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

    That is very harsh to see last 16 with that bunch of players as failure
    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.

    Real Madrid certainly did a good job of breaking Bale.
    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 Wales

    Suspect he will retire after next year’s WC
    I will add to that. Ronaldo will too.
    Just realised that is only next year.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Sure owning an alfa would give one an ingrained hatred of Italy?

    I know that owning an MG has made me.prejudiced against Brummies.

    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.

    me and you W, its us against everyone else.

    I've just worked it out watching Italy vs Austria -

    its not the England team, its Wembley.

    For some reason it makes everyone look like pub teams.

    is it your rubbish english light/grass/signage?

    Outstanding stat that there have been zero goals scored from free kicks.
    So far.

    Left legged haggis are harder to catch, unless you are a leftie as well.

    Yup. When they scurry off anticlockwise I'm one of the few who can catch them.

    Italy look average this second half - I've got 3 of them in my fantasy team FFS.
