    Great to see her nodding along to Roy Keane like she knows a single ****ing thing he's talking about.

    Only thing Wales can do is bang Kieffer Moore up top. Get Dan James playing off his flick ons with Bale and Ramsey trying to pick up any knock downs. It's a Crazy Gang tactic but I genuinely think that's all they've got this tournament.

    Hope Keane calls Wales awful after if they lose, because they look no better than Iran currently

    Nope not this time.

    Take a step back. Imagine you were looking at it objectively, let's say you supported Latvia so you had no skin in the game. Who would you say has the most balanced, most quality side in the tournament? Obviously England. Then look at the next best. Nowhere near.

    We've scored more goals today than Wales have in their entire world cup finals history.

    Levels innit

    England don’t win World Cups mate, I’ve been suffering since 1970 so I know the drill (I was 5 years old in 1966, no memories of that unfortunately)

    I rate this squad higher than anything in the so-called golden generation or the 1990 squad. It's a proper team, not relying on a handful to get us through, it's full of technically good players. Good depth in the squad too.

    Honest question. But is Bale absolutely past it. He’s not even involved in this game.

    2 years ago he was a world elite?

    **** knows why he ain’t starting, especially when Dan James is.

    What this game needs is Robert Earnshaw.

    He’ll stay on on the off chance he can pull off something ridiculous but you don’t go two years barely playing competitive football and tear up a decent side like the US of A.

    Bellamy wouldn’t put up with this ****. Would have sorted someone out with a pitching wedge and galvanised the team.

    For the first time in 25 years I'm moving away from the usual apathy and genuinely believe we have the quality. Nothing to do with today's result. I feel this tournament is going to be ours.

    I'll add being played in a country not known for its football helps. If it was in Germany or Italy or Spain or France the pressure would probably tell. Here though, it's anyone's.
