    England tore that Ukraine team a new arsehole in the euros. Since then they’ve gone unbeaten in a group containing France and took apart Scotland at Hampden. I think they beat Wales.

    Scotland as poor as I expected they would be. Congratulations to Ukraine though. Thoroughly deserved regardless of the wider situation. No offence to Wales but I hope and expect them to be seen off in similar fashion.

    Will be interesting to see what Bale does if Wales get beat.
    I can see him retiring.

    In a small way Id prefer to face Ukraine than either Scotland or Wales - This comment will bite me hard on the arse later in the year I know... But feel a home nation will be happy with a draw, and the game will be rougher.

    Bit like the Scotland game last summer. 

    Ukraine I suspect will give us a challenge, which we'll be happier with like what we equally showed in Rome. 
  • Zinchenko has been different class. Every time he gets the ball he just calms things down, so relaxed on the ball, amazing footwork too.
    Looked very good playing in his natural position. He's certainly better there than left back where City always play him.

    He isn't a left back. He's a decent player and City are good enough that 99% of the time it doesn't matter...

    Wales vs Ukraine @ 5pm today, on both ITV and SKY

    Only Cuba and Indonesia have waited longer for a second appearance at the World Cup Finals than Wales.

    Come on Ukraine!

  • Anyone know why Wales are playing it at Cardiff City and not the Millenium stadium? Surely they could've sold that out for this.

    I’d imagine Bale will retire if Wales lose today. If they win i can see him signing somewhere just to stay in the Wales World Cup squad

    Thats gotta be a penalty for Ukraine

    A little theatrical from their player, but its still a foul surely?

    After Joe Allen Yellow card, and Dan James shouted Fuck off right in the face of the Ref after a couple of minutes he was lucky it was this ref and only got a yellow card. It doesn't feel like it's going to be Ukraine's day. Just not getting the rebounds of Hennessey.

    Christ I hope Wales dont score first if we face them in Qatar

    They've deserved more than one tonight, but are so well organised in defence
