Wales Euro/World Cup qualifiers

[Gromit]

So gwlad pwyl translates to country poland...?. is it normal to put gwlad infront of other country names?

gwlad means land (as in country) and Welsh reverses.

Castell Coch means Red Castle. Coch being Red.

 

[JimW]

Crop the excellent Polish keeper

Not always

 

[ddraig]

No.

And pwyl means care/caution. Go figure.

That's pwyll

 

[planetgeli]

That's pwyll

There we are then

 

[JimW]

Learning that Welsh borrows words for momentum, transition and tackle.
All a bit nip and tuck.

 

[editor]

Many nails being bitten here. Come on Wales!

 

[ska invita]

Shocked Wales took Johnson off, the game missed his touch

 

[JimW]

How's the red card affect pen takers?

 

[editor]

Poland failed to register a shot on target in 90 minutes.

This is nerve wracking!

Poland have to nominate someone not to take one.

 

[ska invita]

Poland failed to register a shot on target in 90 minutes.

that sounds like standard Poland

 

[JimW]

Poland failed to register a shot on target in 90 minutes.

This is nerve wracking!

That doesn't seem right, recall a couple of soft efforts keeper gathered.

 

[ska invita]

Wales deserve this

 

[JimW]

Wales deserve this

Thank goodness sport works that way

 

[editor]

1-1. Come on Wales!

 

[ska invita]

i had a bad feeling about Moore

 

[JimW]

Pinball pen

 

[editor]

FUCKING BOLLOCKS.

 

[JimW]

Oof.

 

[ddraig]

Mor greulon!
Proper gutted

 

[Gromit]

We didn't deserve that loss.

Moore deserved a pen.

Ref lost that for us.

 

[planetgeli]

Poland never had a shot on target in 120 minutes. Funny ol' game.

Oh and bollocks.

 

[Wilf]

Ah, shite. Yous definitely deserved that.

Pedantic edit: deserved to win I meant.

 

[JimW]

Poland off to make up the numbers.

 

[1927]

We didn't deserve that loss.

Moore deserved a pen.

Ref lost that for us.

And Lewandoski penalty should have been disallowed as he stopped in his approach.

 

[Gromit]

And Lewandoski penalty should have been disallowed as he stopped in his approach.

Feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted, however, feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is now considered an infringement of Law 14 and an act of unsporting behaviour for which the player must be cautioned.

I need to see it again but I seem to remember two feints took place.

 

[1927]

I need to see it again but I seem to remember two feints took place.

I'm sure he actually stops on second one, that is not allowed.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ah well.

Gutting to go out like that but it was a deeply unimpressive qualification campaign following a horrible Nations League. Wales were kind of lucky to have this chance. Poland not a great team either tbh.

I still think 24 teams is too many for the Euros. There aren't 24 good teams in Europe. 16 was the right number. The playoffs between a bunch of teams that finished third or worse in their groups is a strange thing.

yeah my welsh friend said Wales should’ve beaten Armenia away- basically came down to the Armenia games
