2022 FIFA World Cup (Part 1)

Harsh yellow

Never a free. Ref has the overs on cards

Bale blackguarded there.

Had a look at his stats there to see was he much of a goalscorer because he took that chance so well and had such natural pace. Was surprised to see how paltry his career goal tally is. Suppose he’s only 22 though so he may only be coming into his own now.

This tournament may have come a year or two too late for the Welsh. They were outclassed by the Danes in the round of 16 at the Euros.

Ream has Bale in his pocket

Adams and McKennie are trampling all over the Welsh midfield and Ream is mopping up everything behind that.

This is a 1-0 walloping. Wales are hapless.

The US look like potential quarter-finalists at least based on this. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them beat the Dutch and they’ll test England.

Playing a much better style than previous US teams who were big and physical and organised.

and constipated.

This US team are fluid

They can play alright and they’ve got loads of pace and athleticism in the side. Robinson and Dest are very fast.

I’d say tis pure blood boiling stuff sitting near yanks at a ‘soccer match’ where they’re 1 nil to the good. Like trying to pull back a lead in Cusack Park I’d imagine.

Wales are stone useless

Hartson is an awful co-commentor, you’d miss Ally McCoist.

Welsh at odds and ends as ya’s all said already. Bale’s age catching up with him with Wales all of a sudden?

Bale doesnt seem willing to press up at all. Maybe his legs are genuinely gone. Ramsey hasnt had any influence either. Outside of that they’re very ordinary. Wilson and Dan James…

Very impressive from the US. Very well set-up.

Hard to see how Bale’s legs have gone. He is only 33 and has barely played in a good few years. He’s just a lazy sod

They’re worn out from the golf.

I was being kind. He is just being lazy out there.

He hasn’t tried to keep himself in shape, he is probably physically unable to do the running he needs to because he hasn’t done the prep work.

Exactly. Its not as if he has been playing 40 or 50 games a season over last number of years either. Just lazy and Wales have no platform in the game. Cant really get out of their half.
