Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 agreed, the pressure is certainly more relaxed and wales are just enjoying being there and playing loose. Helps when you could say you have the 2nd best player at the euros. Yeah definitely. We're just happy to be here at the end of the day. Fans and players alike.
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 I hope you're right, for their sakes, I'm genuinely concerned they think they're the best team in the group. Are we better than Wales? yes Are we better than Slovakia? yes Are we better than Russia? yes Unless im missing something, that makes us the best team in the group then.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Are we better than Wales? yes Are we better than Slovakia? yes Are we better than Russia? yes Unless im missing something, that makes us the best team in the group then. Wales are above you in the group and you just drew with Russia. Are Chelsea better than Leicester?
Kevinparr71 Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Thursdays game will be closer than a lot of people think would take a 0-0 now but have a horrible feeling that Vards will play and score(hope I'm wrong)

Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Wales are above you in the group and you just drew with Russia. Are Chelsea better than Leicester? Your argument makes no sense as we didnt lose to Chelsea, and we won the league For your argument to work, you should be asking are Aston Villa one of the best sides in the Premier League? they won on the opening day, so they were near the top. So they were one of the best teams in the league? evidently not. Are Newcastle better than Spurs? because Newcastle beat Spurs 5-1 and 2-1. So therefore they are better than Spurs? evidently not. Are Bradford City better than Chelsea? they beat them once right? evidently not. England are better than Wales. Its not even a discussion. Poxy nations like Wales and Norther Ireland always trot out this "we have so much passion unlike your big nation does. look at our pride compared to your prima donnas who dont care". Bollocks. No, its that your players have next to zero ability other than Bale. "oh but you drew a game, we won our game so on that basis alone Wales are a better football nation than England and you must be a proper shit team because at the end of the day, you did draw" If this Portugal v Iceland game ends in a draw, are Hungary the best team in the group? Thats your logic
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 The table doesn't lie pal. So what happens if you lose on thursday and the other game has a positive result. All of a sudden in the space of 90 mins you become the 3rd best team in the group do you? lol Things can happen fast in football lmao
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 finners bein made to look like an idiot by a fella called donut. couldn't write this.

But they are. The only way we can quabtifiably measure the best team in our group is the league table, that's what it's there for. We're top.

Belgium are world ranked 1 They must also be proper shit as they are lower than Republic Of Ireland in their group. After one group game. lol
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 I think we can all agree that performances in tournament football are far more reliable than the fifa world rankings and I'd definitely never imply otherwise or start a thread on the wind up based on those. (Was it you that got really stressed out arguing in that as well?! I honestly don't know why people on here still bother. )

(Was it you that got really stressed out arguing in that as well?! I honestly don't know why people on here still bother. ) Well if its performances in tournament football that defines whos best, then it aint you, as this is the first tournament youve even reached in about 50 years Give up mate
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Well if its performances in tournament football that defines whos best, then it aint you, as this is the first tournament youve even reached in about 50 years Give up mate You're only as good as your last performance pal. It's not 1966 forever. BUT WE BEAT SLOVAKIA I get it lol
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 You're only as good as your last performance pal. It's not 1966 forever. Yep. Newcastle won their last game 5-1, and we drew. Newcastle are better than Leicester.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Yep. Newcastle won their last game 5-1, and we drew. Newcastle are better than Leicester. What? No. Leicester finished top of the league, Newcastle finished... I don't even know, I stopped looking that far down after November. I told you, the table doesn't lie.
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Were you better than England when Sweden were hammering you 3-0? Because Sweden are only the third best team in their group right? so............they pumped you 3-0. So theyre better than you then?
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 What? No. Leicester finished top of the league, Newcastle finished... I don't even know, I stopped looking that far down after November. I told you, the table doesn't lie. You just said youre as good as your last game. Newcastle were bloody good in their last game. Better than us in our last game. Theyre better than us.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Were you better than England when Sweden were hammering you 3-0? Because Sweden are only the third best team in their group right? so............they pumped you 3-0. So theyre better than you then? It wasn't really quantifiable at that point. There was no realistic means of comparison.Now there is, we're in the same group and we're ahead of you. Plus, yknow, Bale is better than all your players but then that's just my opinion and the opinion of the rest of the planet but yknow. Don't listen to all of us. Just look at the table. Yknow. The one you're in and we're in and you're not top of. We are. (seriously bud I'll do this all night. Or at least, til my battery dies. Which is about 5% away.)
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 You just said youre as good as your last game. Newcastle were bloody good in their last game. Better than us in our last game. Theyre better than us. I said performance, not game.

Ah right, youre the better team on the basis you have one good player. How do you compare everyone in a group if they havent played each other? You cant. And if you think there is any argument you can use that Wales are better than England, all i can do is lol lol lol
Donut Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 I said performance, not game. Oh right. Our performance in drawing with Russia was very good. So therefore we are very good then?
GaelicFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Oh right. Our performance in drawing with Russia was very good. So therefore we are very good then? Cop on that's a dire Russian team Villa would wipe them out England need to beat Wales Pressure is on !!!!!
