The football playing population in Wales is that of a small city. Maybe 500k. How the fuck they can even field a team is beyond me. Rugby is King in Wales by a LOT.

And how would you know that? Rugby is by far the most popular sport in Wales. You get straight up hostility from older people especially regarding football. Cardiff and Swansea like football. Outside of that and you're really on your own.
>>
>>68756167
It isn't even close. Compare an international rugby day in Cardiff, the capital, and the most football loving place to yesterday or any time this Euros. A historic moment for Welsh football. The turnout was not even 1/10th of a shit international.

England will meet Portugal in round of 16 while Wales meet Czech Republic.

If England win they will meet France in quarter finals, while Wales meet Belgium if they win theirs. In Semi Finals England will meet either Germany / Italy / Croatia.

Wales in the semis will meet Spain.

Seems like Wales have the easier path to the Semis now.

Not really mate, Wales have a decent side but Slovakia and Russia treated them like minnows and got punished for it.

Russia, Slovakia and Wales all just sat back and stuck 100 men behind the ball for the entirety of their matches against England. England have a good side but not really got the kind of players to break down that kind of bus parking.

I'm actually really happy for Wales, they deserve to go through - but their path to the top of the group was much easier.

England were unironically too good for this fucking shit group. Slovakia, Wales and Russia are not even in the same stratosphere as England. We are better than all 3 combined and not a single one of them would get any player in our team. Yes, I include Bale. Lallana and Sterling are both better than Bale and Andros Townsend is at least as good and didn't even get into our squad. England are TOO FUCKING GOOD for this group. If you put Mike Tyson in the ring with a fucking ferret the ferret would run away and Mike wouldn't land a punch. Put Mike in the ring with a heavyweight and he destroys him. England will easily beat any of the so called 'top' teams because they might try and fucking score. England will win this fucking tournament. England are like a caver who crawls through caves as a living. Put a caver in a wide open field and he has no idea what to do because he isn't trained for it, but put him in a dangerous and tight cave and he'll ease through just like England will when we play France or Germany or whoever.

>Wales potential 2nd round opponents
Albania. Wales won't beat them, Albania will just park the bus
Nothern Ireland, as above
Poland or Germany who will both destroy Wales
Czech Republic or Croatia, both far better than Wales

>England potential 2nd round opponents
Iceland, lel. fucking meme joke. England will devastate them as punishment for that volcano ruining our holidays a few years back, hopefully a few Iceland fans will get smashed outside the ground

100% agree mate. We should have beaten them all easily, even with their bus parking.

Didn't help the Roy played a weakened team last night as if we'd already won the group. You mean to tell me that two players who have been injured all season and were shit to begin with couldn't run the midfield? Thank God Dier was there to clean up Henderson's and Wilshere's fucking mess.

Why are the English so afraid to admit that they just aren't very good at soccer? Every single fuckin time you freaks don't do as well as you expect to it's because "they just don't care" or "they can't be bothered", as if international competition weren't the most significant and widely watched form of football competition around.

It's not that they don't care. It's pretty much impossible to just "not care" at the level they're playing at. They certainly care, more than you and I can even imagine. They just aren't good.

>Wales have the most goals per game in the whole Euros
>Wales have the top scorer of the whole Euros

The only thing England lead at is number of attempts. That is, the number of times they've smacked wild balls in the vague direction of the goal. Fucking lel.

Even PORTUGAL with their desperate displays of inefficacy haven't had more attempts than England.

Englishmen arse-blasted, yet again. 50 years of hurt boys, 50 more to come :)

It's not like the other superstars are doing much better. Iniesta is the only superstar player that I can think of that has made his presence felt.

Goals cover up mistakes and poor form, and Bale has 3 of them, arguably at crucial times as well.

>"duh players hate playing for England durr'

I'm not saying they hate playing for England, I'm just saying the team spirit, which isn't just down to the players but the management as well, is not there.

The players are all good players, as evidenced by their displays in the Premier League. Kane was the top goalscorer in the Premier League this season. Vardy was second and won the league with Leicester. The PL is one of the top leagues in the world, where they play alongside some of the best players in the world from all over the world.

But attitude is the problem. Wales are winning because they have a team spirit, because they are absolutely hungry. England are complacent and Roy is a soft cunt who says "there's nothing more we could have done" after drawing against Slovakia. No, there's a lot more we could have done, and a manger like Chris Coleman would not have let his team get away with such a pathetic performance without giving them a stern word. That is why England have been shit and Wales have been good.

>>68757524
No, you excuse-making little woman, had you won yesterday and topped the group no one would be talking any shit beyond whatever final 16 match you ended up with.

But you didn't do that, did you? You didn't win your group. You managed to get beat out by fucking WALES, a microscopic nobody of a "nation". Wales scored more goals, won more games and was more exciting than England. That's why we're talking shit you delusional fuck.

Throwing your hands up and saying "Oy what else could've we done to make ya happy wif us?!" is absolutely fucking retarded WHEN YOU LOST YOUR GROUP TO FUCKING WALES
>>
>>68757553

Enjoy seeing England have a pathetic 0-0 draw mate and then crash out on penalties, while Wales bang in a couple of blooters courtesy of Bale and Ramsey.

The better team won the group, it's as simple as that :)

>>68757553
>implying Croatia fans won't sabotage their NT again by throwing more flares

Either Croatia get banned by UEFA or get sabotaged by their fans and Wales win with a Bale free kick.

