    He's not exactly a favourite of mine of course lol.
    But remember the keeper Jan Tomasewski against us/England at Wembley, back in '73!. :eek:

    Balls to Poland. They’re never in good games & provide little to no entertainment at tournaments. Nearly always qualify but you can’t remember them contributing when they get there.

    Anti-Welsh sentiment online is a bit more common but it's usually the sort of anonymous trolls you would expect on the internet. Probably more interested in generating hate clicks than having a genuine discussion. You will find arseholes online of any kind if you go looking for them.

    Agreed. Of course, there's no anti English sentiment or trolling emanating from Cymru. They're all staunchly British. You can tell that every time we play Cardiff away, those guys have no interest at all in trolling, nationalism, flag shagging or throwing glass bottles of piss at us. All the trolling is from the English side and the Welsh are absolutely British to the core. That's why I'm so disappointed Wales are out but it's brilliant that they'll be cheering on the English, I expect they'll be singing Jerusalem in the Valleys with their white bucket hats while they cheer on their English friends. I expect they're as excited as I am at cheering on Jude Bellingham to the trophy.

    Well done Cymru, you got really close to qualifying for a tournament that is hosting such footballing luminaries as Scotland, Georgia, Albania, Slovakia and Ukraine. Let's be fair though - they are brilliant at posh boys rugby, they won a wooden spoon this Spring.

    I’ve only seen Wales at 2 tournaments & they were brilliant at one & crap at the other. I can’t ever remember an exciting Polish side

    They literally got to the Semi-finals the Euro's before last. The same tournament where England lost to the global footballing powerhouse that is Iceland.

    More than likely but I do enjoy watching them. There’s an obvious connection to Moore & then they’ve got a few attack minded players in Wilson, Johnson, Williams, Brooks & James who I enjoy watching.

    It’s nothing against the Poles, I just think they’re pretty dire to watch & never entertain. I’d put Ukraine, Greece & Ireland in the same category.

    Isn't that part of the same argument though (and I'm not sticking up for Poland).
    Wales Fc rarely ever qualify, and they had one beginners luck run to the Euro '16 Semis, which admittedly was impressive.
    Do you think that's 'better' though than any teams who qualify most of the time, and are there in tournaments, while the Welsh are at home feeling extremely bitter and jealous ?. :eek:
