frenchred Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well after sitting through half an hour of Bales v N. Ireland, no matter what we think of England that,s 2 teams we don,t have to worry about! The gas could give these 2 a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think Wales will be stronger come the time though. No Bale or Ramsey tonight for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Wales are missing a few of their key players, they do look toothless, but with Bale and Ramsey that could easily change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelton’s Love Gravy Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Whilst, with my 122nd birthday imminently now looming, I am, inevitably, nearing the end of my natural life, I very much suspect Wales might just be capable of giving us a severe jolt up the rear of somewhere really quite sensitive if we do not pay them the utmost respect. And I say this with the greatest sincerity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey isn't all that for a start,bale is obviously quality but if we can't beat that shower then we might as well knock international football on the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Personally I think it's a dangerous game for England. It's a cup final for Wales, they will inevitably raise their game and Bale alone is a reason to be concerned. I certainly wouldn't be using an under-strength side in a low key friendly against NI as the barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe jordans teeth Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Will England take players in form and fit for a change? That is the question,or will Roy pick sterling and Rooney,or even worse Wilshere,how refreshing would it be to see a fit and firing squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Given our pathetic efforts in tournaments and especially with a clueless manager no certainties we will beat anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 My prediction: Wales will nick a 1-0 win from a Bale wonder goal or free kick, we will draw with Russia then just about beat Slovenia and go through via best 3rd place. Subsequently we will be knocked out by one of the big boys. I have no doubt we have some talent coming through; Kane, Stones, Barkley, Clyne. But other than Kane are they really good enough to threaten the worlds best? Don't think so. We have a manager who is a yes man and will pick a team by name rather than on merit, he plays defensive football which is our weakness as our defending is woeful. I would love to see England do well and get to the semis but just can't see it until the structure of Management is changed at the FA, we should be playing with no fear and a manager who is not afraid to take risks.

JoeAman08 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 On paper, England should win the group with ease. This is why we play the games however. Wales has less talent bar a couple positions but will play more together as a group than England. Even though England dominated qualifying they were quite lacklustre at times and I question their passion as an entire team. It should be a team that can push for a semi final place but sadly I think they'll scrape by in second in the group and lose quite comfortably(not by score line) in the first knockout round. I haven't seen anything recently to change my opinion on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetjef Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 If Wales can keep bale, Ramsey and Ashley Williams fit going into the tournament then chances are they will give most teams a decent game. Even if it does mean they get everyone behind the ball and rely on bale to do something magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a bit of optimism, you are so evidently a glass half empty kind of guy. Bales are crap, we will beat them with ease, and Russia!

I'm sure there must be plenty of football fans who would love to watch it but simply can't get the time off though. There's absolutely no need for it to be on at 2pm.
