He has got it right for the last few years Gareth. Thats the point.
But well done for seeing the obvious tonight for once.

I predicted we would lose by two, so whoever we play next I am going to predict us losing by three, and in the quarter finals my prediction is to lose by four. If only we could have held on to our half time lead against England, they would be on their way home tomorrow. Hope Ireland do well tomorrow.

That's a matter of opinion. Tonight we were superb. Best performance under Coleman. Dominated like we did v Israel away against stronger opposition. It's a shame coleman wasn't braver against England. The formation tonight allowed Allen and Ramsey so much time on the ball plus Vokes was an outlet up front. Hopefully Coleman goes positive in last 16. We can make quarters no problem if we play to out strengths. If we make semis Coleman deserves a knighthood.

Well no it is not opinion really is it, we qualified from our group (in 2nd place just missing out on top spot to Belgium) with 1 defeat in the 10 games conceeding just 4. We then became the first British side to win their opening game at the Euos ever, we have just topped the group winning 2 out of 3 only losing to England by a solitary goal in the last minute and finishing it off with the joint biggest win of the tournament to date. Thats sounds like getting it right to me, it would be amazing to try and argue against it.
Lets hope we get Albania (who are no push overs btw) and have a decent crack at the last 8. The fact a fan of a nation of 3 million can type the above is truly remarkable.

Hope it is Albania or a really weak team. Get to quarters with a player like Bale then who knows what can happen.

Coleman now head and shoulders the most successful manager in Welsh footballing history, fully deserving of his new contract and just as Ranieri is to club football, Coleman is a shining light to the rest of World International football in how to galvanise a squad and utilise a team with players from all levels.
What an achievement, what a night.![]()
Rambo and Davies are massive losses for us, so don't see us getting past a well drilled Portugal side. With our resources, losing two key players like that is the equivelant of a 'on paper' strong side losing half a team. Seems so unfair to be suspended for 2 yellows in 5 tournament games, hardly a punishable lack of discipline. Although with this side, and as Coleman rightly said "never be afraid to dream".

Can't disagree and I'm happy to admit I got it wrong.
The yellow card rule is harsh. We can get over losing Davies but losing Ramsey may be a blow that we can't cope with as he has been our best player.

I'm a legend in my own lunchtime chief. I'd need 5 pints, 2 bottles of red and a bottle of scotch before loving Mr Gove.

We lost to England in the second group game, who proved themselves to be bottlers and shit. The thread was a valid question at the time
Let's dig out past threads on the 0-3 loss to Sweden shall we and have a laugh on a few poster's expense? NO it belongs to the past![]()
