A big game today for Wales in Croatia, as we continue our EURO 2020 qualifying campaigning with our second match.

We began our campaign with a victory over Slovakia.

Croatia have already played two games, beating Azerbaijan at home and losing in Hungary.

The match kicks off at 2pm, with high temperatures expected in Osijek - its expected to reach up to 30c. Croatia and Wales have both told UEFA of their displeasure at the kick off time.

You can watch the match live on Sky Sports Football and S4C.

Why didn't he swing a leg at it? Was only going to end up in net if he let ball hit leg which is what he did! :o

Looked like he got his feet all wrong. But it was Lawrence. Must've busted a gut to get back there! Where were the defence?!

Giggs’ side down at the break. A James Lawrence own goal the difference between the sides.

Suicidal start to the second half. Gifted them 3 good chances. Scored from the latest. Defending like John Stones.

2-0.

Giggs achieved nothing as a manager to deserve the national job......

Looks like Trollops Cardiff.... :oops: :oops: :oops:

What was he thinking with that pass out from back? Player tightly marked facing his goal and result lost ball but still opportunities to clear but failed! :o

Giggs amateurish approach again against the World Cup finalists. No Ampedu or Brooks. What was he thinking?
We had a good spell at the end of the first half. Other than that, second best and getting what we deserve. Hoped we could get a draw from this but not a chance.

We've had chances. Bale's just wasted 2. Should've let Wilson have that freekick. And straight at the keeper, should've done better!

Wales are second best by a distance. We look poor although Croatia are a class side

Brooks on. Smith off.

Ampadu on. Vaulks off.

They certainly don't look like they've had to get much out of first gear. But we've gifted this to them so far.

Was always going to be tough game against a side that has not lost at home in 5 yrs and never at this ground ? We've had our chances and cannot blame manager for errors by players... :old:

Yes. Croatia's turn to pass the ball straight to us. Good footwork from Brooks though to make space to get the shot off. Good finish

Hahaha. Snapping one out would certainly distract the keeper!
