[Football] Denmark - Wales, Italy - Austria

Bye Wales

Comedy Welsh defending there.

 

[Frutos]

Entirely self-inflicted - a very poor clearance. Hard to see Wales getting back into this now.

I know the welsh hate me and want me to die, but I still want them to win today.

Let's face it, if Denmark were closer to England the Danes would all hate me and want me to die too. That's the way it is with the English. Everyone hates us but we care so little that we can still be quite fond of them. That's what being a son or daughter of God's Own Country does to you.

And I'm only half joking

If all sorts of historical figures have statues,plaques etc taken down due to links with slavery, why don't we re-name any town or village with Viking roots?

 

[Normal Rob]

Nico Williams is shite. Didn't he make his debut at the Amex? He was awful that day and hasn't improved.

Sorry, just remembered that he plays for Liverpool. He must be brilliant.

Presumably because the Saxons had slaves as well.

I believe slavery in England was "officially" made illegal following the Norman invasion (and replaced with serfdom etc.)

 

[vagabond]

The foul not given is no excuse. Absolutely shocking defending from Wales.

 

[Icy Gull]

Wales have been poor tonight. Too many players that aren't international standard. Bale is past his best - certainly not world class anymore, but was he ever?

Hopefully they can muster a come back, but very very unlikely based on their performance so far tonight.

I hope you’re not one of those who think Kane is World Class if you are suggesting Bale never was

The defending was horrific but on the other hand, the Danes needed three bits of luck to score.

1. Clear foul not given.
2. Ball is millimetres from being out of play.
3. Neco Williams provides a stunning assist.

Believe what you like.
Serfs worked for the landowner and were "allowed " to grow some crops to feed their family.

 

[Pavilionaire]

When Connor Roberts went off injured Wales could have brought on the experienced Chris Gunter but opted for Neco Williams. Poor decision that, I realy don't rate Williams.

Shithouse for the danes 2nd goal

Hence the "officially" in that sentence - there's not much difference in practice.

This conversation shouldn't be within half a mile of this thread, so if you're interested in talking about this feel free to start another one discussing 11th century perspectives on human rights. I might engage further once the football's finished.

 

[Icy Gull]

PLEASE don’t let us be as shit as Wales have been tonight, apart from a good early spell. Absolute shite

 

[Wellesley]

So BRAVE Wales have been in this tournament, just like Scotland, so very, very BRAVE. God, I hate hearing that, they're PLAYING a game of football not fighting in the trenches, nothing bloody brave about it.

We'd better not be, they have been shocking so far. Jet lag doesn't cut it, just a crap performance.

 

[jcdenton08]

Bloody hell, drug test for Cornelius needed?!! That was mental

 

[Frutos]

How has Braithwaite not scored that?

 

[KZNSeagull]

3-0. Denmark very good, Wales shite.

 

[GT49er]

Wales just seem to be kicking anything that moves now. 3-0 game over anyway.
