Neither team can defend so far in this game, this could be any score.

When VAR was first brought in it was supposed to take out the clear and obvious mistakes. It's obvious that now it just gives the big clubs/countries more opportunities to avoid upsets.

How can a player avoid that handball it was 2 yards away. If that had been a Belgium defender there's no way it would have been checked. Complete and utter nonsense.

Penalty was a sucker punch but was always going to be given due to him having his hand out.

Second goal we just didn’t concentrate and let a ball over the top catch everyone out.

We are still in it, but we need no more mistakes and we have to take these half chances we are getting

Been a lot more chances for Belgium, lucky it's only 2-1.

Yeah, but we are getting glimmers of hope that as long as they keep being wasteful, we might get back into it.

If anyone is interested apparently if we avoid defeat by 3 clear goals we are in pot 1 for playoffs so have home game in semi final ... finals are a simple lucky dip for home tie and opponents... but at way we ate defending be lucky to avoid 3 clear goal defeat!

HT: Wales 1-2 Belgium

Good start by Wales and took the lead early on.

But the penalty decision changed the game and Belgium have been on top since then.

At least there's only one goal in it.

A good quality half by both. They're still elite on the counter. We're still in this!! We're doing damage down our right.

Definately a hand ball for me.

I've seen them given so not criticising the decision too much, but I'd call it a soft decision.

Should never have been a pen, but after that Belgium had the better c hances. When we have got a few crosses in and we have looked dangerous. Strange to pick a winger and not play more. I would like to see Moore on instead of Wilson 2nd half. But Bellamy rarely brings on subs early.
In fairness, Harris has done prettywell.

We look wide open at the back, its crazy how much of a downgrade cabango is on Lawlor, really makes you appreciate what a talent we have at our club, I just hope Bellamy makes the correct substitutions second half

Agree completely. The commentator said Lawlor might well have played but he picked up a slight knock.
