Lucky to escape with two in my eyes.

bit harsh on the polish players. they made the knockout stages for the first time in 36 years or something like that
Wales
Total shit
Page should do the honourable thing
Just a bunch of sensationalist nonsense. Bale certainly wasn't at his best. And Belgium certainly underperformed. But the idea that someone sat down and combed through 400 hundred-odd players and 64 games is ludicrous.
What's that? Be named as manager of the worst team?Quote:

Still think we need a far more astute manager to get anything from what we will be left with in the next couple of years.
Always going to happen Bale was semi-retired five years ago, he was always going to drop like a stone not playing or training properly for that long, the same as Tomlin.Quote:

When you consider the performances of teams like Morocco and compare that to our performances, it's just downright embarrassing.
We looked like we'd been on the beer celebrating getting there, with little, if any fitness training done at all.
Page won't quit, his bread is buttered for the next 4 years. Another daft and lengthy contract that will cost the squad and the Welsh FA heavily.
Whichever as you want to look at it, Wales were in the bottom 3 performers along with Canada & Qatar. A tumble in the FIFA rankings on the way
Disagree, anybody who watched us against Denmark in Euro 21 and then for some reason thought we had improved over time is not being honest. There was nothing to suggest from that tournament to this, we had improved. I thought Euro 2021 was the biggest disappointment.Quote:

And only a few months ago people on here and elsewhere we shouting for City to sign Bale and Ramsey.Quote:

We were in a pretty tough group to be fair, 3 teams that were pretty equal and England who were always going to win the groupQuote:

At euro 2021 Wales got through the group drawing with the Swiss who put out the French. They beat Turkey and had a narrow defeat in Rome to Italy.Quote:

It wasnt really tough. Come off it. Iran and the USA. England showed how bad Iran were.Quote:

Unless the only wish was to see 11 players in red on a football pitch and performances didnt matter at all.
