Today’s Games 2023-2024

[S G Wolves]

Watching Wales on S4C in Welsh... ha..ha..

Poles are so crap.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Fair enough. I gave up believing in England decades ago so you’ll have to forgive my pessimism!

Me too really, but I do think we have the best squad in the world other than maybe France, and 90% of that is because of Mbappe who's just ridiculous.

To be as strong as we are, when other nations such as Italy, Germany, Spain etc are at their weakest in a long time is an opportunity we need to make the most of.

I think we can win the Euros even with Southgate in charge. But if we end up facing a France or Portugal we'll fall short.

Watching Wales on S4C in Welsh... ha..ha..

Poles are so crap.

It's basically been 'give it to Moore' against 'give it to Lewandowski' so you've got to think Wales are doing well to be level!

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Wales are out on their feet. Do well to hang on for pens now.

 

[S G Wolves]

All Poland now.

 

[JonahWolf]

Whether tactical instruction, or just because they knew they could make it work, the difference later in the game when Bellingham, Foden, Mainoo, and to an extent Bowen started sticking together and making quick combinations was ridiculous. That’s what we should be doing all the time. They are the plays that make things happen, they are the kind of players that can do it.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Wow, that's an incredibly harsh second yellow in the 121st minute

 

[RosehillWolf]

Mepham sent off for Wales

 

[RosehillWolf]

Pelanty shout out

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Pens it is. Good luck Wales (no offence @Polish Wolf !)

 

[Monketron]

Wow, that's an incredibly harsh second yellow in the 121st minute

He caught the top of the guys foot hard with his studs I think that's a fair enough yellow.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

You'd have to fancy Szczseny to be the hero over Ward.

 

[Andywolf74]

Yes they were friendlies and yes England weren’t at full strength but it’s two more games where we’ve come up short against two of the higher ranked international teams. Belgium were without the world class De Bruyne too.
I personally don’t see why it has to be Maguire or Dunk as the preferred partner for Stones. Both lack the mobility and athleticism for the very top level of international football and someone like Ben White just feels like a much better fit as partner for Stones. Arteta can clearly get a tune out of him and if there’s been a clash of personalities with White and the England coaching / management team then Southgate should demonstrate the necessary man management skills to overcome this.

 

[S G Wolves]

This is going to be cruel...

Little snigger...

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Terrible sides

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Tony Roberts doing the business before the pens!

 

[Polish Wolf]

I have enjoyed that, good effort from both teams. If you think we suck, this is the best we've played against any decent opposition for about 2-3 years

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Tension here, as we decide which one of these two nations will spend the Summer stinking the place out and being eliminated at the earliest possible opportunity.

Seems like some people have gone to it after England, when both teams (especially Wales) were spent. Not saying it's been the best spectacle, but both teams fully committed, just cancelled each other out a bit.

 

[S G Wolves]

**** take pen that.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Tension here, as we decide which one of these two nations will spend the Summer stinking the place out and being eliminated at the earliest possible opportunity.

Given that the winner goes into the Group Of Death with France, Netherlands and the exceptionally in-form Austria, that sounds about right.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Well judged Kieffer!

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Lucky Moore

 

[Watfordfc]

Winners go into a group with France and Netherlands

Good luck !

 

[Monketron]

Is it me or have players got a lot better at taking pens over the last few years?

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Polish manager looks like Eric Cantona

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Last World Cup there were some awful shoot outs

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Some shootout this one

 

[Monketron]

Last World Cup there were some awful shoot outs

I think the rule to stop keepers coming off their line has changed results a lot.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Pole - axed

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Oh dear

 

[WKFWolf]

Could see James didn't fancy it when the Poland player scored the 5th. Unlucky Wales

 

[S G Wolves]

Had the home crowd against a poor Polish team. Oh well.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Well done Poland.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Why didn’t broadhead take a pen?

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Given that the winner goes into the Group Of Death with France, Netherlands and the exceptionally in-form Austria, that sounds about right.

Poland will do well to get a point from any of those.

 

[Norwegian Wolf]

Gotta feel sorry for Dan James - he ran into the box and didn't know whether to take the penalty or dive to get another one.

 

[Planty]

Ward just looked like one of those keepers that'd never save a pen, like a pub keeper

 

[thommo1984]

Maguire or Dunk

Tomori and Stones all day long for me

 

[Polish Wolf]

Wales gave it all, fair play to them. In the end, we've got Szczesny and they have Ward.
