IT'S OFFICIAL - Wales Are Better Than England

[foxes_rule1978]

The rankings aren't any indication of anything at all

[Leeds Fox]

People saying England lack passion because they don't run around like Wales, or any other team of similar quality is a bit of flawed argument. England don't play that style of football. Teams sit back against us, especially against lower quality opponents in the qualifiers.

I'm not saying that England don't lack passion, but style of football isn't an argument for or against it. If England came up against France or Germany, I think you'd see a more dynamic performance. However, maybe not.

On another note, I love to see the Welsh, N.Irish and Rep Ireland do well, however I can't stand to see Scotland do well. They love to see us fail and are so bitter about us I just can't bring myself to see them do well.

Fifa are trialling a lottery style ping pong ball machine for the present rankings.

The ball with Wales written on it came up early as it's full of hot air.

[SystonFox]

England would smash Wales if we played them today.

And at rugby too this sheet coonts

[Corky]

And it's not as though Wales and Northern Ireland are simply benefitting from the extra places- both look very likely to win their groups.

It'll be a slight shame if Rooney surpasses Charlton's record tbh.

 

Out of all England's leading goalscorers overall, Rooney is the least respectful - swearing all the time, blame others for not scoring, general hothead.

[Goober]

swearing all the time

that bloody rascal

[Royston.]

Why are Wales above England?

 

They havent been in a major finals in my life time and even though they top their group, England top theirs with a better record.

How many of the Wales lineup were actually born in Wales. Even Ashley Williams was born in England.

[Lord Nibblington]

In the starting line up today? I think it was 7.

[Facecloth]

Williams, King, Edwards and Robson-Kanu were born in England the rest of the 11 in Wales.

Would love to know how one of those English players would feel coming up against England in a knockout game at the euros. How would they feel stepping up for a penalty for example? English through and through but playing for Wales because there grandma was born in Wales

You're assuming the being born in England means they are English through and through. They may have had a strong Welsh influence in their up bringing, or even moved there at a young age.

Well Ashley Williams was brought up in Wolverhampton and Andy King was brought up near London?

[Col city fan]

Wales better than England?

lol

I know plenty of people born and brought up in Leicester who follow India or Pakistan in Cricket and strongly identify with the country and it's culture. Just because Williams grew up in Birmingham doesn't mean he wasn't brought up by a Welsh family. You're talking like growing up their parents would have been St George's flag waving, grunting EDL members and he couldn't possibly contemplate pulling a Wales shirt on v England.

Right. Well a quick Google search and you will see that he is eligible for Wales through his grandmother

And that means he can't feel connected to Wales and wouldn't want to play v England?

No mate. It means it's more money for him through the boots he wears/sponsorship.
