You're taking a penalty in one of the biggest matches of the season against your biggest rivals, scoring this gets you way close to the title, missing this will leave you at the whim of the other 5 clubs in the playoffs who are doing better than you. You better take this one something fierce.

You lost three players to barely scrape by Anderlecht and still only end up in third place with one match up, congrats.

You're shifting the goalposts, which Kujovic will want to do once even Lokeren accidentally stumble through your paper defence to score ten goals

I am pretty confident most football leagues outside of bundesliga, la liga, serie a and the EPL would be able to make a highlight video like that. The A league is no better or worse than league 1 quality football.

The way this is worded makes me think that everyone in Wales knows "Frank the Caretaker". Or that he's Frank, the Caretaker of Wales.

When I think A-League, I think about Emile Heskey-cam. I feel like that's a pretty accurate summation of what they've got going on down under

My cousin's children are being taught at a bilingual school in Northern Wales and are tested in some subjects in Welsh. There are also some wild parts of north Wales where english isn't the recognised common language.

Not much in the cities, but in the more rural parts definitely.

I've got a GCSE in it but can barely speak a word now. Can sing the anthem but that's about it.

Yeah. Loads in North and West Wales. Not much around in the South, where the bigger cities are though. In Cardiff there are about 100 primary schools, with 15 being Welsh language.

Welsh speaking footballers: Joe Allen, Ben Davies, Owain Tudur-Jones, Owain Fon-Williams, Aaron Ramsey (although I don't think he gives Welsh interviews anymore, he's gotten pretty rusty since his school days). And Big John Hartson and Malcolm Allen are both Welsh language commentators/pundits on S4C.

The national rugby side has much more Welsh speakers. WWE superstar Mason Ryan is first language Welsh too.
