6ft Kerplunk Yep, Wales had the better chances. Ramsey and Bale really should have scored and finished the game off.
Will be interesting to see which club gives Bale a six month pre-world cup training camp.



Very likely to join Cardiff City imo.


It makes sense.....and yet it doesn't. The Championship is way more physical, and players get away with more. Definitely a higher risk of injury....not what he or Wales will want.


I think he will pick and chose his games if he goes to Cardiff.

Gutted

What a great match and a great atmosphere

We were easily the better side, but Hennessey

We were in the corner just by the flag

Props to Bale for coming over and applauding us and the Ukrainian players

You were unlucky Uke. No doubt about that. Your boys played some lovely stuff but missed an out and out striker
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere

As he should, think he will end up being kicked to pieces in the Championship. If on average he were to play every other game between now and the World Cup that would be great preparation for him in terms of the World Cup and great for Cardiff too. If I were him I wouldn't be playing any club games between mid October and the start of the World Cup, just not worth it considering his injury record.

Would Cardiff want such a part-time player though even if he says he'll play for free. Is it too much of a disruption having him dipping in and out of the team as and when he feels like it? Bet he'll decide to play against us and score a hattrick if he does.

If you look at it from a commercial point of view then yes. They'd be a huge increase in season ticket sales and merch sales you'd think. Seems like a decent enough bloke too, would be someone for their youngsters to learn from.

Yes they would for the reasons mentioned by OMA. Loads of Bale replica shirts for a start.

How annoying was that keeper in the shootout. Just wanted to punch him?

I think it was oxf*rd excellent

Do everything you can to put players off and its worked, fair play to him and the manager for that change

Surely better then standing on the line still pointing an arm right?

Chile are still fighting Ecuador's place in Qatar - adamant that full-back Byron Castillo, who played in half of Ecuador's qualifiers, is in fact Colombian. FIFA has dismissed their complaint, but the Chilean FA say they will now take the case to CAS.

To further give proof that this was a disgraceful decision to give the world Cup to this joke country

There’s a very long list of reasons not to give the WC to Qatar but not having a very good team is not one of them

Qatar WC's General Secretary Mansoor Al Ansari:
'Whoever lifts the LGBTQ flag in the world cup, will be arrested for 7 or 11 years, we're here in an Islamic country you should respect our religion, beliefs and culture. If you want to demonstrate your view on LGBTQ then demonstrate it in a society where it will accepted"


no great shock, probably not the kind of statement FIFA want them making though

No great shock indeed, but surely Lewis Hamilton should currently be in prison, as this was his helmet design at the Qatar GP last year.





Although I guess it is ok if its the most famous person in the sport, that you've just paid 10s of millions of dollars to host, doing it.

They wouldn’t dare arrest Hamilton. They will feel much safer arresting Joe Public. Aresholes.
