Offering the latest information on Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 football. Mostly @cymru national team related.

Rob Page will become only the second Rhondda-born manager of Wales, 56 years after the first - Jimmy Murphy.

Murphy, famous for leading Wales to the '58 World Cup, managed Wales for 8 years between 56-64 & holds legendary status at Manchester Utd for being a world-class coach.

Adore the incredibly biased S4C commentary during Wales' Euro 2016 run. God bless you, Malcolm Allen. Cymru am byth.

This is my starting line up for Switzerland.

Neco Williams just edges it over Connor Roberts.

Morrell has done enough to warrant his place over Ampadu IMO.

Ward’s performance against France has earned his spot.

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

Gunter v Mbappe
Mepham v Griezmann
Rodon v Benzema
Allen v Rabiot
Morrell v Pogba

In for a cracker 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My 26-man @Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 squad for @EURO2020

Anyone missing that you would definitely pick?

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

@PodcastPeldroed @Mared_Rhys Rodon will have the armband after Bale mind

[Owain Tudur Jones @OwainTJones17]

Lot of talk this last week about our Euro opponents, Italy, Turkey & Switzerland being bang in form. But our recent record reads as...

Won 11
Drawn 4
Lost 2 (vs England & Belgium) with 11 clean sheets

That’s impressive! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

BRING ON THE EUROS & QATAR WE WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

**HOPEFUL CALCULATION**

If we win both games against Belarus and Estonia, as well as beating Czech Rep away, and assuming Belgium win all of their remaining games...

It would come down to the very last game in Cardiff (w/ fans?) against Belgium to determine who qualifies 🙃

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

@PodcastPeldroed That argument works both ways though doesn’t it, so filters down to club football where there is only one winner...

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

Can someone explain to me how does Joe Rodon not start every game for Spurs?

Considering the lad has hardly played regular football in the past few months, his performances have been on a totally different level.

Imagine how much he’d improve under a proper coach at Spurs 😬

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

@Colemans_Dream I hope not because Hennessey is a much better keeper and deserves to return in goal

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

@Colemans_Dream Why? Ward didn’t exactly perform against Belgium and Hennessey did well against Mexico

@Dai_Doniol I agree on Lawrence, but considering it was 3-4-3 again against Mexico, I imagine it will be much of the same.

Great predicament to have with Wilson/Moore, both scoring as well. Likely that Wilson is going to start again, no reason not to in the DJ/HW/GB front three.

[Behind the Goal @behindthegoal16]

James Lawrence back in the squad ✅
Cabango aka ‘The Wall’ looking excellent ✅

Does this mean a back three of Cabango, Rodon, Lawrence tomorrow?

Matt Smith has not harmed his chances of starting ahead of Morrell after his performance.

Does Moore start after scoring again?
