Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
We were battered but dear God the refereeing was appalling. The second goal should not have stood, the Wilson red card was an embarrassment and two of their goals looked offside.
Regardless of some of the ref's decisions, let's face it Denmark were by far the better side on the day. A soft second goal virtually sealed their win at the start of the second half.

But if the free kick is given for Kieffer, the 2nd goal does not happen

You think Denmark would have lost the game if the second goal was disallowed then? Uhm....
We won't ever know. I think it should be ruled out if ref's the same way as Moore's yellow, Rodon's yellow and Wilson's red. 1 goal difference means they can't sit back and we don't go gung no which is why teams were so separated in the end.
Allen was my MotM by the way.
When we look back on the tournament we should probably focus on the Switzerland game. We lost to Italy who are top 10, lost to Denmark who are 11th and beat Turkey who are (Fifa rankings) worse than us but we got a very credible draw against Switzerland who are meant to be better than us by 4/5 places. That's our progress, and qualifying out of group success, from this tournament.
Stick with the team. Not everything will be smooth but we got a big prize to play for over next 9 months or so.
Overall I think its been a bit disappointing, good to get through the group but based on ranking and what we have done last 5 years or so it was never beyond us. Then we were just owned today.
They can still produce moments but the years have certainly caught up with Bale, Ramsey and Allen. No shame in that but I fear that it may take some time to get back to this sort of level again, so many of the younger players in the set up just don't seem to have kicked on for a few years.
