Mexico have named their strongest side (afaik) for Chris Gunter's pathetic little 100 cap testimonial friendly. Could be funny.

Mexico are really poo poo to lose to our second string players in positions drawn from a hat.

Soucek and Kieffer Moore on the pitch and it's wee Dan James scoring the winning header.

We were poo poo until it was 10 v 10.

Our players threw a lot of elbows in that game. Connor Roberts eventually got sent off for one.

Not sure Kudela was singled out, maybe Czechs all look the same to them idk

Rubin Colwill has been called up for Wales 26 man Euros squad. He's 18 and started like 3 games for Cardiff, all since they had nothing to play for. Not played for the u21s or u19s before this.

I saw him play for their u23s in January and he was brilliant, though. Not like Dylan Leitt and Matt Smith are world-beaters among our midfield options.

Owen Beck is the new Neco Williams, can't wait to see his career stagnate in Liverpool's reserves until he's 22 and someone buys him for £15m.

Netherlands u21s smashing Wales' to bits. £9m right back on as sub. Should be laws against it.

5-1 to Wales, Second in the group with Belgium to come Tuesday. They've already got a play off place if they can stay second in the group they'll get a home play off.

That goal conceded is going to cost us. Apart from Neco and Big Joe we were poo poo.

Page must go (and will when Giggs is finally convicted).

Yeah, that goal was lovely. But Wales have had decent results against Belgium at home, if they can manage a draw then Wales are golden.

Who do you want instead of Page?

Anyone. He wasn't even a good u21s manager for us.

for as much money as norway spends on talent development and as popular football is in this country, we don't produce a lot of elite players. if we compare to denmark, only haaland is really better than any alternative the danes have and i'd say that maybe three of the rest would even be considered for denmark. critically, norway lacks a decent goalkeeper. you'd think one of the tallest countries in the world would not have this as such a glaring weak spot, but there you are

And Haaland is English.

Too many of your kids learn to play on plastic indoor pitches because even in summer it's too cold up north.

Silver lining it means no headlines about Bale rescuing us from journos that don't watch games. He was awful apart from the penalty.

Not sure old Gaz Baz makes my 23 for November. No room for sentiment in professional soccer.

Are they really bad now or are they still going to beat Canada 10-0 Op

The team babies Carrasco (29) and De Bruyne (31) can probably create enough between them to beat most teams.

We're all over the place so far. Looks like we're trying to man mark Witsel and leave big spaces for De Bruyne. Page out.

Wales really need to tighten up at the back, Belgium could have won that by a lot more.

The 5 at the back 2 in midfield doesn't do us any favours. Three big defenders marking no one most of the time. Then Mepham comes charging out to kick someone and the shape is in ribbons.

Wales losing to a goal from an MLS striker. Bodes well for the World Cup.

Hopefully Cabango isn't playing in the tournament. We did alright considering half our first team was injured or suspended, and Bale was on the pitch.

We'll have a good squad for the next Euros if Page has the balls to cull the old guard after Qatar.
