They're in with Ireland, Serbia, Austria, Georgia and Moldova. I reckon they'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I just hope if Lee doesn't make the grade we have Giggsy lined up to take over. Comes across as a natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was still an excellent Belgium side. For me, Wales have been one of the best teams in the tournament, better than Portugal in fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be p1ssed off if I was Wes and this Church chappie keeps getting picked instead of him. I would imagine they would have got a lot more support on this forum if he had been picked.

Cunnyfunt Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Jonny Williams passing to Simon Church with Sam Vokes waiting in the box, in a European Championship semi final. Just let that sink in for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bad feeling towards them, just no longer give a monkeys. Exactly that, my grandfather (who I never met emigrated to Bristol from Wales in the early 1900's), my Mrs is welsh and I have a cousin who lives in Wales now (welsh mother) and is a dragon through and through, I still couldn't bring myself to support them last night after the Welsh Players celebrated England's loss against Iceland - it was like they had won the world cup and mirrored Leicester City's players celebration!

Sad really But it wasn't just Wales though. The whole world wanted England to lose because Iceland winning was just amazing really. I remember celebrating Watson's FA cup final goal vs Man City because it was just amazing for football. If the team that happens to lose is a rival (and a patronising rival at that as seen by the Press' response) then I'd celebrate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hopefully, the days are gone where we would have seen a headline in the Post saying CITY TO SIGN EURO 2016 STAR: SIMON CHURCH IN MULTI MILLION PENCE MOVE TO ASHTON GATE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, given Wales' past achievements at international tournaments this is way beyond anything that anyone expected of them so why shouldn't they celebrate? Iceland had a massive celebration for losing in a quarter final! Good luck to them and their fans having a good time - I expect it will be a tremendous atmosphere.

I'm English (although I have a Welsh Grandmother) and I didn't want Wales to win because I'd have 1/4 of my family gloating like mad, however if I was Welsh I'd probably be stood on the bridge with pants around my ankles, pissing on the english side with a sign that said **** off England! Okay maybe not. I've had to be really humble now and try and talk about Rugby at family get togethers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wales did it well I Think. They missed Ramsey vs Portugal. To few starplayers to win the tournament. Like Iceland they were underdogs and most people liked what they done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There never has been in the Euros, only World Cups. Many teams have said they don't like the 3rd place play off game, as it is an anticlimax after losing a semi final. 3rd place or 4th place still sounds better than semi finalist, though.

Maybe in a couple of years, who knows? Interesting to hear the same old story about him though - rejected by lots of clubs for being too small until someone decided to take a punt on him. You`d think some of them would have learnt by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
