They look like a well organised unit now that wont be push over for anyone.
They will still disappoint .

Agreed .
I think all 4 teams have won a watch in our little group.
No reason any one from the 4 cant go through. Well maybe Austria :hehe:

Sorry Jimmy, but I think the penalty kick has done Scotland lots of favours down the years, not just against Wales.

Are Wales overhyped? I think Wales get a fair bit of disrespect, still the same old "one man team" jibes etc even though we've been ranked in the top 25 for about 6 years, lost just the one home qualifier since 2014 and been promoted to League A of the Nations League.

I don't think I've even seen anyone over hype Wales on here really.

I'm with you on this. Bale has been average for years too

For Wales or overall? Because when he did play for Spurs last year his numbers were ridiculously good. Bale isn't close to average he's just had injury problems.

For Wales I meant. 👍🏻 Hattrick saved us against Belarus but other than that he's been average for Wales. I don't think we play to his strengths anymore, plays too deep for my liking.

I still would have him in my starting 11 every day of the week though.
Re: World Cup playoffs draw
Think average is a bit harsh, he’s not the player he was, but I’d back him to show he’s still pretty good if he’s fit for the Play Offs.

Yeah we have to play him but we're far from a one man team anymore.

I think it's fair but you're right, if he's fit and firing he could win those two games for us.
