Shocking defeat for Wales which ranks with their worst defeats!! Dreadful defensively, ill-disciplined by Kieffer Moore who was sent off for rash back heel. No argument Armenia were good value for their win - they could have scored more. But this was damaging enough. Ft2-4

Not an international football 'fan' but caught some of the game...

Wales looked flat and fatigued and I question the timing of such games at the end of a particularly long and arduous season where the players should (some may have been?) on the beach recovering...

Wales still have to travel to Turkey (how ironic) for another tough game, whilst our players are back training in a week or two, which shows how late these games are...

Late or not, it’s the same for other teams and other players.
It’s absolutely not an excuse for that sub-par performance we seen!

I largely agree but I feel (at least some) players heads were not in the game. Certainly no excuses but maybe reality...

I'd have been livid if I was a Wales supporter and been there... :cry:
