Could not agree more. This is why Wales has always done so well on the world stage at rugby. It is the belief of the fans that helps carry the players.
I have seen the opposite in France where the country has not been behind their team !!
One can never under-estimate the power of good supporters. Hence why teams generally do better on home ground.
Every supporter who shouts and cheers makes a difference, and in my opinion even if you are not at the match. I will not cheer on wales without putting on a red shirt and my welsh socks on,even if I am thousands of miles away supporting them :-o
Mum is English as are a couple of my best mates. Also I lived in somerset and cornwall for a good few years and when in Wales the english were my next door neighbour
What is the difference between the invisible man and the welsh football team ?
You have got more chance of seeing the invisible man in the finals
Gareth Southgate is known for being very strict and won’t stand any nonsense. In the group stages, he caught two fans climbing over the stadium wall and was very angry with them. He grabbed them and said: “Get back in there and watch the game until it finishes!”.
During this years european cup tournament, the scottish team visited a local orphanage. “It was heart-breaking to see their sad little faces with no hope,” said David, age 6.
Anyone else got any topical jokes for the tournament ?

Thanks for that Jamie! Still chuckling after 5 minutes.
The fact that Ukraine have got this far means that they can play some decent footy and certainly should be taken seriously. Any team that has got this far is capable of going further. Like most people,I would imagine that England should be able to win it and that makes the Ukraine lads the underdogs which is the place to be as there is less pressure coming from expectation. That often evens things out !!
It reports that the Italian government have asked UEFA to cancel all tickets to tonights game that were sold to UK residents and UEFA have done so.
I understand that if fair enough for people who have not quarantined as required, but there will be for example English folk who are working qyite legally in Italy who are vaccinated and have complied with all quarantine requirements.
To cancel these peoples tickets is bang out of order and must be discriminatory and racist. I hope anyone affected launches legal action.
Is it because Italy wish Ukraine to progress and to assist them by banning English suporters? I think so.
I can not cofirm if you are right or wrong with your thoughts at the end of that, but I instantly thought about all the uk citizens already on the mainland who will have gone through all the covid protocol as asked. It is indeed very unfair !
really enjoying the football , BUT NOT all the football pundits on each channel, they know exactly what needs to be done but never had the balls to take management position in the game. they Waffle on like Boris and his team ( 1st mention of Boris Peter ). i turn on 5 minutes before kick off , then a quick spiced rum and smoke at half time. Then back for the second half. I could listen to Garth Crooks & Robbie Savage all day long , but find the rest total waffle .

Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris Boris …….yah boo sucks !!!
I honestly thought I was the only one who felt that way about pundits. Some are great but some are sooooo boring. I have very much enjoyed Juergen Klinsmann and others but some, especially a woman ( not because she is a woman) really gets on my nerves so much so I listened to the games she was commentating on , switched off the Telly volume and listened on Talksport.
Congratulations to England on getting through to the semis after a well deserved win against a Ukraine side that did not lie down. A very good performance indeed. Felicitations to all you england supporters. xx
it was good to see England turn up and turn up with a view to win. Good to see Kane trying too. It was clear with the anthem that England were propally up for it.
I think if they continue to play in the same manner and cut out some of the stupid back passes that they will progress.
I know football is different from rugby but traditionally the world cup is won by the team that conceed the fewest points throughout the tournament. If its the same with football, England are in a good place.
