Match Day Thread Wales - World Cup Campaign

Bale really disappointed me all game against the USA, and feel he is coasting and could be much better, seems his desire is no longer there, you would think that being on the biggest stage in the world of football would get his blood flowing, but no, not a chance, it's clear to me that his dedication and desire has gone and while I thought that he might push himself to make his mark and go out in a blaze of glory, no nothing doing, to say that he has disappointed is an understatement, maybe he plays golf better now, you only need to walk well in that game! It had to be said.....

 

Apart from the pen I agree, he needs to switch on early and take a grip of the team next turn !

 

God Brazil look good when they get going!..........

 

Well that didn't last long

 

Bobby Brown shoes better avoid the car park …

 

I turned on with a few minutes left and did a double take at the scoreline... and then Morocco scored again

 

Meanwhile in Scotland

Full of it ain't they ! Can't wait for them to fall when they play a big team unless they keep getting easy games all the way to the semis then get tuned !

 

Brilliant

 

Good shout, Taff. 1 point, 1 goal

 

I would refer you to my response on the Wales v England thread - could be worse, I could have said Qatar

 

Or Wales

 

Come on Argies, stuff those dirty, cheating, diving *#!*!

 

Anyone else notice how tetchy and defensive Page is getting in interviews?

 

Well, if you don’t select your squad and teams ‘on form’, then he has to accept and expect questions…

 

Seems like Page is making changes to deflect / offload criticism? A but like Pivac did with Byron Hayward when questions started to be asked about his own ability and credentials?

“KIT SYMONS has been dumped as Wales assistant manager for the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

The ex-Fulham boss, 51, received the news in a telephone call from manager Robert Page this week where he was told his contract would not be renewed.

Page had said in September before the winter finals that both Symons and fellow assistant Alan Knill would remain alongside him when he signed his new four-year deal but a U-turn has been performed.

Page plans to bring in a new coach alongside Knill before the Euro opener against Croatia in Split on March 25.”

 

Page is an average manager and unless the new person brought in actually does his job for him then nothing will change.

 

Bale has retired from all football with immediate effect
