You’d have to admit us more than Wales. Would have a huge feeling of dread drawing them especially in wales. Let’s be honest if Bale turned up he could win the game quite easily.If we got them in the final the occasion would be massive though.

And hopefully we've learned now, if theres a player running the show, gie him a kick, get him oot the game. I'd love to knock either Wales or Italy out, I'll be happy with either.

Caledonian Craig Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There are many reasons to fear Wales - not just Gareth Bale. Their recent record at major tournaments knocks spots off what we have ever achieved. That alone speaks volumes. You may be able to fluke one good run at a major tournament but not two.

I would not complain about getting them in the Final at Hampden though. Edited November 25, 2021 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 You can respect a team. If you fear them, you will lose. We were conned out of a win against them when they had peak Bale. If we play to form we’d give them a bit of a doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is we heard many on here pre-Denmark match saying they saw no way of us beating Denmark yet Denmark have a poorer record in the Euros over the last two tournaments compared to Wales. That tells me Wales are better than many on here think but dare not admit it. We have a tightly knit squad with a great team spirit and growing belief and so have Wales with greater belief and the confidence their results have given them over the last few years.

Orraloon Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The perfect draw for me would be Austria or N Macedonia in the semi, then a home draw for the final against whichever team has just knocked out Wales. If that team happens to be Poland it would be nice if Lewandowski got sent off in the semi. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think people assume they have an aging squad because of guys like Allen, Ramsey and Bale etc but these guys were VERY young when they made their debuts, so does feel like they have been around for a life time..... Ethan Ampadu, only just turned 21 and has more caps for Wales than Stuart Armstrong has for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK for us supporters to say stuff like that, but when managers come out with it, that just shows how feart they are to take on the "big boys". It's OK for him to think that, but saying it out loud could dent the confidence of some of his players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose when the press ask the question who they would like, naturally you would go for the weakest on paper (like everyone here is doing with North Macedonia), and just the way the unseeded teams are thinking as Czech manager has said the exact same, and Ukrainian sports journalists are calling us their dream draw. Sure Clarke has a idea of who he would like, difference being he is keeping it to himself (not seen him name a actual team yet, but swerve the question when asked).

Callumdonia Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's at 4pm in Zurich, so 3pm here in the UK. I don't think it's on TV but live streamed online by FIFA, I believe.
