Haha, are England the only team from GB?
Flipping heck, some of the entitled, partisan toxicity for Wales is a bit unfathomable.
Some of you were very eager to point out that the Rangers/Celtic partisan hatred wasn’t welcome on this forum, but it’s ok to hate the Welsh, the Scottish…the Irish are ok though, cos Big Jack managed them. 🙄

Wales are barely a whisper of the team that reached the Semis of Euro 2016, and won’t be much of a threat, so keep it on, lads.
Oh. I always thought it was a given that everyone disliked the Welsh. The north Welsh don't even like the south Welsh. 😂

One observation of the games in general, is that there have been a lot of very close calls for yellow/red challenges, and the refs seem to be giving players very little protection. That challenge down the back of Kane and numerous others have been really 'naughty' and if teams realise they can get away with kicking/taking out more skilful opponents, they will. Won't be surprised if an all out brawl breaks out as a result of one in the tournament.

Hope so!

There's got to be a psychological impact on the Argies, the audacity of Saudi to play that high a back line against such a strong attacking lineup. Argentina must have been expecting to spend 90 minutes picking holes around a crowded final third

Is there something to be said for Saudi Arabia fielding what is essentially the Al-Hilal club side? They will be playing together week in week out.

My grandad was Welsh, missus is Welsh, and i was in a Welsh regiment , so it's all light Hearted banter for me with Wales .

Have ALOT of Welsh friends
Otis: true, but that’s because of cultural arrogance. Wait…

Evo: Ti Siarad Cymraeg? 🤣

Hopefully, England Vs Wales will be a great spectacle. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I do have some Welsh relatives actually and on the whole, they are quite nice. My mum used to get upset though when he Welsh sister-in-law would ring her up to gloat about Wales beating England at rugby and my mum was such a lovely, gentle soul who was completely taken aback by the vitriol. She didn't even follow sports at all.

Any other time, the sister-in-law was really nice to her.

I did once work at a place that had 5 Welsh people working there (out of a taskforce of 500) and to a man, they were all vile. Really, really horrible, arrogant and spiteful.
🤷

Maybe it was just an awful coincidence they all ended up at the same place. 😂

My boss was Welsh and he was a horrible, horrible man. I actually ended up with depression and anxiety and was off sick for a year as a result.

It does taint your thinking doesn't it. We had loads of Geordies there and they were all lovely.

This is just daft isn't it?

Of course there was. England's game was at 1pm while kids were at school and parents were at work.

Just an excuse to type up "Wales beats England". 😂
