I never wanted a foreign coach from the start! You should have to make do with what you've got. We have club football for picking players from around the world. Now national teams are just becoming like clubs in that respect.

Surely every Welsher knows the significance of 1958?!? It's the date from which every welsh footballer has been able to safetly book his summer holidays down at Thomas Cook well in advance of summer. Without being burdened by the possibility of having to spend the summer months playing for Wales in a European Championships or World Cup!! ;D ;D

quality day that was ruined by 90 mins of football.
I don't see why people say James is at fault- Why did the defence allow Anelka through so easily in the first place? Giving away a penalty is hardly the greatest of errors.
Beckham was one of our better players. Some people expect skills from Ronaldo and pace from Lennon coming from him but he is not that sort of player. Never has and never will be. Some of the long range passing he done yesterday was unbelieveably accurate. His crossing was a lot better than Downings as well. He got a standing ovation from everyone around me (mainly all frogs as i was in the home end)
Neither team looked that interested in attacking to be honest, which made the game depressingly boring.

I think 'considerably better' is no overstatement!! ;D Population of England: 50,000,000 (2006) Population of Wales: 3,000,000 (2006) SIXTEEN times the population and you still can't find a team that's good enough to win jack?! ENGLISH FOOTBALL IS A JOKE!!! ;D

Some of the long range passing he done yesterday was unbelieveably accurate. His crossing was a lot better than Downings as well. As I said in my debate with Mort yesterday, Beckham's still got all the strengths he ever possessed. I'm actually very concerned by our squad as a whole at the moment. As one of the Five Live team observed yesterday: Beckham aside, we have no-one in the squad at the moment who can deliver a really quality cross. Because of this, play is forced through the centre, and we lack a playmaker who can deliver the defence-splitting passes required, it would seem. On top of that, our forwards are apparently unable (unwilling, based on yesterday ) to lose their markers, which renders any attempts to put the ball into the box fruitless anyway, and the opposition are quickly able to suss out our one-way playing style anyhow. The thing is, without the players to rectify this situation available, what can Capello do about it? (Personally, I'd say stop playing Wes Brown at right-back and Cashley at left-back, for one!)

Therefore you believe the Chinese are underperforming as a nation ........... and you hate them for it!!

At no point did I ever say that we're a 'good footballing nation'. However as a welshman taking the piss out of the english for being piss poor at football, is akin to a blind man mocking the poor eye sight of a myopic man!! ;D
