As team we play well, the players work hard for each other. We have Ashley Williams organising the defence, Ramsey in Mdfield, but the big difference will always be Bale, he's our only player who can consistently score goals (with Ramsey chipping in sometimes).

yeah you lot have decent players throughout but i think you rely on the big names too much and need to work harder as a unit like when Ramsey was missing vs Sweden they beat you 3-0 there was no engine in that team and of course Bale is the key player who has to step up in this tournament

Game essentially being billed as Bale vs. Hamsik.

Swiss - Albania game is pretty good. Few lapses in concentration from both sides but generally decent quality. Refereeing better than last night as well which is nice.

yeah but i reckon that red card has ruined the game.. Their striker is going to be so isolated and when they try and get up they will be prone in a counter attack against an attacking Swiss swide

and Bale>hamsik obviously but both teams have decent players around it just depends who wants it more

The issue is the difference between the players is huge, we have guys like Bale and Ramsey, mixed with championship players. So the teams organisation and work rate is going to be important, just to allow Bale and Ramsey do their thing. When it comes to attack, we are too reliant on them, but tbh, I think most teams would look to a player like Bale to lead their attack. (E.g Ibrahimovic for Sweden, Ronaldo for Portugal etc)

This, absolutely this.

And lots of people think this means that we value 'tackling and running' too much over skill and craft, when they're not mutually exclusive at all! I still want our players to show their skill, but just work their socks off and get us off to a good start.

Cant blame the ref for Cana's stupidity.

yeah thats the main problem everyone has to step up

And those 3 teams are pretty much 1 man (Wales,Sweden,Portugal) even though they have decent players like Larsson and the portugal teams is very good man for man but Ronaldo always seems frustrated the rest dont try as hard
