World Cup

[ninian opinion]

0-0 at halftime.
Page said before ko that he'll make changes at halftime regardless of the score Should be interesting

Didn’t know they’d kicked off
That’s a second/third string X1 so Page isn’t taking any chances

What a goal by Jonniesta....

Our second string are more than holding their own...

Bravo boys.

Very tidy finish by them TBF.

Even a draw should be seen as a decent result if they hold on.

Can't say how strong a Polish side it is but there's definitely a few recognisable names in their starting lineup...

Losing now but still a great performance. Long time since we've been able to get a second string so well organised.

 

[ninian opinion]

Harsh - gave it a right go though

 

[BrizzleBluebird]

I need to learn to shut up when we are ahead!!

Decent performance though..

 

[remote]

33 mins gone, Ukraine 1-0 up.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

2.0 to Ukriane. Scotland struggling.

I'm sure Page will be watching to understand Ukraine's tactics which have dumbfounded the Jocks.

If it stays like this Cardiff will be a lot calmer on Sunday. Not a bad thing.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

1 back for the other JB's. Tense last 10 minutes coming up.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

1.3 final score.

Wales will need to take Ukraine very seriously.

Bring it on

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Bring it on

Going to be one hell of a night. Very emotional on all counts.

Hopefully we will be the most hated national team in the world after 90 minutes.

All will be forgotten come November when our underdog status will return.

 

[Barry Tiger]

Who from on here will be there Sunday? Me and BT for starters.

Unless he sells my ticket......

Just got $100 for it online from someone called Viktor - hope that's not a bad omen

 

[Oldsparkey]

Was that Ukraine's best keeper?

He looked a liabilty to me.

He could win it for Wales.

I didn't get an MBE

Not on. How can Her Maj possibly have over looked you for services to football chat forums?

She needs to get her act together.

I'm getting edgy already. Massive, massive game ahead. I was alive last time we qualified but was jus 6 when we went to Sweden so have no memories other than my dad banging on about a 17 year old Brazilian number 10.

Now don’t get me getting on WC nostalgia.
Oh ok then.....my first memories were the magnificent 1970’s tournaments - particularly 1970 which was just magical to a 9 year old.

From Jeff Astle’s miss to Bonetti’s fumbling to Luigi Riva, Gerd Muller, a young Cubillas & the sizzling Brazilian team as well as the kipper ties, paisley shirts & wide lapels of Malcolm Allison in the ITV studio.

I can’t recall much of the last WC’s if truth be told

Share your feelings about 1970. That tournament was magical for all age groups. The beautiful game at its beautiful best.
