World Cup

So tense.

Sat in a West Ham pub watching it.... whilst wearing a City polo shirt.

Nerves all round for all sorts of reasons

Wales having the rub of the green as it goes....

Ukraine looking the better side.
Henesey having a big game.

We're putting pressure on ourselves by losing the ball in midfield.

Page needs to calm Dan James down. Must keep 11 on the pitch.

You guys are about to experience something uniquely English - your national team playing in a game where the rest of the world (possibly with the exception of Russia) will be supporting the opposition!!!

I've been reliably informed that Patagonia are firmly behind Wales today

Ben Davies overtaking Henesey as MotM.
Need to clog up the midfield.

Ive only been waiting 58 years, and for about the first 10 I didnt realise I was waiting.

Don't want to get caught doing that out there.

So, for most of this morning I have been reading reports, watching videos and pinching myself to convince myself that it really happened.
I think it's also worth mentioning how effective the fans were. Also how players, officials, fans and all concerned conducted themselves with respect and empathy.
Well done Wales on so many levels

Have to say that surely now is the time to thank Ryan Giggs for his services and wave him cheerio in favour of giving the job to Rob Page permanently?

Don't know where it stands in employment law, but I wholeheartedly agree that Page's achievements are recognised and that he gets the green light to carry on.

I have read somewhere that Giggs' contract finished when the World Cup qualifiers ended. If true, first part of job done assuming Giggs has no extension options.

Here's the contract answer from Page's side.

Regardless of what happens with Giggs' court appearance there is no job waiting for him.

Netherlands tomorrow in Cardiff.
Can't reasonably expect a full first string to be out for us. The Dutch are looking very impressive too so perhaps we'll have to suffer a rare reverse at CCS. If that is the case, it's important to keep things in perspective and not see the result as an omen.
I'm sure those selected will wear the shirt with pride and perhaps one or two will stake a claim for the adventure ahead.
C'mon Wales

So far another good showing from a vastly changed starting eleven.
