England Vs Wales

[PEARCEY]

Very disappointed Wales are losing this.

[PEARCEY]

Think HRK probably should have started over Ledley. Bit more pace on the opposite flank to Bale, more counter attacking options. Not saying he's better, just perhaps more suited to producing something tonight.

I agree Ian. Ledley's half-arsed performance has cost Wales.

Crowd had enough and going home to beat the rush.

MOTM : aaron ramsey!

Which ever camera angle you look at, that is an awful miss by Earnshaw who I normally rate.

[Avon Royal]

One of the worst games of football I've seen in a long while.

Wales have played well, but England should be putting away teams like that with ease.

[Ian Royal]

Bit harsh Pearcey... he's just not been quick enough to get up and down, that's all. And Wales have missed a few chances to spread the ball to the wings quickly. I'd be more peeved with Bale for not being a team player or for Earnshaw missing a sitter.

TBF to England, they obviously decided one goal was enough and they didn't really need to try very hard. Barely got out of first gear. You have to worry though, if Wales can dominate possession and dictate the game, how the hell are England going to have a snow ball's chance against the likes of Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Argetina etc.

Earnshaw has one of the most punchable faces in the history of humanity.

You say that but France drew with Romania and Italy have only beaten Slovenia in last five mins.

Don't agree. Wales have under-performed primarily because all their best players have been injured. With Bale and Ramsey fit and Bellamy around....they have some quality. Neil Taylor is also coming through as an excellent young defender.

Now off to the cricket.

Key word was "humanity", something that arguably precludes Mr Terry.

That's as maybe.

England should be putting away teams like the Welsh one tonight with ease.

[Ian Royal]

Is it just me that thinks Bale looks like a Chimp?

Chimp


Gareth Bale

ah well, if we win against Bulgaria and Switzerland to finish 3rd i'd be more than happy considering the group.

Again I don't agree. England are not that good and Wales are not that bad.

[Ian Royal]

England should still be putting Wales away with ease, even if England were ranked 12th and Wales 60th, which would be more reflective of their actual comparative quality.

Agreed for once.

Wales have 3 or so good players but are pretty dire for the most part.

[Hoop Blah]

It's quite important for Wales to keep up some form and do as well as they can to make future groups a bit easier for them. Not sure how quickly a few wins can help them in that sense, but long term it's something to keep in mind.

Wales' world cup group is very hard.
