Baba Yaga Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Swiss created lots of good chances in the 2nd from open play and looked a handful at set pieces all game. Have definitely dropped 2 pts here. Embolo gave the Welsh defence problems and they were hanging on at times. Fair play to Kieffer Moore though if you can set him up then that's what he does. It's going to be interesting next game because they are going to probably be up against it again versus Turkey, if you can't be good be lucky as the saying goes.

AberRed Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Very good result for Wales in the circumstances imo. Switzerland were by far the better team for 70+ minutes of that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some inexplicable reason England also always has some non English person involved, in the past Lawrenson, Townsend, Giggs (where is he at present?) or Roy Keane. The panel for Wales & those sent to this tournament (I bet Jason Mohammed is there) has probably halved unemployment over the bridge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it actually been in 2020 I guess we may have had Maenpaa in the Finnish squad, but obviously no longer.

Yes they looked a good team unit in terms of shape and closing players down, but cmon, that Turkey team was shocking energy wise and were all over the place second half. Let's hold judgement until they come up against a much better side. Could've easily finished 5-0 and the Italians didn't need to get out of second gear. The Turks were organised, but the reason they only got one shot off was that they couldn't get the ball past the Italian midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maenpaa actually featured in a few games for them prior to tournament, after helping his current side reach Serie A. Like the Finns, even though their 3rd keeper is with the blue few.

As tenuous a link as they come, but I'm sure that's enough for JP to shoehorn in something about the City. Denmark on top, my 0-0 prediction is looking overly cautious.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Apparently Denmark's Thomas Delaney is Red-Green Colourblind, which apart from presenting difficulty with red and green can also mean problems in differentiating shades of yellow. Just amused by the fact Denmark play in red, their keeper is in green and both the ref and the Finnish keeper are in shades of yellow. Wonder what he sees.

As someone who's colourblind I can say that this game is actually fine. For me these shades of red, green and yellow are distinct enough. The only slight issue is Finland's goalie is blending into the grass a little, but it's not too bad. Personally I find a game like Wales v Ireland tougher. The other things are things like our purple shirts - I don't think I see those as nearly as violently purple, not the lime green as violently green, as those with normal colour sight. If Denmark were wearing our purple kit then I'd have real issues distinguishing their players from Finland. The other thing in sport is that I don't believe the clear lie that there is a "brown" ball on a snooker table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
