An outstanding display by the whole Wales team and a superb result in some pretty torrid conditions... :notworthy:

Gareth Bale as good as I've seen him in recent times and he allowed others to play their part... :clap:

Did you see how many of the opposition had names ending in ZU. It did seem like Turks drift at times and we won again.

Honestly. 5 nil wouldn't have flattered us there! Maybe even more. Shooting practice please Rob!
We don't half make hard work of it some times!

Re: Wales beat Turkey " Euro 2020 topic "

Calmed down a bit now :lol:


One more game tonight and it's in our group as Italy play Switzerland in Rome. Kicks off at 8pm.


I think the best result for us would be an Italy win by a few goals.

Would obviously much rather finish second than be one of the best third placed teams. Likely to play Russia, Finland or Denmark if we finish second but we'd face a group winner if one of the best third placed teams.

Chris was a strange performance by him? We said at home he'll put pen over bar he seemed to be out if sorts in some respects....but then he showed why he's world class with some unbelievable passes and then those two last minute plays at corners who else would think of that Really glad we have him.. :thumbup:

Italy just had a goal disallowed by VAR.

They're dominating at the moment.

Re: Wales beat Turkey " Euro 2020 topic "

Wed Jun 16, 2021 7:27 pm

Italy take the lead now.

Locatelli gets the goal, a brilliant team goal.

Would be a big ask, but if we did (assuming Italy win tonight) then we'd top the group and play whoever finishes second in the Holland, Austria, Ukraine, North Macedonia group.



2-0 Italy. Locatelli again.

Brilliant goal.

Re: Wales beat Turkey " Euro 2020 topic "

Italy win 3-0 against Switzerland. They grabbed a late third through Immobile.

Italy are the first team to progress to the last 16, and they will win the group if they avoid defeat against us.


Final games are on Sunday at 5pm as we play Italy in Rome and Turkey play Switzerland in Baku.


In reality, our four points will almost certainly be enough to be at least one of the four best third placed teams - but we have a good chance of finishing second in the group.

Turkey can't catch us.

If we don't lose to Italy or if Switzerland don't win, we're guaranteed to finish 2nd (if we win then we'll finish 1st).

If we lose to Italy and Switzerland beat Turkey then Switzerland will need a five goal swing to finish above us.



1 Italy - 6pts - GD+6
2 Wales - 4pts - GD+2
3 Switzerland - 1pts - GD-3
4 Turkey - 0pts - GD-5

What a great performance that was, we could have been out of sight by half time :occasion5:.

That late Italy goal could have done us a huge favour too.

Re: Wins for Wales, Italy and Russia " Euro 2020 topic "

If we win we top the group.
If we draw we come second.
To come third we need more than a 5 goal swing with Swiss. e.g. They win 3 nil, we lose 3-0.

In a good place this morning!

Put KM on penalty duty. He takes them for his club and seems quite confident.

First game of today gets underway at 2pm in Bucharest as Ukraine play North Macedonia.

Ukraine lost their first game 3-2 against Holland.

North Macedonia also lost their first game, 3-1 against Austria.


Big game for both of them.

Ukraine take the lead against North Macedonia.

Yarmolenko gets his second goal of the tournament.

Yaremchuk makes it 2-0 to Ukraine.

North Macedonia get a goal back.

Alioski misses his penalty but scores the rebound.

Re: Ukraine v North Macedonia underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Thu Jun 17, 2021 2:57 pm

Ukraine win 2-1 against North Macedonia, despite Malinovskyi missing a late penalty for them.

Ukraine now join Holland and Austria on three points. North Macedonia still have no points and will be eliminated if the game between Austria and Holland later finishes in a draw or a Holland win - due to the fact that Austria and Ukraine beat them so they can't catch them due to the head to record being against them.



Next game today gets underway at 5pm in Copenhagen as Belgium play Denmark.

Belgium won 3-0 against Russia in their first game and Denmark lost 1-0 against Finland.

Finland and Russia played their second game yesterday, and Russia won 1-0.


This means Belgium will go through if they win today.

I thought goalie as to have at least one foot on line for pens? Today and other day that didn't happen or doesnt apply in euros?

That's to avoid giving the goalkeeper an unfair advantage if he interferes with play. So if he was off his line and saved it then it would be retaken but if it's scored then obviously the advantage didn't help him enough. Likewise, the Turkish goalie could've been standing behind Bale for his penalty taken yesterday but because he didn't interfere with play and stop the ball going in (because it was off target) then it doesn't get retaken.
