    He's spot on! Wales were treated shoddily!! We should have complained before the tournament kicked off

    If Wales had been allowed to play at home would Welsh Goverment allow it or allow fans in, didn't WAG impose rule of no fans to leave Wales with strict travel and quarantine rules?

    Let's hope it never happens again.
    Even without coving it would have been unfair on the some fans to travel here there and everywhere

    Would’ve taken us playing all our group games in Cardiff regardless of the crowd, sure the squad would’ve as well, has to be better than thousands of miles on the clock.

    The Swiss and ourselves could’ve easily entered the Copa America this year with plenty of miles to spare. Ludicrous situations brought about by an ill thought out tournament.

    I'm all for building up low football nations to help give them a chance to grow football in their countries and regions but why the hell was Azerbaijan an option for this tournament? One random location 1000's of kms further than the rest. Someone was always going to get shafted going there.

    Uefa created this format to give smaller countries a chance to host games that would normally never have the infrastructure to host the tournament on their own and what do they do? Give the majority of games to countries who have hosted tournaments in the past 20 years or so! Corrupt to the core $$$

    It's only fair that Germany was a host, because they might never host another euros again.

    Oh hold on, they are the 2024 hosts.

    Oh come off it.

    Next people will be saying that England offered the largest bung to Platini in order to have a humongous leg up by hosting all bar one of their games in London!

    Of course they're corrupt. Just like FIFA. A World Cup in December. In Qatar. Which has a horrible human rights record and where apparently, 6,500 migrant laborers have died since their WC bid was accepted in 2010. Meanwhile, talk of boycotts by western democracies is very quiet.

    Players should **** it off. FIFA said that it doesn't get involved in politics, then hands the world cup to qatar. Absolute disgrace.

    Whilst the imbalance of travelling was definitely unfair, does anyone on here genuinely believe we’d have got further than the last 16 if all our games were in Cardiff?
    We did as was expected, but our limitations were laid bare for all to see.
    It’s not long ago we couldn’t even qualify for major finals. It’s great just to be involved.

    But as it’s football all sides should play on a level playing field.

    Why would UEFA do England any favours in this current political climate ,they are intensely disliked right through Europe including the relevant football associations .

    Wales footy fans are and still banned for farting , no freedom date in sight even for our City friendlies,m so I'm at a loss as to why we think any attendance at any game home or away would be allowed by our own government , as were on a locked down and don't move which seem to be enjoyed by most .
