We'll probably lose 4-1 but at the moment the draw feels like it's on :)
That is terrible from Mepham

That challenge was parks standard!
Mepham really is dreadful. Shocking defending. Game over.
Mepham feckin clown, that's not football ffs.
You might expect it from a striker in his own box but not a defender, that was just awful.
Not only did he let the ball come to him, he didn't have a clue who was behind him.
Shocker!
sadly we don't have enough talented players and get found out. we'd been looking better 2nd half as well but that's killed it.
Mertens did throw himself in to the leg of Mepham just to make sure
Shame really, Wales really gave Belgium a game in the second half and the penalty has curbed their momentum.
Mepham is so prone to switching off, Ward makes the crucial stop and Mepham opts to check where the ball is heading to rather than try to cut out the path of the ball. Sees that it's heading for a Belgian, it's too late to do anything meaningful and he panics and just lashes out. Park football stuff.
Bale off, Keiffer on!
Corner!..... foul by KM
Cabango is a regular for Swansea, Mepham can't get a kick for Bournemouth. Giggs and Page don't half have favourites.
Loss is a loss but doesn’t feel like the hiding it could have been. Ward hasn’t had to do much but has fished it out the net three times. Belgium have had to work for it and we’ve passed and kept possession well (when possible), especially in the second half.
That’s as positive a loss as we can hope for I think. Looking forward to the game against the Czechs.
Ah well pretty much as expected.
I thank you
Yep Cabango should have started. Mepham always has a mistake in him. No surprise at the result.
Had Ramsey, Davies and Brooks been fit it would have been very interesting.
Thought we did pretty well and were very brave in our approach in the second half - 3-1 was probably about right on the balance of play.
Losing Joe so early hurt us
Keep in mind that there are things we did well which helped us qualify previously:
- Together Stronger
- One game at a time
Not really any need for hyperbole in criticism.
There was some really good stuff tonight (not that it counts but our goal was the best on display) but an uphill battle from moment our defender slipped in the box to give Hazard an easy header. Not long before Courtois had almost passed it back to us meters from goal and not too long after it was De Bruyne slipping just miles away from danger - luck going against you three times like that when playing FIFA ranked best side in the world makes it a very hard game. Some in camp words needed about defensive lapses in goals conceded, but we created a few dangerous moments with good pressing from James and Wilson in particular and Rodon looks like a beast at CB.
Chris Gunter's ton on Saturday, with chance for some youth/fringe development, then another important game next Tuesday.
Decent performance considering the absentees. Need stuff to go your way when you play a side as good as Belgium and that didn't happen tonight. I can't help but feel we backed off too much after taking the lead though
Wonderful goal, turns out Wilson's a decent player when you keep the ball on the floor
Kept S4C on and they’re showing a doc on Dai Davies (rip), great footage of a packed Ninian Park in a couple of games against England.
Bale seems to have escaped criticism. A couple of decent moments but anonymous most of the time. It annoys me that he sulks when he loses the ball and then doesn’t track back.
The pitch was shocking for an international match. No doubt they are a class side but Wales were the better side in the second half,with some better decision making a draw was a real possibility up until the pelanty.
I watched that.
Most of it gobbledegook but got the gist.
Superb footage, brought a lot of memories back.
Some of the pitches were literally like a ploughed field.
WTF did the groundsmen do, did they even have 'em?
Considering how highly ranked Belgium are, I thought they were toothless. Yes they deserved to win but they had to rely on a Conor Roberts slip and a daft penalty to win the game. With a full team out I see no reason why we can't turn the tables on them at home. Oh, and Brazil would have been proud to have scored a goal like ours. A thing of beauty
Yes it was a lovely goal. Roberts slip was very costly.
