2nd game...we got outplayed..and lost to England. Think we had only one shot on goal...Bales FK?
3rd game..we beat Russia..who were already out, demoralised, played their squad players, and had one foot on the plane home.
4th game....an OG...1-0...and NI fans claiming they were the better team...hard to argue against that.
5th game...got slaughtered first half hour..could have/should have, been 3 down. Then, when Volkes..Williams...and HRK (none of them actually Welsh btw) all score..in the same game...you know someone up above is looking down on you !

It was a great few weeks in France....but please...keep it real eh?
You hate Williams so much that you reduce our national football team's greatest achievement to that? Pathetic.

Also, you're wrong. A win could have seen Russia through, we completely outplayed them in a stunning performance. If you want to talk about luck then Slovakia were lucky to have 11 on the pitch and to be just 1 down at half time considering Skrtel's assault on Jonny Williams. We were too conservative against England but Coleman learned his lesson and after a shaky start we were deserving winners over Belgium while a tight Northern Ireland game was decided by the best player on the pitch
