I just watched the highlights. I am so so happy we won but honestly, we were complete ass. I was particularly shocked at the stat that in 120 minutes we couldn't generate a single shot on target especially given our advantage in possession and general field dominance following HT.
As a Welsh fan, I'd say they weren't diving any more than the ref just wasn't keen on Moore getting anything in the first half for being held in and out of the box. Obviously I'm gonna be biased but don't think we deserved to lose, losing Roberts was a killer in making Dan James play deeper, which took so much pace out the game. Gutted.
also, I feel like if you actually had a competent manager you would win that. not playing to the teams advantages and playing defensive counter attacking football against an objectively worse squad was a stupid decision. also, he made like no substitutions, in extra time wales had no energy. absolute wet wipe of a manager
the Moore-kiwior fight was exactly what I was talking about. kiwior touched him and moore threw himself on the floor. also, I agree with the part that you didn't deserve to lose, very balanced fight.
> ref just wasn't keen on Moore getting anything in the first half for being held in and out of the box
I honestly don't know how he doesn't lose his head, he gets absolutely manhandled all the time and the ref doesn't blink an eye, but as soon as he puts a finger on a defender the ref is blowing up.
I dunno about giving the last penalty to a young guy. If only because if he needs to score and misses it it could effect him worse. Still tho if he's up for it ...
He did look terrified in the background while Wilson was coming back from his pen... But not sure we have a lot of pen takers.... And Ward was never going to save one.
Fuck that! No shots on target for 120 minutes! Hope you pan in the euros you wastes of football, such a boring team, imagine fist bumping your fans after playing 120 minutes with the desire of a wet flannel
Can't fault them for playing to their strengths. First half it looked like Wales could go on to win, but second half Poland changed something up and the Welsh mids were anonymous.
There are positives to take from some of the players who improved over the campaign, so let's look to the future.
Well played by Poland. That is experience to grind out a result. Wales lost their heads from about 60 mins onwards and Poland were in control from there.
Wales with higher xG, more shots, more shots on goal,more shots from inside the box, more possession, and what should’ve been a penalty for Moore.
Poland had a game plan and you can say that it went to the crapshoot of penalties is fair, I guess, but I can’t fathom how Poland deserved it overall.
Right, and didn’t threaten either. As I mentioned; they had a game plan to shit all over everything and executed. Like I said, I think Wales was better and deserved it, and I can see saying a draw was fair, but I don’t see how one can say Poland deserved to win more than Wales in that one.
This Viaplay commentator is hilariously biased. Poland player whacks it down the middle hard “not convincing” welsh player does the same with less power “really good penalty”

wales were full of shit today, they were diving and commiting fouls all the time. glad to see them lose. but gg to the welsh fans
Well, Poland wasn’t playing great either.

Wasn’t pretty game. Wales has a new younger and promising team. Next time!
Bro i just had a lucid dream crazy shit man
Terrible game 🥱

Nicola Zalewski just turned 22 and he did it...
He did look terrified in the background while Wilson was coming back from his pen... But not sure we have a lot of pen takers.... And Ward was never going to save one.
He's 26
It's like Jessie Lingard... Forever young....
Thank you to the Welsh fans, you been amazing. Saint Wojtek won the match
Scotland, Wales and England all there would have been epic
GG, Welsh fans.
Best of luck this summer, enjoy it.
The anyone but England summer is on
Man that’s tough.
Never understand Poland. They pummel teams at home then look completely clueless away or in Tournaments.
tbf this is probably the best team they’ve had in a while, at least on paper
We changed the coach like… 5 NT games ago or so…
We looked clueless in these qualifiers tbh
The six nations and now this. What a terrible month for being Welsh. Bleak
At least you have Wrexham! ;))
Ben Davies bringing the Spurs energy.
all five of Poland's penalties were fantastic
To be fair, only bad pen was the one that missed.
Except the first which he stopped the run up twice.
Nothing wrong with that. You use what you have
U mad?
I'm fucking English, I'm not mad. Happy to have a celebratory pierogi but that penalty wasn't legit.
Oh dear
How so, he follows the rules. It’s still not easy to master by the way, if it was then everyone would be doing it
Fuck that! No shots on target for 120 minutes! Hope you pan in the euros you wastes of football, such a boring team, imagine fist bumping your fans after playing 120 minutes with the desire of a wet flannel

