Fodbarmyarmy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Give them their due....It was a BIG 5 hrs for them yesterday and despite both the rugby and footy teams losing they didn't let it tarnish the celebrations....I for one look forward to all the UK participation....hope the Republic do it as well.....What are the odds on us all being in same group?

The fans do and that will never change any more than we would start getting all huggy with the ladyboys from over the bridge. What you have to say though is, if you watch the reaction from the team and Coleman last night, you could see how much it meant to them and that`s to be admired I reckon.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 English aren't arrogant?!Only if the English think that with the current team that they have any chance of doing anything other than making up the numbers.

sglosbcfc Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The more 'British Isles' teams the better. I hope it is England, Wales, N Ireland and Eire. Is it possible for all four to be in the same group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Depends on the seedings I imagine. If more than one are in a `rank` then they can`t play in the same group. They`ll be announced soon for sure and we`ll have some idea if it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully her father was Selector of the Rugby team, so it gained me favour in many of the pubs. But there were still two I couldn't go in. I also spent many years travelling the south of Wales when I worked as a Quantity Surveyor....the same type of experience in each town and City I visited. Don't mind banter...but it felt like a deep seated hostility many times.Btw....I'm not anti Welsh, my current GF is Welsh and lives in Cardiff....so all good :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible for all four to be in the same group?That won't happen because the pots are decided by these EUFA rankings and Wales being the 2nd lowest ranking will be in pot 4 with Albania,N Ireland and one other i think ?............http://www.footballseeding.com/international-tournaments/euro-2016/http://www.footballseeding.com/national-ranking-uefa/ranking-2015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Is it me or does anyone else feel that Wales' progression to the Euro's has been massively blown out of proportion?OK so they ran Belgium close but other than Bosnia there was no serious contender in that group. Everyone seems to be talking like they massively overachieved, I'd say there should have been serious questions asked if they hadn't qualified. They managed only 11 goals in 10 games - ok so they defended admirably but Bosnia, Israel, Cyprus and Andorra conceded 79 goals between them! Every other team in the group scored more than them with the exception of Andorra. They have a good squad overall and I can't for the life of me work out what all the fuss is about? They absolutely should have been better than those 4 over the course of 10 games which is how it panned out. Reading this back it all sounds very bitter and anti Welsh which is isn't supposed to - I'm glad they're going to be at the Euro's - just that I really can't see that it's that much of an achievement to be be better than 4 poor teams over 10 games - they're the strongest squad by far in that group other than Belgium.
