[editor]

Wales were pretty decent, no?

I thought it was a strong performance. Who knows we might just surprise a few people!

 

[Gromit]

ITs kicking off!

My favourite bit was little Harry squaring up against all these big Turks then heading over to the official to give him a piece too.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Really good result and performance. Lovely stuff.

 

[editor]

I like the way that everyone joins in for the post match hug and they go straight to the fans.

 

[Hollis]

[Bus Honeygun]

Well done Wales. Proper excitement.

Personally very proud of the two Devon bhuys out there.

 

[Badgers]

Confess I am slightly more relieved about that result than England. Great effort and some excellent individual performances. Wales are through barring a shock :

 

[Plumdaff]

I like the way that everyone joins in for the post match hug and they go straight to the fans.

I love that they turn to the fans to sing the anthem. Together Stronger.

 

[Voley]

Game of the tournament so far. Fucking brilliant. Last quarter of an hour was tense af then Bale atones for the pen miss with an injury-time winner. Ace game. Loved it. Come on Wales!

For anyone interested in the story of Welsh football there’s a very good documentary series on BBC iplayer that’s well worth a watch.

Australia 2 -Turkey 0.

Australia 2 -Turkey 0.

Hilarious.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Those two goals are looking more and more important

 

[RedRedRose]

Italy will want to rest some players; Turkey will want to salvage some dignity. It could all play in Wales’s favour.

 

[donkyboy]

laughable the number of times I heard pundits talking about Turkey being the 'dark horse' of the tournament before it began. Dark horse my arse. More like Eeyore
