I get that they have to try and feature all the home nations equally but it was really OTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won our Group and didn't concede a goal yet face a team who were runners-up. Wales finished 2nd and got 4 points and also faced a runners-up team. Basically they did worse yet faced weaker opposition than we did, not what I call Sporting merit that. You get luck, you get bad luck, sometimes it's in your favour and sometimes it's not, they were outclassed yesterday. They were beaten easily by Italy B team and Turkey were abysmal. They got found out, simple let me tell u even MORE about fairness. he cries about the format, but the format is the only reason wales are there in the first place. They finished 2nd in qualifying, meaning that in any other euros theyd of faced a qualfiier vs: Czech Portugal Holland Denmark Sweden Austria Turkey Russia Finland They were like petulant children on the pitch yesterday, and Gunter has just carried on after the game. Never liked him when he was at Forest. I remember a game there when he blatantly dived, and then later refused to throw in back to a City player after we’d kicked it out when Forest player went down injured. Both right in front of the City fans. I hold grudges for a long time for things like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Kalas has had to throw himself in front of so many shots and crosses he must feel like he's back playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hasn't changed my *checks notes* opinion that relative country size I think they do pretty well. They appear to do well/better now in 2021 when 24 countries qualify than in, say, 1988 when only 8 qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Anybody think Kalas’s body shape is a little odd? He’s obviously in decent shape but the way he walks and runs just makes everything look awkward… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always say this about Sterling. He came to England to live when he was 5, so unless he is some sort of child genius who knew then he was going to be an international footballer, I think it is completely different. Since then he’s lived in England his whole life, never left, gone to school here, paid all his taxes here. But if you want to think that is the same as deciding when you are 25 I’m English but I’m never going to play for them & then find out your Nan was from Wrexham so you pretend to be Welsh, fair enough.

I never said it was the same. My point was it's embarrassing to go on about where Welsh players were born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine he’s unfit, but just looks like he’s carrying some extra timber around. Must be body shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
