We should have been (not an exaggeration) 4-0 up by half time. It was a combination of a very good Welsh side on the night, and a Russian side that were just not up for it. Embarrassing against England - proud against Russia.

really since 1980 Wales have beaten England twice drawn once and lost 7 times. Wales are used to losing to England so why should it be embarrassing we are the bigger nation with more players to choose from so a win should be a source of pride but a defeat is the natural order of things

Oh and Northern Ireland should hold their heads up high losing 1-0 against the Germans is nowt to be ashamed of they have acquitted themselves well

May just squeeze into the last 16 on goal difference as well.

It was not so much the losing - it was the fact that we played like a bad parks football side on the night. It it all very well giving a side respect and parking up the bus so to speak, in doing so you have to be able to pass the ball - we did not/could not. That alone cost us the chance of a draw.

Against the Russians we passed them off of the park and our overall stats were very good - you could not get two more contrasting performances.

They most certainly have the talent - as ever the wrong tactics in front of goal!

Hmm England would be massive favourites........I guess if we took them down to penalties :roll: , more than a few bottoms might begin to squeak :D :wink:

Joking aside; It is a strange one that they were one of the highest scoring teams in group qualifying, and now !!!!!! Why have the goals dried up?

If we get a decent referee we should (based on our Russian performance) be alright. Imo most of the officiating in general has been diabolical. With all of this holding,grabbing and cynical fouling...... I would punish them retrospectively with an automatic one game ban, increased if it were severe/persistent.
