I've never seen a more obvious penalty miss than James there
Just after Poland scored their third pen, the camera panned to James and I said to my wife “I hope he’s not taking one because he’s absolutely shitting it here”.

Ah poor kid. He'd be getting death threats if he'd missed that for England

Rob Page is a moron.

Went into extra time with 4 subs to use, and proceeded to stand there with his thumb up his arse watching almost every player walk around absolutely fecked, and only eventually subbed a subsitute.

Didn't bring on fresh legs to try and win in extra time. Didn't bring on a penalty taker for the shootout. Literally just stood there and hoped for the best. Useless.

Page is useless with subs.

Southgate and Steve Clarke will be the same in the summer, British coaches are awful at making tweaks when game momentum swings away from them.

The better team won. Wales would've been cannon fodder in that group, Poland less so.

Aye, the team that had *checks notes* zero shots on target in 120 minutes were far superior.
Wales are shite, lad. Poland are too, just less so. You can't say they weren't the more likelier to score.

Can't see Poland doing anything at the actual tournament. Lewa well past his best and obviously dosen't have the quality around him like he does at club level. Zalewski started well but faded, Zielinski the ultimate top level club player who can't translate form into international level.

I was impressed with their RB though, he'd be a good pick up for many prem clubs at a decent fee given he's played in the CL for Lens this season.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"

Not a great bench have we? But maybe Ramsey just for a pen? (experience)
