Can't say I'm gutted for Neco Williams 

 

 

[fleshdaddy]

Welsh tears. Delicious! 

[Vacamion]

 

The Welsh will have to support the other Home Nations, then  

 

[Lionator]

HAHAHAHAHA

Penalties are so grim. I'm usually completely dispassionate when watching football on the TV even when it's Leicester but penalty shootouts between two teams I've no investment in whatsoever make me nervous. I reckon if I had to take one I'd probably start crying

So it’s 

 

Bosnia v italy

 

Sweden v poland 

 

kosovo v turkiye

 

 Czech v Denmark 

 

for the final spaces 

 

Fingers crossed for Bosnia and Kosovo 

[Blue ROI]

Gutted after that.

 

What a missed opportunity

 

But still so refreshing to watch a performance like that after watching Leicester recently.

[RonnieTodger]

Blimey, how have they both blown that? Winning in-game and in the shootouts

[Fear Of The Fox]

Oh no. Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland are all out. What a shame. Maybe FIFA will expand the WC so 84 nations can qualify. It's going to be fantastic watching Timbuktu vs Northern Ireland. 

[KFS]

So so so good 

[MC Prussian]

Slightly gutted for Ireland and Wales. They were both the better team in extra-time.

 

I want Italy at the World Cup.

[Spudulike]

Bellamy made some comment pre-match about the World Cup needing Wales to qualify. I may be wrong but I would say they need 4 times winners Italy slightly more 

[Lionator]

Any normal country would behead the missing penalty takers then get awarded the hosting rights to the next world cup

smh

[Phil_Dunphy]

Suriname take the lead against Bolivia.

[The Bear]

I can't overstate how much I hate Gyokeres' stupid goal celebration. What an absolute tosser he looks every time he does it. 

[Super_horns]

The tournament hasn’t even started and there is already penalty shoot out heart break for one of the home nations and Ireland .

 

Both will be very disappointed after being well placed .

I'm not gonna lie mun I don't think half an hour difference is stopping the away fans getting home tonight

 

I agree I was thinking more of the travelling home fans public transport is pretty much none existent in the uk after 10pm. I know 8pm ko stopped me using public transport for matches. 

[Nalis]

Didnt want to be in the Trump World Cup anyway.....

Imagine if it's a Brazil vs Italy final. Ancelotti would be torn... 

 

Wonder how many finals have had a manager of the same nationality as their opposition.

[purpleronnie]

I find it odd that people wouldn't want the irish and welsh at the finals.  All 3 sets of fans are top notch and a great laugh.  They'd have been there in huge numbers.  The WC is worse off without them.

Yeah I'm really glad we chose to boycott I think it shows a lot of integrity from the Celtic nations.
