Group A: Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland

[Col city fan]

Truly awful game so far and Savage is spot on. Playing Moore is encouraging Wales to go long all the time, completely making the Welsh midfield redundant

Yes but then we won’t see any in the next 8. Ive actually been quite disappointed in the lack of players in the Euros. (Although there’s none that I think should be included). It’s just the way the fixtures have fallen has made it a very Leicester heavy start to the tournament.

To be fair Barnes, Justin, Maddison, Ricardo all had their chances ruined by injury, Evans didn’t qualify and Fofana will be an absolute star come the next Euros.

Excellent!

 

ESPN have Kasey Keller as an in-studio commentator for Euro 2020.  Good to see him.

 

But not so good hearing Mark Clattenburg as co-comm piped in to offer his "insight" on every ref's call.   

 

That wide-body in the studio with Kasey and Chris Coleman is no bargain either.  She's got a deeper baritone than either of them.

Great save Wardy!

[PhillippaT]

Couldn't stop the header though... 0-1 Switzerland...

[UniFox21]

Wales defence has been poor. Embolo pushing off defenders for fun

[Finnegan]

I don't think I've yet seen Joe Rodon have a decent game for Wales.

Wales have set up totally wrong so far. You cannot come to this tournament and just sit back and try not to lose. 
Wales have some good attacking players who have shown very little so far due to the mentality and the set up

Now they must get forward and actually have a go 

[Pliskin]

Bale literally doesn’t give a shot anymore. Ambling around the field like Pogba.

Absolutely right. Lazy as fook these days 

Completely different mentality to the likes of Ronaldo who you know will be running round like a mad thing for Portugal. 
I guess that’s why Madrid want him out

Don't fancy Wales chances in this group if they don't get anything out of this one.

[Col city fan]

Yes!!! That’s more like it!!

[Manini]

Great header that 

[PhillippaT]

That was Moore like it.

[Finnegan]

The fvck are we taking Dan James off for. Has been the biggest threat. 

 

I'd have had Joe Morrell off, he's done very little. Put Rambo back there to get him on the ball deeper, Brooks up to 10 or even Bale. 

[UniFox21]

Lovely header that

Gotta say though, this should be about 5-1 tbh. 

 

If Embolo and Seferovic were competent finishers this would have been long over. 

[Nalis]

Well worked goal that.

 

Switzerland shouls have had this match dead and buried before then but fvck it Wales wont care.

I was about to say Moore looks completely out of his depth at this level (he plays in the Championship after all) then he scores. Still doesn't change that opinion. Even Robson Kanu was better.

I have no idea why Page took James off! Tired legs, give James the ball to run at em!

Sorry pal but this is a load of rubbish from someone that doesn't watch Wales play (I can't blame you, I wouldn't if I didn't have to.)

 

Moore has already scored more in, what, eighteen months of an international career than HRK ever has.

 

Kanu have us to of the most important goals in our history and I'll always be thankful for that goal vs Belgium but he's otherwise complete muck. 

 

Moore is exactly what you think he is, an old school lanky target man. But he gives us a dimension that you don't usually see at this level and he means we've always got a chance to knick goals, even when Bale and Ramsey are inevitably injured and there's absolutely no creativity in the team. 

 

We wouldn't even be at this tournament if it wasn't for lumping it long to Moore.

Wales have looked completely different since they’ve had a proper go
