I'll leave you all wringing your hands and highlighting your own failings, no need for me to help but give me a shout if you want

Well done Wales!! I am so pleased for them and hope they will go higher.

 

[vickster]

Does 'clinical' have an opposite?
Cos that's what our finishing is.

Crap

It's the fans i feel sorry for. They'd follow any old shite wearing the three lions and boy are they following some shite! I wonder what bollocks "Woy" will have lined up as an excuse?

I saw the scots there. The saltire from the lights

Would be good if Scotland had made it .

You're right to feel proud. It was England who gifted them their single point.

Great victory for Wales. Especially when you consider that it's only roughly the size of Wales.

Defeat on penalties to Portugal in round 2, put us out of our misery.

Putting England aside, this must be the worst major tournament in my memory, and I'm going back as far as 1986 World Cup here.

Shockingly poor quality, hardly any goals.

Boring!

Lack of goals is frustrating, but seeing genuinely tiny teams (Albania, Iceland, Norn Iron etc) mix it with the big boys is great I think! They play some excellent team football with the big stars not quite gelling.

I expect this will change once the groups and round 2 are over, but I hope at least one of the minnows goes deep.

It was the best tournament in the world till they expanded it. The last 2 Euros were full of top quality games from start to finish. Introduce some no-hopers and you have what we have, teams defending to the death with an eye on their next game, where they might "get something".............. to finish 3rd in a 4 team group.............. and qualify. .

Roy Keane is telling his players to commit fouls, bringing down opponents if they have to to stop them in their tracks. He was always a headcase dirty git as a player!

Bit more nuance to Keane's interview than the BBC are reporting...
