I found it on iPlayer, but they’re talking fucking nonsense. About 42 people speak Welsh, is there any English commentary anywhere. 

English commentary on Radio 5

(Although, fair warning, there is a squealing Welsh lady as co-commentator)

That has reminded me how God awful VAR is and how glorious it’s been this season not to have to put up with it.

 

[saintstowin]

Quite enjoying the Welsh commentary, listening out for an occasional English language word like in a Scandinavian drama. Quarterback and Southampton so far.

Consider yourself lucky only to have to listen to it for 90 minutes, I've had it put up with it for over 35 years.

Dunk is not an international footballer!

Yes he was rather exposed there. Misjudged it, should have just thumped it out.

Although I do wonder who was meant to be tracking back with Tielemans.

Mainoo is going to be a very good player

[Whitey Grandad]

I never knew that bednarek was a Welsh word meaning ‘brick shithouse’

[Turkish]

England really missing "Trent" imagine how much difference he'd have been tonight, this team needs him

[Turkish]

nor is Chillwell. Looks like Shaw is unlikely to be fit for the Euros. Left back and centre back going to cause big issues in Germany.

[trousers]

Brooks on for Wales.

not cup tied anymore?

Bednarek v Moore has been interesting. 

[Oldandtired]

Moore is ominously good in the air but he does seem to fall over a lot...

Did he handle him well? Moore worries me for our big game Monday.

Haven’t watched all the game but seemed liked Moore had the better of him. Bednarek substituted early

They're sure as hell going to have to watch him from set pieces.

[Lighthouse]

I wonder if there’s a poster on Welshweb called (Not the) Keiffer Moore.

[goodymatt]

Brooks subbed on and then subbed off, didn’t look injured?

That was a weird one, couldn’t work out from his face whether he was pissed off for being subbed on at 86 and pulled off on 112, or whether he was broken in some way

Yes odd. Played less than half an hour. Manager seemed to be apologising.

Yeah less than 30 mins on pitch. is he shit at pens?

He made an impact now wales look flat 🤷🏻‍♂️

[aintforever]

Brooks looked their most dangerous player when he was on. Odd.

[whelk]

Ward isn’t going to save any penalties is he?

[goodymatt]

So odd re Brooks but if Page was apologising that’s encouraging that it’s not an injury.

Pens 🚨 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Dan James misses.

[whelk]

Oh well. Good news for Southampton pubs in June 

[Baird of the land]

As soon as I heard Dan James name, I thought he’d miss. Odd Ramsey didn’t take one.

Shouldn’t have took brooks off .. 

[Harry_SFC]

Seen some people saying Brooks was limping as he came off

[whelk]

You have to be really shit now to not qualify for bloated tournaments. Can’t claim a hard luck story. Even fucking Scotland qualified!

I didn’t see any limp to be honest

Scotland do have McAdams, McArmstrong, McFraser and McLochNessMonster though.

[Dusic]

The fact Brooks came on so late suggested to me he was carrying a knock into the game and seemed like he asked to come off.

Bednarek did fine versus Moore who didnt really do anything. Both attacks were one paced and largely poor.

[Exeter Saint]

Janny B is going to the Euros. Good for Saints defence confidence for the rest of the season.

Moore looked pretty crap …. Nothing to be overly concerned about.

Brookes looked very good and transformed Wales, very strange indeed that he was subbed … Must be carrying a knock surely… 

[goodymatt]

Page said in his post match interview that Brooks had hardly trained the last 2 days due to an illness and so he needed to take him off as he wanted fresh legs.

lol Take the best player on the pitch off for ‘fresh legs’ He had only been on the pitch about 20mins….

That is weird….

Or.... Bednarek played 120 mins on Tuesday night before a crucial game for Saints on Friday afternoon....

Tired legs aren't going to improve his ability to avoid mistakes.

Edit - just seen he was subbed!  So only 78 mins played. As you were.

Meanwhile Belgium perfect the dive to the ground after losing the ball in a tackle , looked like it's been perfected in training as so many players did it .

Never really got the hype around Dan James, seems to be a lot of pace but very little technical refinement to his game. A poor mans Shane Long you could say. 

A very sad indictment of Man Utd's transfer policy of the last 10 years! The fact he cost Leeds £35m makes me cringe.

[The Kraken]

Leicester could feasibly be out of the top two by the end of today 🤪

[trousers]

Only a matter of time before Leicester score unfortunately.

[trousers]

And then Vardy misses a sitter...

[S-Clarke]

If Leicester lose this then god knows where they go from here. I've never seen a team implode like they have.

[AlexLaw76]

Brizzol lead
