Re: Russia v Wales. Matchday thread
On train from Beziers to Toulouse ready for a long day.
Not sure what I feel at the moment is it excitement, dread even!
All I know is this will be a day/night to remember hopefully for all the right reasons culminating in a Welsh qualification into the knockout stages.

Yes. Russia classed as home team and wear their red / maroon kit.

Can't focus on anything. Media seem convinced Russia are terrible and we will be fine. My gut feeling is not as confident.

Re: Russia v Wales. Matchday thread
Thirty seconds from the last 16 against Ingurland to probably being knocked out of the tournament by Russia. We looked shagged against England in the second-half and Russia have had an extra day to prepare. Hope I'm massively wrong but an energy-sapping and demoralising loss to England will probably take its toll tonight.
On the plus side Russia are not a quick energetic team so we should have more time on the ball in midfield and our full-backs won't be so pinned back. Hoping Ramsey is at his mercurial best. And we need to play Collins to negate their 6' 5" striker, Dzyuba. Ginge is also a threat at corners and we never look like scoring from corners.
C'mon Wales!! :wales:

Re: Russia v Wales. Matchday thread
My nightmare scenario which I am putting here in the hope that it will not now occur is:
We lose to Russia, England fail to beat Slovakia. We end up with 3 points which, due to the results elsewhere, would have seen us qualify having the top 4 3rd placed highest points....however as we would have finished 4th, with 3 points we are out!
Now that can't possibly happen....can it ?

It certainly can. The flipside to that nightmare vision, though, is that we beat Russia and England lose to Slovakia. As the 3rd place team England get a tough draw and go out in the next round and we go on to win the tournament. Happy days.

Re: Russia v Wales. Matchday thread
Theoretically the English ***** can go out on 4 points, if both we and SLOVAKIA win, and other 3rd place teams also get 4 points. (It's happened once before apparently)

Re: Russia v Wales. Matchday thread
I'd prefer Jonnie Williams in there and try to play it through them, not try and out muscle them, which seems to be the way Coleman is going.
NOT GOOD.
Hope I can eat my words later on.
