You mean just like England did?

Wales have shown England exactly what is needed at tournament finals. They've delivered good football and only looked shaky in one match unlike England who struggled to score in every match.

If they play like that for the last two rounds they could win the whole thing.

Of course Wales have done well but they will get dicked when they come up against a proper team as England showed in the groups

Wales got the easy half of the draw but England could have had that if they'd topped the group by not arrogantly p*ssing about with the lne up and played their best 11 in each game.

And Iceland was the easiest team to play out of all 16, we piss over teams like that on a regular basis normally yet on the day San Marino looked more likely to score than we did.

Agree. IF England had topped the group they'd have played Northern Ireland who have beaten England in the past too.

Anyway, how has this become a thread about England failings. We should be celebrating the Welsh success.

Theres definitely a lack of enthusiasm for the Welsh achievement on the forum. Imagine if it had been England in the semis? I dread to think how some Fm's would be gloating.

england were and are one of the weakest teams in the euros

Them russia and ukraine were the worst

I would put england (in english league terms) perhaps like a Charlton or Rotherham. A semi decent basement Championship team

They have zero chance of ever achieving what Wales have done

not in out lifetimes that is for sure

In terms of home teams at the mo they are the worst home nation

I would say

Wales
Scotland/NI
Ireland

England

Its gonna be interesting to see who gets the England job and the level of arrogance they bring to the job. This team performance is without a doubt worse than the world cup two year ago. Yet going in many people thought England actually stood a chance. Where does that level of arrogance and delusion come from?

However, Scotland aren't much better to be fair. They're certainly not better than Rep of Ireland at the moment anyway.
