Euro '24 Play offs

Should be a fine match - too close to call - Fifa World Rankings have Cymru at 29 and Poland 30. We have a good talented young side (Ampadou aged 23 has 50 caps!) but sometimes lacking discipline.
Kieffer had a poor match last night v. Finland - hoping for a better performance from him on Tuesday. He'll very much be the target man for the Poles.
Ther will be a fantastic atmosphere at the match - Taffs have a brilliant official National Anthem - 'Mae Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' and a brilliant unofficial one 'Yma o Hyd.' The latter written by Dafydd Iwan who was imprisoned in1970 for protesting about the banning of the Welsh Language.
Look out for the Bucket Hats !
My money on a Taff win after a shootout.

 

Will page start with Kieffer you think ? Personally bring him off the bench like last night, if Wales can play at a good tempo, defend set pieces from lewandowski they can do it.
Was impressed with Wilson last night, you've got real pace when you play with that high tempo 1 touch stuff with Johnson looking to get inbehind, be a great game for sure, still going for a Welsh win on pens

 

Rob Page has done a brilliant job - like his tactics - team young and energetic. Biggest concern is that they sometimes lack discipline.
Would not start with Kieffer - it may be an odd thing to say but I feel at time he's detached from the rest of the players and upsets the game rhythm ??
Start with the same team that won last night and see how things develop.

 

I think Luxembourg and Kazakhstan did well to reach the Play offs, but it shows that there are far too many qualification places these days.
They had it right with 16 teams at the Euros, but now like in the World cup as well, its just ridiculous.

 

Anyone bar Wales all the other home nations hate us so why should we want anything else other than the not qualifying?

 

Yeah but you aren't allowed to think that, apparently.

 

I'd rather they qualify, on the occasions we've played both Wales and Scotland recently at tournaments the atmospheres have been great, the banter between fans has been brilliant, much rather see England v Wales/Scotland than say England v Slovakia

 

I live in north wales. My welsh friends cheer on whom ever we are playing so I want Poles to win. I dont know how they play ever playoff game at home. Played austria and ukraine at home in last playoffs and this time finland and now Poland at home. 4 playoffs all at home summat not right for me. Come On Lewandowski one big swan song

 

I want Wales to do well. I consider them and Scotland to be like little brothers who are nowhere near as good but desperate to win. It's endearing as they're just not a threat. When they play us it's the biggest event in their football calendar, bless 'em whereas for us it's just another game against poorer opposition.

 

What a pompous and arrogant post.
Little wonder we all support ABE. And we are never disappointed

 

9 minutes, wish I could catch summat that quickly when I go fishing for real

 

Careful what you wish for….

 

Have I missed something?

 

Now, now. You should know by now the neighbours' sense of humour is one directional....

 

Read the English translation of the unofficial Welsh anthem YMA O HYD.
Cymru - language and culture has survived - valleys drowned - Welshmen imprisoned in the 1970/80's in the battle to preserve the Welsh language.
We may lose some battles on the football field but we've won the war - because WE ARE STILL HERE!

 

Sound like the Massives there!

 

Used to agree with you till I lived in wales. Now honestly hope they get absolutely battered. My son is born and bread half Welsh & half English - and an absolute two hat when it comes to hating the English like they all do here.

 

But there is a reason why the English are hated so much.

 

Envy?
