    upload_2023-6-16_18-14-23.png Wales v Armenia upload_2023-6-16_18-14-23.png


    Competition - UEFA European Championship
    Stage - Qualification Round
    Group - D
    Venue - Cardiff City Stadium
    Date - Friday, 16 June 2023
    Kick off - 19:45
    Qualification round · Group D

    Almost 3 months on from their 1-0 victory over Latvia, next up for Rob Page’s Wales team is a home match against Armenia - if Wales harbour hopes of qualifying, this surely is a ‘must win’ game.

    Wales are second in Group D on goal difference after a creditable draw in Croatia and home win over Latvia.

    With leaders Croatia in Nations League action this week, Wales have two chances to usurp them with a trip to Turkey on Monday to come after Armenia.

    I’m going 2-1 to Wales <cheers>

    Just spotted on LinkedIn - it’s good to see that Swans’ back of shirt sponsor will be advertising at tonight’s game:

    That was to easy. Need to tighten up. We go a goal up and then just go backwards.

    Typical wales 1 up and comfortable and then go to deep and forget to defend in our box.

    That last goal was a shocker from a defensive point of view, totally unmarked with free header on goal, schoolboy stuff at it's best, then there is the commentary from Dean Saunders! God think I'll go back to S4C......<laugh>

    Personally I think Robert Page is way out of his depth and I think it shows

    100% agree - with the money that’s gone into the FAW coffers over the last few years, they could have gone out and secured a decent international coach.

    Personally I would get rid now, the World Cup proves he is inept when it comes to tactics or changing them, this further confirms it. Like the swans faw have gone for the cheap option and it won’t work. We have a good squad with the right manager.

    They are ranked 97 in the world. It is as poor as it can get

    Well I missed the game and just as well <yikes>

    Like was said, Page was obviously out of his depth in the World Cup and he isn't going to suddenly improve, so we're stuffed.

    Edit: Can you believe that glorious 2016 Euros was seven years ago now!
