    upload_2019-6-8_9-44-20.png Proper football returns today.

    If we can get something out of this match I will be extremely happy.

    Croatia haven’t started this tournament as well as they would have expected - especially after reaching the World Cup Final, so I don’t see why we can’t get a result there.

    Any team that has Gareth Bale and Dan James on the pitch should create a lot of chances - assuming we can get the ball off Croatia long enough.

    COME ON WALES !

    Can't wait for this match, but very anxious to. I really know we can cause them huge problems, it's wether we live up to it. We need Bale just to perform better than in recent Wales games & keep his cool on the ball. Also realise now he doesn't have to do everything. He's got so much talent supporting him, he just needs to play the simple balls & let the kids do the rest..

    Rakitic & Rebic are missing, that's got to be a bonus...

    C'mon Wales....

    Well done that man , nothing much of that going on around here which is shameful really considering the amount of Welsh men who formed part of the invasion and fought in subsequent battles later

    Much better since Brooks & Ampadu on. Wise up Bale...

    Well beaten really, despite a few decent chances. Croatia pressed well for long periods, despite the heat.

    I thought our tactic first half must have been to sit deep and pass backwards at every opportunity until the whole Croatian team was camped on the edge of our penalty area, including their keeper, and then lump it up into the empty net.

    James going off is a mystifying sub (didn't I say that in the last game as well?). Bale must still do more.

    Was not expecting anything from this game, shame about the own goal, that's the last thing you want away from home against the likes of Croatia, Bale is not doing it for me either, he really needs to step up.............<ok>

    A disappointing game, we only started playing after the subs were made. Croatia were struggling last ten mins and we nearly sneaked an equaliser. We had chances and didn't take them - you can't do that in International matches and expect to win. Next up Hungary, we definitely need something from this one.
