Wales 3 Cyprus 1

[ifanew]

Good win by Wales, granted against a poor side but a win all the same. Could have and should have been more goals had the ref been any good. Some very good individual performances, particularly by Koumas, Davies and Bale, but more importantly by our inspirational captain, he was everywhere, ran his socks off unselfishly set up the goal for Ernie and scored a very decent one himself, quite rightly voted Man of the Match.

 

Lets hope he keeps it going, particularly against Blackburn.

Never seen so many teenagers in a side either. Looked like the under-19s in defence.

 

Some good footy being played too.

Bring 'em on in Croke Park. I'll feel quite justified in telling Craig Bellamy how much I didn't like him.

Hope Belly bangs 27 in against the Oirish

27? I bet you he doesn't.

27? I bet you he doesn't.

 

I suspect you'd be right!

 

But if he did - you'd be happy because that would be good for Liverpool wouldn't it?

No because Steve Finnan is in our defence

Good point!

Really enjoyed that.

 

Sign Bale is the new Sign Gabbidon.

Considering their respective results last weekend, and the inexperience of the Welsh (especially in defence), I thought they played good open football, kept the ball moving, were not afraid to pass and move and Bellamy gave a great performance. Toshack and Evans have definitely encouraged them to be confident with the ball with the knowledge that they have pace up front.

heard Hughes tonight saying he was a model pro at blackburn and no trouble at all
