Played for England = Check
Been part of an unsuccessful campaign = Check
Lacks international coaching experience = Check
Lacks coaching experience = Uncheck
Seems to tick a lot of boxes.
What could go wrong?

My head says Belgium but I'm hoping we can score on the counter, their defence is nothing special.WaspInWales wrote:So, what do we think of Wales' chances later?
Belgium are a decent team with star quality players, although I certainly wouldn't rate them as #2 in the world. They're in some good form at the moment though.
Whoever wins tonight will have a superb chance of making the final as Portugal have been very ordinary.
I think it was on "They Think it's All Over" when they showed a picture of Carlton at the time of said hopscotch feat, suffice it to say I haven't seen trousers worn so highly up the body since watching "O Brother Where Art Thou"WaspInWales wrote:The man has it all!Numbers wrote:You forgot his legendary hopscotch prowess:

I missed the last Belgium game, and by the sounds of it it was the first time they got close to living up to their hype. Every time I've seen them over the last 2-3 years (including the WC) their attack has been completely ineffectual and they've struggled to score.WaspInWales wrote:So, what do we think of Wales' chances later?

It was against Hungary. Hungary's best defender is either 33 year old Juhasz, with no pace at all, or Kadar, who was rejected from Newcastle...jared_7 wrote:I missed the last Belgium game, and by the sounds of it it was the first time they got close to living up to their hype.

On paper they are a much better side, but most could say that going up against Wales. I have no doubt Wales are the better "team" though, this is certainly a winnable game.
