Good luck Chester

That's it really!

 

Sloppy ball in midfield lead to the move that got Andorra a penalty.

Andorra 1 - 0 Wales

 

Gareth Bale-Alice band...............WTF!

 

****ing andorra are all over wales

 

He's been in Spain for over a season - it was his destiny.

 

is that gravel rising up everytime the ball touches the pitch? or someone jumps

 

On the players to watch bit on the wales online site

"Gabriel Riera: By day he fits car stereos for a living, tonight he will be out to try and make the most of any half-chances the Andorrans might find coming their way.

Has got pedigree too – his one goal came against the Czech Republic in Liberec, all be it in an 8-1 defeat nine years ago. Still, there are still those Wales fans who remember Andy Selva and San Marino."

 

It's an artificial pitch and those are little bits of rubber to slow the ball down.

 

Just had a look where Andorra is! What is the point of being a tiny country on the Spanish/France border? Is it EU money?

 

its ruined the match

 

True, it's like playing on concrete.

 

they ****ing hate spain

 

I have no idea how UEFA have sanctioned it.

 

It's not in the EU - and it's a cracking place. Its tourism and tax laws make it a pretty wealthy little country.

The only problem is the mix of languages there - it's largely split between French and Spanish, but I once tried to order some food and drinks in (reasonable) French and got nowhere, so I tried in (pidgin) Spanish and she still didn't get it. Turns out they were all Catalan speakers in that restaurant. (And my Spanish must have been crap.)

 

It's a principality. Ironically, one of the Co-Princes of Andorra is the President of France, and the only person in the world to be head of state for both a republic and a monarchy.

 

1-1 with half an hour to go, and it's getting physical, as Olivia would say.

 

I hitch-hiked through it once. It was a smuggler's paradise - booze and cigs were incredibly cheap!

 

I thought Chester did well throughout, if he did miss a pass before the pen the goal wasn't his fault as it should never have been given, yet another bad referee following our players around

 

Age of Andorra, over 700.
Age of EU, barely 20.

I realise I've not given a unit there. So let's use ACs.

 

Chester should be a Black Cat - he's jinxed.