>>
>>68757571
I'm not that guy, I'm an Englishman that agrees with the gist of what you're saying though. However:

>You managed to get beat out by fucking WALES, a microscopic nobody of a "nation".
They're not actually as much a of "nobody" as you might think if you look at their team. Bale is the most expensive player in the world. Ramsey plays for one of the top PL clubs. Williams also plays in the Premier League, as does Hennessy. These are players that would arguably all make it into the England team, or at least get on the bench.
>>
>>68757568
>we don't have enough spirit bruv, ye, that's the problem
>it's all that damn manager yeh? he's a right twat he is

You're absolutely fucking retarded. If playing for your country on an international stage in a MAJOR competition doesn't invigorate you then nothing will and blaming the manager for that is ridiculous.

Why is it, time and time and time and time again, England seems to be the only team facing this "spirit" crisis. You faced it in the last Euros and in all previous World Cups according to England fans. Why? How come Germany doesn't face "spirit" problems then? Why didn't England have a spirit crisis when they beat Wales?

"spirit" and "morale" are just scapegoat memes that you adopted from clueless presenters on BT Sport who were desperate to explain the disappointing performance of the English team by any means other than "England just kinda isn't all that good"

How will they score blooters if Wales can't get in the opposition's half?

chill out m8

If you want a real reason as to why england didn't win the group in this euros it's already been said multiple times -

england are incapable of breaking down teams who soak up pressure for 90 minutes, barring a lucky goal because they lack the creativity of nations like spain and germany. spain will often dominate the against shit nations but it will take them nearly the entire match to score a goal despite having over 20 shots at goal

this euros it has been a similar story for england, but obviously england are not as good as spain

against better opposition, england's attack will thrive because the pacey players will have space to run into and allow the ball to be played behind the defence a lot more

Right lads I think we need a new manager, someone who can be as inspirational as Chris Coleman. And it needs to be an ENGLISHMAN if we want to win anything. Chris Coleman is Welsh, Joachim Löw is German, Didier Deschamps is French, Vicente Del Bosque is Spanish. We need an Englishman.

Who should we get? It should be someone young, with passion, with fire in their belly. Somebody who isn't afraid of getting tough with the players, and I mean seriously tough. Somebody who desperately wants to prove himself and win games and titles.

For me, I think Sam Allardyce has to be the top choice. He was successful with West Ham. He pulled off a miraculous saviour of Sunderland this season. He's very experienced, he's a fantastic manager.

An alternative could be Alan Pardew. Obviously less experienced but he did well at Newcastle considering their circumstances, and he got Palace to the cup final. I would say he's perhaps a bit less qualified but he does have youth and hunger on his side.

i'm giving you a reason as to why england have been underwhelming in the scoring department, and it's been backed up by many pundits and ex footballers. if you aren't a complete retard you will be able to observe this pattern from watching all of group b's matches.

Breaking down a 10 man bus park is hard for any team, playing a team that plays football against us means it's easier to get in behind the defence and create clear cut chances. The trick is making sure the opposition don't exploit this fact more than you do. This is basic common sense.

See the germany-england friendly from not so long ago to see what I'm talking about.

I can't wait to watch a team ram their bus right down England's throat. You'll be wishing you had beaten a bus parking team like Slovakia when an actual soccer team shows you how to play your own game.

If england are so shit what does that make wales since they lost to them?
>>
>>68757981
Don't think you understand mate. We want a shit team to play like they think they're brilliant. Playing according to their actual ability is just unfair
>>
>>68757981

You're not making a lot of sense lad, we have had a bus rammed down our throat 3 trimes in a row. It would be nice to play a team that actually tries to play football against us.

Not sure he knows what a bus is 2bh, I've heard stuff about the North American public transports system but to not know what a bus is is a bit much.

both goals were fucking shite. It's just a shame Bale's header went wide in the last minute.
I think English media plays a big part though, they are the reason I dislike England as a team. If they created lessof a buzz and were less cocky then they'd be a lot more likeable.

>>68755857
but they CHOSE to play for Wales. Sure, it might be to just get international caps, but fuck that, they're a good side.

I'm not sure if it's the same all over wales, but the rugby is for the welsh middle class up north. an excuse for wine o'clock with the girlies. I do like that there's no daffodil hat in fucking sight when the footy is on though. fuck rugby fans and their fake support.

The funny thing is that you and other don't seem to realise that this "England is shit at their own sport, that's embarassing" meme is only a thing on a sports board in an online chinese cartoon picture forum. Nobody IRL bangs on about the apparent embarassment of England not being the absolute best team in a sport that has become the world's most popular sport, taken up and moulded in different ways by nations all over the planet. Yet you and the Americans go on and on and on and on about it like it means anything.

It was the easiest qualifying group, m8.

Breaking down the under 15's isn't great practice for breaking down the pro teams a few months later. Knowing England's team, it probably just convinced them they're better than they are.

I work in a grocery store and although no one REALLY cares about the Euros, there's one guy with English heritage who drives around with an English flag on his van and it's a running joke when the World Cup and Euros come around to make fun of how bad England is "at their own game".

england are so depressingly stagnant it hurts

i think half the players dont deserve to play, they simply dont understand cup competitions. this isn't a fucking 38 game season, this is 7 games tops to go all out and fucking win.

i think england pissed away 50 chances over 2 games by slow playing and running in from the wings instead of fucking crossing and giving vardy service. they have a really talented team but they just don't understand that they need to just WIN.

get rid of all those useless niggers off the team and make kane and vardy play 90 minutes
