Where are they now?
and maybe I am not getting the irony in your question of "where are they now?" but the answer to 3 of them is Real x2 and Juventus0 -
Yup. Of course, plus all the names are familiar.surrey_commuter said:

With FM, wonderkids are a big big deal and you get to know each set from each game fairly quickly. When you start a new save, especially with a big club, they are inevitably your go-to transfer targets.

I find having a DM is critical for the tactics I play so I am intimately familiar with Declan Rice, Sandro Toneli (who has become footballer of the year in the prem 4 years in a row for me) and Marco Kana

Are you saying that playing video games gives you as good an insight into football as watching games?0 -

Denmark in complete control after the first few minutes. Struggling to see how Wales get back into this as the Danes seem to have them sussed.0

Fraid so. Set up to counter attack. Longer it goes, deeper Denmark will sit and let Wales come at them. Can't see them finding a way through a tight defence.Pross said:Denmark in complete control after the first few minutes.

And as I type, a clanger drops.0 -
Sums it up, blatant foul not given at one end and counter-attack without shocking defending concedes the goal. Have a goal check and ignore checking the blatant foul.
Game over0 -
Worst I've seen from Wales in a long time. Poor ball control, little to no threat up front and the defence looking shaky at times0
-
I had to stop watching as could not take any more Robbie Savage.
Whilst he is not as one eyed as Hartson it still got too much for me0 -
It's not that bad. Bit lacking in quality but the movement is quite good. Better than England. Low bar I'll grant you.Pross said:Worst I've seen from Wales in a long time. Poor ball control, little to no threat up front and the defence looking shaky at times

The Danes look very well organised, it's hard to believe they looked unlikely to qualify from their group going into the final round.0
-
Did they just take off a player on a hat-trick?0

I'm watching two well matched teams. Should be 1-0 with Wales probing for an equaliser. Except for what was basically an own goal. Shame.Pross said:The Danes look very well organised, it's hard to believe they looked unlikely to qualify from their group going into the final round.

I'd say two similar teams but one doing things slightly better in all aspects. Denmark are playing like 2016 Wales0

In simple terms, the most coherent team is winning, and making it look easy.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -
Hard to say that's not a fair result. The Welsh boys look like all the travel has caught up with them.
Red card for that? They've been second best in the game but several decisions have gone against them.0 -
At least Wales have managed to get a yellow and red card to go with their kit.0

Nonsense. Nothing to do with the travel. Just not their day.Pross said:Hard to say that's not a fair result. The Welsh boys look like all the travel has caught up with them.

Just embarrassing in the end.0

Well done Denmark. Deserved win.0

Don't see Page keeping the job full time after this.0

Tough in the end for Wales. No way was that a red card though.
Then the BBC ask Bale a really stupid question at totally the wrong time - just like they did to Farrell - bunch to f'wits even considering asking him just after a defeat like than.
Coupled with the injuries in the Lions match, a bad day for Wales - at least G didn't crash out of the Tour.0 -
True but I assume it would have been seen as a bit of an interview and he didn't really seem to try anything different when it was needed. Again, this may well be down to the available resources though.surrey_commuter said:

Real Madrid certainly did a good job of breaking Bale.0 -

I don’t believe anybody has broken Bale, he just is not interested in playing club football and being thick enough to believe it will not affect his form for WalesPross said:

Suspect he will retire after next year’s WC0 -
As a home and away Wales fan of many years, yes I am disappointed today but I accept the better team won with some empathy from the officials.
I think some of the more long standing players may now be at the end of the line and the ones coming through unfortunately are probably not good enough to replicate what they have achieved the last few years.
Still can't understand taking players (Rubin Colwill) who have no chance of playing whilst leaving some better options out of the squad.
Even more damming for me is that I now have to team up with Matt Falle and "support" Italy, my maternal grandmother was Italian and I have owned a lot of Alfa Romeo's.
