[Mr Do 71]

We’re gonna win the World Cup!!

[layten]

Is it coming home yet?

[Naysonymous]

By the sounds of things my decision to watch the Bedworth Brass band murder a bunch of Beatles and Stones songs in the local park was vindicated.   At least we had little Union Jacks and Iced Cream there. 

[Fry Crayola]

Ewww. Football would have to be pretty bad for me to favour that. 

[Matt Defis]

Not a big football fan but I'm looking forward to this. 

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

Baaaaaaaaale!

[footle]

Got to feel for the defender.

[feltmonkey]

Yes Wales!  

[gossi the dog]

Wales needed that

[feltmonkey]

The ref needs to get a grip on Ukraine's repeated fouls to stop Wales breaking.  The one he gave the wrong way when Dan James was running onto a ball on the wing was infuriating.

[squirtle]

Up the Mariners! Back in the football league!

[Matt Defis]

Only half a job done but hopeful.

As a local I was hoping Solihull would make it. Just didn’t create enough to deserve anything. 

[feltmonkey]

Why do all refs hate Dan James? Every team kicks him as soon as he gets the ball because they know they'll never catch him once he gets running, but he doesn't get half the free-kicks he should do.

 

 

[Matt Defis]

Wales looking far to passive.

Kinda ditto, but I get the impression that the Moors are a bunch of bluenoses so I can’t bring myself to love them. 

[feltmonkey]

This is agonising. I wish Ramsey had put that chance away.  I'm hoping for a Brennan Johnson breakaway goal to make these last 20 minutes easier to watch.

[feltmonkey]

Aaaarggh! Off the post!

 

And Bale!

 

I can't take this.

[feltmonkey]

Unbelievable save!

Three wins in extra time to get back to the EFL. Kind of amazing.

[Stopharage]

Never really rated Hennessey from watching a lot of Palace, as he always seemed to have an error in him but he has been terrific today.

I doubt that 'concussion' farce a couple of years back helped his fair play reputation. 

[feltmonkey]

Flipping heck some of the defending from Wales has been incredible.

[Mr Do 71]

Wales. 

[feltmonkey]

[Matt Defis]

YESSSSS!

[Angles Morts]

Gutted for Ukraine, if any country needed the international visibility of being in a World Cup it was them. Not that Wales should have tried to lose.

[Naysonymous]

Prince Charles’ boys did it! 

[Stopharage]

Made up for Wales, Page and Bales especially. Gutted for Zinchenko, who has been a superb role model throughout the season. 

 

6 of the Ukraine starting XI against Scotland hadn't played a competitive game in 2022. Real credit to their nation.

Ben Davies was amazing. So many blocks.
