Didn't know about this. Dunno why but I'm pleased for them. Great result.

Belgium seem a bit underwhelming results wise considering their talent available. It's a bit like Man City in Europe. As if their lack of historical pedigree somehow holds them back.
 
Wales were good, Begium were all over them for the first fifteen minutes, but they held on and it was great defensive performance(even if their goal came from a howler).
 
In the past Wales have only had one player at a time of any note, and not some one who could score or turn a game on its head with the ease Bale does.

Now, they've got Bale, Ramsey and Chester. Rest of the team ain't too shabby too. I can see them qualifying then doing better than England. Good luck to them too.

Scotland can **** off still mind.
 
Drivel and tosh ^^^^ this

Steve Bruce wants to keep James Chester AND James has already said he wants to stay, he's not going anywhere. Even his dad wants him to stay here.
Since when has a relegated player's comments on where they will be the next season ever amounted to anything ?

A little harsh as I can recall Wales having a side with John Charles and Roy Paul (2 of their finest ever world class players) plus Trevor Ford,a prolific goalscoring centre forward and the most expensive player in the British game who played for Sunderland's 'Bank of England' team. Add Alf Sherwood, Ron Burgess and Walley Barnes and they had a fair side.

They beat Belgium 5-1 in a home match( friendly).

Yeah ok fair point although you obviously have a better and longer memory than me :p

This is the first time I can remember them being capable of doing well in a competition!
