We beat Russia 3 - 0 and at the time I said it was the best Welsh performance I had ever seen ( little did I know Belgium were just around the corner )

Rambo was on fire :wales::wales::wales:

Definitely the best Welsh performance I have seen. An absolute masterclass.

And we forget that Russia were favourites and a win would have taken them over us and we'd have been out. I remember hoping for a draw before it started!

They were all in their prime, even Ashley Williams a rock at the back….don’t think we will see times that good again for a long while

Re: 7 years ago today

We were brilliant that game, literally battered them.

Re: 7 years ago today

Great result and then we found out at full time that we’d won the group!

Watching the city and Wales it's very rare that you know you are going to win a match after only twenty minutes play but I still remember that feeling in Toulouse that night...... Magical

That day was only bettered when I got back from France and found that my mate had a spare ticket for the Belgium game...so I had to beg for more time of work and go back

Re: 7 years ago today

I was there with my dad and had accidentally got absolutely steaming.
I can still remember a lot of it though and the atmosphere was just stunning. I think it helped that it was the first night match at the tournament for us.

I had to keep asking my dad what the score was because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

I was there for that game. Tremendous day. Ramsey was at it hammer and tongs. Hot day too.

How do you get "accidentally absolutely steaming"? :shrug:

Re: 7 years ago today

That story Chris Coleman tells about how Chris Gunter told him to relax and enjoy the game says it all about that match - we could have beaten Portugal with Ramsey and Davies available.

It happens, get carried away in the occasion. That was a great couple of days and nights in Toulouse!
Had an early train to Nice the following day, that was a rough journey but worth it.

This is my recollection of that night too... totally bricking it and then after 15-20 it was clear we were going to absolutely boss it, from there one of the best atmospheres ever experience, just a total party. Unfortunately I'd been really ill the couple of days before in Toulouse but managed to have a few drinks after, just brilliant memories.
