World Cup 2022 Qualifiers

It's the difference in atmosphere. 

 

To sell out the Mill Stadium, they need to pull in a certain type of fan which isn't going to help the atmosphere - when they played the likes of Brazil etc there, they'd just have people there to watch Brazil. They'd also have to give away significant amount of away tickets. 

 

Pitch is ripped up at the mo anyway for the summer concerts

 Very true. Day trippers essentially 

[Raj]

Is this  one leg play off or 2?

If one, why isn't it at a neutral venue?

 

If its 2, where will the 2nd leg be played?

[Paninistickers]

Ukraine look 2 or 3 levels above the Taffs 

 

Zinchenko in midfield looks an interesting player compared with him at left back

 

Edit. That aged well

1 leg.

 

Just the way the draw was done.

 

Could have easily been Ukraine drawn at home.

1 - Wales have the earned the right to host it as they had the better playing record in the qualifying groups. 

 

Ukraine are playing their home Nations League games in Poland

Goal! Yarmolenko deflects Bale's free kick into the goal. 

 

Tyler says he has the 'magic touch'

Was seeded. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Loved that roar then. 
 

The Welsh national anthem was spine tingling. I noticed earlier that all 4 stands were stood, even on the front row. 
 

Kind of jealous when we’re usually forced to play at Wembley 

[HybridFox]

Quality finish that 

[StanSP]

That looks a penalty. Allen clearly kicks Yarmolenko. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Clear penalty.

 

Honestly what’s the point in VAR? 
 

This is being manipulated maan 

[StanSP]

Surprised it wasn't checked, or ref to be asked to check. 

[Paninistickers]

Ref is superb imo. Var wasn't his fault. His general reffing is outstanding tho

Very odd decision 

[Arkie Bennett]

James running into opponents to claim free kicks.

[Muzzy_no7]

Dan James on a yellow and has since dived twice.

 

This is being manipulated maaaaaan

He's not dived. He's just ran into the opposition player expecting a free kick.

[purpleronnie]

So far so good.  Ukraine look hopeless upfront.

He has dived its just that said dives have taken him flying into other players. 

[StanSP]

What a miss from Ramsey.

[moore_94]

Ramsey with a big miss from 12 yards again...

[Jaspa]

How is that goal off a deflected free-kick being classed as an own goal?

 

It was on target, surely.

Didn't look like it was going on target. 

[walkerleeds]

Will be a travesty if Wales go through here.
