Wales v Belgium
« on: July 01, 2016, 16:44:19 PM »
I have never visited this forum before (although I did reply to a UBT post without coming here) and I doubt that I will do it again except on this topic. I don't really understand football; when people start talking about playing a diamond with a false nine I glaze over. However, Wales are in a quarter final again. I watched the first one in the 1958 World Cup on black and white TV. Then, like now, we had a superstar player, John Charles, who people tell me was one of the greatest footballers, perhaps the greatest, from the UK. But he was injured and couldn't play. And our opponents, Brazil, had their own superstar although nobody in Europe had heard of him before the World Cup. Some 17 year old kid called Pele who scored the decisive goal. But tonight, our modern superstar, Gareth Bale, is fit ... so come on Wales!

The best of luck to the Welsh team hope it all goes well for them tonight. Interesting this morning when all the neutral British presenters (Who can stop England) are now Welsh supporters  : :) :P :-[

Not being a football supporter myself, I would wish any U.k. Team well and would hope all British people would hope the same?

What a fantastic, spirited and skillful performance from a group of humble and likeable sportsmen.
Maybe others could learn something from this superb TEAM.

Well done Wales - proud to have a Welsh Grandma   :)  :)  :)
