There was no round of 16 then so technically they didn't actually go further in terms of rounds - just less teams.
You don't have to be. You simply need to fulfill the criteria according to FIFA rules.
He only fooled the FA in fairness. He was a unpopular choice from day one.
He fooled the media as well tho - they lapped up his rubbish. Magnum (Nick Collins) never had a bad word to say about him.
At Euro 2012 England won their group ahead of France, drawing with them and beating Sweden and the host Ukraine, before losing on penalties to Italy. A much more solid tournament than the last two, which have been a shambles.
That was me! But I meant he was the only one who qualifies for England that would get called up. Allen, Bale and Ramsey are all Welsh from youth level. And I would take Bale and Ramsey for England if I could!By the way thanks to all the Caf posters congratulating us and supporting us, probably hurts for the English ones too so much respect for you!
And yeah half our team were born in England, but why don't you take out Sterling who's Jamaican, Welbeck (who would have been in the squad) who's from Ghana, fact is these players chose to play for this team, if they didn't feel Welsh then they'd have done what Shawcross done and decide not to play international football (we asked him but he refused).
These guys are not forced to play for us, hence the heart and passion they play with, and who said only Williams would get in the English team?
yeah they played better fro sure - but my point was they didn't actually go further. A sad indictment in itself.
Thanks mate, seriously lost for words. Can't believe we've got to do it all again on wednesday in the semi final. I have no idea where you're from mate but i appreciate it.
I was going to ask what people in Belgium think of him
second time we've had a run in tonight then! Either way I agree with your point considering all you're hearing of the press/punters saying the youth set up is crap, the coaching is turd etc, it's clearly not, it's what your FA want their coach to do and pick the biggest names at all costs, and to be honest that must bug the hell out of you as it bugs me and I'm not even English, what on earth is Wilshire, Sterling don't in that squad, when Drinkwater and Townsend are left behind puzzles me, you seen Townsend fight for Newcastle for 5 months, and Drinkwater for Leicester all season, that's what the English team lacked, you had enough talent, you just needed a little more fight when the going got tough, that's where Drinkwater and Townsend would have proved worthy I reckon! Again sorry if you think I'm attacking you tonight! We have no "Z" in our alphabet, but a solid effort
Same as we do.
Or even Michael Carrick, a real actual midfielder! Anyway I shall leave this thread to the Welsh. Enjoy the weekend!
Cheers buddy, i do feel if hazard and de bruyne decided to show up may of been different plus wilmots is aloon bringing on the blonde fro when chasing a game.
I'm Irish but tonight I feel Welsh!
We play for each other in the welsh side simple as. When Belgium took the lead, did we hide? Nope. The problem is the fa for England they are too impatient and want immediate results, the whole England system needs gutting.
Why was wilmots hired?
Because he was assistant manager and cheap.
Danny's parents are from Ghana but he was born in Longsight, so he's just as English as Ashley WilliamsBy the way thanks to all the Caf posters congratulating us and supporting us, probably hurts for the English ones too so much respect for you!

If we're judging solely on talent then there's Williams, Bale, Ramsey, (possibly Allen) and the traffic cone that was brought here by a drunk Welsh fan to play in goals cos even that would do a better job than Hart in goal, that's half a team, judging on talent alone, then you factor in will, passion and mentality then you realise player like Drinkwater and Townsend should be there instead of Wilshire and Sterling.
Absolutely.
yup. To be clear: England have issues. Their EC was a deserved failure, and Wales have been brilliant and fully deserve to be in the semis.
This pretty much sums up being an England fan in my lifetime...
Wilmots is a problem, but they also look like a bunch of arrogant individuals for me - Courtouis, Lukaku, Hazard... Maybe if Kompany was present he would've molded them together with his leadership and calmness, but without him they are mentally weak
One of my issues with him is that he's too quiet on the pitch! I wish he'd be more of a dick during games.According to Belgian media, Courtois and Wilmots have had some sort of physical altercation after the match.
I really don't like Courtois, he seems to moan and whine a lot and get into arguments with everyone.
