th in the world by FIFA against England's 5th.

They do but Wales have tournament nouse and always seem to get the job done. Can't call it for 2nd spot.

World Cup Wales, hang your heads in shame. You barely got a draw with the Americans and now you lose to a country that is best known for dictators and its attempting to spread world terror!

btw: If Giggs ever manages this team again then you deserve what you get. Did someone forget to tell him that you must play until the final whistle?
