Group A - Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Wales

[wpdavid]

Great move; another good chance. wales will be kicking themselves if they don't win this.

EDIT
And that was one heck of a challenge by Ramsey.

 

[wpdavid]

I really wouldn't have taken Ramsey off. I think they're missing his time on the ball in this situation.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Turkish captain had a terrible game

 

[Pothas]

Turkey were dreadful.

 

[wpdavid]

So clever from Bale for the second goal. Turkey were poor, but Wales beating them in their back yard is a worthy achievement.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to say Wales played practically all the football.

Not so very long ago one was used to seeing leaden footed British and Irish players being given the run around by fancy dans from Yurp but the Taffs' technique was far better than yer Turks.

Pretty much through now, aren't they?

Even if (say) Switzerland beat Italy and Turkey, and Italy thump the Leekists 4 points will surely nab a third spot.

Kudos, thoroughly merited.

 

[GIMH]

Only saw the last 15 and it was riveting. Seems like it must have been a great game. Fair play to Wales.

 

[sledger]

Wow. Banger.

 

[grecian]

Italy don't start well in Tournaments do they? it feels wrong.

 

[Furball]

When you got on Italy at 11/1

 

[Pothas]

Italy v Belgium quarter-final potentially isn't it? Can't wait for that one.

 

[sledger]

Where's Jermaine Jenas to tell us Italy's front line is crap again?

 

[DriveClub]

Italy is that team on FIFA where you have a lot of decent players but have maxed out the chemistry.

So clever from Bale for the second goal. Turkey were poor, but Wales beating them in their back yard is a worthy achievement.

Having caught up with the highlights, Wales scored some damn ***y goals

 

[wpdavid]

Nice finish, even if I'm not sure about Ward's positioning.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

A dull day thanks to turkey for being complete useless this tourney

 

[wpdavid]

That was the chance Gareth

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, yer Turks have been utter dogplop.

Weird, because they took 4 points off the French in qualifying for this (admittedly a wee while ago now) and have beaten the Netherlands (and Norway) in the WC qualifiers more recently.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

and have beaten the Netherlands (and Norway) in the WC qualifiers more recently.

you won't get any argument from me that that group is a pile of decrepit rubbish

 

[wpdavid]

Currently 3-1 and 1-0

Am I right in thinking that one more goal for Italy or Switzerland puts Wales in third place?
