Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue what all these International matches are about. The other day Scotland were playing a "play-off" match to see if they are playing in the 2020 Euros (even though the 2020 Euros are now in 2021) but then England tonight are playing a group game for some competition that they can now no longer qualify for........but qualified for the 2020 /2021 Euros ages ago. And also there are 3 games in less than a week.......wtf ? We are trying to compress a league season into a schedule that is at least a month shorter than normal & players are playing 2 games a week.

Bonkers beyond belief.
They should have cancelled the Nations Cup and all these friendlies this year but of course it's the broadcasters pulling the strings.
So that's 2 games in a row Levitt hasnt even been on the bench for Wales.
He has either picked up an injury or Robbie Page has noticed during the friendly against USA and training that he is rubbish and only gets called up because he plays for United and Giggs is a United legend.
Washington on the bench tonight, Magennis starts; the 2 seem to be alternating which is slightly odd considering they are very different types of player
Trinidad & Tobago are looking to call up Ryan Iniss (paperwork not done yet).They would have first done this March last year but for the pandemic. John Bostock also called up.

Time to start wrapping him in cotton wool. Can we send a disguised Jason Pearce instead?
Jonny Williams, Dylan Levitt and Matt Smith (2020) are also in it, but Tom Lockyer misses out having been injured at the end of the season. Tom Lawrence, Rabbi Matondo and Brennan Johnson also miss out.

Levitt and Smith preferred to Johnson and Lawrence seems strange to me . I doubt Gunter will play in the tournament . I suspect that he is going because of his experience .

It seems that the Wales hierarchy have decided that Levitt and Smith are automatic picks, because of their parent clubs.
Says a lot about the depth of their team... They dont have an Ashley Williams at the heart of their defence anymore and the likes of Ramsay and Bale arent getting any younger with no clear talent to replace either of them, instead two midfielders who havent exactly shone in either the Championship or League One
Wont be surprised if they go back to the struggling version of Wales again after this tournament.
Comments
Not surprised Gunter didn't play, but slightly concerned that Williams wasn't on the bench, unless he's being saved for the next match on Wednesday
I'd forgotten that with Hull not having 3 internationals, they lost him for this weekend's match
He should start the next match, Conor needs a rest
Bonkers beyond belief.
The issue is that as it's already stressed, it could be liable to tear.
No Dylan Levitt though

Great news
Chris Gunter is in the Wales 28 man Euro 2020 training camp
So are Jonny Williams, Dylan Levitt, Tom Lockyer and Matt Smith (2020) incidentally
No Ramos in the Spain squad for the Euros, indeed no Real Madrid players at all
Chris Gunter makes the Wales squad for the Euros

Lockyer has now been called up
