    Just a bunch of sensationalist nonsense. Bale certainly wasn't at his best. And Belgium certainly underperformed. But the idea that someone sat down and combed through 400 hundred-odd players and 64 games is ludicrous.

    What's that? Be named as manager of the worst team?

    Got a 4 year gig. Only some form of legal action will end that just before the next wc.

    Whilst he's tactically not great the fitness levels of the squad were horrible, so many happy to just tick over and get there not injured.

    Still think we need a far more astute manager to get anything from what we will be left with in the next couple of years.

    Always going to happen Bale was semi-retired five years ago, he was always going to drop like a stone not playing or training properly for that long, the same as Tomlin.

    agreed

    its just a stupid article from lequipe

    Look at Zieliński, he tops these stats for Poland, the most crosses at 14, distance ran, 41.9 Km, most defensive pressures applied 232, yet he is in the worse team of the tournament

    When you consider the performances of teams like Morocco and compare that to our performances, it's just downright embarrassing.
    We looked like we'd been on the beer celebrating getting there, with little, if any fitness training done at all.

    Page won't quit, his bread is buttered for the next 4 years. Another daft and lengthy contract that will cost the squad and the Welsh FA heavily.

    Whichever as you want to look at it, Wales were in the bottom 3 performers along with Canada & Qatar. A tumble in the FIFA rankings on the way

    Disagree, anybody who watched us against Denmark in Euro 21 and then for some reason thought we had improved over time is not being honest. There was nothing to suggest from that tournament to this, we had improved. I thought Euro 2021 was the biggest disappointment.
    Biggest 3 was probably Germany, Belgium & Denmark given their expectations, history and resources.

    And only a few months ago people on here and elsewhere we shouting for City to sign Bale and Ramsey.

    They'd both really relish a relegation battle and a cold midweek night match in Stoke or Luton... NOT

    We were in a pretty tough group to be fair, 3 teams that were pretty equal and England who were always going to win the group

    A few months ago we were a comfortable mid table side and they could have played a part

    Not now though

    At euro 2021 Wales got through the group drawing with the Swiss who put out the French. They beat Turkey and had a narrow defeat in Rome to Italy.
    A 4-0 defeat is always disappointing but the Danes reached the semi finals. That was hardly a disaster?

    It wasnt really tough. Come off it. Iran and the USA. England showed how bad Iran were.

    The disappointing thing was not finishing bottom or not qualifying but the completely dismal performances , unfit players and a side unable to put in good passages of play.

    The tournament was a disaster.

    Unless the only wish was to see 11 players in red on a football pitch and performances didnt matter at all.
