Bale says no English players would make Wales team

 

In London right now, doing a Stamford Bridge stadium tour in 20 minutes before hitting the pubs for today's triple header. Absolutely buzzing for this match.

 

If the English were eligible, there'd be hardly any Welsh on team Wales.

 

Well, taken out of context, it makes him look stupid. In context, he just says that he doesn't care about that. He doesn't think about replacing his guys and that's all.

 

We got this. 3-1 England.

 

Did I hear right that England has only ever won ONE game in the knockout stages of the Euros?

 

Sterling starting again...

 

They have only had five knockout games so far. One straight loss (0-1 vs Yugoslavia in 1968), three losses on penalties (vs Germany in 1996, vs Portugal in 2004, vs Italy in 2012), one win (on penalties, vs Spain in 1996).

Keep in mind that prior to 1996 only eight teams made the final stage of the Euros and prior to 1980 only four. The knockout stage was reserved for the top 4 teams up until 96 and England only made that cut in 1968.

 

1-1. No pressure on Wales and they have the best player.

 

That makes more sense. For some reason I kept thinking that they have only won 1 game in the group stages.

I think England wins, 2-1.

 

I'd expect Bale to have a good game, probably going to see a couple yellows from the England backline harassing him.

 

Imagine the seethe if Wales win this

 

Is it just me or does the camera angle seem especially low for this game?

 

Ugh, just was told that using my iPad for sports was against company policy.

 

Sterling does it again

 

Hodgson is a moron. Sterling should be out and Vardy in.

 

Sterling is useless in important situations.

Vardy and Sturridge are much more composed then him.

 

This is boring

 

Sterling is awful

 

That should be a pen

 

Hit the hand, but that's not a handball.

 

Shut up Savage, christ.

 

Carbon copy of the Russia game

 

Haha!!!
