England VS Wales thread

[Strike]

I will start a thread for this match.

I am hoping we get a win, and no stick from The Laughing Bluebird.

Should hopefully be a comfortable England win, now that Sven claims to be dropping his defensive style and going 4-3-3. Wales have injury problems.

England 3 - 0 Wales

 

[Strike]

YES 1-0 England come on.

Well done Lampard, after seeing him miss so many easy chances for Chelsea this season, it's great to see that this hasn't effected his England form.

Half time 1-0.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

The Man U contigent are annoying me - I haven't seen a tackle worthy of the name between Beckham, Neville and Giggs. I know they are best mates but they are also supposed to be professionals. If they can't face tackling their mates then they shouldn't be playing IMHO.

 

[Albion Rob]

The forwards seem to be using up each others space. We've had about seven spells of really good possesion around their box but there is no space to nick the ball through.

Having said that the Taffs are defending in numbers and they have been restricted to a long range header.

Scotland aren't losing yet.

I don't know if you lot are getting the same commentator we are but I think he's getting a bit carried away. England have had a lot of possession but it's hard to remember too many saves the Welsh goalie has had to make, and I believe it is just the one corner so far. Might have been better to get a neutral commentator. I would like to have a Scotsman giving his opinions.

We have John Motson on BBC1

 

[Juan Albion]

Hmmm, it's not Motty, that's for sure. He would have been okay. Are Sky showing it as well because I think it is their guy?

Couple of moments annoyed me. At one point a Welsh attack broke down (as usual) and it was "and England attack again." Well not quite, it was about 20 seconds after that that the ball even left the England half. Then there was the comment about the Euro ref who disallowed the England goal who became a despised figure "in the UK". England maybe, but probably not in Wales or Scotland.

Sky aren't showing the match live, just the highlights later.

Ah, I guess we are getting their live feed.

Actually, according to my TV guide I am watching "Horse Diaries."

Scotland aren't losing yet.

They are now.

The England/Wales game is shit. I'm bored with it

Alan Green prattling on about the national anthem being booed. SHUT IT YOU PRAT!
