keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 29, 2022 Plenty of BS about Wales from the commentators. 1 goal, a penalty. 1 point. Bottom of the group. Nothing to be proud of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kept the ball well, dictated the tempo of the game Didn't concede a single clear chance. Scored 3 good goals. Kept a clean sheet. Rested a lot of players and gave minutes to fringe players. Still dominated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always funny reading this match thread towards the end to see a huge endless list of awful takes 😅 135 minutes of utter crap followed by a very good second half performance. Anything close to the 135 minutes of turgid crap against Senegal will see us leaving the tournament. Your takes have been consistently wrong in regards to Smith and our performances this season. There appears to be a trend here… Edited November 29, 2022 by Virtual reality 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Felt like we could have scored 4 or 5 quite easily, Wales never looked like getting anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,806 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Comfortable win for England who did what was expected against a Wales side that didn't have the depth to compete properly. Senegal will be a stiffer test than any of the group opposition (but should still be eminently beatable as they are without their chief attacking threat) if the England side is as good as many say. Third goal was definitely a goalie error. First goal wasn't exactly in the corner, but Ward bought the bait, took two steps right, and the ball went left.

There appears to be a trend here… You've been pretty much consistently wrong with every take you've ever dared comment on this forum so probably not the best person to start shouting now 😅 Also the game was 90 minutes. The 135 minutes you ran on about are completely irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
