Belgium needs a big name instead of Wilmots. He lost the game at half time.


oh stop such nonsense. Lukaku is a waster , he clearly should have put Belgium 2-1 up and failed miserably . How on earth you can say that the manager lost the game is incredible.


Oh, sorry. I forgot Coleman was a tactical genius.

Before Lukaku should had put them 2-1. Ramsey missed one hell of a chance. Mark my words, Belgium will never reach their potential with Wilmots. Clueless as a manager.


Why didn't you tell us all this before the match , save us 90 minutes ?

Three Englishmen scoring Wales's three goals. Britain uniting against Europe once more.

No it's the unity and tightness of the Welsh team. They are all true dragonhearts. Two of them have even been capped at youth levels for England and they all only qualify through grandparents. As bad as the Poles and Germans swapping countries when it suits.

Good shout.


it's heartbreaking isn't it.

On another note, Denayer is supremely depressing as well...not quite at the same level, obvs...but what a fantastically shit player. Responsible, in major ways, for all 3 goals.

Sell him to Russia please asap for Vodka and stabvests.

cheers

its funny how wales had many english supports routing for them, including the pub I was in. But if it were on the other foot and it was England, the welsh would be all foaming at the mouth for us to lose.

Absolutely buzzing. Got the piss taken out of me in the pub when we lost to England but that seems a distant memory. An amazing achievement.

A lot of Enlgand fans seem very upset with the Welsh players celebrating their loss? If you saw a group of city players celebrating a Man U loss would you say the same? I doubt it. It's banter and it's rivalry, it's football and without it, it wouldn't be what it is.

For the record I wanted all the home nations to do well. Loved watching the ROI against Italy, I proper welled up and celebrated that win. Was screaming at the TV when England were playing the other day, mostly at Harry Kane. So not everyone is against England, they just don't help themselves with horrific performances.

How do you cunts not get it?

England was the head of the empire. The bully. The daddy. Whatever way you want to phrase it.

Of course the countries who were/are under your leadership will love getting one over on you.

I wouldn't take it personally.

It happens across the spectrum. If the bully gets knocked over everyone laughs. If the bully laughs at a smaller kid's misfortune then he's an even bigger cunt.

I had a feeling one of the 'home nations' would turn out to be a surprise package. I hoped it would be ROI but in all honesty we don't have that extra bit of quality required. I was quite proud of the effort they showed. Wales have a goal threat in them that we don't. I'm really chuffed for them that the way the groups went, they created an excellent chance for themselves to get to the final. I'll be rooting for them against Portugal.

I was glad all four of us got out of the groups and I would have backed England to be the ones in Wales position. I thought with a favourable draw they could have surprised a few.
Without getting into rehashed debates of the whys and why nots of International football. It is what it is and it is brilliant for smaller nations when they surpass expectations.

Well done Cymru. Just two more hurdles to go.

Interesting to see Low switch up his formation and go with wingbacks.
Can actually see Italy winning this one but I think theyll have to score

I quite like the German team, but the Italians have been surprisingly good this tournament - I'll have to stay neutral I guess.

I'm just hoping for a good game. Although I think Germany has a bigger chance of beating Portugal in a final, so I might want them to win slightly more.

Do you really think English schools teach the same version of English history as the former colonies?
Do you think schools in the USA teach the same version of history as Vietnam or Korea?

If you do, look at Julie Walters on Who Do You think you are.
She, same as the average English person, had no idea of what went on in the colonies.
Just like your average American will be mystified by the reactions from several countries
In the years to come. As far as the guy in the USA is concerned they are helping everybody.

That's why your average English person does not get it.
