    I am just not into international football and really don't care whether we win any games or not. Some like it I guess and others are not so bothered. I used to like it when we had a L2 side and it was the only chance to watch good players. But we see these players every week.

    Honestly I am not that bothered whether we progress or not, yes if we do great if we don't then I aint going to lose any sleep over it. I do believe most Wales fans are over hyping us we crept over the line in the end and probably played well twice in the qualifying rounds. But n all fairness we did qualify.

    I will probably go out and have a few beers and watch the England game and hope we knock them out if only to shut the biased English media up.

    I'll follow it but I won't watch much . The best day for me during Euro will be June 15 ....The Swan fixture list will be out and can see how the start looks and such .

    Depends how you feel I think. Nobody can make you a fan. One of my mates never watches Wales - he's just not interested.

    I've gone to Wales games and watch them fail miserably over years. The one game I remember that I actually enjoyed (there may have been a couple more I can't remember) was the 1-0 v Germany when Rushie scored.

    It's a patriotic thing for me because I like to see my country do well in any sport. I did the same when I lived in Australia - I remember going to watch the Socceroos play Argentina in a World Cup qualifier many years ago at the Sydney Football Stadium. Great stuff - the atmosphere was brilliant.

    I agree with TLF in one way though. Yes, we did well to qualify but we had some very lucky results and I don't think we were that great. Without Bale where would be be? I will be watching all the games and willing them on but we'll do well to get out of the group imo.

    Well I personally am so excited by the Euros.
    I love international football, and for the first time in my life I get to cheer on Wales in a tournament. I'm not an England hater - I prefer it that they are in there, it's not the same without them.
    I also felt that we crawled over the line in the end, but we still made it and I still can't believe it.
    If we get out of the group I'll be ecstatic. We need to win against Slovakia to any real chance of that though I feel. 4 points could be enough - a win and a draw.
    Am going to get a new Welsh top in the next week - out of the money I won't be spending on the new Joma effort.
    I CAN'T WAIT.
    COME ON WALES !!!

    I hope you enjoy and I am sure you will.

    Do you think Wales will get out of the group? I suppose there is a chance the third team can get out, so you have a chance of seeing them in is it the last 16.

    Wales could be the " Greece of Euro 2016 " ..Be hard to find one person thinking Greece would win Euro .
    Wales might be a dark horse , but

    I was never interested in wales when we were playing players from Non league and our better players cried off as they did not want to play.....Tosh (i cant stand the man ) lost 18 players over two seasons with most that could not be bothered and a few that called it a day with wales and retired far too early....It was not worth supporting wales then........But today is different we have players now that take pride in playing for wales and their efforts on the pitch has shown that with good leadership and determination we can give anyone a game and that has rejuvenated my interest in Wales and i was so chuffed when we qualified for the Euros...We have a marvelous chance of getting out of the group stage as anyone so im really looking forward to the start of the competition we are actually a part of for once.....

    You can see already that the BBC.ITV and the media are calling it the England Euro show. you would never know Wales and the irish were playing in the Tournament....they are even harping back to 1966 FFS when they could be given air time to the rest of us.......I would love to knock England out i really would to see what they do then........They probably spent more time on why England are out than supporting the other British teams......

    Did you really expect anything else, England are going to win it, if you listen to the media and then they will say how rubbish they were when they fail again.

    Apart from the patriotic emotions involved, the best thing about international football is that it has nothing to do with wealthy foreign owners.

    Try Toshack.....the players hated him and did not want to play for him.........Just look at the difference when Speedo (god rest his soul) took over the players would work their balls off for him and they are doing the same with Coleman......I could not support Toshack in anyway shape or form and by the attendance neither could anyone else......When sparky was boss 74,000 would turn up and we were garbage.......We have the support in Wales alright its a shame we had tosh.....
