Croatia vs Wales

First topic message reminder :


Anyone feeling like they want to watch the game now after the Scotland match?

I pretty much avoided the game due to our shocking form and my major disappointment with Coleman's performance so far (and his inability to live up to Speed's tenure - very difficult to do to be fair)


However, I think I'm going to give international football another go tonight - see what happens.

BBC sport had it up as 1-0 Wales

Williams is so overrated.

England game rained off... should've played at the new Wembley stadium which was specifically designed to take a shower... or the England team as they are also known

All things considered I'm fairly happy with that first half. Croatia's home record is incredible. They were always going to dominate possession against us but, Williams trademark howler aside, we have defended well, worked hard to close down, and tried to play football when we have had the ball.
I can see us getting into the game a bit more second half and maybe getting a chance or two.

I would be happy with a point to be fair against an solid team

Dead in the water

Vokes is like a lumbering camel. Why not Craig Davies?

Davies needs a chance. He's scoring for fun and our other strikers can't get in their club first teams

Didn't see the game. What was the performance like (barring Williams clanger)? Cause for optimism at all?

No! Wales hopelessly outclassed...........nice kit though

Well, that's something we can ALL appreciate! Which kit was it? The green and white halves number? If so, we should merge this with the Fashion Tips thread.

My recent favourite was the John Charles tribute kit

Bale, Giggs, Best.............they must wake (have woken) up some mornings and wished they had been born elsewhere..........George Weah also.......

Green & white halves, green shorts, white socks......

Must've looked like 11 headless leeks running around a field

It was men against boys, a bit embarassing really. If the Croatians had brought their shooting boots it would have been Serbia all over again.

I'm not a big fan of Coleman, he sounds like he's a bit of a idiot. He puts a y on the end of all his players names, like we used to do when we were in the 3rd form, but to be honest I don't think we've got anyone else.

Its all a bit depressing..
