BTW Levitt is the one with the passing range of Pirlo, and I'm not joking! :biggrin:

Was Matondo capped today?

Wales and Ryan Giggs are so lucky to have you posting that thread on this forum.
Who would have thought a young kid born in North Wales, and nurtured through the system of one of the biggest clubs in the world, could one day be a future Welsh star.
Lucky you posted that thread or Giggs may have missed out on him.

I did post that thread before Giggs went to watch him play, so give me some credit! Apparently he was a failure at 12 according to Heisenberg, so not everybody can spot a decent player :biggrin:

I have to say that it did occur to me that you do seem to seize every opportunity to big up Ampadu and I was close to posting something earlier.
So much so it crossed my mind that you might even be his agent :hehe:
Sorry W-B but you spitting your pacifier out won't wash this time and the sarcastic comments are justified.

Yes, Giggs was only at Man U for 30 years. How did he miss Dylan before that thread?

Is he a good player or isn't he? When I first brought him up not everybody agreed with me, but I had already seen enough to be sure that he was the real deal, so I made the call and that is what I reported. Time will tell how accurate my assessment was :wink:

Hi, f'in d!ckhead here,
Please stop, you're starting to embarass yourself.

I made my own independent assessment of the player way before Giggs ever spoke about him. The difference between me and you lot is I have a mind of my own and I use it! :biggrin:

Tough team to play in very tough conditions but that finish gives hope that when they get into a rhythm we have a team who can challenge anyone on their day. Let's just hope that there is some juice left in the tank for Tuesday night now.
There was a player obviously offside right in front off Wayne Hennesey both for the initial shot and the one that went in. There was no luck getting away with anything.
It wasn't only the last 20 mins that Wales were better, the last ten minutes of the first half Wales were good.
It was a creditable performance against the World Cup finalists and Wales were unlucky not to get a draw

With Chelsea:
1 game Nov
1 game Dec
2 games Jan
1 game Feb
Why did I know Sarri was going to be mentioned? If it wasn't for him the boy would be a fully match fit 30 game a season first team player now. The only question is in what league.

It's embarrassing when you've got nothing original to say and you just make sarky comments instead. How does it help any discussion? It's this kind of behaviour which ruined this message board a long time ago, and you can't even see it. Joining in with the mob to gang-up on other posters for a laugh makes you a bully, and desperate to be part of the echo chamber. I've never once had a go at you for no reason, so grow some balls and show some maturity. At the end of the day I predicted a player was going to be good, and he is turning out to be very good. That is no reason to act like a tw@t just because I made the right call.

Now that you mention Sarri, he has wasted a year of Ampadu's life. FACT.

I'm surprised Giggs hasn't told him he needs to get out on loan and play. It would be a real blow to actually qualify for this tournament and Ampadu be only fit enough to play for a couple of hours in the group stage.

Exactly, and it is a total shambles.

Re: FT: CROATIA 2 - 1 WALES
It's frustrating that a number of Croatia's best play was self-inflicted but, again, it feels that there is enough there to make us hopeful. Hungary is the more important match and hopefully this experience stands us in good stead for the home Croatia fixture.

A lot of the younger players are still learning on the job. Days like today will benefit us in the future.

Exactly. The likes of Bale, Ramsey and Allen went through days like today, and even harder games too, before growing into international footballers and showing their best against Belgium over a number of occasions. Games like this and our previous fixtures against Denmark are not total losses even if they end up defeats.

Re: FT: CROATIA 2 - 1 WALES
Crazy to think could have a midfield of
Man City - Juventus - Chelsea
And a front 3 of
Liverpool - Madrid - Man Utd
Thought we did ok we were 2 down at this po8nt. We need to make sure levels don't drop for lesser teams

Men v Boys .
The Croatia skills in midfield are superior, Wales did well to hang in their though.

I still believe a bit more nous and canniness would have got us something yesterday.
