    Where's that Goon Twitter account pretending to not be a Goon Twitter account claiming that any club would obviously prefer Saka over Kulusevski?

    I think that is what is known as stinking the place out. Whatever, that’s 90 minutes of my life I won’t get back.

    Not for me (as I didn't bother) .
    Just a cursory read of the BBC match page ...

    and it seems that the chosen MF was incapable of
    providing the service/attack necessary at international level.

    So the "learning exercise" for Southgate was a success at least.

    That was like watching a Nuno Spurs team , Kane dropping deeper and deeper to play in Harry Kane , no midfield, defence a shambles
    All in all a disaster

    A match that should have been played behind closed doors but Hungary took advantage of a ridiculous getout clause and filled it (allegedly) with 30k kids and accompanying adult.
    So the options are ...
    1. The kids are racists
    2. The adults are racists
    3. Both are.

    Either way, Hungary should (but won't) now face a total ban. Not just a ground closure.

    That would improve Orbans mood no end....<laugh>

    Anyone else hoping for a Bale 90th minute screamer to win the game and for him to celebrate by lifting his Wales shirt up, showing a Spurs one underneath with “Bale 2024” on it?

    Well I can half credit him with a potential winner (via Yarmolenko)… just a tad early though.

    Wales getting the benefit of a ridiculous VAR decision and then missing a great chance to go 2 up.... Will that come back and bite?

    Ben having a really great game, Rodders settled after a dodgy start - and Daniel James once again proving me right that he's vastly overrated.

    Both he and Bale have been poor so far. Wales need those two to step up or Wales will lose this.

    Ben Davies as an outright defender is bloody superb.

    Ramsey has always been a reputation pick for Wales, as he routinely seems to be playing in a completely different match to his teammates

    Spent a while trying to do a "Hawkeye" on the free kick.
    Best clip I got was from behind the goal, and it looks
    like the ball would have reached a Wales player without
    any intervention.

    He's a sneaky bugger, too, as every time he collides with a Ukraine player he always manages to leave an elbow in

    Obviously learned that one at Man Utd...
