Wales v Belgium

[Yankee_Jack]

Here's the squad:

Hennessey, Ward, A Davies, King.

Gunter, B Davies, C Roberts, Ampadu, Mepham, Lockyer, Rodon, J Lawrence, N Williams, Norrington-Davies, Cabango.


Ramsey, Allen, J Williams, Smith, Morrell, Levitt, Johnson, Sheehan.

Bale, Robson-Kanu, Wilson, T Lawrence, Moore, James, T Roberts, Matondo.


Lockyear, Ben Davies and Ramsey have since pulled out with injuries.

It's curious ....

• Cabango is a senior international but Andy Pandy hasn't started him in a while!?!
• Rodon is no longer even on the bench at Spurs!?!
• Josh Sheehan ... our "reject" is now a senior international!?!
• Robson-Kanu sticks around
• James has had a run of starts for United lately

Bale has been in terrific form with Spurs. He should be a spark of inspiration.

Rodon is no longer even on the bench at Spurs!?!

Rodon played 90 minutes for Spurs two days ago. His rating was 7.4 on Whoscored, which is pretty good.

Aston Villa 0:2 Spurs

James has had a run of starts for United lately

Seems he had a stinker against Milan. Lost the ball 14 times and provoked much criticism online from United supporters who reckoned the club should get rid as he's 'little better than a pub Sunday league player'. Bit harsh to say the least but there was a LOT of people saying this and similar.

As for Bale he blows hot and cold and wasn't even used off the bench against Villa. Hope they both do better against Belgium or we'll get a hammering.

@CroJack ... I've been trying to follow Spurs matches. I missed the line-up against Villa, but that would be the first time I think he's been selected in a while

[Jackflash]

Brilliant move, one touch football at it's very best.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Didn’t last long

Mepham had a shocker , Gave away a needless penalty and gave the ball away for their first goal , Roberts slip for the second goal was unfortunate. Wales harried well but created little , Belgium were efficient but unimaginative, Lukaku kicking over from 2 ft summed up the match.

We showed them far too much respect. When we manned up and got in their faces the game was far more even. Interesting to note that they committed FOUR times as many fouls as we did -12-3. Had we done the same (outside the area that is, Mepham) their players wouldn't have been quite so keen to get on the ball. Football is a physical contact sport and only THREE fouls in an entire game tells me that we have some snowflakes in our team and there's no place for them at any level of football - that is unless you're blessed with incredible talent, which definitely is not the case with our lot.

That said, I have to admit that Belgium are a great team with some incredible individuals. However, if you are stupid enough to let them play and strut their stuff....... as we did then you are going to lose....... as we did. Tell your players to man up, Mr Page, and start rattling a few ankles!!
