Sadly, doped up cheating barstewards Russia 2, gods country Wales 0
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.
:wales:
Are we playing in our second kit again?
Yes. Russia classed as home team and wear their red / maroon kit.Quote:

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:
My guts is going over and over all ready
Keep Smolnikov quiet and we win. 2-0 wales. :wales:

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.Quote:

I like this option/version. :hehe::thumbup:Quote:

Surprised HRK is dropped.
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.
Playing in Red after negotiating with uefa and the Ruskies
arses twitching like a rabbits nose :hehe:
