So what do Johnny Foreigners know about Wales?
Do they even know the country existed before the Euros?
I know that they're the actual Britons.
>>68531386
Wales is a country?
Was it ever a country?
>>68531450
it's an older country than england desu
Love the dragon.
>>68531386
I'm a history geek so I know some stuff about it.
>>68531386
English lackeys that shot our cavalry down.
>>68531386
I know that they're smart. They displayed this by losing to England.
With the loss to England, the English delusion grows exponentially, and when it crashes in the next round it will crash hard.
They enjoy intimacy with sheep.
>>68531592
Pretty sure it's only players like dier walker and kane with this mentality
It's what's ruined us as a team for decades, we need to stop being so self entitled and dryer about 1966
>>68531386
sheep shagging but proud country
managed to keep it's identity despite being under English rule for centuries
also had a shitload of mines
Do kids learn welsh in school, or just english?
>>68531386
they have a nice flag
I´ve heard they are just like galicians
they shag sheep
Based rugby country.
Thanks for kicking England out of RWC2015 and providing us an unlimited number of keks.
Sheepshagging, dragon flag and that meme dying language.
Wales is not and never was a country. It's legally part of England.
>>68531711
Both. There are weslh speaking schools and english speaking schools.
Tell me about Welsh rarebit.
True Britons unlike the English who have been raped by Germans, Vikings, and French Vikings for centuries
>>68531449
>Bretons*
Briton (term for citizens and subjects of the British nation-state) =/= Breton (the term the Romans used, and is still uesd, to collectively describe the celtic tribes who live on the part of the island they had colonised and called Britannia, south of what they refered to as Caledonia and the Picts).
>>68531386
pretty much nothing, except they have their own weird language, lots of farms with sheeps kek,
have a feeling they like the english more than the scottish and irish
>>68531820
welsh*
Btw Wales isn't a country, it's a nation. Any tom, achmed and jamal can form a country. Nothing special. It takes a specific homogeneous people to form a nation.
>>68531835
>believes there were no Viking raids of Wales
>believes there was no Norman settlement in Wales (clearly hasn't heard of Strongbow!)
>believes the Anglo-Saxons didn't fight with the Welsh, nor the English later
>>68531386
I once tuned in to a Welsh TV program where young people got drunk, showed their fanny and peed on the floor inside a club. Is this normal behavior in Cardiff?
>>68531893
>have a feeling they like the english more than the scottish and irish
No.
>>68531917
England can have their shit Arabic speaking country.
>>68531948
i know irish and scottish people were at some part in a war/feud against the brits, dont know about the welsh so i guessed
>>68531386
Sheep and Sophie Dee

>>68531832

What about Tom Jones and Catherine Zeta-Jones?
My great great grandfather is from Wales
Edward the king, the English king,
Bestride his tawny steed,
"For I will see if Wales," said he,
"Accepts my rule indeed.
"Are stream and mountain fair to see?
Are meadow grasses good?
Do corn-lands bear a crop more rare
Since wash'd with rebel's blood?
"And are the wretched people there,
Whose insolence I broke
As happy as the oxen are
Beneath the driver's yoke?
"In truth this Wales, Sire, is a gem,
The fairest in your crown:
The stream and field rich harvest yield,
And fair and dale and down.
"And all the wretched people there
Are calm as man could crave;
Their hovels stand throughout the land
As silent as the grave."
Edward the king, the English King
Bestrides his tawny steed;
A silence deep his subjects keep
And Wales is mute indeed.
The castle named Montgomery
Ends that day's journeying;
The castle's lord, Montgomery,
Must entertain the king.
Then game and fish and ev'ry dish
That lures the taste and sight
A hundred hurrying servants bear
To please the appetite.
With all of worth the isle brings forth
In dainty drink and food,
And all the wines of foreign vines
Beyond the distant flood.
"You lords, you lords, will none consent
His glass with mine to ring?
What? Each one fails, you dogs of Wales,
To toast the English king?
>there are plebs who think that England, Wales e.t.c. are real countries
>Britbongs continue on trolling everyone by claiming that the 4 "countries" of the UK is more than a fancy name for the first level administrative division
>those plebs also don't know about real countries like Saint Helena, Guernsey, Isle of Man e.t.c. and think that country is used to only refer to independent states (this part is funny, since amerifats use "states" to name their first level adminstrative divisions, imperialism much?)
>this happens on a board remotely connected to geography
manic street preachers
that's all i've got
>>68532143
"Though game and fish and ev'ry dish
That lures the taste and sight
Your hand supplies, your mood defies
My person with a slight.
"You rascal lords, you dogs of Wales,
Will none for Edward cheer?
To serve my needs and chant my deeds
Then let a bard appear!"
The nobles gaze in fierce amaze,
Their cheeks grow deadly pale;
Not fear but rage their looks engage,
They blanch but do not quail.
All voices cease in soundless peace,
All breathe in silent pain;
Then at the door a harper hoar
Comes in with grave disdain:
"Lo, here I stand, at your command,
To chant your deeds, O king!"
And weapons clash and hauberks crash
Responsive to his string.
"Harsh weapons clash and hauberks crash,
And sunset sees us bleed,
The crow and wolf our dead engulf -
This, Edward, is your deed!
"A thousand lie beneath the sky,
They rot beneath the sun,
And we who live shall not forgive
This deed your hand hath done!"
"Now let him perish! I must have"
(The monarch's voice is hard)
"Your softest songs, and not your wrongs!"
In steps a boyish bard:
>>68532228
"The breeze is soft at eve, that oft
From Milford Havens moans;
It whispers maidens' stifled cries,
It breathes of widows' groans.
"You maidens, bear no captive babes!
You mothers, rear them not!"
The fierce king nods. The lad is seiz'd
And hurried from the spot.
Unbidden then, among the men,
There comes a dauntless third
With speech of fire he tunes his lyre,
And bitter is his word:
"Our bravest died to slake your pride -
Proud Edward, hear my lays!
No Welsh bards live who e'er will give
Your name a song a praise.
"Our harps with dead men's memories weep.
Welsh bards to you will sing
One changeless verse - our blackest curse
To blast your soul, O king!"
"No more! Enough!" - cries out the king.
In rage his orders break:
"Seek through these vales all bards of Wales
And burn them at the stake!"
His men ride forth to south and north,
They ride to west and east.
Thus ends in grim Montgomery
The celebrated feast.
Edward the king, the English king
Spurs on his tawny steed;
Across the skies red flames arise
As if Wales burned indeed.
In martyrship, with song on lip,
Five hundred Welsh bards died;
Not one was mov'd to say he lov'd
The tyrant in his pride.
>>68532292
"'Ods blood! What songs this night resound
Upon our London streets?
The mayor shall feel my irate heel
If aught that sound repeats!
Each voice is hush'd; through silent lanes
To silent homes they creep.
"Now dies the hound that makes a sound;
The sick king cannot sleep."
"Ha! Bring me fife and drum and horn,
And let the trumpet blare!
In ceaseless hum their curses come -
I see their dead eyes glare..."
But high above all drum and fife
and trumpets' shrill debate,
Five hundred martyr'd voices chant
Their hymn of deathless hate.
One of the poems one as to learn in school. (In Hungarian of course)
>>68532143
Good and blood dont rhyme
Why is Wales so important to England? I've always felt that the English try to keep the Welsh as close as possible, even going as far as calling them English?
Why?
>>68532344
It's always difficult to translate poems.
>>68531858
Bretons refer to the Britons that ran to france retard
I know that they have blowholes on the tops of their heads with whats they breathes withs. Also they are mammals. Ands theys haves a reallys cools noise of ecolocation.
>>68532385
Romans wanted it because it had large deposits of Gold, Silver, Lead and Copper. Not sure about later periods though
>>68532411
hey magyar, do you recognize this song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHfj46eJmOU
>>68532555
Can't say I can, no. What is it?
>>68531386
>england can only win against british teams
Didn't Wales vote to stay part of Briton a year or so back?
>>68532797
it's a song we (icelanders) sing before and after every game now
then somebody told us today that the song is hungarian and it would be weird for them to hear us sing it against them on sat
original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRI_5U-ozJ0
was just checking if it was recognized by the common hungarian
They're our brothers.
>>68531386

Oh it's Imre Kálmán, interdasting. I only rarely listen to operettas and I can't remember that one. Although I do remember reading about this a year or two ago.
I'm gonna send the vid to an older relative of mine who is into classical, operetta and opera music see if she recognizes it.
I've heard the nature and especially the coast is beautiful and that it's pretty sparsely populated. I've also heard the people are rather friendly and that there isn't a lot of political drama and secterianism there.
I also suspect they do not have a lot of immigrants.
Seems like a fine country.

Cardiff is fucked though lads. Full of all sorts these days.
>>68532344
Yes they do?
>>68533207
I don't think there is a capital in the world that isn't fucked these days though desu.
Maybe Tórshavn or something, I imagine Reykjavik is fucked already as well.

Nobody gives a shit about Wales. All they care about is Bale and that's it.
WE'RE ENGLAND AND WALES
WE'RE ENGLAND AND WALES
FUCK OFF RUSSIA
WE'RE ENGLAND AND WALES
>>68533207
Cardiff is still pretty comfy I reckon.
Great nightlife
>>68533381
I'm Welsh and I agree with this.
Without Bale we would have a Norn Iron tier NT.
It's an amazing country to ride your motorcycle through
I imagine that the Welsh are elves and that Wales is basically full of magical creatures
>>68532344
Yes they do. It's flood and flood that don't.
>>68533374
friggin' hell
Of course we know about Wales, not every single foreigner from a non-commonwealth nation is that dumb.
>>68533633
Very large percentage of the population of your country is retarded level dumb though tbhqhwym

The Venn diagram for football and operetta fans probably don't overlap a great deal
>>68532907
>>68533149
After some leading (doesn't this sound familar? etc) she did recognize it.
>>68533740
I only watch international tournaments and the CL knockouts, usually.
In any case, i guess we can safely assume that only a handful of Hungarian fans will recognize it. (nvm sing along at the next match that would be too beautiful for football fans, they'll probably boo and whistle or something).
>>68531386
Rob Brydon.
That's it.
>>68531858
actually it can refer to brythonic speaking peoples pre the formation of great britain.
Also the term Breton is still used but for the inhabitants of Brittany/Bretagne who are decendants of cornish migrants
>>68531386
Why did the welsh players try to make England win in the 2nd half?
Is that a Great Britain thing?
