    Less strange considering they have just been beaten by England in the same competition.
    That probably still stings

    But they're still Englishmen(some of them) celebrating England losing. Bizarre.

    Perhaps if England had been more together as a team, they would not be home already

    They're celebrating being the last home nations team in the competition. They see it as a key point to be proud of. Understandable really.

    You also have to remember that a lot of them were at some point told they weren't good enough to play for England and have now just gone further than england

    Somebody has obviously sneaked the video out, hence the pathetic attempts to excuse the behaviour, no disrespect intended etc, they might as well have just come clean, what's done is done.
    I know if I was an England player I would be looking forward to meeting them on the pitch next time, either individually or as at team.

    If the likes of Wales and Scotland put as much effort into backing themselves rather than hating England then perhaps they would be half decent teams.

    I don't really think of Wales as a rival, not in the same way as I think of Scotland, Germany and Argentina as a rival so despite this video I'd be quite pleased for them if they won it.

    Perhaps if the English in the Welsh squad had been playing for England, we would have done better.

    Totally, the no disrespect comments, did not hold water. But they are a different team, not England B. From a separate nation with a tiny population. You can see why they might have affinities with another very small state.

    Celebrating the fact that now England are out that's one less of the elite sides that they may have to face in the final :rolleyes:

    Let us also not forget that Wales have more national pride and passion than us and that none of the England tean would get in the Wales team.



    Apparently.

    No they are NOT!!
    All the welsh I know, when it comes to sport......... hate us with a passion and cant wait for England to fail just like the Scots (actually not as bad).
    They all do really need to move on. I can always remember been abused by a load of Welsh lads regarding rugby it got pretty ugly....they think we are ALL arrogant so and so's.
    I don't mind banter and bit of healthy argument but it gets too far.
    I truly don't hate anybody ................lets just hope tis doesn't bit them on the bum.

    Is this the same Wales who are still in a competition we've just been eliminated from, or a different one?
