I'm listening to Wales on the radio, the atmosphere sounds amazing!

Same here. The commentators are sounding a bit nervous at the moment. Fingers crossed for Wales.

I'm trying to persuade the duchess that we should tour France to coincide with the games...

Although I have no sympathy for the Netherlands national team, having Turkey at the Euros is quite unpalatable too. Their diving and rolling around is nauseating.

We've just had the perfect example of how utterly useless the officials behind the goals are. Stonewall penalty not given for a handball right in front of one of them.

Same for the Israeli team. Absolutely pathetic. They're all making miraculous recoveries from what initially appears to be total agony.

3-0 to the Turks. Oranje drop to 4th place in their group, with 2 matches to play. It's going to be hard to qualify now :-)

Wales, so tense, next time...

It would be so Wales to f**k this up now.

Bosnia should beat them at home but with Andorra being their final game it will take a miracle.

Sorry I can't express this better but it sounded like Wales were trying too hard to deliver what the script demanded? Too much expectation at the City Ground? What's your view please?

I was so moved by the singing, but Spud you must put your crystal ball away please.

I know! :-). I should've backed my hunch with a bet!

Netherlands are so bad.

Just couldn't breakdown a team that wasn't interested in winning. Israel were timewasting from the get-go and rolling around at every opportunity. Tried to frustrate Wales and it worked.

This might be the worst Israel team of that last 30 years, never been a great team but always had one or two decent players over the years, now no one. I didn't watch the game because I embrace my English side when it comes to sport and there is only so much has suffering one man can take. But from your saying they used the few tools available to them and came away with the result

Pretty much, yeah. They had a couple of quick guys up front who they occasionally tried to play in, over the top, but other that, they were quite contempt to sit back and soak up pressure. 

Hazard looks really out of form...

Eden is yards off the pace.

I think Hazard must fancy the walking football that is advertised on TV.

Eden breaks Welsh hearts

OH f**k OFF EDEN

This will give Swansea another reason to give Hazard grief.

 

Ballboy kicking, Euro heartbreaking bar steward!

 

Can Wales NOT qualify, arithmetically? I hope we are not ahead of ourselves and tempting fate.

It's possible, but the odds on them failing to do so are crazy. Wales have to lose both their remaining games, Israel have to win theirs (which explains why Israel played for the draw). Can't see Wales getting a result in Bosnia (Bosnia still can make the playoffs) and even if Andorra draw in Cardiff, Wales will still qualify.

Thanks for the info - appreciated.
