Quoting Ronaldo talking about Iceland, irony levels unclear.

Stop...Hammertime
Wtf?
You got a Jammy win, enjoy it
He's taking the piss out of Ronaldo's comments after the Iceland game, calm down.
Also, that wasn't jammy, it just took ages for us to make our superior possession and chances count, slight difference

Hopefully both will go through, but frankly, neither are even playing the same sport as France, Germany, Italy or Spain. The plastic Paddy in me says Ireland would give both a decent game, which is no endorsement.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
But we didn't did we? You took 82 minutes to sneak a result against a one man team!

Yipchaa!
Neither did England against Norway in '81.
Also, we had 20+ attempts on goal, that's not quite "sneaking it"!

Fair play to Wales, you made a great game of it. I found it admirable that the team didn't park the bus but kept the game open and flowing.
The fans do need to sort their singing out though! Both times they sang Bread of our Fathers it was so badly out of tune it put the team off and England scored shortly afterwards. Bad form.

True enough, but I was bricking it over every single one of those 20 times (each a miss!) that Bale would grab another with his moment of genius.
That was the second half for me, but ...
In the first, the Welsh fans next to me in the pub agreed that Bale wasn't in the game. Until he was
Then they spent the second half bricking it that England might score.
A perceptive Welsh boy said 'Oh shit Vardy's on now' ... about 3 minutes before he sneaked that equaliser

Should have had Vardy and Sturridge on from the beginning. Would have been 4 or 5-1 with them playing. Nice consolation goal from Bale though. Think Slovakia will be harder to beat.
At least we have one.

The most important lesson to be learned from this game is that Jonny Williams has a shit haircut and he dives.

I dont really buy in to this short termism over which striker is good or not.
Vardy's goal was a lucky goalhanging tap in in an offside position (i know it wasnt actually offside as it came off a welsh player) that any defender could have scored - the commentators talking up of it was a joke
Sturridge did work hard but got a bit lucky too. Kane hasnt had a great couple of games but its pointless to find deeper patterns and meanings from that.
IMO

being where? left behind the line offside? its hardly genius
looked to me like he ran in for the cross, didnt connect and ended up offside but luckily found himself just where a random ball pinged towards him off a miss hit welsh header....

I know, but he had to run in to get there and still reckon the fact Kane never found himself in similar situation does say something, though fair enough style had changed too. So not evidence of world class but not just jammy either imo

Oh wow you have a song about a country you were born in, like every other country in the world. Wow! Well jealous. Shame you don't have a football team that can beat your most hated enemy eh? Is it sore, Danny? 'Oh Danny boy, the pi...' oh wait sorry wrong one, not very good at those type of songs are we? Good at beating Wales at football though

I'd always wondered what the point of England fans singing GSTQ was... turns out it's to wind up Welshmen with an irration obsession about the legitimacy of national anthems
