Wales vs Iceland

Big game tonight. I've got a great feeling that we will win tonight.

Very impressed so far with Bellamy and his selections.

Hopefully he will start with Dan James instead of Sorba.

Would like to see David Brooks get some good game time too.

Fingers crossed.

International football - do people like it?

Bit of context to the question.

I am Welsh, in my 50s and have spent the last 25 years in Scotland.

When internationals roll around, everyone seems to hate it up here. I sense a total lack of interest from English fans too.

But I love it and enjoy it more than domestic football.

And I've gone through lows and highs and back to lows of Welsh football. But I still can't wait for the next Wales/ Cymru game.

I know we will never win anything but I still don't miss a game.

So am I in the minority? Is it the same, back home in Wales?

Is anybody here going to the Turkey v Wales game?

I’m currently living in a camper van in Istanbul. Was wondering if anyone has a spare ticket or if they’re in Istanbul to meet up and watch the game.

Do any of the Welsh clubs have many or some English fans?

Hi everyone a clueless Englishman here lol.

So this is more of a curiosity question so the other day I was speaking to my mate who comes from Swansea but lives here in Hampshire now, he supports a English team over Swansea and this got me curious, are there many or any English fans who supports a Welsh club instead? (Not including TNS) So for example are there any English Wrexham or Cardiff fans?

Also in your opinions what Welsh club has the biggest English following?

Cheers to all who reply and btw good luck in your next international too

Welsh domestic football

League of Ireland fan here coming in peace. I'm a Waterford fan but watching Shamrock Rovers vs TNS, generally interested when our teams play in Europe.

TNS are making it very difficult for Rovers, far more competitive than the last match versus Larne.

I just popped over here to get the Welsh perspective but there seems to be very little chat about Welsh domestic ball. Is there a separate sub? Seems a shame for such a big sub, I'd expected a match thread or something!

Nicky Hayen

Aston Villa lost to Bruges last night who are managed by Nicky Hayen who , not long ago, managed my team Haverfordwest County in the Welsh League I remember him coming in, we were relegation bound but two great victories set us on our way to just missing out on the European play off position. He only lasted 6 months here before taking the Bruges Under 21 game but changed our future in those 6 months Pleased to see him doing so well.

Why do they chant "they fucked it up"?

Hey mates I visited a match of Wrexham AFC for the first time and the Wrexham fans chanted "England fucked it up" and "premier League fucked it up" - why do they do it?

What have we learnt from 4 games in this campaign?

So four games for Bellamy - how do we think it is going so far?

For me, night and day compared to Page. If nothing else, he's attack focused and brought positivity to the team.

I look forward to the internationals now without the fear of a pumping incoming.

So positives for me:

Formation is attack minded. But he doesn't seem to have a tactical switch when winning. Did better last night but needs a plan B.

Players who have done well this camp - Wilson, Neco, sheehan, Cullen, Harris, Rod on, cabango.

Players who have done better than expected but not a first steamer - Sorba, Darlow, broadhead, cooper.

Players who haven't impressed - Wes Burn, Ward, Allen.

With regards to Allen. Seemed like a good idea but I thought he was poor. Gave away the ball and looked like th eager he was at the tail end of the world Cup. As in not as good as he was. Better options these days like Jordan James and Sheehan and Cullen.

So what's everyone else's thoughts?

I think we will come second but might just do it.

And Germany WC looks positive.

Wales vs Montenegro prediction/ match thread

As there isn't one up yet, thought I would pop this up for our discussions.

It's going to be a tough game tonight as we have quite a few suspensions and injuries.

Brennan is out through suspension. Although, I didn't feel he played that well the other night anyway.

Ampadu, Ramsey and Dan James are all out through injury.

So, firstly reflections on Friday's game.

Danny Ward is a liability for my money. He doesn't look comfortable on the ball when playing out. And it wasn't just Friday it's every game. I would put in one of the others.

Wes Burns looked average and gave away a horrific back pass on Friday. So I would prefer Koumas in that role.

Sorba did okay after doing great against Turkey. So I would keep him in.

And finally, the rest of the team did quite well so I would largely unchange the team.

Neco and Harry were fantastic the other night, so I would keep that partnership.

As for predictions, I am going for the same score as the away leg. 2-1 to Wales after we concede first.