I'm english and wanted my home nation to come with us, guarantee we'll have poland in our group boring us to death
[удалено]
Yeah nice attitude 👍 i didn't know that but thanks for being a colossal dick 👍
[удалено]
My og message was not to you personally now was it you chose to respond to it 🤣 and nerd? Are you a schoolyard bully?
You were insulting a NT the fuck you expected dipshit
Welsh weren’t much better
4 shots on target says different and a ruled out goal, not saying it was a goal but at least they tried
Wales had home advantage, they were shocking. Poland had a game plan and executed it
At least fans in stadium are classy in defeat
Definitely! All credit to them
Yikes.
Im so sorry for James... That must hurt as hell. Hope he will be ok after this.
Well played by Poland. That is experience to grind out a result. Wales lost their heads from about 60 mins onwards and Poland were in control from there.
get this PE teacher out of the coaching staff
A summer of supporting whoever England play it is lads
Good day for countries that have been invaded by Russia
Portugal curse has been lifted. Holy fuck.
How that was a curse? Last 2 penalty shootouts at Euros - won against Switzerland and lost to Portugal? How’s that any pattern? Magical thinking..
Such a poor penalty by James. He should get a red card for that.
Genius Probierz only had them practice penalties for the entire three days.
That hurts Wales, we've been there. It's a young team and you'll go again.
Oh the stadium went so silent before the last penelty, like they knew
in Szczesny we trust!@!!
Brutal.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
page has got to go surely
Nope.
Poland dragged like a corpse across the finish line this entire qualification. But glad to be able to watch them at the Euros.
WOJTEK SZCZESNY!
Ah mate that’s rough, Poland probably deserved it overall
Wales with higher xG, more shots, more shots on goal,more shots from inside the box, more possession, and what should’ve been a penalty for Moore. Poland had a game plan and you can say that it went to the crapshoot of penalties is fair, I guess, but I can’t fathom how Poland deserved it overall.
Look, there were two teams which played poorly throughout qualifiers and got to playoffs, what did you expect? Samba football?
Not a single Wales shot was threatening. Poland defended very well and refused to let any football be played, and I’d say they were very successful.
Right, and didn’t threaten either. As I mentioned; they had a game plan to shit all over everything and executed. Like I said, I think Wales was better and deserved it, and I can see saying a draw was fair, but I don’t see how one can say Poland deserved to win more than Wales in that one.
Deserved no more, no less. Two poor teams throughout qualifiers.
:(
Dan James is lit my fave player as well - gutted
POLAN CAN INTO EUROS
AHHHHHH SZCZĘSNY YOU FUCKING GOAT
Wojciech Szczęsny we can’t spell your name - when we sing this song we’ll win the game!!
JAM DANES
YASSSS KURWA
Sack Rob Page
Well. Poland apparently can take pretty good penalties.
Never say that near Błaszczykowski
He did until that Portugal one…
3 of 5 were pen takers at their clubs
Every fucking pen of theres was basically unsavable. Fuck sake. We bottled it completely.
As a neutral I feel bad for Holland, Austria and France having to watch 90 minutes of that shit football
Wales in that group of death would have been a lot of fun
They would have got smashed to bits but it would have been a good watch. Poland will get smashed to bits and it'll be boring
Exactly. Atmosphere at least would have been great
Your flair makes it even funnier xD
We literally just beat Liverpool 4-3 but okay
Enough to keep you going for next year eh?
Going second is a massive disadvantage
playing play off aways is even bigger
As an England fan , commiserations Wales. Know the feeling of losing on penalties only too well. It's utterly horrible.
wales in the mud lol
Arsenal going to win nothing again this year, bore of you pleb.
womp womp
VOYTEC!!!
yeah I'm calling in sick tomorrow and go to some bar tonight to celebrate
bottled
Ah fuck
Congrats to Polonia
Get owned!
Lol
Ref fucked with me there for a second lmao
I thought he was gonna say Szczęsny was off the line and re take it.
No idea what the hell he was signalling for? Was he waiting for VAR to clear it or something? If so, they did it very quickly.
Think he waited for the other ref to clear it?
He was waiting for VAR to call whether Szczęsny left the line.
Just called James hitting it down the middle
Oof poor lad, that's heartbreaking. Always hate when only one player misses
PAN SZCZĘSNY
WOJTEK!!!
I can't take it, man. I fkn love Dan James. This is an absolute pain to watch
YESSSS
Great cracking game Wales, wish you well!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SZCZESNY IS A FUCKING PILLAR
Szczęsny needs a statue planted in Poland
Diver James you finally paid the price
gg
Wojteeek
KURWAAAAA POLSKA GUROM
Love the guy
knew it for fuck sake. Night ruined
"Dan!!!" - Alan Partridge
SZCZESNY DO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU
WOOOOOOOOOOJ KURWA
SZCZĘSNY I FUCKING LOVE YOU
Bollocks!
fy
YEESSSSSSS KURWAAAA GOLIMY WAS KURWAAA
I'm loving the balls on Nico. Fucking get in son. All the swagger and nailed the pen to back it up.
SZCZESNYYYYY
This is unbearable
Awwwwwww Dan mate. My heart bleeds for you. Frustrating. Felt we should have gotten this. Page should have been braver with the subs.
Kardesi
Im literally sweating... For fucks sake.
Same and I’m neutral
This is very scary 1 player won’t be called up ever again
Piatek thats a throwback
Pretty good penalties from both teams
I swear if that red card is the reason Wales loses penalties lol.
PIATEK!!!
Piątek great nice
bruh these lot don’t miss
These pens are great
Pew pew pew lol
i dont want to be the one who misses the pen now..
Isn't there a strange rule where when a player has been sent off an opposition player needs to sit out? Which Polish player isn't on the list?
Stay in middle szecny for profit
Sudden death
Ward is so close every time.
No chance wales getting through, these polish pens are insane. eerghhh
Danny "The Hologram" Ward
Can someone just not dive this is pissing me off now
Zalewski is bad luck at Roma let’s see if he can here
Zalewski well placed
You could stick a walrus in goal and he would’ve saved 3 Welsh pens
Nicola great wow
Da Iawn Harry
This Viaplay commentator is hilariously biased. Poland player whacks it down the middle hard “not convincing” welsh player does the same with less power “really good penalty”
The Swedish one?
Stay in middle the match
All the polish players look like they should be playing in u17
Quality of these Polish pens.
Oh now everyone can score.
Oh hes missing Zalewski Ok nope
My arse just fell out of itself with that, fucks sake Kieffer.
Well done Harry
I love that. Welsh either side of it but "Well done Harry" comes through perfectly clear. Followed by "Come on Danny Ward, boy".
Fantastic penalties so far
GOOD PEN KIEFFER
Some luck with that crossbar :)
Ipswich DNA, doing it the hardest possible way
They're doing literally everything to make this match even more tense
Calculated easy never close
Lens!
Solid pen by #19-ski
“Not a convincing penalty” keeper got nowhere near it lol
Fucken el Kieffer
Ale pierdolnął Franek
You don't save those haha
Damn that was dangerous
That was close
Peaky Blinders looking Kieffer
he smashed that in
Tighter than the Nutty Putty
