Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Two of the worst penalty decisions I've seen in one game.
-
Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
That was a worse penalty decision than Belgium’s.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
I'm not sure any kind of game plan would work against this Belgian outfit, although it does look like Bellamy hasn't given us much of a chance with the tactics and formation. The defending for the two goals after the penalty was poor all round, plenty of ball watching.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
We are missing Neco and Dan James who are two of our best players.

Why? The first was handball and the second was a foul by Sels preventing Mephan getting a header possibly on target.

I would have preferred Davies at centre-back.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Very surprised our pelanty was given and with the current rules, their pen was always going to be given, they don't look that good at the back but we are very poor
-
Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
I'd have been happier if neither were given. The keeper doesn't get the ball and does impede Mepham ,but it's as bad a decision as the first. Unfortunately I think that might just wake Belgium up again but let's see.

You can never write this Welsh team off! Unlike all the donkeys over on X!

Bloody hell, come on Wales!

I don't believe it met the criteria for handball.
1. deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball I'd say no
2. touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. Again I'd say no.
The second penalty I thought was poor. Keeper gets the ball at the exact same time as the attacker. It wasn't careless so I can't see how it is a foul.

Lovely goal and this commentator is awful :facepalm:

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Wilson is so good.
I can remember Mick McCarthy dropping him in favour of Leandro Bacuna

So basic yet they can’t pronounce De Bruyne’s name correctly.

I think because Johnson turned his body the position of his arm did make his body unnaturally bigger.
Anyway 3-3 😊

Just said that the comeback is brilliant given that we spent so much time without the ball in the first half.
We had more possession in the first half 😆

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Arrogant half time subs costing Belgium, but Wales deserve tremendous credit - Wilson providing the class.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
What a second half from wales
Ffs just as I posted

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
What a load of nonsense.
Football is gone.
VAR has destroyed it.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Both Welsh players and Bellamy saw it was out. What was the linesman doing ?
Ah crap.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
These officials are an absolute shower tonight! Never a corner which then leads to their goal!
-
Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Johnson didn't fancy defending.
-
Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
For all of the spirit and skill of our comeback, we’ve defended dreadfully tonight - what a shocking goal to concede.

Joe Rodon's positioning has been awful all game.

Terrible decision, that corner. Ended up so costly.

Re: BELGIUM v WALES. Match thread
Never seen a worse VAR performance. There probably wasn’t near enough injury time in both halves

This.
Even when we got back to 3-3 I thought we'd equalised too early as every time they went forward with intent they looked like scoring. So many gaps.
Doku is class mind.

Yeah, I said “blow the whistle for time ref” as Johnson’s equaliser hit the net as I had no faith in us being able to keep them out for the remaining twenty minutes or so.
