    I'm starting to think that James is far, far better than I realized

    Couldn't believe it when they said he was 25 either, been around the wales squad for donkeys years, he looks like he could be hitting a purple patch after finally being injury free and playing regular football, who knows how much more he could develop?

    I've come to the match despite it being £20 for a ticket, which is a bit pricy for a friendly against Belarus. There's a decent atmosphere here in the Ninian though.

    Wales are playing pretty well, I've been impressed by Morrell, especially given that I'd never heard of him prior to last Friday. Joniesta is doing ok but contrary to the perceived wisdom, he gives the ball away a lot. Attempting to dribble past 2 or 3 players each time he gets possession will result in losing the ball regularly. He needs a new song.

    Slovakia beating Hungary at HT is another good score for us

    I think a draw in that game may be for the best. Azerbaijan holding Croatia perhaps suggests we were not so bad on Friday after all.

    That is poor.

    But should have probably have held it up at the Racecourse. Midweek game vs Belarus isn’t really one which is going to get 30k.

    Bale on

    Dominant 2nd half display so far

    I'd like to contest the idea that Johnny Williams "never gives the ball away"

    Blimey, what an atrocious miss by Bale

    Croatia only drew in Azerbaijan earlier as well. First point for Azerbaijan

    Should be 3-0, will probably end up 1-1

    Rodon has been excellent

    Seconded

    It should be “always gives the ball away”

    Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread

    Carbon copy of Friday, midfield endlessly giving the ball away! We have the tools but no idea how to use them! We've never had so much pace but play with the hand brake on.

    Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread

    Been impressed with Rodon in both games. Johnnie Williams and Joe Allen both had good games in the middle and how Belarus's number 8 didnt get 5 or 6 yellow cards I'll never know.
    Ref was shocking.

    Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread

    Rodon was impressive, the Jacks have got some very good younger players

    Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread

    Wasn't quite a gigantic improvement from Friday but am feeling a lot more positive for it. A lot more energy going forward and it should have been at least 2 nil (will let Bale off after getting the winner from nothing on Friday).
    With the group results yesterday there is no-one to fear in this group anymore. Let's hope Ramsey comes back to full fitness and see what happens in October :)

    Didn't watch it all but seemed a slightly better balance.

    Defended well, kept the ball well through the first two thirds but the final ball or shot often a let down. For as dominant as we were we didn't really trouble the keeper very much.

    Better pressing.
