I think it does, as in‘16 it can be a potential spring board. I think it’s our best chance of a win. Turkey in Baku will get the support & Italy in Rome will be tough.
I think that it needs to be treated as a knock out game & Wales have to go for the win. As a minimum we need 4 points from the Banks games, so there is little point in being conservative.
It is big, could do with Italy putting 6 past Turkey tonight as well
We can beat them all , can't we ?
They are all capable but we are capabale too. Draw Win draw. , I'm going for.
Can't believe how much of an advantage the likes of England, Scotland and Hungary have been given....among others.
MS shits on Hampden doesn't it ? I assume this has been discussed to death but Feck me.... this tournament is not an even playing field.
Yes
Think Italy are dark horses
I really disagree with that mindset. I think we can beat Turkey and beat Italy and should take the tournament one game at a time until we're mathematically out.
I will concede that Switzerland on paper appears to be our easiest game of the first three.
Yes, every team needs to get off to a winning start.
Spot on. The format of the tournament is so flawed:shrug:Quote:

Semis again but with a bit of luck ........................................ Could be lining up at WEMBLEY, WEMBLEY in the final 👍
Important we don’t lose. We lose and it’s goodbye I fear.
One foot in each camp here - Swiss father and Welsh mother. Bigger foot (by some distance) in the Welsh camp, but I get annoyed seeing the Swiss underestimated - although I admit that they have often been billed as the 'next big thing' and usually flatter to deceive at the big tournaments.
Anyway, must go and get my feet sorted out :-)
Must win game especially if Italy win their first group game tonight, it sets the group up nicely .
They've been to every World Cup since 2006, missed one Euros since 2004 and qualified from their tournament group in four out of the seven events they've been too. We know how easy it is not to qualify so I'm not underestimating them.Quote:

In 2016, 2 of the 6 3rd placed teams had 4 points, and 4 had 3 points. The 2 that didnt get through to the knockout had a negative goal difference.
Portugal mind went through after drawing all 3 group games.
A win will be great tomorrow. Even better if it's by 2 goals.
If we lose tomorrow we are gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if Italy finish on 9 points and the rest finish on 2.
Saying that in the first 20 mins Turkey have offered nothing. Could do with Italy scoring 4.
