Czech Republic only beat Belarus 1-0 as well - we'll do well to win on Sunday.

Belarus game becoming a farce. Are there no grounds in Kaliningrad to make it a little bit less travel intensive if it has to be in Russia?

Also I presume they have to use a Russian venue rather than somewhere a bit more convenient given Belarus’ relative international relations in Europe or they’re worried about players not going back à la that Belarusian lass at the Tokyo olympics?

Fairplay we’ve been given the runaround by Uefa with venues recently.

I think the reason UEFA have given us the runaround is because we put their nose out of place reaching the Euro semi's

Good news expected

[Joe Gillis]

Our game against Belarus just got that bit harder...

Original defenders picked for the squad: Gunter, Ben Davies, Ampadu, Mepham, Rodon, Neco Williams, Lockyer, Lawrence, Norrington-Davies

Joe Rodon and Neco Williams injured and pull out, Ethan Ampadu and Brandon Cooper (replacement called up) unable to get visas for Russia. Tyler Roberts also out due to visa issues.

Will have to knuckle down and win the game anyway but so far this re-arranged fixture has meant i) greater distance to travel, ii) greater admin cost and iii) players unable to go.

- 1st up is Finland: Wednesday 1 September 2021 \ 19:00
- 2nd is Belarus: Sunday 5 September 2021 \ 14:00
- 3rd is Estonia: Wednesday 8 September 2021 \ 19:45 (tickets:https://www.faw.cymru/en/news/ticket...mru-v-estonia/)

Is that our name now? Wales/Cymru?

Gareth Bale on Wales' game against Belarus being moved to Kazan in Russia:

“I was disappointed the neutral venue wasn’t Wembley – everything else seems to be there!”

Sassy Bale is the best

Is that our name now? Wales/Cymru?

Well it is our country's name in our country's native language

[Freitag 4.17]

If forced to choose between the two, I'd go with Cymru, besides that - didn't realise just how decimated our squad was for this game, might be tricky - grab your boots lads, TIT we're going to need a coach pronto!

My Welsh team for today;-

Ward

Gunter
Lockyer
Lawrence
Davies

Allen
Smith
Levitt

Johnson/Colwill (think I'd just go with Johnson if pushed)
Bale (on the right if Colwill plays and a false number nine if it's Johnson)
James

[surge]

Ward

Gunter
Mepham
Lawrence
Davies

Allen
Morrell

James
Bale
Johnson

Colwill

That's my guess as how we'll line-up with announced team. I was expecting to see Levitt or Smith in the side as they gave us some go forward against Finland but they can come off the bench.

This is shocking defending

[MacAdder]

This is shocking defending

WTF was Gunter doing?

It'll be tough from here. Even if we score 2 we've gotta keep em out!

[Madassa]

This is shocking defending

Abject with a capital A😠

[dembethewarrior]

At least it isn't 3-1

[WJ99mobile]

Jesus.

That goal has knocked the stuffing out of us.

[Vindec]

I thought there was a lot of support for playing with kids.

Crazy loco

[Madassa]

Jesus.

That goal has knocked the stuffing out of us.

Even before the goal and though they'd done f all to threaten our defensive set up looked a mess - no pace, no organisation and over confident. Gunter has been a great servant but WTF was he doing. He's only there because of his experience and he commits a school boy error or just plain stupidity and .the 2nd goal.... Grrrrr

[Rhiwbina Blues]

Page being out done tactically again. Need some second half with lack of options of the bench
