There a reason Zakaria isn’t starting in midfield for the Swiss
and many don’t want to admit they are welsh… (Joke).There’s only about 3 million of us, and some of those don’t even follow the football. Manchester has a larger population for comparison.
They are a strange team. Nearly always qualify and nearly always same tough to beat solid team at every tournament. Never get beyond last 16 or quartersI dont know what it is but I underrated Switzerland every year. Always predict them to flop and they always do OK and are the same solid team. We'll see if I'm right this year
You've obviously never watched the six nations before.Wales really don't have a "pump up" national anthem do they...
Such a random host location, who is going to fly out to AzerbaijanDidn't Baku say they can have 50% capacity?
The stadium looks empty. Max 7-8 k....just lack of interest among the locals ?
Have to agree. we usually hold well onto a 0:0 even under great pressure most of the times but we are always good for a slapstick goal against us. we are solid but there is no world class quality players, our strength was always the collective which is often times not enough at the end. I predict Shaqiri to play bad overall but score a wonder goal somehow.They are a strange team. Nearly always qualify and nearly always same tough to beat solid team at every tournament.

Was same for the europa league final wasn't it between Arsenal-Chelsea....loads of empty seats that night and just didn't have feel of a major european final.Didn't Baku say they can have 50% capacity?

Nope can't say that I do! More just compared it to Turkey and Italy yesterday which is hard to beat tbf.You've obviously never watched the six nations before.
Wales got about 200 fans here, it's an amazing listen when 30k are belting it out in Cardiff (or 70k at Millenium for the rugby).
Pretty sure he turned us down for his career progressionwasnt Embolo getting hyped up back in 2018? vaguely remember that name getting linked to a bunch of big clubs.
Difficult when you have a CNN show as a side gig.Why is Zakaria not a starter?
Ah yeah didn't see the location in your profile. Or Bosnian roots.Nope can't say that I do! More just compared it to Turkey and Italy yesterday which is hard to beat tbf.

Shouldn't be held here. The locals aren't arsed so why bother.Was same for the europa league final wasn't it between Arsenal-Chelsea....loads of empty seats that night and just didn't have feel of a major european final.
I hate this new setup, makes the group stage even less high-stakes.With the best 4 3rd placed finishers, basically you just need 1 win to qualify. Maybe 4 points at worst. A win in game 1 basically gets you in though unless you throw it away completely.
Well Italy were at home and lots of Turks there or could easily get to.Nope can't say that I do! More just compared it to Turkey and Italy yesterday which is hard to beat tbf.
...but earns the competition far more moneyI hate this new setup, makes the group stage even less high-stakes.
o wow, the one that Mkhytarian didn't even deem safe to travel...and that was before the war last year.Was same for the europa league final wasn't it between Arsenal-Chelsea....loads of empty seats that night and just didn't have feel of a major european final.
