Bale is happy just for Wales to have made it to the World Cup. It shows Gareth. If you'd tried and lost 6-0 you could have gone home with your heads held higher. They should boo you off the plane. Well done England though. Much more creative. I needed at least 3-0 to get some confidence back in this team and they did it. Come now monte , lets not getting carried away as you anglo saxons have a desperate habit of doing so.
A good comfortable win , but lets reflect.
You beat a team of camel herders in the first game , drew with a country who call fitba soccer , and then put a poor welsh team to the sword , whose talismatic aging player was taken off injured he was that bad.
Typical southgate team......inspiring against lesser oppositon , and poor against passable opposition like the USA. He fears losing more than he wants to win , which isnt the hallmark of a great manager.
300 grand a week footballers should have spanked that group stage with their b team.
You will , or should easily beat senegal , best of a poor african bunch who again dont have their best player. As i said to my mate steve , i havent been so underwhelmed at a world cup in my life. I watched the english game , nearly fell asleep up to half time , and turned off once bale went off then the english scored.
The fact so many good european teams havent managed to qualify from the difficult european qualifiers , and yet crap like tunisia and others are there to "represent" the four corners of the globe show how far footballs elite competition has fallen.
Why arent these african , asian , oceanic and central american teams in play offs against the better european teams ?
Its like letting the cypriot champions into the champions league to make sure south east europe is represented.
If england cant win this world cup southgate should forget management......but he wont of course. As an FA yes man and bbc woke hero with his knee taking schtick , the jobs his for life where better managers would have been gven the boot.

We're representing Britain; we've got to do or die For Scotland cannae dae it 'cause they didnae qualify. As a proud european im rooting for our fellow europeans France , who are there representing our continent.
Italy didnt qualify either , but they still beat you in the euroes in your own backyard. We are in good company , while england is struggling at a world cup with the minnows....

Ah, the old ally. You never could bash the English without the help of France could you? To be honest monte , on a serious note i have had enough of this borefest. I might watch the semis finals and final , but englandshire versus senegal? I would rather watch auchinleck versus neilston.
other way around monte. The french generally beat england and kicked them out of france with our help . We did a pretty damn good job on our own from the 7th century to the 16th wihtout much help from anyone.

Ah, the old ally. I think as well monte , questions must start being asked more urgently about the role of Fifa after the debacle of this world cup.

OK, you make a fair point about Wales. I may have been unnecessarily cruel to a team that had no ambition and were only there to make up numbers. I'm still not sure I would have been happy if England had the same attitude. We only needed a draw and could have parked the bus against a team that has only scored one goal in the World Cup finals since 1958, but we didn't. I suppose the fact that Europe gets one third of all the places awarded to 5 continents is down to the fact it is a World Cup and we already have the Euros. Oh, and I don't identify as an Anglo-Saxon. I live in the land of the Iceni and give no credit to these Johnny come lately Germanic types. We followers of the flame haired warrior queen may have ultimately suffered defeat at the hands of the Italians but we gave them a bloody nose at Colchester, St Albans and London first. Came as close to kicking them out of Britain as we did to beating them in the Euros. Glorious defeats to be sure but at least we tried. |

Oh I absolutely agree and if there's one bright spot about the appalling decision to award the finals to a totalitarian bigoted regime who have created the largest carbon footprint in history for any single event outside of a world war it is that the corruption at FIFA has been exposed to such a degree that it is impossible to ignore. I expect heads to roll. |

I had to Google Auchinleck versus Neilston. My first thought was it was Auchinleck verses Rommel surely.  OK I'll give you Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn wee Tommy, your boys done good, hands up you beat us fair and square but as everyone knows it's not the heats that matter it's the final and that was played on the fields at Culloden.  |

Next we have to take Senegal away from France as we did in the Seven Year war and then on to the old foe themselves to relive victories too numerous to list but expect references to Crecy, Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo (not ABBA's finest ditty, the other one). |

Yeah. I was just alternating some lyrics from Allys tartan army . A line inspired by one of the few times that Scotland qualified for the World cup and England didnt. The line reflected the small mindedness of the Scots . It still seems to apply today . To England , the Scottish team is irrelevant. To the Scots ,any failure of the English team is a victory for them . |
